I weigh 155 pounds as a freshman in high school. Is that normal? What can I do to lose weight?


Answer:
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.
exercise 3-5 days a week
6 glasses of water a day
No Juice, No Pop
Milk is ok; but drink 1% or no fat/skim
No Pizza, No chips, no fast food
Eat from all food groups, but in moderation
Put all your meals on a small plate instead of a large one, you will cut down on calories this way.If you need to snack at night try popcorn (lower in calories than chips) or try fruit.
----------------------It really depends on your height to know if you are overweight.
You'd have to be taller than 5'7'' to not be considered overweight. You can calculate your bmi here to find a correct weight for your height:

it depends on how tall you are if your short then yea ur over weight, just watch what you eat and exercise
It depends how tall you are, your metabolism, and your bone size(like petite, medium, and large) those are things you cant help. But if you really wanted to lose weight I would run!
