Hi Anna, I think your best strategy is to limit refined sugars. I’ve also written a few articles with my best tips and the reasons why limiting sugars is so important (all links are listed in the article), so read those as well.

I am almost 160 pounds. This really freaks me out because i used to weigh like 140 before the school year started. Is there anyway to lose the weight with out any extremes?

Hi Scarlett. At 13 you are still developing. Some girls are thin, others more chubby. It’s all normal. I would say that if you eat a healthy diet and you feel good, there is no problem there. However, I’m no doctor, so always check with a gp if you’re not sure. As an older woman, I would say to enjoy your youthful body. You are incredibly beautiful! Everybody is unique. Nobody is perfect. Yet every body is beautiful. To gain muscles just choose your favorite sport. You will not usually lose a lot of weight from it, because sport you will want to eat some more.
I can’t help you with your second question. Good luck!

One, I feel underwieght and the chart said I was, but the calculatar says I’m just in the healthy range. I’m thirteen, weight 90 pouns, and am 5’2-5’3. I was wondering if you thought this sounded healthy, just in opinion. I don’t eat a lot of meat, or a lot of anythibg at all. I eat cheese, peanut butter, etc with protien but I’ve never been muscular, although I have started up softball and have gym at school. Do you know any easy ways to obtain muscle without becoming thinner? My rib cage shows and it makes me insecure, along with my legs which make me feel fat. I don’t want to change me diet too much, because Ireally don’t like worrying about eating constantly. A little over a year ago I saw a doctor for a regular check up and she said I was below average but that she was glad I was lean. This doesn’t really help me in finding out if I’m underwieght though. I plan on returning for a cvgheck up soon and getting advice there, but bhyour opinion would be much appriecated for the time being.
My other question is about a character I’m creatingb for a story. I want a thin, but not underwieght 16 year old girl. I’d like her to be short, but not so short she looks closer to 13 rather than 16. I’d like to know your suggested measurements for a person of this discription. This character will be strong, but not muscular, and will not have a very larger fat ratio. Any opinion or suggestion will be appriecated.
-Scarlet

Hi Jay If I were you I would definitely see a GP. You will need more sleep and a persistent back ache at your age is something you really need to look at.

I forgot to mention, my body fat is 19% – so obviously I could get leaner. However losing 10% of my body weight seems like a lot.

Thanks.

Hi Nic. The chart is not always right. If you are very muscly for example, the numbers will be off. I would use your own judgement and when in doubt visit a GP for his/her opinion.
