Weight loss program to follow this summer, I m 13 and currently 5 5 and weigh about 152.2 I want to weigh 130.0 by the end of summer, and I wanted to know of a exercise and food program to follow during the summer time. Please no rude or dumb comments like wow your so fat or wow your bigger then me, I know I need to change, and I don t need more stress about my weight, and don t try to be little miss nice person and say oh you don t need to loose any weight, because its normal for girls your age, and your not done growing yet, I went to my doctors appointment and he told me face to face that I was a little overwieght. Don t be confused that I don t want your answer, because I do want your answer! And thank you for those who are respectful to my wishes, and answer my question, and once again thank you.

It s very common at age to be carrying a little extra fat, as your body needs it as fuel for your growth spurt. What else did your doctor say? If you have health problems that require radical changes in your diet, she or he should be the one you ask first.My advice would be to take lots of walks, swim, read a lot of books, do some volunteer work, and stay away from fashion magazines and television. They often give kids your age an unrealistic notion of what size they should be. As far as diet, don t eat anything that doesn t give you nutritional bang for your buck. Summer is a great time for eating lots of different seasonal foods. Try a fruit you ve never tried before!Everyone 13 years old would be better off trying to improve their mind and social skills rather than obsessing about size.

You should go to Sparkteens.com it is a website for teens who are trying to lose weight or trying to get a healthier lifestyle. Trust me it really works!!!! It tells you things that you should try but are healthy and also tells you how many calories you eat after you put the foods you ate for the day. It even had a exercise place where they show you step-by-step directions for some exercises and offer videos to workout with. All this is FREE!!!! They also have motivating articles and on-line coaches who offer help when you need it. If you go on this website you will lose weight but the sad news is that you can t lose all that in the summer because the healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week- I know it sucks but its worth it. SO go and try it I hope that helps!!!

I m a little taller than you but I weigh a little more, so we probably have around the same bmi, and I m looking to lose some weight this summer too. I don t know how much I ll actually stick to it, but this is pretty much what I want to do...Breakfast- 5 days per week have cereal with skim milk or an oatmeal packet made with water. 2 days per week have a more indulgent breakfast like a muffin, 1/2 of a bagel with cream cheese, or pancakes.Lunch- Just try to cut down portions and go with lighter things such as salads with chicken, chicken wraps (a good one is grilled chicken with peppers, onions, balsamic vinaigrette, and feta cheese in a wrap), or a Lean Cuisine. Just make sure it s nothing fried or fast food, and try not to have heavy things like red meat or heavy pastas like lasagna or ziti. Breakfast foods are often lighter, so sometimes do a second breakfast, like cereal or an omlette (a good idea with those is 1/2 of your eggs are whole and 1/2 are whites- a lot healthier and you honestly can t taste a difference)Dinner- My family eats together so I don t have much choice but luckily, in summer we eat lighter things like most people do because of the weather, it just doesn t feel right to have, say, a steak. Just stay away from things like potato salad or hamburgers (which are okay sometimes, but just not too often).For snacks, try to stick to seasonal things like watermelon and strawberries. If you like popsicles, there are some types that are just like 10 calories each which is really good. Stay away from creamy dressings, fried foods, and ice cream. And for exercise, try not to make it seem like work but instead get out there and enjoy the nice weather, like biking, swimming, etc.Good luck!(also, check out intuitive eating at intuitiveeating.com. just reading their website helped me because they teach how to follow what your body is saying and to stop eating when you re full, which seems so simple but as we both know, it isn t.)

You could try this. This worked for me and my sisters. I recently started to eat only healthy foods and lost 20 pounds in 3 months very easily. I actually learned about this healthy eating result from my younger sister. I had seen her 3 months before a while ago and she just looked like her regular self. Then I saw her 3 months later and she had lost 25 pounds and had her high school figure back. I was sooo shocked I couldn t say anything or mention it for quite a while, then I asked her if she had been running or something, that she looked great and she said she hadn t had time to exercise, and which made me feel better as I knew I wouldn t do that either and stick with it. Then she said her and her daughter just went on a heart healthy diet. Their motto was, If it s not healthy, don t eat it. I started the day I got home with changing just a few things in my diet and slowly the pounds started falling off, I was completely amazed. I didn t tell anyone I was doing it, but my family. I knew my weight in the beginning and didn t weigh myself again until my pants felt way looser, so it wasn t discouraging in the beginning. I recorded everything I ate each day on a Word document and I am still doing it, to keep a record of it. People eventually started to notice that I was losing weight, my pants were getting baggier. I didn t want to tell any of them, as that creates added expectations. This is pretty much what my healthy eating plan is each day:Breakfast:1 cup of Kashi cereal either Go Lean Crunch or Autumn Wheat1/2 cup of 1% milk(in the beginning I measured it out, then later I just poured a bowl full with 1% milk) This cereal is the main ingredient I believe in the healthy eating start as it is very filling and you and easily last until lunch.Lunch:1 light yogurt and 1 appleI also drink either lots of water throughout the dayinstead of pop at restaurants I always get ice tea as it has no caloriesDinner:I always have a large glass of 1% milkmeat, barbecued or broiled if fried only occasionally in olive oilsalad with anything on it veggies, fruit, nuts, meats, and dressingssteamed, boiled, or fresh vegetables you can have as much as you likeyou can also have as much fruit as you likeif you have anything fried like a corn taco shell fry it in olive oilother than that the rule is no fried foodscottage cheese is good alsoif you have baked potatoes use spray butter on it and also on your vegetablesif you have bread or rice, make it whole grainsDon t forget soup is a great dinner or lunch food. Snack if you need them are things like almonds, pretzels, and popcorn.If you keep it around 1200-1400 calories you will lose about 1 to 2 pounds a week. If really is a game of calories. So, don t waste your calories on junk.IF YOU WANT RESULTS, NO CHEATING AND IT WILL HAPPEN. I guess it convinced me as I could see her results and I knew it worked. I also know I would never stick with anything that was too hard to do or keep track of, so that is why this works for me.Good luck!* I went down from a size 11/12 to a size 7/8 I was completely amazed. I truly shows how much junk and unhealthy fatty foods we eat in our diets each day. I have also started to really look at all of unhealthy people that are overweight and try to notice what they eat at the malls and in restaurants, then I go get a salad or something healthy, and they do sell these things to when you are out with friends or shopping etc.Here is an easy calorie formula that makes sense that I read in Prevention Magazine. Take the weight you want to be and multiply it by 10 if you are somewhat inactive, and that is how many calories you should eat each day to get to your desired weight. If you are more active multiply your desired weight by 13 and you will have the calories you want to consume daily. Multiplying by the 10 seems the easier to me as a lot of what you eat is a guess-timation anyway. You definitely don t want anything hard to remember, or it is too easy to quit.The problem I think is there are way too many over weight people in America. We eat too much junk. The secret I think is to eat healthy foods and walking is a great exercise that people don t do enough of, and it saves on gas money, too. If you are eating only Healthy Foods it definitely can t hurt you. It is all of the junk that does it. I have used the Walk Away the Pounds Exercise Tapes. by Leslie Sansone, I like the one called the Power Mile. Remember that muscles weighs more than fat, but it burns more calories. So, if you are exercising, too you will be adding on muscle, so the scale may show more pounds, so don t get discouraged. I recommend not weighing yourself until you know your pants are way looser, then only weigh yourself every now and then, and always first thing in the morning, otherwise it is discouraging.Good Luck.
