* How much weight / inches do you want to lose?
1. Carry water with you everywhere you go.
2. Color your plate. (Colorful foods are healthy!)
3. Cut out fast food.
4. Cut out soda
5. Exercise
6. Don't starve yourself.
7. Don't deprive yourself.
8. Don't give up your goal.
9. Don't try to isolate. (Eat a variety!)
10. Drink a glass of water before you eat.
11. Eat five small meals a day.
-Light Breakfast, Mid-morning snack, light lunch, mid-afternoon snack, and a balanced dinner.
12. Give yourself 20 mins to feel full after a meal.
13. Get the right fit (pants) .. (If you get pants that fit you right, it's gonna make you feel and look thinner!)
14. Get your cardio going! (20 mins. 5 days a week.)
15. Have a special goal in mind
16. Ignore the hype when it comes to commercial products.
17. IGNORE THE SCALE!
18. Know your portions.
19. Maintain good posture.
20. One word: SWIM
21. Read the labels. (even on diet food)
22. Strengthen your core
23. Substitute sweets
24. The perfect push-ups.
25. Try reverse sit-ups.
26. Work together. (You are soo much more excited/dedicated to doing this when you're working with someone!)
27. NEVER skip breakfast.
28. Carefully monitor the food you eat.

-I read that you're supposed to change it up every couple weeks. If you keep doing the same things over and over than your body will get used to it and it will no longer help you lose weight. So remember to switch things up every once and awhile!

I am soo excited to start doing these things and I really hope they work! I am skinny already, but (of course) like most women, I am NOT satisfied with my look. my stomach needs to be flat and not have that little pouch thingy, and I wanna be more fit too! I'm tired of being able to look down and see my thighs jiggling lol. Even if other people don't notice things, I DEFIANTLY do! and I feel that this will help boost my self-confidence as well.

Everything is good except that a skinny teenager should absolutely not want to lose weight. Absolutely not, cannot stress it enough!

When did you start menstruating? Are you still growing in height? How old are you?

I'm not sure when I started menstruating , it was a couple years ago. & I'm not sure if I'm still growing in height or not. I'm 16. I'm around 5'2 and I weigh about 96 pounds.
I know that I don't NEED to lose weight, but I have the worst self confidence in the world, and I am always struggling with how I look. I know I shouldn't care what other people think either, but I do, and I always will. Also I am hypoglycemic , and my doctor told me that teens with hypo have a big chance of becoming diabetic when they get older. So I need to watching what I eat anyway. (which I've never done before.)

You might or might not still be growing a bit, and if you are still growing, you definitely should not lose weight. You weight is good. If you want to look better, you can do strength training and cardio which would tone you. I am also going to start experimenting with make-up to look better.

Your plan is good!
Thanks for this!

Well, girl, you don't need to lose weight. Your BMI is low. Your plan is very good for a healthy diet and you should eat a healthy diet, but you don't need to lose any weight.

I'm with Hamster that you should work on your strength training and get toned. That will probably help you feel better about yourself. Learning these healthy habits now is excellent idea. Plus a healthy diet will help your moods, too.

I agree, weight loss not needed, and you don't want to start getting into that mindset now. Been there, and its not worth it at all. Eating healthy tho, yes we all need to do that part.

Building some muscle and toning, building strength will probably help you feel better, give you confidence if you approach it with the right mindset. And is healthy for you. I found some awsome videos on youtube that are short, hard yet pretty fun.. The girl doing them is great and funny. I can send you some link to them if you want.
