how many inches is one pound of fat? I want to lose weight?

How many inches is one pound of fat?

I am 13 years old, 5 foot 1 3/4 inches tall, weigh 137 lbs. My waist is 29 inches, hips 34 inches. I would like to know how many pounds overweight I am. I’m not super fat, I just wanna get rid of my muffin top. I’m also JUST in the group of an unhealthy BMI- a BMI of 25.1. I’ve started to TRY to exercise more (90 minutes of Bikram Yoga once weekly, Kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday). If I can I go to the gym once or twice, I will, jogging 45 minutes at 5.0 with an incline of 3.0. I try to jump rope 30 minutes a day when not going to the gym, however it usually comes out to 15 minutes. Not ideal.

I’m attempting to eat right, aiming for 1200-1400 calories a day, however I usually consume about 1400-1800 daily. I eat a big breakfast: A vanilla yogurt with cheerios and some strawberries inside. If I can remember, I’ll have a glass of warm water and lemon juice. I think it’s the snacks that get to me. I don’t really like potato chips and soda, but crackers and carbohydrates. A usual lunch I make is: One ounce of snack stuff (pita chips, popcorn, organic cheese puffs), a cup of pasta (whole wheat if available) with olive oil and parmesan cheese. A power bar. 1/2 cup of fruit of some sort. Some other snack-type thing. MAYBE something sweet. I usually drink about 4 cups of water daily, trying to drink 8. At dinner I usually have something like chicken with rice. But I think I eat to much then. I don’t usually have dessert.

I want to be able to be (more) confident in my body, not dread pool parties and swim class. And, I was recently cast as Adelaide from Guys and Dolls in a musical. That means skimpy costumes. Lots of leg. Whoopee. The show starts on May 24. Do you think I can get skinnier by then?

Any tips, tricks…?

And I’m not “obsessed” with a model image, celeb body, being super skinny. It’s not me. And I will be seeking my doctor’s opinion in about a month.

The breakdown:

• How overweight am I?
• How to make the weight loss easier?
• How many inches is one pound?
• How to track my weight loss without a scale? Ours just broke, but I can use the one at the gym.

Weight Loss Tips (already quite thin just looking for more)?

OK first off I need you all to know that I do not want to hear anyone trying to talk me out of this. I am 19, i eat like CRAP meaning awful foods, and at completely inconstant timings… I have no set boundaries in my diet. Some how I manage to be 5′ 10″, 125 lbs, my measurements are b- 31″ w- 24″ and h-36… This is very border line for the limits in my profession (modeling) I could definitely afford to have a healthier lifestyle, and I NEED the 2 inches off of my hips!!! I want the inches off by December. I assume it is harder for already thin people to loose weight, and I do have fat it isn’t all muscle or anything. I want to hear everything anyone can offer to me. Diets, easy exercise plans, words of motivation. I have a lifestyle that doesn’t give me a ton of spare time, and I am always traveling which makes finding a gym difficult, so the easier and funner the better. I am ready to take my body to the next level, I just am fighting this awful addiction to bad foods, the more I think about it the more I want them and I feel like I am even gaining wait at this point. i spend a lot of my day walking from casting to casting. I want to loose the weight healthily and make a lifestyle of it although I am open to hearing “get skinny” tricks, I likely won’t use them (they freak me out) but I enjoy the information.
Thank you in advance!

ps
I am in Hong Kong right now if that helps at all.
