i need help losing belly fat!!! nothings working. please help!!?
i’ve gotten a WHOLE bunch of tips from yahoo answers on how to get rid of my belly fat and nothing seems to be working. Im 13 yrs old and im 5 feet, 3 inches, and i weigh 115 lbs and i have some belly fat that none of my friends have that reeeeally bugs me and it really brings down my self-esteem. i know lots of people tell me that im perfectly normal and that im not overweight. I also know that i come from a long line of curvy woman from my moms side, what i mean is their not exactly twigs. Currently this is what im doing to get rid of the fat:
Breakfast: yoplait yogurt or healthy cereal
Lunch: either turkey and mayo sandwich or peanut butter sandwich with apple slices or grapes or watermelon
dinner: whatever my mom makes with is usually meat and veggies but sometimes pizza or somthing
for a snack i usually have fruit or a granola bar, somtimes i cant resist the cravings so i have a handful of m&ms or some cookies but not toooo many calories. For a workout i do jacknives, crunches, ab twists, and leg lifts in 3 sessions every day, in the fall im going to join the school soccer team and practice is everyday after school for 2 hours.
So will i lose the fat? or is there nothing i can do about it and its just baby fat and ill grow out of it over time? pleas i really need some help!! thanks!

It’s probably just baby fat. But only have the Peanut butter sandwich once or twice a week since it’s really fattening. And most pizza is really fattening and has lots of cholestrol. So it really isnt healthy for you at all.
Besides doing only crunches, you should also throw in some pushups, and a lot of cardio. It’ll really help tone your whole body.
If you want, you should ask your mom to buy you some Apex bars. They sell them at the gym I go too, so they’re pretty healthy. They come in lots of flavors, like Chocolate peanut butter. (only 4 grams of fat and 160 calories, yeah!) haha, so good luck!
sounds like you are doing everything right, which can be frustrating! but when you get on the soccer team you will slim down a little. also remember that you are 13 and that Your body is still growing, so it is important to make sure it gets the right nutrition.
everything will work out:)
Here are some outstanding tips for you to follow:
1. Set Goals
Simply saying you want to lose weight is not enough. Instead, set three specific short- and long-term goals that you’d like to achieve. For example, a short-term goal could be, “I want to go down two dress sizes by February 14th,” while a long-term goal would be “I want to lose 15 lb of fat in six months.”
2. Take a “Before” Picture
Take a picture of yourself in a bathing suit or sports bra and shorts. When you look at yourself every day in the mirror you tend not to notice changes in your body. Having a picture allows you to better see results and it’s a great motivator.
3. Measure Your Progress
Don’t just rely on the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat so you may not see a change on the scale but your clothes will feel different. Take your base measurements and then re-take them on a regular basis. You cannot measure your progress if you don’t know where you started from.
4. Be a Joiner
Getting a gym membership is often not the best solution for getting in shape. Too many people buy a membership but then don’t actually go on a regular basis because there’s no structure, accountability or group support and personal trainers are costly. Instead, join a fitness boot camp, exercise class or other fitness program (try the Wish 20-Minute Shape-Up Club) where you’ll have a set time and workout plan done for you. Bonus: You will learn proper form and technique, plus you’ll meet people with similar goals that can give you support.
5. Flex Your Muscles
Don’t just do cardio! Strength training is an essential part of any fitness routine. It will build your muscle and increase your bone density. Not to mention, for every pound of muscle you gain, you speed up your metabolism, which means you increase the rate at which you burn fat. We recommend strength training one to three times a week.
6. Start Your Day Off Right
It’s easy to come up with excuses for why you can’t work out when you’re busy, so be sure to book exercise time in your calendar and don’t double-book. We recommend working out first thing in the morning so that there are less excuses to get in the way of your goals.
7. Rest Up
Make sure you get 7-9 hours of deep sleep each night. Studies have shown that people who don’t get enough sleep have a tendency to overeat and are more susceptible to weight gain. Also, be sure to give your muscles a break by taking at least one or two days off from exercising each week.
8. Reward Yourself Weekly
If you eat healthy all week, allow yourself a cheat day to eat whatever you want. Knowing that you don’t have to completely deprive yourself of foods you love will keep you motivated.
9. Change Your Eating Habits
Instead of three big meals a day, opt for five or six smaller ones instead. Your body needs fuel every three to four hours, which also speeds up your metabolism so you are burning more calories throughout the day. Be sure to include protein (eggs, cottage cheese, chicken, fish), low glycemic carbs (brown rice, fruits, lentils, quinoa) and fibrous vegetables.
10. Eliminate Processed Sugars
Processed sugars are carbs that have been stripped of valuable nutrients. How can you identify these sugars? They are all white: table sugar, pasta, rice, and bread. Look for alternatives that provide a nutrition boost. Try honey in place of sugar and go for whole-wheat pasta, rice and bread.
