How does a teenager lose weight?

how does a teenager loose weight. I mean I have tried everything and nothing seems to be working.

You dont need to lose weight.

first off, DONT GO DIETING!! diets DO NOT work! they may help you lose weight, but after your diet, you will simply gain it all back!! the most important thing is to drink at least eight 6 oz glasses of water a day!! also, make sure you eat breakfast! many teens today dont have time to eat breakfast. but what they do not know, is that your body needs nutrition after waking up, and the more you put it off, the more fat it will take out of your later meals. other than that, make sure to get excersize (maybe walk or run 4 days a week, 20 minutes a day) and eat right! cut out crap foods, and I can guaruntee you will see results in the next few weeks!

there is a different between losing weight and being in shape...

I no that . . . and I am pretty active I mean I play basket ball 3 times a week and gymnastics once . but I have a chubby stomach that doesn't seem to go away and I have theese pills that just make cravings worse !

what kind of pills?/ also, crunches are an EXCELLENT way of getting rid of extra tummy fat.

just pills.. and ok thanks

your 13 your still goin through puberty don't worrie your not fat your body is just maturing so your getting bigger hips and boobs and a butt it's a fact of life

it depends really theres loads of ways you dont know of
