I've been working out since about the sixth grade. I'm about to be in eighth next year and I havent lost very much weight the entire time. I know I'm growing, but the size of my legs have grown quite large, while my top half has stayed the same, if not slimmed down. What exactly am I doing wrong? My bottom half keeps growing and I have no clue why, while my top half is still slim as ever.

If you are eating a good and proper diet and getting a reasonable amount of exercise, you're growth is being determined by your genes.We are all 99% nature (genetics) and 1% nurture (changeable). Here is what we can do to sculpt our bodies.1. Add fat - Adding fat for all but the extreme ectomorph is a simple matter of eating too many calories over a long period of time. We have no control over where the fat will be deposited on our body.2. Lose fat - Fat loss must begin with diet. Exercise can help but no exercise can make someone lose fat if they eat too many calories. We have no control over where the fat leaves our body.3. Add muscle - Adding muscle size requires a commitment to very hard strength training (anaerobics). We don't get big muscles from aerobic ("cardio") exercise. It only comes very slowly from working out against substantial resistance.4. Lose muscle - There is no healthy way to lose natural (genetic) muscle. We can, however, allow our muscles to atrophy or grow smaller by not using them. We can also "waste" muscle by starving them of nutrition. These, of course, are not a healthy options but they are the only way to make lean muscle smaller (less volume).That's it. That's all we can do without surgery.

However, they have bodies which are quite different owing to genetics and not to external factors. Good luck and good health!!♠Other Answers:
