Instead of trying to diet to lose the weight, do some thinking on how you can change your lifestyle (eating habits and exercise) so that you can live the rest of your life as the healthiest person you can be. Fad diets don t work, I know, I ve been on every one of them. The weight comes back. The ONLY proven method for permanent results is eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and exercise.At your age, a healthy diet can include many foods, but be sure you re getting in all of your veggies. Eat fruits as snacks instead of sweets (I like eating mixed berries w/ a low cal whipped topping), limit your soda (both regular and diet) consumption and drink more water and milk. I like filling up water bottles and using those flavor packs so that I m not drinking plain water all the time. Also, limit fast food to not more than 1 time a week.For exercise, I like to walk and swim. Those are things I like to do, so I can do them without feeling negitive about exercising. Walking, for 45 minutes to an hour a day, will help build your leg and back muscles over time, and since you love to dance, that s a good thing. Exercise routines such as pilates, kick-boxing, and martial arts are good routines too since they are fun and help build your core muscles as well as self discipline. If you want to join a sports team at school, that s a very good thing to do for exercise as well. The big thing is to find something that you like to do and do it. Just get out this summer and get moving, eat wiser and healthier and you should see the weight come off. But remember, don t lose weight too fast or your body will fight you. If you lose more than 3 pounds a week, up your calorie intake. Losing 2-3 pounds a week will insure that you keep it off in the long run.

talk to your dr and he will get you on the right diet plan for your age and body type!!

I would recommend you check out this book: Ask the Nutritionists: Answers to Your Nutrition Questions (paperback) by George Rapitis(Author)It contains very helpful nutrition tips for weight loss and excellent healthy recipes.

to lose that much weight, you have to see what is your weakness... if it s carbs or a horrible sweet tooth... stop or cut down big time on those. eat more fruits and veggies... my sister is on this diet where so far she lost 8 lbs since she recently started which is eating no meat and no carbs and eating mostly fruits and veggies... i don t know how she s still alive lol but she s starting to put some carbs into her diet now. i lost weight fast when i got into tae bo dvds (billy blanks lol) good luck!... oh and drink TONS of water because when you sweat, you will need to replace that by drinking water.

My experience of 36 years told me 1 ) drink plenty of water 2 ) tea without sugar as much as you like 3 )take lida dali daidaihua weight slimming loss pill Original from www.buylida.com 4} keep exercise . Afte taking for 1 month, I lost 20LB. It really works.The appetite will disappear in 2 or 3 days . Continue fasting for 7 to 10 days . When you start eating again take 4 small meals daily , once a week you can indulge in gobbling whatever you want . You can do this every 3 months . You will Keep fit by these step!

There s tons of tips, but the best one I can give you is veggies . The more colorful, the better. For example, spinach is a better choice than lettuce, and sweet potatoes are a better choice than white potatoes. Also, cut down on sugar and refined carbs.

If the weight is only around your belly and hips 20 llbs might be too much to lose all at once? Try smaller goals and make sure this is what you want and need and not for anyone else. Im alarmed because you stated it needs to be done before school, that is not enough time to lose that weight. But try this, make it a daily routine to take a 3 mile walk, it should only take and hour and if this is too much try to split it up in 1 mile at breakfast, lunch and dinner. ...What do you find yourself constantly overeating? Stop eating it.
