I went to my local Walgreens and bought the Alli starter kit thing. I was reading the label, and it said “18 or older adults” but nowhere did it say it was/wasn’t good for younger teens. Any help?

Hi There – There is a community for teens on a healthy lifestyle and it has many helpful tools on there such as calorie counters, teen groups to join, exercises, workout programs, and weight loss experts. This site also has other people your age that are asking the same questions and facing the same challenges that you are experiencing. www.sparkteens.com Hope this helps!

I want to lose some weight. I am 13 and I really want to lose like 10 pounds. I am not that active so I know if I just get outside and run around it will help. But how do I like get abs and stuff? And like get rid of extra fat?

Well the obvious would be to exercise and eat healthy, which I really do recommend. The more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism and the more calories you burn by even doing nothing! Go out for a jog, do some crunches, but make sure you keep it consistent. Set a specific and realistic goal or yourself. Also, make an effort to eat more fruits and vegetables and cut out extra fats and sugars. I promise you this is the most effective way. Plus, by having a healthy routine now, you are more likely to have a great body when you are older!

And please, don't go on a diet/starve yourself hun!
It won't work.
Good luck girl!

I don't want to start a diet if it's unsafe, but i want to lose weight. Can you help?

alexa, just my opinion ,,ok? first, understand what you are eating! if you must have junk foods,, eat some but important Push the Plate away after 1/2 is gone,, dieting is not healthy, just realize who you are,, what you want to weigh and be careful… to me thats the best way to lose weight and keep weight normal… goodluck
