HI, NO IT WON T MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT ANY FASTER, BUT it may be easier for you to lose 5 pds ( for example) than someone who is only 5 feet 2 if you both weigh the same amount. The reason is not because of your height, but because of what is known as the BMI, body mass index. The Body Mass index is a much better indicator of what you should weigh. I was tall for my age when I was 12 and I was dieting from the time I was 14 or 15. I wasn t fat ( looking back now.) but when you are a young girl it is easy to be influenced by media and the fashion industry. At my lowest weight I was down to 100 pds, and I still thought I needed to lose weight, though I really was a skeleton. This was an example of anorexic Nervosa, but when you are a young girl you dont allways do what is best for you. The best way to lose weight is to eat a healthy diet, low fat, non processed foods, cutting down on sugar, fats, and empty calories.( candy, soda, cookies, cakes, chips, etc.)some fats are needed for the human body to function, but choose healthy oils llike Olive oil, nut oils, etc. Choose healthy meal plans, with protein choices like lean meats, chicken without skin, fish is excellent,( beans, legumes, tofu if you are vegetarian, )fresh fruit and vegetables, and lots of fresh watr. Exercise in moderaton, Take brisk walks instead of driving to and from the mall, or ride a bike to friends homes. There are tons of diet books out there and you can find all the information you need on the internet as well.All teen girls seem to think they need to be on a diet, and if you are eating lots of junk food, fast food, then you may need to adjust your diet, but it doesn t mean that you are overweight.It is better when you are young to not diet, but choose your food you eat carefully and exercise is an excellent way to controll your appetite and exercise will help with firming up and toning muscle. Also lifting small weights will build muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. you may weigh the same, but will fit into smaller clothes, because Fat is what takes up more room and is unattractive. Check on the internet site listed to see what your BMI is, and if it says that you are indeed overweight, then adjust your diet but work with a nutritonist or your mom or another adult to help you with meal planning. Lots of times, a simple adjustment to your diet, will help you lose pounds that have not been comming off. Don t be swayed by fad diets, and shows on t.v. about Models, those are unrealistic examples of what the Real Women and girls out there look like. It is much healthier to be a plus size that is healthy, than a size 0 who is anorexic and sick.Anorexia as well as Bulimia is not just a medical condition, but it is a disease and if caught early can save you a world of pain. If you learn to accept your body type and work with it and dress accordingly, you will be much happier than trying to acheive something that may be unrealistic. For example. A girl that is big boned and stands 5 feet 9 inches, ( your height, ) is very unlikely to ever weigh 110 pds.Unless you are grossly overweight, just keep up with your exercise, that is great that you have decided to exercise. Keep up with the exercises yo are already doing, and you will be in good shape before you know it. Remember to learn to love your body and not get hung up on statistics and numbers that insurance groups put on the old weight height charts. A much better indicator of if you are overweight or not and just how fit you are, is the pinch an inch test. If you can pinch more than an inch on your stomach, hip area or on the lower arms, then exercising witll tighten up loose flab and you will look much better in your clothes as well. Look up the sites listed below and good luck with your exercise program.

NO
no. it doesnt matter what height you are, different people lose weight in different amounts and at different paces
I m a little freaked when you say you re tall for your age. If you are still in highschool or below, and your friends tell you you don t need to lose weight, than you don t. That would be called obsessive.I don t think it will help you lose weight faster, but because you are taller, you probably have a higher metabolism than someone who is 5 feet, which means you demand more calories on a daily basis, which means you can probably eat more than the person who is 5 feet tall and not gain as much weight as them. It is though, probably easier for you to stay on track once you ve lost weight though, by eating correctly.
