A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Is your weight loss from vomiting? Or were you already losing weight before you found out you were pregnant? I lost 20 pounds in less than 2 weeks in the beginning of my pregnancy...I couldn't even keep fluids down. It got to the point that I had to be hospitalized and had a PICC line put in, was on TPN and lipids and a zofran pump for several months. Losing some weight is normal, but it sounds like you're losing it a little too quickly. Talk to your doctor about it, they'll probably start by giving you something for nausea. If you continue vomiting and losing weight even with that (like I did), then they'll take further steps. I hope you're feeling better soon, I know how much it sucks. Good luck.

if you're 5' 2" and 124, I don't think you need to lose weight, especially if you're 15.

That said, for those who do want to lose weight, eat right, get plenty of sleep, and exercise.

Let me give you an example. A few years ago, my best friend and myself both lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks by playing basketball twice each week for two hours or so each time. I wasn't even eating sensibly then (and neither was he), but we were just burning so many calories we lost 25 lbs each (then I broke my ankle and gained most of it back, before I got back to playing again), lol

Hope this helps.

salad and exercise.
salad = don't put on fatty dressing. Try just using vinegar or lemon juice. Also, lettuce and celery have a very low calorie content (celery actually has negative-calories), so try to fill up on that.
Don't forget exercise. Try taking a long walk, riding your bike, or kickboxing.

and remember -- results don't happen overnight. typical weight loss is 2-5 pounds a month. (That's alot. Measure out that much in flour and you'll see what I mean.)

good luck!

Try to strive for being healthy instead of skinny. Find something fun to do for an exercise, like dance, tennis, biking, skating, etc. Stop drinking soda pop and eat less if you eat a lot.
