Hi, I'm new here! I'm not really overweight, but I'm 5"1 and weigh 135 pounds. Since September, I have lost 5 pounds and I'm not sure how. The highest weight I have ever been was 145. When I did the weight calculator it said most people my age are usually around 81-119 pounds. Does anyone have and adive on how I could lose 15-20 pounds? In June the whole 8th grade is going on a field trip to a waterpark. I want to go, but I don't want to wear a bathing suit in front of everyone if I'm the same weight as I am now. Another problem I have is that I have NO self confidence. I'm very shy and get nervous around people I don't know. Please let me know if you have any advice or dieting tips.
