Losing weight at a young age?

I’m 14 and I want to lose 7 pounds I’m 5’6 and weigh 117 pounds. I play volleyball almost everyday and I’m athletic too. Do I need to lose the weight or am I okay to stay the same? Please help me! Thanks a ton!

Answer #1

At 5’6’’ your weight is fairly decent. if you do lose weight, it’d be from the physical activity, but after a while, you will gain muscle, and stay about the same weight. so i would just do what you are doing now, and don’t worry about your weight. best of luck:) homestar_runner3

Answer #2

I would say you don’t need to lose the weight, given your height, age, and level of physical activity.

Answer #3

Heres what you do. You work hard at it. Push yourself to better foods. And excersize a wee bit more. Maybe your body is sick of volleyball. And it needs to run or something different. When you see junk food, “Nope, I’m not leting you come in.” And walk away from it or turn around. I mean keep your blood sugar a little below average. Even when your young like me, 11 years old. I am trying to do it too. I know, its tough. But when you’ve accomplished your mission and goals, trust me, it’ll all be worth it!!
