Your weight sounds about right (I'm guessing you are between 5'3" and 5'5"). I wouldn't really worry about making the scale go down, just worry about toning your muscles. Walking, yoga, hiking, are all good for toning muscles. Being summer, swimming is a great option, as well. For easy year round exercise, pick something each season that you enjoy-in winter, try snowboarding or ice skating. Hiking is my favorite for spring and fall. Swimming in the summertime. If you can find a physical activity that you enjoy for each season, you'll never have to worry!
And don't forget to eat lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains!

Honestly, at this age you shouldn't be on a diet. Puberty is starting and your body is changing and it is perfectly natural to be heavier around the hips, thighs and stomach. It's hormones. Your body is getting ready to prepare for child birth in the future. Don't try to turn yourself into a stick insect. It's not healthy and chances are you'll cause more damage than you care to have over a few pounds.
It's more important that you develop a healthy self-image, not try to live up to what you see in the mags or imitate others. This may not be what you want to hear, but I cannot sit here and tell you to go on some sort of a diet with a clear conscience.

For your belly, you can do simple exercise like using a hola hoop or more tedious but very effective, sit up! For your thighs, you need to do thigh exercises like standing straight with your legs wide open, bend your knees and go into a half squat position and count to 10 before getting back to your original position. You can also try lying sideways on the floor and lift up ur legs count to 10 as well. Do that for the other side and repeat the same procedures. You'll see results in no time, simple as ABC! Good luck!

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Send me an email or yahoo instant message to "gainbetterhealth" if you want an indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have any questions.
*Click on all the source links below to get the full benefit of the recommendations. The answers presented to your health questions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
