get off the diet!! that diet does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! all it does is deprive your 13 year old body of its nutrients. just eat small portions at meals with healthy snacks in between. your running and exercise is very good.

I bet you could lose 15 pounds by then and if you don't think u look good in a bikini, try a tankini. I weight 181 and 5'7" use to be 210 so I know how you feel, like this one time this girl told me that I took up half of the seat on the bus, that made me really mad! But, you can't let those ppl get to u, its not your fault that your metabolism is smaller than yours! They need a life, and be glad that you are not one of them, and if you get skinny or to the weight u wanna be at, don't let anybody make fun of chubby girls and use your experience to benefit you, I'm sure you can lose the 15 pounds though, GOOD LUCK!!

i wouldnt totally agree with the grape fruit diet.. but um you will start seeing a difference after about ten-twenty pounds depending on where the weight is comming from mainly... most of the time its evenly lost through out but other times its not and for the areas you really have issues with target them when your working out like if you have issues with your legs and but do squats , stomach do crunches, and arms do pushups...or lift weights..well i hope this helps!

I used to be bullyed also, and I still somewhat do...people fingers and everything but I've gotten used to it and now I'ved learned to ignore it, I actually talk back to people who say something now which feels good.

Don't worry it takes time...but yeah I feel the same exact way ...I know I lost weight but I still don't SEE myself looking different. Hang in there and keep excersizing,you will see results soon enough.
