Hi There -There is a community for teens on a healthy lifestyle and it has many helpful tools on there such as calorie counters, teen groups to join. This site has a lot of helpful information and also other people your age that are facing the same challenges that you are experiencing.www.sparkteens.comHope this helps!w8losschick

Eating right and staying fit are a must when trying to lose weight. But detoxifying your body every once in a while will also give dramatic results. I use a detox system I found on the internet about once a month. In addition to promoting weight loss, I just feel more alive by detoxing my body. Hope this helped

count calories. since you are already doing exercise, it really all does come down to calories in vs. calories out. use this website to figure out how much you need:http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2005/1��

Well, considering you are participating in soccer practice every weekday for 2 hours, I think it is fair to say that you do more then enough exercise.So, the only other possible thing that I can think of is decreasing your portion size more and alternating your foods. For example, try switching your jelly to sugar free jelly or replace your cheese with a half fat brand etc. Do you know how many calories you are consuming ? If not, it might help if you start keeping a check. Perhaps you could start a little food diary to give you an idea of how much you are eating and how many calories you are getting. Remember that you should be eating slightly more then a normal person though because you are doing so much exercise ! Oh and if it s any consolation, a lot of your weight is probably muscle - and muscle weighs more then fat.P.S - Not not eating or using diet pills is a good idea. Not eating is not a route you want to go down. My girlfriend is Anorexic and it s awful.
