I'm a female. 15 years old this year and I'm 62 inches tall and I weigh 114.4lbs. I have lost 13.2lbs for the past 3 months but I can't seem to get rid of the excess fats on my waist and arms. I have a bad back so I can't do crunches and sit ups. Does anyone have any tips?

the only way to get rid of fat is overall weight loss because we cant choose which body parts to lose the weight off.
sit ups and crunches will only make your belly look bigger since there is gona be more muscle underneath the layer of fat.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Try a girdle for the waist. Walk with your stomach sucked in so that your muscles can tighten. For the arms, some arm weights would help.

Cut back on your sugars and carbs for a while!!! Eat more protein and less carbs and sugars... you can only have a certain amount of carbs before your body starts storing the extra carbs in fat...

you can't really target fat, your better off taking a holistic approach to losing fat as opposed to working out certain trouble area
