Ahhh don't worry about it TOO much... 109 lbs aint that bad.... you're still growing, so don't try to diet and kill your protein intake. Try to exercise more and eat less calories. You don't need to adapt a diet like the Atkins or some kinda huge thing, but you have to do SOMEthing if you want to change...

I am in no way encouraging you to diet, merely to exercise and watch what you eat. Read up on metabolic rates, and ask your parents and doctor to see what they think.

First of all, I think you're not fat so you don't need to lose weight but that does not mean that you should not exercise. To prevent from becoming obese (like the rest of the American public), please control your weight and keep excersizing. However, if you feel like you need to lose weight and diet, I hope this helps:

First and Best Way: Excersize!!!!!!!!!!! You need to excersize atleast 1 hour a day and I would say Running/Jogging is the best way to go about it. But personally, I hate that so I do jumping jacks, skip rope, rollerskate, and run up-and-down my stairs. Any type of rigorous, systematic movement can be considered excersize

Second Way: Reduce your intake of highly saturated fats! Stop eating those artery-clogging french fries, chicken wings, etc. It's okay to eat them once a week but don't pig out on them. If you normally order a Large Fries, then order Medium one next time.

Third Way: Reduce your intake of Meat Products. That way, you save animals and help benefit your health. It's true that meat has protein and iron, but you can get iron supplements and protein from vegeterian food. I'm not saying you should have a vegeterian diet from now on (even tho I am a vegeterian); I'm just saying you should reduce your intake of meat. So if you eat meat everyday, cut it down to three days a week.

Fourth Way: Eat your fruits and vegetables. I eat three fruits and three vegetables everyday and I think that has worked for me pretty well (I'm 100 pounds ..n no I'm not anoerexic (did I spell that right?)) Anyways, urge your parents to buy more fruit and veggies and include them in your dinner. Even if you don't want to eat as many fruits and veggies as I do, you should atleast have two fruits and two veggies in your diet EACH day. There is good vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, water, and other stuff in there that helps you lose weight.

Fifth Way: Water is a natural appetite suppressant, so developing a good water drinking habit can be a long-term aid in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Doctor F. Batmanghelidj MD, author of "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" says most times your “hunger” is your body asking for water – not food. It's also important to remember that when the body is dehydrated, fat cells get "rubbery" and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that it's harder to lose when you don't drink your water.

Anyways, those were a few options that you can try simultaneously (which is what I recommend) or one-by-one. You take care of urself and good luck with that! (but i still think your weight is okay)

well you are overwieght for your age.... so i would suggest you start an exercise program (it can be like 30 mins every other day). and eat healthy-try to cut out fatty foods like all that junk food as well as meats like chicken and pork which has a lot of fat on them. Eat a lot of fruits and drink a lot of water. Oh, and dont eat between meals-thats one of the main contributors to gaining weight.

Good luck!!

It would depend on your height and your body type.
The only way to lose weight is to burn off more calories
than you take in. In other words, exercise more, eat less....
