My name is Mariah. I'm 14 years old and 9 months. I weigh 130 lbs. and am 5 foot 3 1/2 inches. I know that I am not fat, but I do wish I was more thin. I've been searching online for ways to lose weight, but I have very little experience. By this I mean that I have no idea if these diets will really work or if they're safe or beneficial. I wish I could try these diets some way in secret but every time I finally get to downloading the meal plan or tips it always cost money. I know that if I ask my parents they will laugh at me and just tell me to exercise and stop eating junk food. While I am a huge athlete, I just cannot seem to lose weight.

Ive read the Idiot Proof Diet, the Slimin4 diet, and the wu-long tea... and it all just seems to good to be true. There has to be something wrong with them... isnt there?

Does anyone have any advice?
I know that I am healthy.. but I want to be skinny like all my friends. Surely you can understand that :\

I play softball competitively, my mile time is 7:15, & I like being active.. but bcuz im so muscular I weigh a lot and I dont like it.
