am I over weight?

Whether or not your weight is appropriate for you depends on your height, not your age. Visit http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ and enter your height and weight and they will give you a good estimate of where you are.

If you are serious about loosing weight, or getting in shape try to ask your mom to buy more nutrional and low fat snacks for you. If you are surrounded by vegetables and fruit you’ll be able to snack on healthy foods rather than your typical chips and cookies.

At your age it’s relatively easy to lose “baby” fat and unwanted weight by cardio workouts such as aerobics, bicycling, running, rollerblading, etc. Try bringing a friend or two with you who will join you on the track or any other place. When you have a working out buddy you’re more likely to keep to your schedule.
