at 97 lbs you want to loose weight. Your only 13 my friend I dont think you need to worry about lossing any weight. Hit the weights hard but take it easy your still growing

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain

At 13, unless you are obese, just train hard and eat smart. You will develop nicely. Throw some cardiovascular exercise in with the weights, good to develope your cardiovascular health at this age also. You should make some great gains with your developing testosterone.

Um, if you're 5'2" you should really weigh 110 lbs... So you're under weight right now.

Besides, you're 13. By the time you reach 20, all the babyfat will be gone.

Stay active, stay away from McDonalds, and you will be fine. Your metabolism will boost, and you will shed fat and get leaner and more muscular. Try to eat 5 times per day, nice balanced meals, and this will help rev metabolism. The good healthy habits you learn now will stick with you the rest of your life!
