You are too young to need to lose weight. Talk to your parents and tell them that you are worried about your weight and you want to start eating better and exercising. Then start making better choices and at the very least, start walking or riding your bike. Don't worry about speed here, that's not healthy.
And by the way, it's perfectly normal for a young woman to pack on a few extra pounds around the time that puberty hits. You may actually grow out of it as your body settles into adult-hood. Just be happy with who you are.

Weeelll, one time, when I was about 15 or 16, I did that Atkins diet.
I have to admit, it did work...
I lost nearly 40 pounds... One thing, however, I did notice that it worked better on men than women... My parents and I did the diet together, and my dad lost more weight than I did, but my mom didn't lose so much weight. She lost a good amount though...
The problem with the diet was that it's kinda hard to sustain.
You have to change the way you eat, as you do with every diet, but its not jsut that, it's more like a lifestyle change...
I believe, it went like this. For the first 2 weeks, you stay under 20 carbs a day, then, after that, it was something like 50 carbs a day.... I don't really remember, but you should look it up.
This was a few years ago.
Also, there's no replacement for exercise...

Dear Alyssa,
You are going to get lots of information about diets and quick loss, etc... You need to do one thing, honey, Don't do anything before you see your doctor. I know at 13 you think it's dumb or embarrassing to see your pediatrician, but that is the best source of informtion for a diet for you. The main reason? You're a child. Your body is still growing and developing and you need certain things in your diet that most weight loss diets for adults call for. Very little case studying has been done on certain diets, like South Beach or other bottled diets. People mean well, but your doctor is the best one to ask about what is right for you. Besides, you may need some blood tests done before you do anything, you can't get that here. See what I mean? One thing to remember also is, you didn't put on all the extra weight you may want to take off in a couple weeks, so don't expect to lose weight that fast. Eat less, exercise more. See your doctor first. Be well and enjoy yourself!
Regards,
Raylene♥

i lost 14 pounds on the weight watcher flex plan diet. and i still am loosing it and i am able to eat what i want. The way it works is you get certain amout of points per day and each food is worth a certain amount of points. for instance a sandwich is 5 points if you use low fat cheese low fat bread and regular sandwich meat. to find out how much each food is they give you a card or you can buy the calulater which makes it so easy to find out how much points a food is. You put in the calories the total fat the dietary fiber and then it will tell you how many points the food is. i am able to have 24 points per day. i lost weight with this i probably would have lost more weight but bc i do not excersise that much bc of school and my children but still i lost 14 points in a couple of weeks.

If you are 13, you do not need to worry about your weight. If you are exercising as much as you say you are, most of your weight is going to be muscle, which weighs more then fat. Society says you should look one way, but not everyone body listens to society. You shouldn't either. If you are a cheerleader, and having fun with your friends, enjoy that. Enjoy eating all the things teens should enjoy and have fun. Life is too short to worry about what others think you should look like.

Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic index and load. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way we have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.
Find out about fastest way to lose weight, gradual ways to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad carbs and anti-water. Lose bodyfat and retained water which also makes you a lot fatter (bloated). Most important-- make sure to read the last "fat loss tip", first before anything else, to see the number one food that causes Americans to be fat.

Weight loss tips
Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.
* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.
* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.
* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.
* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.
* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.
* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.
* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.
* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!
* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

I think a good starting point is multiplying the weight you want to be at by 10 and that's how many calories you should intake a day. Exercise is always a must of course.

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !
P.S
Regular active exercise is advised with all weight loosing medicines and remedies :-) Take care
