if you are five eight, you should probably be around 150-170 pounds to be average size, and lose about 20 more pounds to be skinny.

It's "lose" weight (loose means not tight). Your other spelling errors hopefully were just kid-type. As for your weight, unless you are very tall then you are obese and it's terribly unhealthy. If you can't get control of your weight soon, it just gets MUCH harder as an adult. People ask this every day here and the answer is the same... Eat right (don't diet, make a lifestyle change) Exercise That is how you lose weight and keep it off. Eating right consists of consuming fewer calories a day than you burn. Foods to focus on are lean protein, fruits and veggies (learn to like them or find some you like), whole grain products, healthy fats, and drink lots of water. Eat 4 - 6 small meals a day, and consume at least 1200 calories (go too low and it'll have negative effects). Your exercise should consist of cardio for fat burning. This could be walking briskly, jogging, aerobics, dancing, swimming, bicycling, etc (anything that gets your heart rate up and keeps it there. Also include some strength training or muscle toning exercises to not only build a little muscle (to increase your metabolism) but to help prevent flab as you drop the weight. Shoot for at least 1 hr of exercise a day, at least 5 days a week. Good luck!

Here's the National Institute of Health website to assess your risk, calculate your body mass index (yours is current 31) and tips to help you lose weight effectively and in a healthy manner. Your goal should be a BMI of 25. That is approximately a weight loss of 40 pounds.

A good, healthy weight for you would be 130lbs. I am a mother of 4 girls, one of them being a 16 year old. She has friends that are you height and build that weigh between 125-140 lbs. Please don't try fad diets. Learn to eat healthy and watch your calories. Then get physical! Start with walking or jumping rope. Youn can do it!
