Ok, it seems like you are reasonably active, and you are genuinely trying to be healthy. Good for you! Many teens just don t care, and others are downright obsessed with weight to the point of making themselves sick. I hope you maintain a healthy medium. Let s take a close look at what you are doing and then maybe I can make a few suggestions.Losing weight as a teen can be tricky. I usually don t advise teens to lose weight, but rather just work on developing healthy eating and exercise habits and letting your body respond to those healthy practices. If you are really determined to lose, consult a pediatrician or a registered dietitian for professional guidance. So - your gym class is 75 minutes, but what are you actually doing in class? Learning to play volleyball is cool and all, but it does not burn as many calories a swimming laps or jogging.You can count the minutes you are really moving, but not the time alotted for changing clothes - see what I mean? What do you do whan school is over? Are you in extra-curricular activities of any kind? Do you go home and watch TV, play Xbox or whatever or chat online for hours? Even though you have gym every day (Yay! to your school) more activity is good for you. It can be an organized sport, or you can just go for a walk or shoot baskets in your driveway or play DDR. The important thing is to find an activity you like to do, so you re having fun while moving your body. As for eating habits, try keeping a food diary for a week. Write down everything you eat and drink - even chewing gum or breath mints! This helps you be more aware of your food choices and you can count calories and fat grams too. Use the food diary to see when you eat junk food, and why. Then try substituting fruit or salad in place of the junk half of the time or more often. Everyone could stand to eat more fruits and vegetables. When you do indulge in junk food, try a veggie pizza instead of pepperoni or sausage (two of the fattiest meats!), choose popcorn instead of potato chips, and drink water instead of soda pop whenever possible. Little changes like this can really add up to a healthier you!Good luck to you.

Have you changed your diet at all? Fresh foods and eating several small meals durng the day could allow you to see a real change. You re on the right track with staying active. Great job!! Also, look into multi-vitamins. They can balance your chemistry and make you feel better.
You have got to cut out the junk. No sweets at all and treat sugar as a poison. The secret to losing weight is reducing your food intake and keeping a daily notebook and record what you eat and the amount of calories in the repsective food. And, eat a lot of grapefruit! That is the secret!
The only solution I can think of is to cut back the amount of food you eat. 5 2 150lb is actually overweight....I m not being rude...it is the fact.
holy cow. Gym for 75 minutes a day. At school?.... thats pretty good for activitiy. Hmm... The only thing I can say ...since you already exercise a lot and you dont eat too much junk.... is to maybe try to cut out some more calories. If you eat a cheese burger or a sandwich at lunch, switch to a salad. The highschool that I went to had a salad bar. If yours doesnt, pack some lettus in a tight container and some dressing in another container (If you put the dressing on the salad in the morning, it gets soggy--found that out the hard way)...and have a salad for lunch.Do you drink soda or juice? Switch to water. Water is great for your body!.... Sometimes, when I feel like snacking inbetween meals, i have an ice cold glass of water instead (Sometimes i put a fresh lemmon slice in it.... for some flavor...as the water does get boring after a while)... as for the love handles, they ll go away with the weight lost. You cant really target an area (Though it would be nice)...once you start losing weight...you ll lose it all over your body. If you live somewhere warm, or if you have access to a pool...swimming is a great exercise. Its an aerobic exercise and it also strenghtens your muscles. --I read someones answer and they said no sweets at all...pleaes dont listen to this...as sweets arent good for your body, you cant cut them out completely. You ll drive yourself crazy and doing so will lead you towards failure. ***Everything is ok in moderation!!*** If your craving a sweet, have something like a hershey kiss, or a peanutbutter cup (just one)Good luck.
