Here's what other kids had to say:

i have a question. please dont make fun of me but i am over weight, not obeesed, overweight. im 10 years old,girl, im 4 foot 11, and weigh 134 pounds. acctulay my legs are toned:), my thighs are big. i have thunder thighs all my weight goes to my belly(that is a fun word) but my question is that well i play kickball and/or run outside for 1 and a half hours. I ride my bike for 2 hours and sometimes play wii fit plus. But its hard for me to loose weight! i eat balenced meals. whay is this? i hardly ever eat deserts! it may be because i eat fast, but i haved slowed down! i just get depressed rom my body and i feel alone sometimes. that is because like almost all the girls at my school are rather tall and skinny and pretty or short(not being mean), skinny and pretty. except my friends(there are only 3, Me, Krista and Jazzy) i apprecitate you reading! and sometimes i get so upset about it i feel that i am not pretty & useless:(

I get about 30 minutes or so every week. I know it's not much but I'm trying to get more . It's just that I don't have much time now that school's started.

I take dance classes, but I'm a bit lazier on non dance-days :p. But I try to exercise on the other days. Overall, I think I get a fairly good amount of exercise every week.
