Reply With QuoteMy suggestion would be to stick with a healthy diet with balanced meals. At your age you don't want to start dieting. Start doing some cardio and resistance training and combined with a healthy diet you will get the look that you desire.

Best diet/exercise plan for me?
I would appreciate your suggestions on what I should do as far as diet and exercise for the results I want.
I am female, 15 years old. I'm 5'3.5", 118 lbs, which I know is a very good weight, and for the most part I'm happy with myself. I do, however, have a bottom that is big and fatty, as well as my upper thighs. I would like to lose fat around this area, both for my self image as well as fitting into clothes. I have a rather good diet already; I watch my calorie and fat intake and eat as many whole grains, fruit and vegetables as I can. However, I get little to no exercise, which I know I need to start doing, but I want exercise that will target the areas I want to improve. I know there's no "spot reducing" but is there a diet/exercise combination that would give me the best results for what I want? I am not worried about being particularly muscular, or losing fat around other areas, though I'd like to be a big stronger in the arms also.
Thanks!

but Jodi.. i don't find that just eating healthy and lifting weights along with cardio gives me a very good body...
It took me about 2-3 months of restrciting calories(along with 1-2 cheat days/week) and upping the cardio before getting the physique that everyone comments on.
However, i never seem to be satisfied with myself. Even now at 8 or 9%(in pic) I keep thinking, damn my abs can better, i can be leaner.

Oh My!
That's certainly not well balanced meals
You should focus on getting lean protein, complex carbs, healthy fats and fruits and veggies in all your meals.
I don't see any good protein, complex carbs, healthy fats, veggies in any meals. The apple is good but the rest needs some work.
Check out the stickies - there is a shopping list in there. I would also suggest adding some dairy into your diet like milk, lf cheeses, yogurt, cottage cheese. etc...

I have all those things on a normal day, honestly. Usually for dinner chicken, lean beef, maybe turkey or pasta (usually regular noodles mixed with whole grain), a vegetable: carrots, peas, asparagus, broccoli, green beans. I have eggs with breakfast sometimes, but I've heard conflicting things about eggs being good or bad for you. I do have dairy: cheese and yogurt mostly. I'm not a big milk person but I drink it occasionally. Originally Posted by Jodi
