How much weight do i need to lose? (13 yr old; 115 pounds)?
I am 13 and i know i need to lose a few pounds.
i am 5 feet tall and 115 pounds.

how much weight do i need to lose and what is a fast way to lose it?

It's summer right now, but during school... i play volleyball, basketball, and tennis. Still, i haven't lost much weight. Only 1 or 2 pounds this whole year.
Additional Details
I'm a girl and i do these sports at school according to the season. Which is like 2 months each sport. Not all 3 sports during one time period.

I would try for 100 or 105. Try limited your calories to 1500 and eating lots of fruit and veggies. They burn off faster and keep you fuller longer. Keep up the excercise too, it will help with toning you up.

Good Luck

I think that may be your healthy weight. Talk to your primary care physician before you go and try to lose weight.

Remember that muscle weighs more than fat.

You could have the athletic body so I wouldn't worry about it.

You don't need to lose any weight. Eat healthy and you will be fine. If you play as many sports as you say you do you need to consider that muscle weights more then fat because muscle holds more water then fat.

You don't need to lose any weight at all. Like someone else said, go by how proportioned you are and what size you are. You may feel bigger than other kids your age but you probably just matured faster. I am the same size now at 22 years old as I was when I was 14, so don't sweat your weight. As long as you are active, which you are, you will not become overweight. Enjoy your life and stop worrying about your weight. You are fine.

You are at a very good weight for your height and age. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so you can be small and weigh more than someone who's chubby.

best advice you will ever get. do not go by the weight. you go by your size and the amount of fat you have on your body, you can be smaller and weigh more because you gain muscle. and go by how healthy you feel and are.

your weight sounds pretty normal. since you play so many sports you probably weigh a little bit more because muscle weighs more than fat.

if you really think you need to slim down, though, exercise at least one hour a day, and do 90 sit ups, 10 pushups, and hold a V-sit for 45 seconds morning, afternoon, and night.

i'm 13 too, and this really helps to keep me in shape!

It sounds like you are pretty active. You shouldn't be concerned about your weight, you are only 13 and being 115 pounds is not that much. You are bound to get taller and you will look smaller anyway. Just keep eating healthy and exercising daily and you should be fine. You may lose weight, but not too much. Only be concerned if you are seriously having issues and can't do stuff because of your weight.

girl of the moment :)
are you a chick or a dude?
im 108 and 14 in november.
and im like 5ft 5in or 5ft 4in. around there.

your BMI is 22.5
normal weight = 18.5-24.9
overweight = 25-29.9

so you are healthy and you don't need to lose any weight.

just drink lots of water & eat healthy.

you shouldn't be worrying about weight loss at our age when you are at a normal weight/ bmi (body mass index).

Just keep doing what you're doing except go on a healthy non-dangerous diet. Continue with your daily exercises and it'll be okay.

you've got to be kidding me

shut up and be happy with the body that God gave you. There's nothing more annoying than insecure girls (and boys) and their weight. Just live life because, frankly, nobody cares how fat you are

be proud of yourself and be thankful for your body. You never need to LOSE weight. You only want to.

You are at a great weight for your height. The reason why you aren't loosing weight is that your body is right on target.

Instead of loosing pounds, you may need to loose some flab- you might want to start doing things like walking for 30 minutes a day three times a week, doing crunches, start working out with weights for toning(to tone you use low weight and high reps- instead of 10, do 20), take aerobics, etc. Do those activities you choose on a regular activity, and the flab will go away.
If there is an area of your body you have been trying to loose weight from, then find some exercises that are done for that part of your body.

Also- women are rounder than men. We are supposed to have a little roundess to our tummies.
