Any body got any good weight loss tips? -

i am 17 and i weigh 240 pounds...i really wanna lose weight but everything i try i always end up failing at it.....does any body have any good tips that r easy to stick too?

Easy to stick to? That s where you get into trouble. To lose that much weight, you have to change your entire way of life. You can t just do this one thing which takes five minutes, and magically become thin.The best things to do are to be active. Get outside and stop watching TV and playing video games all day. Go for walks and find activities that you like that involve you on your feet.Try to limit how much beer and soda you drink. That s a ton of calories you can eliminate easily.Drink more water, eat less fast food.Do that, you ll be all right.

exercise and reduce calories, especially in the form of carbs. no need to go crazy with carbohydrate restriction (i.e., Atkins), but just be smart with your choices. eliminate the refined carbs, and stick to natural, healthy ones like oatmeal, potatoes, etc. i ve never been fat, but since i eliminated processed foods from my diet, i ve never felt and looked better. fruits, veggies, fresh, lean meats. That s the key!

the only advice anyone should give is to start living a healthy life. get rid of your junk food and eat lean meat, fresh friut and veg, and whole grains plus heaps of water daily. ok i know you ve probably heard this before but its the only answer worth listening to. yes it s hard but challenge yourself - be srtong, are you weaker than food? come on mate, you can beat this! strat going for a walk EVERY day, get some fresh air, listen to some music on you rMP3 or wotever, just get out there! Then when your felling a bit fitter start swimming, this is the BEST exercise known to man and it WILL make you feel and (eventually if you STICK WITH IT) look awesome. honestly just do it for 14 days (wots 14 days out of the rest of your life?) and see how you feel. but remember all things in moderation, have one day a week when you don t exercise and eat something naughty your brain will eventaully stop making you crave junk all the time coz your still etiing your body have a treat. you will be so proud after two weeks that you ll want to keep going! good luck my friend!

OK- I can definitely help you- I m 14, was 160 lbs at 13, now am 115. Tips:1. bread- stop eating it. you can on occasion, but, for example, instead of butter use olive oil and spices2. meats- stop with sauces. only eat lean meats, and instead of burgers, go for chicken sandwiches. try catsup and mustard instead of mayo or dressings3. snacks- its OK to snack- in fact, its good for you (lets you eat smaller meals) try cutting up an apple and putting peanut butter and honey on it. it is good, curves the sweet craving, and is good for you!4. dessert- its OK in moderation. try a sugar or peanut butter cookie instead of the ice cream or brownie. and don t eat too many5. if you have a dog, take a walk with it every evening. it clears your mind, gives you exercise, is fun, and helps bond with your dog too!6. eat at home more / pack lunches- this is pretty easy. food that is mass produced has more fat/carbs. so try taking a good pb j. and if you must eat out, go for a salad w/ vinegrette or a Subway sanwich7. sandwiches- tuna, chicken, or any lean meats are great! also, good old-fahioned pb j s are still great too!8. drink more water/tea- Sodas are bad for you, and only make you hyper. also, hunger cravings can also be being thursty. drink before you eat, and you will eat lessthese are all pretty simple things, and I really hope they work for you! good luck!

Yeah... set realistic expectations. Don t expect to lose 20 pounds in a month. That won t happen, and then you ll get discouraged and quit.Diet and exercise always work. Cut out sweets, fatty foods, but make sure you don t mal-nourish your body by starving. Eat lots of protien, fiber, fresh vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. No processed food. No snack foods.Start slowly with the exercise, walking for 20 minutes a day is a good start, then gradually increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of the exercise.Goal to lose 1-2 lbs. per month, and sticking to it, is better than a goal to lose 10 lbs a month and giving up after the first month.Go get em.... you can do this.

Here are some of the most effective weight loss tips to help you get (or stay) on track to a healthier, better-looking body:1.Drink ice water. The simplest of the weight loss tips, it helps body burns up to 40 calories just by turning up its metabolism in order to warm the water.2.Have an early dinner so that you have an hour or two to take a short walk after dinner. In between meals, when you feel like eating something, reach out for a glass of water that will make you feel fuller soon.3.One of the effective weight loss tips is while cooking, lower the heat so that you can use less oil. Cut down on the use of hot, spicy foods. In fact, it would be much wiser to eliminate them from your diet.For more effective tips on reducing weight, you can read abt them here: http://weight-loss.best-health-remedy.co��

If you really want to look into it, read this book called I can make you thin by Paul Mckenna. It helps with emotional eating and teaches you how to eat when you are hungry, not when you are just bored or stressed. You need to listen to your body and only feed it when it wants, and you need to learn how to stop eating when you are full, not bloated. I really recommend it. It s easy to follow.
