hey, im happy for you,but you know how to lose weight already,everyone does.eat less,and exercise more.

Having been a big child when I was younger, the best way I found to lose the weight was by running with a little weight training. Start by doing at least 1 1/2 hr of cardio a week. Break it down and thats only 30 mins. a day, three days a week. If you can not do 30 mins. a day break it down even more to what works for you. When you get ready to do strengh training break it down in parts. One day do chest (push exercise), next day do back (pull exercise), next day shoulders (push exercise), next day back (pull exercise) and so on. Just ensure that you do a little cardio after every work out. It helps the body burn more well after you have finished working out. Best of luck to you.

I guess the only really healthy thing to do (You know, without destroying your body and everything,) Is maybe invest in a gym membership, eat healthy, and get some decent exercise. Try eating lighter dinners and lunches, and a good healthy breakfast with lots of fruit instead of a ton of meat. Eat some salad instead of steak. You know, traditional weight loss techniques?

run, ride your bike often, and you probably have a terrible diet. Drink water, not soda, eat a lot of fruit (it tastes good) and when you don t eat an excess amount of food, and eat junk food only maybe once a week it tastes a lot better because you re body is not used to it.

i m tall and thin, so i can t really relate to youbut just get involved in sports.take dance, swim, play tennis, and go on daily jogs.or go to a gym if you d like.and try eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, and only eat treats very rarely.i hope i helped, and good luck!

Im thin, and I dont know much about this topic. But I ve heard that being a vegetrain makes you thin. Try it? And you do get to save the world a little bit?

ooooooooo........sorry but the other day on oprah the talked about weight lose nd try going to oprah.com or try eating six small meals every 2 hrs and wen ur lighter start exercising

i d say to eat healthy and EXCERCISE YOUR BUTT OFF.you could be a vegitarian. theres a lot of cholesterol in meat. you also should drink A LOT of water. for food you could cut back on meat a little, if you are already eating a lot. and eat nuts like almonds or chickpeas. if you ever feel like you want something sweet you can have chocolate but make sure its either dark chocolate or semi-sweet. dark chocolate is better for you though. make sure you dont eat too much. you could drink a glass of water or any other beverage before you eat and eat slower. if you eat fast it wont give you time to digest and then you feel like your going to pass out.so yeah. im not any expert in health or anything. just dont resort to starving yourself*notsayingyouwould*.but good luck!

I know how you feel. I m overweight myself and have been a yo-yo dieter for a while. I also want to lose a lot of weight before school starts again.Some tips would be:-Drink a lot of water, eight glasses of day if you can to flush out the toxins-No soda-Eat a lot of fruit and vegetables but not too much fruit because fruit contains natural sugars in it-If you drink milk with cereals, try and replace it with soymilk, it tastes exactly the same as regular milk but better for you-Use the serving sizes on the back of food lables if you get confused with how much to eat with a certain food. -Watch your portion sizes. Don t eat too much of one thing.-Do NOT starve yourself, it wont help at all, trust me.Exersizing is also very important if you want to lose weight. Find something active you enjoy like kickboxing, pilates, or Tae Bo with Billy Blanks I recommend. If none of those, just take a walk for a bit but remember to be active for atleast 30 minutes.Good luck and stay modivated, you can do it!

Well I think it s totally about self-control:Breakfast: integral toast and a 70-calorie yogurtLunch: Fruit (any kind, except banana) and a fish (not fried)Snack if you get hungry: gum or 90-calorie diet barDinner: Light soup (not a creamy soup, it has too much fat)Or maybe a cup of special K or cheeriosSome other tips:DON T EVER DINNER AFTER 7PM, IT HAS BEEN PROVEN IN INVESTIGATIONS AND THAT HELPS A LOT, TRY TO DINNER AFTER 7, I SWEAR IT S AMAZINGI recommend you coffee in the morning, it gives you a lot of energy! (without sugar, or maybe splenda)Another thing is to drink green tea once a day, it burns fat and it s good for your healthGood luck

First off it s good to hear that you have some motivation. Too many people who want to lose weight aren t motivated enough to take the initiative. I do have a few recommendations for you.First, don t listen to anyone who talks about going on some kind of fad diet (cutting out certain food groups). That s exactly why they call it a fad - it doesn t work over a long period of time. The best thing you can do to get in shape is to start a healthy eating plan. Find out how many calories you need to take in each day and try to eat 6 small meals a day. This will jump start your metabolism. Don t eat anything with high fructose corn syrup in it- this is one of the biggest fat producing agents you can consume. Stick to lean meats like turkey and fish, and eat lots of vegetables. Also try to stop eating fast food. This site shows how many calories certain foods have: http://www.thedailyplate.com/ One of the most overlooked ways to lose weight is to drink as much water as you can stand in a day. When you drink water it reduces your appetite and keeps you hydrated as well.The second piece of advice I have for you is to start some kind of exercise routine. Walking or running is a great way to get started. It s inexpensive and you can do it anywhere you go. I would recommend this plan: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/�� I used this same plan to get back in shape when I decided to join the Air Force. It s a great plan and will really help you burn calories. Plus, there is a podcast that accompanies it. You can download it on iTunes and use it in an iPod or MP3 player. The podcast is basically like having your own running coach and the music is great for running.As long as you follow these two basic principles you should start to see results. It won t be instant, but your age is definitely to your advantage. Also, for a while your body will be converting fat to muscle so you won t notice certain changes right away. Just remember, the more muscle you have the more calories you burn in a day- therefore the more fat you will burn. Don t give up! At first you will be sore and might not want to work out, but it will definitely be worth it. If you have any other questions feel free to message me.Best of luck!
