How do I lose weight without my parents knowing?!

I honestly doubt they'd trip if you tried to lose such a small amount of weight, but if you really want to keep your weight loss efforts from them, just make some small adjustments to what you already eat. Like if you eat a snack after school every day to hold you over until dinner, try not to.

I just got an excerpt from a Dr. Oz Show article talking about how drinking water can help people with their weight loss goals, here it is: Mistake No 5:You Don't Drink Enough Water
The next time you feel hungry, take a big, long drink of water and you may not need to eat. Because the hormones in our intestines that tell us we're hungry are very similar to the hormones that let us know we're thirsty, we're not very good at distinguishing hunger from thirst, which is why we typically reach for food when we should be drinking. "Often hunger pangs are just your body screaming for a little extra H20," said Dr. Oz. And when we're not well hydrated, our metabolism drags. "H20 is essential for burning calories," said Dr. Oz. "Adults who drink eight-plus glasses of water a day burn more calories than those who drink less."

Dr. Oz's Fix: Drink water before every meal and snack and a few more in between. According to a study done at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, overweight study volunteers who drank a 16-ounce bottle of water before every meal lost 44 percent more weight after 12 weeks than volunteers who didn't drink water before dining. That may be because water drinkers ate about 75 fewer calories when they drank water before their meals, as another Virginia Tech study found. "I carry a water bottle with me wherever I go so I'm constantly sipping," said Dr. Oz.
If eight glasses a day seems daunting, try this mind trick: Drink from larger bottles, so instead of consuming eight glasses, you're sipping just three and a half bottles. Easy! And there's no reason to always drink it plain. "I completely get that people think water is bland," said Dr. Oz. "In our house, we make water more appealing by adding slices of fruit or a splash of fruit juice to give it a different taste."

So drink water before meals, cut out after school snacks, or change them to fruit or veggies if they're currently less-healthy.

You mention nothing about your height or weight and I'm assuming you're female which means there is at least one body part that is likely carrying weight that isn't going to be easy to get rid of without starving yourself. Also, you're likely going through a growth spurt.

Instead of focusing on weight loss, you should put emphasis on eating right and exercising to tone any areas that might actually be extra, unwanted weight. If your parents aren't serving nutritious food, then say you are learning about health in school.

Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This it self will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.

why don't you want your parents to know? I would say relax and understand that you're GROWING! It's NATURAL for your shorts to get too tight after a while. Be healthy and let your body do what it does. If I were your parents, I wouldn't want you losing weight either.
