Weight loss tips please, i am 15 at 57 and 125 pounds. I want to lose 10- 15 pounds? -

i know everyone will say diet and exercise, but the thing is i do and i dont lose weight i just see some more muscle tone, how can i actually just get slimmer?

Why do you need to lose weight. I m 5 7 and according to my body mass index the lowest weight at that height one should be is 123. If you lose 15 lbs you ll be 110 and that is waaaay underweight for your height. You might want to tone up but not lose the weight you have.

You don t have to diet just make sure you eat proper foods. You want to eat healthy carbs(whole grain foods: wheat bread, healthy cereal, etc.) Eat healthy proteins low in fat: fish and chicken. Eat healthy fats but not a lot, don t eat fats from steak, chips, processed meals, fast food, etc. Do more cardio (running) and less resistance training(lifting weights) If you diet and starve yourself your body will start packing on pounds when you start eating again. That is your bodies natural defense mechanism against starving. So don t starve yourself, your only hurting your body. You are 15, if you starve or diet by eating a lot less your only hurting your growth into an adult. If you are male you will not grow as tall or muscular and if you are female you will not develop as well in the chest area by not getting the proper nutrition.

I hate to break it to you but you re actually 10 to 20 pounds TOO skinny. I m about 5 7 or 5 8 and I ve been told I should weigh as much as 160 with my frame. So first of all, lets say I dont understand why you want to lose weight and you shouldn t try to.However, in the event you really want to, you have to take a serious look at your diet and figure out any changes you can make to be a bit more healthy. Just do a little bit of cardio, you could take up strength training, that helps work muscle and burn fat.

Sorry! Going lower from that weight would be anorexic! I m a 14 year old boy and take it from me I bet you look fine. Just some girls with their slim look may look good but no one can really care less (Not in a mean way O:) Just be healthy :]

You SHOULDN T lose any weight; it would be unhealthy. You are already very skinny, and taking off any more weight could make you really sick.

You don t lose weight because you do not need to lose anymore weight. You are currently on the thin side of normal for that height already. Your body won t lose much more weight without you getting sick

DO NOT LOSE WEIGHT! You don t have to at all! You are actually underweight! The middle of your healthy weight range is 135 pounds.

I think you re perfectly slim!If you get too thin, you might look unhealthy.try some yoga, it s relaxing and it keeps yo fit without bulking up!

a cardio work out at least 4 times a week
