My mom says I am getting too skinny but I just want to lose 5 more lbs, I am roughly 115-120 lbs. Not sure, last time I checked was in October and I was 120. I run every morning before breakfast for 20 minutes with situps,leg ups and trunk rotations following that.I am 13, so I find it difficult to eat only 1200 calories, it makes me hungry.Anyways, thanks for your time. :]I'm also between 5'2 and 5'3. :]

At your age, you shouldn't be counting calories. I used to do it, and I wish that I didn't because now I have the rest of my life to do it. But, if you feel that you must, eat at least 1600 calories and drink a lot of water.

Don't think too much about calories, just work on your diet and exercise continuously. That would be a better way for you to go about managing your weight. But hey, your still young, it's all right, you're on the right path. Keep it up.
