How to Run to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

If you go out for a sport, you won't need to starve yourself and you'll develop healthy behaviors for the rest of your life. I think it's a lot better to be healthy over the long run, and you'll still be really thin if you join water polo, or track, or volleyball or something where you're practicing a few times per week, but you won't have to starve yourself. You're probably a little too thin now, which won't feel too good. You will get anxiety, sleep insomnia, obsessive thoughts, etc. and you won't enjoy it. Maybe go out for a sport and keep eating with your family.

• NoStarving yourself slows down weight loss.Unless you are getting 1at least/no less 1200 calories a day, your body will go into crisis and hold on to all fat.When the fat is gone it will get its energy from muscle.Your heart is your biggest muscle which is why folks with an eating disorder die from heart failure.
• Yeah if you want to kill yourself or become ill.Sweetie: 5"5 at 112 isnt fat. Trust me.I"m 117 pounds (5"7-5"9) and you cant call me fat. You didnt need to loose weight in the first place.

• I would quit starving myself and eat things in moderation and exercise thats the best way to lose weight in my opinion but just so you know i don't think you're fat bc it doesn't sound like it so just don't worry about it im sure everybody at your school thinks you smokin ;-)
• Noooo!! That is not going to help! You will eventually put on even more than you weighed before. That is not healthy at all! The healthy way is to slowly increase your exercise and eat healthy and moderately. This does not mean starving yourself or going to bed hungry. You will become so unhealthy and it will take a toll on your body and appearance if you continue starving yourself! Eating healthy and exercising will make you look and feel better!
• No, The HEALTHY weight of an tall girl 13 is 103 - 118 lbs, so you were not fat before, your not fat now. You are just like so many young teenage girls confused about their weigh gains due to puberty, you will not keep the very slim boyish body you had before puberty. Almost all young teen girla are insecure about their weight and their body shape. This is how so many sad teens get eating disorders, become anorexic, get very sick. No hate, just be careful , your very skinny now, wake up and notice.
