Hey, I'd like to lose just a few pounds cause I'm not exactly fat but I'm not sinny either. I'm also not real sporty so I feel stupid and klutzy playing sports. But I love dancing, hiking, biking, jogging, and walking. Could anyone give me a link to a workout routine on GL that would help me drop a few pounds and help increase my health? Thanks!

I am so so fat. I am 4foot 11, and weigh 98 pounds. All my other friends are super skinny and tiny boned, not only am i fat, but big boned. I stopped eating a big lunch and now i only have an apple and they always bug me and tell me to eat more. I cant. I just cant, i dont want to gain weight! They dont understand! HELP




First off, stop being so hard on yourself. That doesn't sound fat to me. If you want to eat healthy and exercise, that is good. But don't put your health in danger to do it. GL has some good workout tips on the website.

That thing said I was overweight but ym Dr. said my weight is healthy. I trust my Dr. I'm not super skinny or really fat. I'm more than normal though. Any suggestions on what i could do to just lose like 2 pounds?




Hey babe! Sometimes BMI is different for different people. Muscle ways more than fat, and our bodies are built differently, sometimes weighing more than they actually look.  If your doc says you're healthy, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You are awesome, just as you are!

Good news! my BMI says i am at a healthy weight.
i am sooo happy
i'm pretty tall, so i guess that means i wigh more and most of my friends are kinda well, naturally skinny and it's been kinda hard hanging out with them

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, I am an 11 year old girl and I weigh 142 pounds! I also have a bff who is almost 180 pounds. We hang out all of the time and we excercise at recess EVERY DAY!! But, we are not losing any weight, and many girls are making fun of us when we run at phys. ed. They say, " Hey, Sierra! Run a couple more thousand miles! Maybe you can lose 2 pounds!" It makes me and my friend so sad. We cry every time someone brings it up, and then they make fun of us for crying! HELP!!!! Thanks!

 

Hey girl,
I'm so sorry to hear about the body troubles.  As long as you are eating a variety of nutritious foods and doing some physical activity you enjoy, you should be at a weight that's good for you - every body is different.  As much as you can, ignore what those people say about you.  What really matters is what you think of your body, so remember all the things that make you beautiful (inside and out).  If you're still struggling, or they won't let up on the teasing, talk to a trusted adult - a parent or school counselor - to get the support you need.  You can get through this!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I am 13 and I weigh 90-95 pounds and I love my body. Otherwise I'm in the 37th percentile and my BMI is 18.6 which is a healthy weight for me. but I don't wear tank tops because I think that me arms are fat and I have a fold by my armpit that looks like my arm is fat, how do I get rid of it?

 

Hey girl, everyone has that arm fold. I know exactly what you're talking about. If you love your body (and you should, because its wonderful the way it is) you're just going to have to accept that everyone has something about themselves they wish they could change, but you can't let that get in the way of doing things you want to do, like wearing tank tops!

I just think I'm a bit thin, but other than that, I LOVE P.E. I'm not afraid to kick guys' butts at their own game. ;)
