I need to loose weight....? -

I am 13 yrs old and i am quite tall. I weigh 7.5 stone and i really want to loose weight. The bottems of my legs are quite big and i ve been told its muscle. I really hate my legs and I want them to be skinny. My belly is also quite flabby and I want a skinny tite belly like my friends. Any1 got any weight loss tips??

My first thoughts are to worry less about your appearance (I know it s difficult), and more about your health and well being. If you want to impress the opposite sex, you re going about it wrong. Guys who are attracted to you for your looks are less likely to be the ideal friend than the ones who are attracted to you for your mind and how well you care for yourself. Now as far as getting fit, it s about conditioning your mind to eat to live and not live to eat. Combine that with some daily mild exercise and watch as the flab comes off in just a few weeks or months. Here s my official weightloss blog:Here��s all you need to lose weight all over, look good, and get really healthy. First, you have to realize there is no quick, long lasting weight loss plan or pill that is going to do the trick. It��s purely mental. You have to learn to ��Eat to live, don��t live to eat��. Sounds simple, doesn��t it? It is, if you understand that you are going to be reprogramming how you think about eating for the next few weeks. Old habits die hard, right? Not really. You get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good habits. If you learn to count your Calories, keep Calorie intake lower than output, exercise moderately, and eat only healthy food, you will lose weight. That��s a fact. All it takes is repetition. All success stories have this in common: The successful folks among us know how to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Set a goal, write it down, and stick with it. The benefits of feeling good will outweigh any sense of sacrifice you might feel about having to push away that cake and ice cream.

105 lbs isn t heavy, I doubt you need to LOSE any weight. What you should concentrate on though is drinking plenty of water (not diet drinks) Drink the heck out of water all day, every day and eventually the weight will start dropping off. I drank nothing but water for several months and lost 10 pounds. I didn t change my diet at all, just what I drank and how much of it.
