NEVER feel ugly! you are beautiful! make sure you eat, BUT eat the RIGHT things (fruits and veggies and portion control is a big part of this). Stay away from sugar, carbs (NO cheese, no ...See more pasta, no bread), no dairy. Eat things like oatmeal in the morning and add some blueberries or strawberries. I know if you aren’t used to this it will be harder then what it looks. Lose weight for you and when you look in the mirror tell the old you that you are moving on and breaking up! it sounds silly but maybe this will motivate you to stick with your goal. also weigh yourself one time every week, not everyday. We women change weight frequently at least 5lbs a day and we are 5 to 10lbs water weight. Best of luck and stay motivated. Try to go out for walks with a friend or take your dog out for a walk (try to do a few blocks and build up…make it a fast walk). Also any kind of cardio will help you lose weight all over and ease into cardio…it doesn’t matter if you took 20 minutes to run a mile or 7 minutes to run 1 mile, the point is that you did it. You can do this!!!!! keep your head up!

Megan Buffier :
Hey, i am also 14 years old & i weigh 90 kg. Yes i completely agree it is hard, but the big problem i find that you have with loosing weight is that you are ...See more starving yourself and therefore your body is going into starvation mode and will hold on to as much fat as it can to survive. But then also the problem if you eat to much after that it will hold on to it for longer and increase your weight. This can be a hard cycle to get out of but you can do it! :) For 14 year old’s our daily intake (amount of calories) we can have is 1800 calories. I strongly suggest to have only 1200 calories or just over. But also if you eat less calories than this your body will again go into starvation mode. One EASY way to keep track of your daily calorie intake is an app that you can use on an Iphone, Ipod or Ipad which you can keep track of the foods you eat. It has every food with a bar code on it in the app so you can scan a packet and it will identify the food or you can also use the quick calorie add if you know how many calories are in it + you can search foods. This app is called ‘my fitness pal’ and i use it myself. I have been using it for about a week now and i have already lost 2 kg. I hope this has helped. :)
