How can a 11 year old lose weight?
Well i used to eat lots and lots of sweets when i was younger at least 10 sweets a day and i regret that now im 109 pounds and 5ft 0.5 inches i put on a lot of weight since i developed breasts and my hips got wider and... i gained quite a bit of weight how can i lose the weight maybe 5kg - 10kg i know im young and im still young but what exercises can i do is running up and down the stairs good or skipping?
Answers:
Running up and down stairs is good exercise - but I have yet to meet someone who does it long enough to actually do any good. Your best bet is to find an activity that you enjoy well enough to keep doing it on a regular basis - and for long enough to make it work.
At 11, even being overweight (I don't believe that you are, however. Check with your doctor - he/she might have better recommendations) you won't want to diet, persay, as you are still growing. You will, of course, want to start eating right, and finding activities that keep you moving, and absolutely cut out soda pop.
Of course you are going to be putting on weight with breasts and hips - that's part of growing up. But if you don't eat the sweets anymore and start doing fun active hobbies, you'll get the 'baby fat' and 'sugar fat' away.
If you have a school nurse, he/she might be a good person to talk to, as well.
