How can you tell if you're losing weight?

Like
When you work out I know you feel the burn or whatever but I know that's not it

One day you look in the mirror and next thing you know you look different I mean I know That's not it

So like of you feel a burning feeling in your stomach or something while you're not working out does that mean your bodies reacting to you working out or something?

And another thing
Why does my sister keep teasing me about my weight
She's 16 and I try So hard I work out and walk I'm always at the gym and she just keeps messing with me
Like today someone misplaced their food and right in front of me she goes
"Fatass probably ate it"
Or if I'm eating shell be like
"Is it good fatass?"

Why does she do this to me

I usually use my clothing to tell if I'm slimming down before stepping on a scale (a low number on a scale doesn't mean you're healthy). obviously the more weight you lose the looser your clothing will become. that burning during a workout is GOOD! it means you're actually challenging your body - and a challenge is what will make changes. for a workout program I'd combine cardio with weight training or do HIIT (high intensity interval training).

as for your sister, I would also be very upset about someone who is supposed to support me would put me down like that. you could have a serious talk with her or your mum about how her comments about your weight is really upsetting and hurtful and ask that it stops OR you could ignore those comments and rise above them, workout, eat clean, and make yourself happy.
best of luck with everthing! :)

Your sister seems like a bully.
Family bullies often pretend to (or believe they can) help by offering criticism. But a majority of the criticism is usually designed to make the bully feel better rather than to help the victim.
3 Ways You Could Cope:
1. Plan your responses ahead of time -- Practice your responses several times when you’re alone so they become automatic. When you’re in a heated situation, it’s hard to come up with a response that’s a habit. if you practice beforehand, standing up for yourself will become a positive habit.
2. Remove yourself from the situation -- take a break and go somewhere private
3. When you leave, leave it all behind -- instead of rolling it around your mind, set yourself a mental task of figuring out how to make it easier next time. going over who said what and how awful it all felt for days afterward is a negative habit that reinforces old emotional pattern.

I hope this helps. Good luck :)

Measurement's, How your clothes fit, The scale.

Your sister sound's like a bully, If it's upsetting you, tell her or an adult to make her stop. That's not right.

They get on her but she doesn't care

Hmmm how to know if I'm losing weight If only there was some device that could say measure how much you weigh and then you could use that on a weekly basis to see any progress, if only.
