Well i want to lose some weight before school starts.
Im 12, 5 feet tall and i weight 110 pounds. I wanna lose about 10-15 pounds. Well i play on heavy all the time.
I had a some diet of burning 650 calories a day. And play 45 mins to 2 hours on game mode. I dont eat much junk food cuz high cholesterol runs in my family so we dont eat junk food a lot. I drink a lot of water now i darnk about 3 bottle of water already.
My couisn is coming here as well and we are gonna swim and bike ride everyday then play DDR for as long as we can. Im gonna start to eat less. Do you think i will lose 10-15 pounds. Do you know what else i can do. Please dont say to jog cuz i hate jogging and i hate going outside with out something to ride on.

Hi Celestial, Bodybuilders who want to add bulk will do weight bearing activity. I would suggest to anyone who wants to use weights to use them properly. Injury can occur in any sport if its not done right.

Dear DDRdre I would not go by weight as much as size. You can weigh a lot and wear a tiny size if its muscle. You do not want to mess up your metabolic system by eating too little. If you are exercising vigorously as it sounds like you are..then you certainly need a good food supply for energy. Dont even think about not fueling your body.
It sounds like you are eating a healthy diet and you are young and need to continue to grow.

For those who are eating healthy and cant lose,
Check to make sure you are not eating artificial sugars which can cause weight stalls. Also make sure you get good fats in your diet like olive oil and nuts. Many people dont eat fat thinking it makes them fat..but good fat is GOOD for you.
Avoid processed foods like chips. Eat lots of good veggies.

No it does not stunt your growth. That is a myth. Caffeine can cause other problems though like anxiety, headaches, sleep disturbance and contribute to some heart problems.
However if you drink it in moderation you should be fine unless you have a sensitivity to it. No, it will not stunt your growth.

I dont know..its pretty wild. I cant see where my feet will be in all those places..but I am working on it.
Meantime sometimes it just goes to Challenge without my seeming to set it..so I have a lot to figure out on it.
