But it's not that bad. You may need only to lose (at most) 10 pounds, but at 12, I wouldn't worry too much, as when puberty kicks in, it could disappear

For a 12 old I know it seems very hard, but you can loose the weight. You have to be very discipline. Try to cut your television watching and do some walking for the exercise part. For the eating; no sodas, big mac etc. Have your parents take you to the doctor to check up on your thyroid glands. Sometimes, you become overweight because they are not functioning probably.

Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. 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 load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.
Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).
You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.

At you age you really shouldn't be worrying about your age. Just try to eat healthily in normal size portions and take up some more sport maybe walk around the block every morning. At 12 weight shouldn't be what you are worried about

I'm a 6'1 160 lb football player. we have a lifting coach who tells us advice on this kind of stuff. Know whether you are overweight or somewhat obese. If it's just overweightness, it's not necessarily a bad thing. If there's that little bit of fat that you are trying to get rid of, do ab work everyday. sit ups,V-crunches(lying face up, bring hands and feet over body, touch toes) and/or 'bows and toes(lying face down, support your body using your elbows and toes for 30 sec. roughly). some of those may be a little extreme however.

eating healthy is a great way to start losing weight. excercizing is really important so if you want to lose weight you should excercize. u coule go on a diet like weight watchers but your too young. i suggest eating healthily and motivating urself in a way. like you could make a chart and if you eat no junk food for a week, you'll get to rent a movie or go to your fave restaurant
trust me -- you will c the difference!!

I am 100 pounds and 13 years old. I am 5'6 and my friends call me anrexic which isn't any better. Eat healthy, exercise, and don't be as skinny as me or you will have the same type of problem.
