Answers:
Try this, you'll see and feel results in 2-3 days!. The muscle will outweigh the fat so don't let the scale discourage you :)
For exercise, try switching it up (Monday work on arms, Tuesday work on stomach, Wednesday work on legs, Thursday Rest, Friday Arms, Saturday Stomach, Sunday Legs) though you can choose your own schedule/plan!. Try maybe using different machines for stomach or legs or arms so your body doesn't get used to it!. Also, try increasing the amount of exercise you do every week!.
For eating, try portion control (70% of your diet is food intake but exercise is also important) eating the serving size and if there is no designated serving size, 1cup if it's a meal and 1/2 a cup if it's a snack!.
Breakfast- Whenever you choose
Drink of choice- hour after breakfast (all other drinks being water; one cup of drink of choice)
Lunch- 1hr after Drink of choice
Snack- 1/2 cup, 1 hour after lunch
Dinner- 2 hours after snack
It doesn't matter WHAT you eat unless you're on a specific diet such as Atkins, it's mostly just How MUCH we take in and how OFTEN we take it in!. I have problems with over-eating and I'll eat an ice cream, oh I want another and it's not b/c I'm hungry it's b/c I have a craving for it and it feels like I can't wait!. Also, eating out of boredom, try drinking water often to prevent hunger!. I also have this problem and especially when I'm exercising!. For exercise, maybe try lifting cans for your arms, eventually try doing two at a time and hold them away from you!. For legs, lay sideways on the ground propped up by your elbow and lift your top leg up and down slowly then switching!. Also, go to youtube!.com and search 8 minute abs, 8 minute legs, 8 minute buns, and 8 minute arms!. Do those workouts 3 times a week one time a day; take my word or you'll be in BIG PAIN!!!! lol
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Also, calculate your intake so you know how much to work towards burning plus extra for the muscle :)
I'm twelve and this has always worked for me b/c I have a fat gene and I always maintained my weight and lost it if I got off track :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Good luck! Also, gym class REALLY does help you!. In highschool, your body is tested to the ultimate level!Www@Answer-Health@Com
