starving yourself will do you no good, instead it can lead to water retention and you may end up looking bloated. Concentrate on eating a balanced meal, excercise regularly and also try positive affirmations. Affirmations can go a long way in making you feel good about yourself and at same time motivate you to stick to a weight loss program. Try affirmations like I love and accept myself , I am now ready to accept a healthy lifestyle etc

your fine with getting exercise, but you need to eat more.i know that sounds weird cause you wanna lose weight, but eat 5-6 small meals a day, it helps shed of some pounds.and do some crunches for your stomach!

at 13 u should not be thinking of loosing weight, ur better waiting til ur body fully develops

since you arent overweight or obese at all, some good, easy ways for you to maybe tone up a bit and lose a couple pounds are1. stop drinking sodas and juice. drink sugar free juices or sodas occasionally (crystal light is really good) but try drinking mostly water2. dont eat so much processed foods. a lot of kids now a days eat the pizza pockets and frozen eggrolls and cheese fries and stuff as snacks that are so processed. just by making your own foods instead of buying them prepackaged makes a big difference. you could look up recipes to make your own baked chips for snacks, or even just grab some lunchmeat and cheese and make yourself a sandwich. 3. try to limit going out to eat to once a week. that way you dont feel deprived but still arent overdoing it. 4. try drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water a day.5. your workout routine sounds great! keep it up girl thats awesome!6. try to add more fruits and veggies in your diet. i always tell myself to have at least one fruit and/or veggie every time i eat something. by the end of the day ive had the full reccomended amount of them for each day without even really trying hard7. take a multivitamin. it helps your metabolism burn calories and also helps your body in lots of other ways like making your hair strong and your nails look pretty too! :]8. get enough sleep at night. believe it or not, this is a really important factor for anyone wanting to lose any amount of weight. sleep helps your bodys defences, helps repair and build your muscles and has literally been proven to somehow help you lose weight! weird, i know but it does! lol and since your a teen you should be getting 9-10 hours of sleep a night. if thats impossible for you, try naps in the afternoon. im 19 and take naps lol i feel so much better and more energized afterwards, even if it wasnt but a 30 minute one!good luck! i hope this little tips help!
