Just keep waiting, the baby fat will magically dissappear with time.
The idea of 'baby fat' or 'puppy fat' is very much nonsense.

I had 'puppy fat' when I was 11. Turned out I was actually just fat. I waited until I was 16 and I was even fatter. I was fat when I was 20 as well. Then I started exercising and living healthily. It doesn't disappear, it's just a softly-softly excuse used to make kids feel better. If you're overweight as a young person you need to improve your lifestyle just like everyone else.
I have what you call baby fat. It's not baby fat. It's just fat.:eek: eat healthier and exercise.

Once you become a teenager it's probably not baby fat anymore :smile:

i've seen young children who did more exercise and ate better than me(i've always been a twig) and still look 'overweight', yet as soon as they had a growth spurt it all just fell off. I don't think it's a saying to make them feel better, in some cases it is down to lack of a healthy lifestyle but for others they simply can't do anything about it until they grow
Once you've grown to your full height and you're still a bit chubby... That ain't baby fat that's just regular old fat.

Diet and exercise are your friends.

I had the opposite problem, I finally gained some fat as an adult, having been a stick insect for a teenager.

It happens with some people, especially young children. But fat infants make fat adolescents and they make fat adults. I think it's safer to go with a majority and suggest a healthier lifestyle, because it's not going to harm those who do lose it naturally, but it's propogating a myth for the majority who aren't going to lose it.

I want to lose weight because I don’t like how I am but my mum keeps on saying I look fine you will lose your puppy fat but when do you actually lose you puppy fat I just want to be skin like all my mates in school
Stop bumping a 4 year old thread.

Read the FAQ and lose weight. ‘Puppy fat’ is just being fat but a growth spurt is imminent so that fat may well go away
