Hi. I'm 13-14 in a couple weeks- years old, aobut 5'5 and about 130 pounds. My stomach is huge and I'm always sucking it in and doing different types of situps and core exercise videos along with cardio exercise for about an hour almost everyday. I used to eat 1300 calories and every morning my stomach would look small. Now I'm eating 1500 calories or a little less and my stomach always looks round and situps won't do anything and no matter what I do I can't seem to slim down .I  haven't checked my weight- I'm too scared and don't want to be hit witha  wave of depression during exams.

What do you eat? how much do you exercise?

Shouldn't I be able to lose weight on about 1500? IS my metabolism screwed form eating 1300 for so long or should I begin eating 1300 again. Does sodium have anything to do with my bulging stomach? My breakfast, lunch and snacks are not high in sodium-cheerios or oatmeal for breakfast, cheerios or PB&J for lunch with an apple and pudding, and some fruit for a snack. My dinners could be anything from fish with brocooli to penne and vodka sauce. MY parents make it and they ar einsulted if I don't eat and assume I'm starving myself. So those cna be high in sodium. then I have an 100-calorie pack with milk or a Skinny Cow dessert no higher than 200 calories for dessert. My dinners usually have at elast 350 calories so they are definetely my biggest meals.

Also, I do exercise videos for 30 minutes and the treadmill for 30 mins(15 walking 15 running). But lately I have been doing an hour or exercise videos because I'm sick of the treadmill. Would this do something to my weight loss?

Should I cut sodium?(I heard that's how you can get a flat stomach?)

Should I cut calories?

Should I change exercise? I don't know how I could though. all I have is a treadmill and I take walks and I do all different exercise videos. I get really guilt if I don't run on the treamdill b/c I already take sundays off form the treadmill but sometimes I just can't handle doing it 6 days a week.

Any advice of your would help. Any and all. Pleas,e only respond if you want to be helpful, not for telling me what I'm doing wrong.I've received a lot of that on this site and it has truly dissapointed me. Notice I'm placing this in the "Young Calorie Counters" Section for a reason.

Any success stories, tips, jsut what you do in general>? How much exercise you do , how many calories you eat, ho0w much wieght you've lost, what exercise you do, what you eat. Any suggestions for my many issues? Especially related to the treadmill?

PLEASE PLEASe help me. I'm so sad and depressed. If you could just take the time to write a small respone, it would brighten my whole day.
