Hey we are the same situation. I'm 13 going 14 and I have been obessing over my weight too. I'm not overweighted or anything, but I guess I just want to get skinnier :P To lose weight you should exercise EVERYDAY. No excuses. At LEAST 30 minutes, but preferably more. Since it's summer vacation you should do at least 2-4 hours each day. ( I know its seems impossible but time flies when you sweat) Other than exercise, EAT RIGHT. Skip the junk food. The number one weight gainer food is soda. Go diet soda and don't eat chips, candy, etc... I encourage eating more vegetables and fruits. Don't try starving yourself and not eating. Like me you're only 13 and we still have alot to grow (for me my breast lol:) ) and starving ourselves is not going to work. Just try to cut down on your meals a bit and eat alot of fruits and veggies in between for snacks. For the exercise try to do something different. What I do for is for sit-up is that I don't do the basic sit-up. I try to burn as much calories so I lift my legs while doing sit- ups. See what I mean? Try to do more challenging things. Add more stuff into the original exercise routine. Here is a quick list on what I do - if you have stairs jog up and down (its great exercise and its right at your house too) - swim! swimming burns ALOT of calories and since its the summer its the right temperature and you can cool off and get a tan too! :) - if you have a iPod do some routine where you run on the first song, pace on the second, and walk on the third. repeat that. - go on your bike. biking 10 miles an hour burns about 200 calories!!! - play some tennis!! (thats my favorite sport!) if you dont know it doesnt matter! learn! you have the whole summer to learn it. - jump rope!!! just rope for a couple of minutes. you'll be sweating in no time! - go hiking! it your dad (or anyone else) is a outdoory type make him/ her go hiking with you! Hope i help a bit! No matter what just love your body! Email me and tell me how it goes!!! I'll encourgae you on the way!! :) I hope we can be friends!
