how can a 12 year old lose 30 pounds in a month

i have the same problem. im 12, 5 ft 4 and i weigh 170. that's like the weight of a grown man. i dont feel like it though. i have been doing really well with keeping a journal of how many calories i have had and how much ive been excersizing. it has really helped so i dont go over my limit.

Try jogging or running everyday, about a km.

I understand how you feel! I'm twelve, almost thirteen, and I weigh from 125-140 pounds (I don't remember) but I'm 5'5, not that tall. I have lotsa chub and when I change for PE I feel kinda self conscious, especially about my belly and thighs, and I don't even have curves to make up for it!

so basically I subscribed to this a while ago when I was younger and naive WELL now I run an hour on the treasdmill 4 days a week and do something called "circuit workouts" it isn't that bad

trust me I used to be a girl who had trouble running a lap in gym class

plus I can eat as much as I want as long as its healthy
I've just cut out soda and lowered my sugar and fats
and honestly once you don't eat as much sugar it isn't really that appealing anymore like super sugary sweets oh and what I love about eating healthy is I FEEL GOOD AFTER like when I don't eat healthy I feel sick ish and gross I need to brush my teeth I break out I get cramps I maybe don't go to the bathroom it's just ugh not worth it but please sweeties choose your fat days don't go crazy but you can have them mines christmas and New Years for holidays I have one every week it keeps me from splurging just keep watch on sugar and fats I mean you can have them but try and keep it low and if you really want it fast THEN cut out all white carbs (including pancakes ;( ) replace with whole grain really only 3 meals a day NO snacking (train your stomach and soon enough you won't be hungry enough to snack) portion control, if your stomach shrinks then you just eat less in general (but your exercising so don't wear your body out). DO NOT EAT 2 HOURS BEFORE YOU SLEEP THIS IS VITAL cut back on juices they aren't as good as you think and since it might be hard to get your nutrients which you need honestly just take vitamins etc. replace everything with water it's key it flushed out your system of bad toxins and makes your skin healthier and sometimes even clears your acne! depends though.. if your hydrated you just look better too OH LORDY GET YOUR SLEEP HONEY PIE THIS IS IMPORTANT nap if you have to blah this is a lot alright calories don't matter as much I don't count them

plus the nice thing about this age of 12-14 ish is that you can get in shape fast if you stick to it

if you want anything more specific or tips I'd be happy to help

but one thing that's important to know:
your getting in a HEALTHY MUSCULAR shape for yourself
not for a guy and not for society but the better being of who you are
keep in mind skinny isn't always pretty
toned and healthy is
now for me I don't have a completely flat stomach because I'm not built that way! just fact! but I look good because I'm toned and Im more muscular and
by the way if your starting an exercise STRETCH (I learnt the hard way) AND keep hydrated seriously drink 4 water bottles a day (you don't wanna faint)
and start out slow ok? you have to BUILD the stamina WELL THAT WAS A NOVEL hope it helps! anymore questions if possible haha oh I just realized I like had no punctuation in all of this WELL WHATEVER

you need to really exersize fast !!!!!!!! i am 12 years old and i weigh 96npounds and i have a six pack

I feel were you are coming from I am 106pounds and 5,3/4 feet tall I really want to lose weight and I eat no fruit or vegetables

that i really good advice i did that and lost 10 pounds in about 3-5vweeks but all you need to do is work hard

Hey, I had the same problem as you I was trying everything. I thought I looked fat, I was like 130:140 pounds at that time. Everyone thought i was like 90 pounds because I was kind of tall. But I hated my self so much. My cousin came over one day, I was 11, she's 26 and has kids. She told me when I'm hungry, eat. At least grow in height. When ur older, you stop growing fast, but you can still lose weight and diet all you want. It does not matter what you look like when ur young. Your childhood isn't when people judge you much. When your an adult, it matters a whole f***ing lot more. I'm not an adult yet,but seriously no 12 year olds opinion matters. Anyway, don't expect massive changes in a week. What I suggest is to cut out EVERYTHING fat/sugary. Stuff like junk food and McDonald. You need to be committed to it instead of acting like your sad. You either do something about ur weight, or deal with it. I'm 12 now and I've actually lost 20 pounds in a year. 140 pounds last year. I actually cut out junk food and turned vegetarian. No meat. But fish and eggs and milk and icecream.yes. Vegans help animals. But other ways just love ur self or not. If u want to lose weight, Stay committed

Well your not alone one this one. My whole family has been calling me fat since I was around 11 and I am about to be 13 in like 4 days :) and I am 148 pounds...My mom tells me that I am fat everyday which is horrible she says she tells me so I know cause she wants me to be pretty and she said I will thanks her someday, well I am trying to lose weigh too all of my friends are thinner than me they are in the 90-120 zone ! So this year I am going to try to lose the weight, so I changed my daily meals in the morning eat the most out of the whole by most I don't mean eat a lot I mean eat till your full so I think you should eat some rice and salmon try to eat less rice and more salmon. Then eat a snack through out the day like a salad. Then in lunch eat some fish or chicken. for dinner try to eat early like at 4-6 because if you eat at night that's when you get more weight.You aren't alone we will work together and once in a awhile treat your self to something sweet. When you want something sweet try some fruits. :)

im 13 and just started a diet trust me...you need to go to the gym make sure everything you excercise is balnced out for example if you work on your biceps you need to work on your triceps or it could be wierd! i lost 10 pounds a month and it wasnt that hard i now have a six pack and can bench 150 and im only 13 it takes dedication your not gunna lose that much weight that soom tho

I know how you feel, I hve the same problem, I'm 40 pounds overweight and 12......
I have a dancing video games, and it makes it a lot easier when you're excersizing by doing something you want to do, not what you feel like you have to do. Also eat right. Try not as many sweet things, and more fruits. Watere is a good choice instead of sports drinks if you do sports. And like I said, find something you enjoy doing, and you will excersize more!

Well once you grow you loose it off as you stretch so there's nothing to worry about, ok EAT yes EAT but dont eat c**p if your mom has Cheetos and stuff with fructose corn syrup, throw it away im 12 im about 5'4 and im 101-105 depending on the occasion and that's all because my mom only feeds me organic stuff from trader joes, all natural stuff and nothing with more than 8 grams of sugar should be consumed or save it for special occasions. It works and dedicate an hour a day to exercise, try to walk more in the hallways at school and if you want take the long way.

I am 12 now but im 13 next week I used to be 11 and 6 stone now im 12 and im 10 stone ive noticed that my thighs and tummy are geting bigger than the used to be and I am asking my friends to help me out and they are right beside me on this because they kniw how I feel so I try to drink a cup of water before and after a meal because it helps to break down the food more and only eat a fist size portion at least 3 times a day because your tummy is the size of your fist I also do sit up and push ups 25 of each at least 5 times a week I have lost almost a stone and I am really happy with my self xxxx
