diet is a disgusting word. girls or boys, men and women think that diets are amazing. really?no. im 12 years old and my teacher is teaching me that diets are awful. diets are pretty much like abusing your diet. dont go on a diet. just eat the same but smaller amounts. have plenty of water and exercise 60 minutes a day. 20-30 minutes wont do it because your body wont burn any fat until youre over 30 minutes. im over weight and i know how all of you feel. try it out. challenge; stop drinking soda.

@Responsibility1011 HEy there! I would say your just slightly over weight. A lot depends on how tall you are. I’m 5 foot 4 inches and 129 pounds. So if you are taller you should prob be around 135 or 140

Yes you are extremely overweight. Im 5’4 120lbs. Even I feel overweight haha. Don’t waste your time in a gym, I tried it and got 0 results going everyday. Just do good ol fashioned pushups and situps.
