Its Time to Shape Up (i Think I Might Have Gone Crazy)
Posted: 03-23-06 23:17pm

Hey... I'm 13, 5'2", and 130lb. I look fine, I guess, I mean there are people in my class (8th grade) who weigh less than me and look fatter, but I am personally horrified at my huge stomach roll and flabby thighs (which have stretch marks).

I know this might seem a little crazy because I mean - whats a little belly and thigh flab? But swimsuit season is coming up and i've convinced myself I need to be healthier. But, how do I go about this?

All I do after school is either pal around with my friends at the movies or at each others houses or mess about right here. On the computer. I never exercise apart from gym at school, and I never have any energy for that. 2 minutes huffing and puffing around the gym with the others is torture.
Ugh!

Can any of you lot please please please help me out with this? I want to get down to at least 120 and I want to be healthier and have more energy. Better eating habits. Any tips?

I'm not sure what the weight conversions are as I'm in Australia and we go by kilos.
My advise would be drink plenty of water. Eat a good wholesome breakfast and have two more healthy meals per day. Do a little exercise perhaps walking to scool. If you exercise just 3 times a week for about half an hour and you drink water and you eat well then you will lose weight.

It sounds to me like you just need to get a little more active.
Go biking, walking, running, swimming, anything!

What are your eating habits like? You really are in a healthy range; however I would never say it's a problem for someone to tweak their eating habits to something a little healthier in general Wink

As long as you understand that you are in a healthy range in terms of BMI and weight loss shouldn't be your main goal in this so much developing healthy eating and exercising habits for your future.
