That is sad that your family makes fun of you. Losing weight permanently means making changes. You can expect to grow taller, that will help.

1. Increase your activity level. Walk or run everywhere you go. When you're at your computer, stand, do not sit. If you watch TV, spend part of the time standing behind the couch.

2. Cut out sugar (cake, candy, pie, pop.)

3. Drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water every day.

4. Don't starve yourself. Eat small meals (less than what you would normaly put on your plate) and snacks (like a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese) and do not skip breakfast. Even if breakfast is only a handful of cherries or a glass of low-fat milk, don't skip it.

That should start the weight moving off you. Weigh yourself, if you have a scale only once a week because weight fluctuates.

Losing 60 lbs, at your age, is detrimental. REALLY REALLY bad for you.

Yes, at 160 lbs and 5'3", you're a bit overweight, however, just be a bit more active, be careful in what you eat, and most importantly, DO NOT SKIP MEALS! Starving yourself only leads to your body hoarding the fat, so it really doesn't help.

Also, you're only 11. By the time you're 16, your body will change drastically. By then time you're 21, your body will change again and again and again. So don't worry too much about weight, but try to live a healthier lifestyle.

I agree, changing your lifestyle a bit is the way to go. And being 100 at 5'3" is very very underweight. I'm 5'3 and 155. I would like to be 125. That's my goal weight. I've lost 20 already. Just by making small changes and going to the gym.

Hi. What are you doing for activity? Are you limiting your screen time to 1 hour per day? Are you totally avoiding soda, juice, gatorade, koolaid, energy drinks? Are you getting 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables? ARe you drinking 48-64 ounces of water? You can do all of those things and it will help! Good for you for wanting to change and be healthy!

The secret of losing weight is to loose calories.
I work out on stationary bicycle and burn 900+ calories in 45 minutes.
I have lost 12 kgs in 50 days with cycling and a bit of dieting.
Moreover you a teenager you will increasae your height as well.so it will have a double effect on u.
Go by what I say you will definetely succeed.u don't burn more than 500 calories.

I'm also 11 and I weight 145 LBS!! I used to weigh 165 pounds. I have changed my whole life around by eating way more healthier.. Btw, after I cut the junk food and drank and ate healthier, I lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. WITHOUT EXCERSISE!! What helped me lose, I ran everyday before school and after for 15 minutes. I joined Swimming, Skating and badminton! I did 115 crunches every night. Hope this helps!!
