I want to lose weight and gain a little muscle.Btw im only 11?

I weight 120 pounds and i feel like I am fat. Pls help me?
Answer:
You're supposed to have a bit of extra weight when you're that age. That extra is necessary for puberty, trust me!If you want to be healthier, eat more healthfully. Tell your parents that you want to make a food change in your life and ask them to support you. BE HEALTHY, though! None of this crash diet stuff! (My mom put me on a crash diet when I was 11...it was not a good thing.)For exercise, try jogging, walking, aerobics videos, etc. These are all safe, good things to do!
maybe run a little bit/I'd say less than 15 mi a week.other than that you might grow out of your fattness
don't lift too many weights because ive heard that lifting weights early can stunt your growth
You didn't mention your height, but 120 lbs doesn't sound like a lot. I think the smartest thing to do would be to discuss it with your parents and maybe your doctor, so they can help you determine what a healthy weight for you is. In the meantime, try to avoid the junk food. Skip the candy, chips and soda and instead eat more fruit, vegetables, and water. Do NOT try any extreme diets or excessive exercise routines, though. They will do more damage than good.
If you believe you are fat, try the natual way, excerise and eat less. By excerising you CAN gain muscles while working on lossing weight. 11 year olds are NOT fit to use diet pills, they are a pain in the butt, and can be very very very dangerous. I suggest the following:drink only water, less sugar, bike, run, jog, jumprope, or even just walk a bit. If doing something tiring blast off the music or watch tv! it takes your mind off of the pain =)
I don't know where to begin on what a dumbass "smile" is. First of all, he isn't even spelling "lose", as in lose weight correctly- shows you how much he knows about losing weight. Secondly, detox diets are bullshit. You are not toxified- there is no reason to DEtox. You are only 11 years old. You are still growing. Don't deprive your body of the nutrition you need to grow. Just watch your portions. It is too early to start lifting weights. I am a very big guy muscle wise, and I recommend you just eat healthily until you are a little older and participate in normal sports.
Weighing 120 could be considered "overweight," but it depends upon how tall you are. Many kids these days are overweight partly because they spend too much time indoors on video games and watching TV and partly because they eat too many carbohydrates (mainly sugar, fries, pastries and even white bread) and too little protein (mainly eggs, fish, poultry and meat). If this sounds like you, you can see what will help. Get out at least an hour a day and exercise, shoot some hoops, or just jog. Cut way down on the sweets ( sodas, candy, cake) and add a little more protein to the diet. I am sure this will work well for you and now is the time to start because, if you are overweight, keeping everything as it is will only make the problem get worse. Good luck!
Don't worry, cut back on your junk food, do some sit up or cruches, push ups, get out and play more, basketball, skateboarding fun things.Try to make healthier food choices.My six year old daughter is a little heavy for her age. she started doing sit ups about 3 weeks ago, now she can do 200 sit ups without stopping and she's lost a couple pounds by eating less junk food.Good luck, but don't focus on your weight to much you're young and you're going to grow a lot over the next few years.
Walking, running, swimming, bycycling, dancing. Have fun!
Good Luck.
I know you've probably heard it before, but talk to your doctor before you start severly dieting/intensely exercising. Substantial weight loss may cause problems with your reproductive development [and although you probably dont care about that now, you will later.] It also depends on your height, check your BMI by finding a BMI calculator on Google that includes your age in the results.If you want to diet, don't go on a fad-diet like low-carb or whatever, but eat sensibly and include all the food groups and try to cut out junk food. Remember: moderation! Drink lots of water to keep hydrated. Cutting calories isnt a good idea either, and your body DOES need a certian amount of fat intake.If after you talk to your doctor and they okay it, you could try weights or just things like situps and pushups. You have to remember, though, that if you're thinking you want to lose weight and gain muscle, muscle actually weighs more than fat, so keep that in mind. Measuring the areas you want to tone can help you gain perspective on this.
110 isn't fat unless you're like 4'1". I'm gonna assume you're about 5'6" or so. Don't worry about a diet just yet. Tone up. Go to WalMart and get a small set of weights. Get a bench set if you have the room. Start low...around 10 or 15 pounds, and do some curls and tricep extentions with the dumbells. 3 sets of 10. Put a little more weight in a couple of weeks. The key is to go slow. Too much too fast and you could hurt something. Leg lifts and bench press.. you can start a bit higher on the weight, but something easy enough that you aren't straining...yet. That comes later. Work a different part of your body each day, but not all parts every day. Maybe legs and back on Tues and Thurs. Upper body Mon, Wed, Fri. Saturday you might give the whole thing a quick shot of 2 sets then rest on Sunday. Eat good, throw in a walk around a block or two, stay away from cookies and stuff. Drink lots of water and take your vitamens.
You are pretty young.. How about to try a sport seriously.. I think this will be you best bet..
Eat/Drink enough protein..No junk food..Goof Luck
