Answer 1

You mention that you're working out, but how are you eating? Are you eating "healthy"? See if you can arrange a doctor's appointment so you can discuss with your doctor how you're feeling about your body and also discuss maybe a healthy "diet" that you could get started on. Less carbs, more proteins (meats, fish) can also help you lean up a bit. But I'm no doctor, so definitely consult yours.

Keep in mind that sometimes we don't have control over how our bodies react to food. Some people have faster metabolism than others because of their genes.

I used to be one of the "bigger" girls in high school. I would always envy those girls that were skinnier, but they were all superficial and the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to be associated with them. I was able to find friends who liked me for me, not how I looked. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As I got older, the weight started to drop. I wasn't doing anything differently, but I guess my metabolism shifted a bit.

So don't think that being skinny is such a great thing. Just because someone may be skinny doesn't make them a better person. I bet you're a great person inside and you just need to let your personality shine! Find friends who share the same interest as you and like you for you! Those are the only friends worth keeping anyways! =)

You are quite overweight. I'm almost 5'5 and I weigh 30 pounds less than you... and am 4 years older. It takes a lot of hard work to lose weight, but you'll benefit from it in the long run. You're only 14, you should do something about it now before it's too late. I know a girl who was the same at your age... and now she's over 300 pounds. If you have supportive parents maybe you can talk to them and have them sign you up to a gym or go to a nutritionist. Join a school team if you're able to, and you'll lose weight then. Eat less, exercise more. If you stop drinking sugary drinks like soda, you'll lose weight quickly too. That's what I did when I wanted to lose a few pounds, and it worked. I started drinking a lot of water, walking every day, doing little workouts, and cut back on what I ate. That's what you need to do. Each time you step on the scale and see that you've lost another few pounds, it gives you the motivation you need to keep going. When you put on a pair of jeans and it isn't tight, but increasingly baggy, you'll feel yet again motivated. Before you know it, with all that hard work and time, you'll feel like you fit in and you won't be envious of the "twiggy girls". Good luck.

Oh I just reread your question and you say you are working out at the gym 3 times a work. Keep it up! Just be sure to cut back on your food intake as well, because if you're still eating the same (too much) then it pretty much ruins all the hard work you're putting in at the gym.

Answer 3

If you are really that worried about how you look, there is not much to be done. you should stop eating and start using crack.

of course it would be much healthier to just stop worrying about it and maybe date a really hot really sweet guy (or girl) for a while. Nothing will make you feel better than that.
on the other hand, if you are really overweight, and i mean seriously, not just fishing for compliments, you may want to consider the possibility that you may need to go to the gym 7 times a week and increase the intensity of your routine. You could pick up dance, or other fast pased sport. (By the way, sex is my personal favorite sport, it is fast pased and if you have enough of it, it will keep you in shape. This works best with my advice about the hot partner)

Answer 4

There is no one right physical body type. We are all different or it would be a very boring world. If you are healthy and if your doctor says you are healthy, then just be yourself. If you enjoy the workouts, increase them to 5 times a week and be sure to include aerobic exercise as part of your regimen for at least 30 mins of those workouts. We all have to find our niche in this world and you will do that. Remember, no one looks the way they did at 14 as they do at 24, 34, ect. Your body has a lot of changing to do and if you stay healthy, it will reward you. It is hard to realize this at 14, but trust me it will happen.

Answer 5

Make sure your eating good foods, because I'm 12, 5'3 and around 95 pounds. But I play lots of sports and do triatholons. So anyways make sure your eating well and don't go and exericse then when you get home pig out on a lot of food. Do you run at school? If not then maybe make it 4 times a week for exercising.

Answer 6

That depends on your body type. My ex was 4'5" when she was 16 and was a little bigger than most but not fat necessarily... just seriously not built as the thin sluts at school today. She had, as some people say: meat on her bones. She was absolutely beautiful. I've never found those skinny girls all that attractive. Weighing that much is conserdered over-weight... but the over-weight classification doesn't take in your body type.

As I said... my girlfriend was built wider and therefore was technically over weight for her height. But I swear to god she was gorgeous. You just have to know how to wear it.

Answer 7

You know what buddy, you are who you are forget everybody else and what they think, Take your time stop eating junk food build a self confidence about your self and trust me theres nothing you can't do. You can walk up to the hottest girl you see and say hello, you know what will happen...you'll get a new friend every guy is intimadated by the "hottest girl" its easy just do it and then you'll feel better about yourself and you can keep on working out.And gain more and more friends, Because you are the man. Good luck buddy.

Answer 8

You are so young to think this way. The first thing to do is that don't compare yourself to others. Just keep up working out. lastly its better to be strong than look like a twig come on now. i hope that helps.

Answer 9

If they had been comfortable with their lifestyles then they could now not have the time to be unkind to others. They are simply insecure themselves and looking to make themselves suppose greater via choosing on anybody else. If you'll shrug your shoulders and forget about them it could imply that they had been getting no pride and could then stop. For your possess advantage it probably valued at practicing a couple of jokey placed downs. My daughter used to be bullied for approximately 18 months and we practiced at dwelling ie; very humorous, how shrewd - now not heard that one and many others. She additionally had a couple of well peers who could spice up her up. She additionally slightly obese, wears glasses and many others. She is equipped to manage feedback now, even though she could say that they nonetheless can harm oftentimes.

Answer 10

It's AWESOME that you're working out. Keep that up!
Make sure you do plenty of cardio though (running, walking, etc).
Weights are great, but cardio will get the fat off.
Also, make sure you don't eat too many carbs.
Rule of thumb: Try not to eat anything with over 10g of carbs.
Hope I helped.
Let me know if you have any more questions, okay?
Good luck!
