Answer #1

If you’re dad says you don’t need to lose weight, you should listen to him. 115lbs for a 13 year old is the perfect size anyway. Don’t worry, you are young and you’re body is still changing. Just stay HEALTHY and you’ll be fine.

Answer #2

I don’t think you really have anything to worry about, but if you do want to lose weight there are simple things you can do. Don’t cut carbs, you need energy and your primary source is carbs. Try to eat a little more protein such as lean beef or fish. The last thing you can do is stop eating chips, candy and to stop drinking soda and quench your thirst with water. Also stay away from juices that do not contain much real juice and contains a lot of sugar. I stopped eating junk and drinking soda when I was 15 and I lost weight and became a model, so these tips will probably work for you.
