As I said above Im 14, gonna be fifteen in a few months, and I feel that Im a little overweight. I weigh around 160 pounds, (give or take a few) and am about 5.9 in height (five foot nine inches).
Ive been doing about 50 sit-ups a day and maybe 50 pushups every few days since probably december, and yet I feel I havent thinned out at all. What should I do?

There is no magic weight-loss pill, supplement, fad diet, or juice. The ONLY way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you burn. Brad Pitt didn’t get cut for Fight Club by drinking green tea, and you won’t either.

Walk for 30 minutes every day including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week. You don’t need additional equipment—infomercial products like the Ab Lounger, Sauna Belt, etc. are all worthless so don’t waste your money.

Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Your primary source of sustenance should be grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts and canned tuna (in water, not oil). No dairy (except low fat cottage cheese occasionally); no processed meats; no heavy sauces; no chips, cookies, sodas, breads, etc.

Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don’t starve yourself during the day, but if you don't wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.

Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important.

Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn’t almost clear, you need to drink more water.

Good luck.

according to bmi you are a little bit overweight. one thing you should do is go to
http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx
find out what sort of foods you should be eating and plan your meals. watch you calories and carbs and make sure to always have about an hour of exercise everyday. if you watch what you eat and exercise, that should definitely slim you down. learn to discipline yourself. you dont have to be perfectly toned, just lose a couple lbs.

By BMI, your weight is okay. You should focus more on toning up than on weight.
