How do I lose weight, without my parents knowing about it?
I’m 14 years old, 5’7, and 136 pounds and I think I’m ready to lose some of that winter weight. Any tips on how I could do this without going on a diet and without my parents being involved or knowing? I’m very flabby around the stomach and hip area so any workout’s you know that specifically target those areas would really help. Thank-you!

You sound pretty normal, but if you wish to become more active and fit, that’s always ok. Apparently they know most of what you eat, so that’s good, it’s probably pretty healthy! You shouldn’t cut back on regular food..you’re probably still growing and need it, but if you drink sodas and snack on little debbies you might stop that. Any exercises you do will be good for you..do something you enjoy! Or just go play…that’s what I did when I was that age..jump rope, basketball, tag……..stay away from TV to excess, you’re not just sitting still, it actually has an effect on your heart rate and breathing.

At your height, you don’t need to lose much weight. Most people at 5’7 should be around that weight, but the flabby areas might signify that you have a higher percentage of fat than muscle weight. Muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less space.
In that case, you can lose about 5 lbs or so by making tiny changes in your food habits. Instead of dieting, try exchanging junk foods for healthier ones. At the same time, you need to be doing weight lifting and resistance exercises to gain muscle, which will help you stay at a healthy weight without looking flabby.
You can look these up online.
Try these type exercises for 30 minutes to an hour, 3 times a week.

Your BMI has been calculated as 20.72 using a height of 5′ 7″ and a weight of 9 stones 7.00lbs . (156lbs) or 61.36 kilo.
Your BMI suggests you are a healthy weight for your height
You are at least risk of developing weight-related medical problems. Your health may not necessarily benefit from further weight loss. It is important not to aim to go below this range.
If you want to tone up go and see you school fitness instructor I am sure He/she will be glad to help.
