I am starting to eat healthier and excercising more but not really making much of a difference. any ideas? and i know this doesnt have a ton to do with puberty...

you should not expect immediate results if you have only recently started exercising and eating healthier. if you are worried about it, maybe you should diet? but you should see a doctor first to point you in the right diection as far as dieting goes. hope this helps.

umm just keep working out
make sure you run around your block a couple times and day and you should see huge results in at the most maybe 6 months

The first thing you should do is stop drinking sodas and any kind of junk food that you know isn't good for you. That alone without doing anything else can get a some weight off. Then start walking daily for about 45 minutes to an hour. Being committed to that can get a good amount of weight off already. As you're more comfortable you can do more rigorous workouts like running/sprinting.

You should then start eating better and adding fruits and vegitables to your diet. Avoid lots of breads and eat wheat only. Make sure you eat 3 meals a day otherwise your metabolism will get knocked out of whack.

More importantly you need patience. Losing weight is going to take time but you need the motivation to do it. You have to want it badly to be skinner. It's not going to happen overnight. Starving yourself will only cause you to gain weight in the end so don't even try it.

Good luck and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. I'm willing to help.

also dont eat 3 hours before you go to bed bcuz your body digests food when you are active and when you are sleeping you are not active therefore the food has no where to go and you get bigger

[Maverick]

That's not true. It's more of a myth. It's what you eat before you go to bed that matters. If it's healthy food you'll be fine. If you eat a huge slice a pizza then it's a different story.

well you kind of get the drift
