Do you think this is a good idea?

So, I was talking to my Dad this morning and he said that I should start loosing my weight when I’m young and so that I can get a fresh start for the beginning of the next school year. (I’m 12 and female by the way lol.) He also mentioned to me like loosing about 70 altogether which would be 7 pounds a month. Do you think this is a good idea? Any advice? And if I lost the 70 pounds I’d probably be around 130 pounds. I’m 5’6. And I’m too scared to weight myself now because its probably too much haha I was think I’m probably over 200. :/

Answer #1

you would feel a lot better about yourself if you lost the weight. exercise boosts confidence and helps get rid of stress. I think its a great idea.

Answer #2

I WILL TELL YOU NOW, DO IT WHILE YOU ARE YOUNGER as you get older it is much harder to maintain and find the time to work out. you will feel so much better and decrease your chance of health issues, the sooner the better. please don’t get crazy about it, I hate when young women type on here “ I am I too fat” BE HEALTHY AND STAY THAT WAY. eat and eat good food. stay away form the fast stuff it does catch up to you. And yes 7 lbs in four weeks is a good idea and a good goal. it may happen quick and then slow down but keep it up, Weight Watchers is a very good choice also. I joined and lost 17 lbs in about 4 wks. some weeks I lost 6lbs and some only 2 or none, but keep truckin

Answer #3

I agree, it is much harder to lose the weight as you get older and it shouldnt be too hard for you to lose that much weight, just keep your goal in sight and you will feel a lot better about yourself and it will help you out self consciously in the future, I honestly don’t think it was mean of your dad to tell you about your weight. He wants you to be healthy and to be able to love your body, sounds like he could be a great asset to you with being able to help support you through this! Good luck!

Answer #4

Answer #8
