You could also be building muscle, not gaining fat. And you really shouldn't go by scales. We all weigh different in the morning and in the evening. Go by your clothes, if they are getting tight then you need to work out more.

Answer 2

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.

It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.

Good LUCK!

Answer 3

You sound like you are an athlete. And it totally makes sense that you are gaining weight. But you are more than likely gaining muscle because of your sports and workouts. It doesnt mean you're getting fat it means your muscles are getting stronger. Muscles weighes more than fat. And also remember that you are a growing young lady so that has a lot to do with what you weigh as well. As you get taller and your bones stretch, they start getting heavier too. Dont worry. Just eat right, keep on working out and being active like you are, and you should be on your way to growing up strong and healthy.

Answer 4

maybe, because you're growing??? haha but yea, what you should do is eat little small snacks every few hours instead of big meals. Because, if you eat small snacks(carbs, fruits, etc..) you'll burn it as energy when you work out/play volley ball. Of course, stay away from all the junk food and fast food. But, that doesnt mean to stop eating them. You coudl still eat them but not as much. Just watch what you eat and dont eat lots of big meals. Every now and then is cool. Well, good luck
