I am 13 years old, 5'4'' and 100 pounds. I am currently trying to lose about 10 pounds. This is what i do:

Breakfast- Oatmeal (about 140 calories) and Skim Milk (75 calories)

Snack- Granola Bar (100 calories)

Lunch- Sandwich and Fruit (300 calories)

Snack- 1 cup of blueberries w/ Splenda (80 calories)

Dinner- Salad with eggs, cheese, meat, a little bit of dressing and chicken breast (400 calories)

Desert- Blueberries w/ Splenda (80 calories)

Exercise- 1 hour of PE (running,exercise, stretches, etc.) and 100 crunches, 50 ups per leg, and 30 pushups at home

I've been doing all that everyday for like a month, and I havent lost a single pound. Not only am I exercising and eating healthy, but Im only 13 so I naturally burn calories too. I should be losing weight, you arent I? I still look the same.

Answer:

Do you really want to lose weight? If so, the easiest is to cut out a teeny bit of your meal plan, even if it's half a granola bar. Otherwise, you can switch up your exercise to make sure you don't repeat the same routine everyday, which would result in a plateau. If you work different muscles, you will build more muscle tissue and actually burn more calories. Good luck!

It sounds like you're at a healthy weight already. Just be happy with how you are.

Chances are you're toning your muscles, or you don't have much fat mass on your body. Lucky.

You don't need to lose weight, 100lbs is probably a little too skinny for your height.

Well, I'm no expert but I think I read somewhere that you should eat a lot in the morning, less at lunch and then very little for dinner.
