1. do alot of walking or jogging, and reduce your calories to around 1200 cals a day. don't eat fats, and dont eat too many carbs (corn, breads, sugars).
2. ummmm..... thats to skinny SORRY!!!!!!!!! IT HAD TO BE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. i advise you to drink green tea 1-3 glasses per day green tea speeds up your metabolism drink lots and lots of water 8 glasses each day. do not snack go on the half off diet only eat half of what you would usually eat and give or throw the rest away if you are really hungry and you've had all your daily meals snack on fruits ( oranges, apples, bananas ) exercise more try and run for at least 30 minutes a day get more active get more sleep it prepares your body stretch, yes it works and it doesn't just help you lose weight it helps with you're growing to make you a little taller count your calories try to stay under the amount of 1300 calories per day change you're lifestyle it makes a difference do not eat candy or chips eat more greens or protein bars avoid fast food and cut out fried food when you cook your meal oven cook your food do not fry it chew gum because when you chew gum you do not pick at food for example if theres some chips in you're cupboard you go to them a think good damn they look good then you would say no i cant pick at them because i dont wanna throw my gum away do not eat after 6pm because before 6pm you can burn all you're food off and if you eat after six it will lay on you're stomach as you eat. do not eat before you go to sleep drink a glass of water before you go to sleep eat spicy food, if you can because it speeds up you're metabolism do not weigh you're self everyday because it torments you,weight you're self once a week ( every Monday ) good luck! you can safley lose 2 to 3 lbs. a week stomache exercise=Lie on the floor, legs straight out, hands at your sides. Lift your legs straight up (not bending your knees at all) until they're at a 90 degree angle (or close). Lower your legs and repeat without letting your legs touch the floor. For more challenge there is equipment at most gyms that will allow you to raise yourself up using your arms as support and dangle your legs. You can perform leg lifts there too. If you're using this piece of equipment, you can make it easier by just raising your knees to your chest. It's more difficult to raise your legs to a horizontal position with your legs straight. This helps firm up the lower abdomen. If you're truly a monster, try doing leg lifts with a medicine ball hanging from your feet. Or hang from a pull up bar and raise your legs in front of you all the way up to the bar. 40 lbs. is a lot for you to lose. I think you are at a good weight right now!
4. you're 12, let your body form a little bit before you try to shape it....you haven't even given your body a chance to develop...
5. if you lose 40 pounds that will be too skinny and it will look ugly sorry to say you are fie just how you are http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080521131234AAWAL0A&r=w
6. It seems like your weigh goals are too low. However, to lose weight running is always good, and so are stair exercises
7. Ive lost weight by cutting out "sugar". I read all my food labels and i eat anything that have less than 10g. Dont drink alcohol during the week. Work out 4-5 days a week. 40mins or more... stay at 1200 calories a day. veggies and drink 4 liters of water. Stay away from "FRIED" food
