I think all kids should stay physically active, that’s the best way for them to keep themselves from gaining too much weight.

I’m 18 yrs old. About 4’11 and a 1/2- 5′ and I weigh 153lbs. I’d love to lose weight. Here’s my usual eating schedule

Wake up:7-8ish

Breakfast(right after wakeup) – 2 boiled eggs, 4 carrots, water OR Cheerios, strawberries and water(and I take medication)
Lunch(around 11-12)-salad containing lettuce, tomato, cucumber, boiled egg, carrots and no dressing, water OR rice, chicken, and veggies (baked chicken/boiled or steamed veggies) and water
Snack(around 2ish)-granola bar/fruit/veggies/yogurt/one piece toast with peanut butter
Dinner(around 5ish)-baked chicken, salad with cheese, water OR fresh veggies, with lunch meat

In the lines of that. I avoid fried/greasy/salty foods.

I’ve been in sports my entire life. Softball/volleyball/basketball for school, travel teams, pitching/batting coaches, etc. When one sport ends another starts. I’ve been told I may have diabetes because of frequent urination, thirst and if I get a cut/bruise it takes longer for me to heal. I got hit with a ball 2weeks ago and its still there. I got cut 3 weeks ago, and its still there. I get dizzy spells, nausea, migraines, pass out, tingling in hands/feet A LOT. What do yall think?

@Beck: Your not fat, but your not skinny, your average.
@Larissa: Once again average for your height.
@Kirtsy: Thats perfectly normal (lol again!)
@Jodie:): perfect weight for your height.
And for any one who thinks I’m not “qualified, no I’m not, but my mom’s a dietician, and she IS qualified, so I asked her

So anyways, I’m 14 and I weigh 98 lbs. I know I’m underweight, but I have trouble gaining weight because I’m so active (I’m a gymnast) Any weight GAINING tips?

Hey everyone, I am a little afriad of a few peoples comments. I am 21 and have had they same feeling about my weight that you kids are going through. What is really important to know about how to know iif your weight is unhealthy, use the BMI system, the body mass index. It uses one’s height and the range of wieght they should be. Those who fall into the shaded area are those who truly need to watch their weight. Diet and exercise for every age is good. The best diet is not nessesarily counting calories but to avoid pre-made and packaged foods. Eat more veggies and local foods, no pop. For exercise, joining a sports team is perfect, like soccer. Weight lifting a few times a week will help burn extra fat faster than other routines. Girls don’t be hard on yourself because it is almost twice as hard for girls to maintaing weight than boys once they reach puberty. It doable for anyone if you make healthy balenced changes to you diet and exercise. Remeber that your young and you only get one childhood so don’t worry so much about weight and live life to the fullest. The best way to keep motivated is if you make it fun! Good luck to you all, and stay balanced in all things in life

Hey so I am 5’8, 135 pounds, and 14 years old. Right now, I am just struggling with that extra 10 pounds I want to lose, but I am having a lot of trouble. Lately I have been walking half and hour a day, and dancing while I clean (thought i do look a tad rediculous)… so I hope this works out! keep making these lists please, they are really helpful!!!

I am 12 and all of my friends are skinnier than me but I don’t think I look what I weigh.
I do eat quite healthily and excersise sometimes but my portions are too big for me and there are always snacks in the house and it’s hard too resist when my parents are out!
How can I keep away and get to the weight I want to be???
