Does anyone have any good weight loss tips? -

I m 16 and a little over 5 8 . I weigh around 130. What is a good way to loose around 15 lbs? I only drank water all month and I ended up gaining weight. I think it was because since I only drank water, I was more hungry since I wasn t getting my fill from other drinks that have calories if that makes sense.I don t want to loose weight unhealthily, so yeahhhh help?!

5 8 and you want to be under 115? That s skinny. That s not desirably skinny. Eat healthy and get at least 20 minutes of cardio a day and drink a TON of water (at least 70 fl oz/day). The weight will come off slowly, give it time. Try to lose about 5-10 pounds, not 15.

Alright so your in high school like me... are you taking gym?When I m in gym we do ALOT, and alot of it s running.We have a huge track which we run around twice no stopping and it adds up. We also do the so called beep test if you ve heard of that then you know what it s like. (We go to 10)Then all the little exercises such as push ups sit ups, ETC.All of that makes you lose so much. Also if you lay off of the junk food then you ll find yourself losing alot as well. It s okay to have it once and a while but just not so much.Waters really good but so is juice.Also if you eat in between your meals you gain weight. only have your basic Break fest, lunch, dinner and snack. (Small snacks in between like apples, ETC are good)Basically just exercise, eat healthy and try not to worry too much about it and you ll be skinny before you know it.Don t count your calories... It really dosen t make much of a difference... it s just sick really.Hope I helped Hun.

Did you eat at all during the month? The best thing to do at your age is just watch what you eat and exercise. At 5 8 , 10 lbs is not overweight so you shouldn t be too concerned about it. Just make sure you are burning more calories than you take in. Also, you should probably eat at least 1500 calories a day to stay healthy. Drink water and milk to get a god mix of fluids and calcium. Dairy actually contributes to weight loss as long as you use it within reason.

Eat fruits, vegies, protein, and some fat. Stay away from carbs such as pasta, bread, potatoes; Try to only eat fruit and vegie carbs. Don t deny yourself your favorite fun foods but do try to limit them. Always eat--don t miss meals. Learn what foods are filling and healthful. (Think of how many calories are in a bag of potato chips; could you possibly eat that many calories in apples? No way. Therefore choose more filling foods.)Keep a record and write everything down you put in your mouth. Weigh yourself everyday. Don t starve yourself but don t stuff yourself. Try to live with a little emptyness but don t ever become famished.Don t go on stupid starvation diets.I am a male and recently lost more than 30 pounds.

Burn off all the calories you take in. Thats what I do. Just keep track of what you eat and about the amount of calories in your foods. Then, when nobody s looking, do some jumping jacks or wave your arms and legs around just to burn off some of those calories. If you ever feel like eating more than usual, then make yourself jog in place for a few minutes or do some sort of cardio before you eat. It should work.

You sound pretty skinny already... If you want to lose weight really badly though, I have two suggestions. 1. eat small healthy meals, work out, and don t eat at night!2. kisses! im serious. Whenever i gain a little weight, i call up my ex boyfriend, we make out for a few hours, and i wake up the next morning four pounds lighter.Good luck! and dont get too skinny... guys like a little cushion for the pushin ;)

50 Weight Loss TipsJune 5, 2006 at 9:27 pm �� in Health �� Comments I lost 30 pounds in three months. If you wanted to know how I did it, and how I intend on maintaining my current weight, then these 50 weight loss tips are for you. I��m not an expert, but I do speak from experience. If it helps you attain your own weight loss goals, then I��m happy to have helped (if only to serve as a reinforcement of knowledge you already possess). Most of this, I learned on my own or through close friends and family members. Ponzi��s been a great help through the entire process, being a model partner in the weight loss process. Feel free to add your own tips to this list, too! If someone wants to help me extend these points into a full-on eBook, I��m all ears.Dietary control and exercise. It��s true what they say - all you need to do is watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It��s really that simple. You can quit reading this list now, you now know everything you need to know and didn��t need to fork over $500 for the privilege of me telling you the secret of losing weight. You don��t need to read a 4,000 page book, you don��t have to buy a tape series, you don��t need to stay up late at night to watch infomercials to understand this basic premise. It��s 100% true. Change your lifestyle. If you��re calling this a ��diet,�� then you��re going to gain all the weight back (and more) within a few months of losing it. Diets do not work. Diets are temporary. When you change your dietary lifestyle, however, you��re changing your habits - and you��re putting yourself on track for long-term / continued success and weight maintenance. Don��t ever tell anybody you��re on a diet - ever. I��m speaking from experience, here - a reformed low-carber. Worked out well for a while, but ultimately failed because my entire lifestyle didn��t change (permanently). Join an online support group. In my case, I created my own - FatBlasters. It��s essential that you not feel alone, and reaching out to friends (new or old) is typically a smart move. I just heard about PeetTrainer, but didn��t know about it when I began down the road to weight loss. You have to know that others are out there for moral support - they know things that you couldn��t possibly know, and they��ve probably been ��in your shoes�� at some point in the past (or present). Share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures - share them. There are thousands of communities out there, so keep looking until you find the one that fits you. Take before and after photos. I know it sucks to see yourself as a chunky monkey (sorry, that��s what I called myself - if only to get myself motivated to meet my weight loss goal). However, there��s no easier way to illustrate your progress. The ��after�� photos are far more fun to capture and share, admittedly. Find yourself on Flickr! It��s good to see yourself how others see you. Do you like how you look? In many ways, Flickr helped me lose weight. Hire a substitute teacher. Don��t reach for the brands you know and love immediately - or without thinking first. Eggs are ��good�� for you, but consider using egg substitutes instead (in fact, many restaurants will let you order lower calorie foods). There are countless ��lower�� alternatives for you to try. If something different doesn��t taste good, by all means - find a better substitute, or eat less of the original. In some cases, the substitute may be worse for you than the regular version of the product. The good news is, healthier choices are silently replacing their ��normal�� counterparts - and they taste just as nice. Start reading labels. I know it sucks, but you have to do it - and there��s no way to avoid this tip. If you don��t know what you��re putting in your mouth, you��re flying blind. Don��t assume, either - triple-check the ingredients list and serving sizes. You must rely on yourself for this; nobody else is going to be able to lose the weight or do the math for you. It��s not that complicated a task, but it will require effort. If nothing else, just pay attention to the calorie count. What��s so funny about bovines? If you like cheese, you must buy the Laughing Cow brand, and keep several of the suckers in stock at all times. The individually-wrapped wedges make for excellent snacks, and are wonderful when melted over just about anything edible. I��d be careful about straight-up American cheese, though - it��s oil, but not necessarily as good for you as (say) a slice of cheddar would be. I have yet to find something as calorie-light and filling as Laughing Cow (I don��t know how they do it). Tell your family. You��re not going to lose the weight alone, even if you ARE alone in losing the weight. If you��ve got a family at home, talk to them about it - initially, not incessantly. Let them know what you��re going to do, and that you want (and need) their support. If you don��t let them know, you��re running the risk of them inadvertently sabotaging your efforts. You want them to help you get to your goal(s). You want them to share in your happiness when you��ve made it past a certain mark. Who knows? Maybe some of your new habits will rub off on them and they��ll become healthier people, too? Go public. I didn��t want to admit that I had screwed up, but admitting the problem in public was the first step on the path to eventual success. I was now accountable for my actions, and all my friends knew what I was doing. There was no turning back, otherwise I��d be risk damaging my integrity. I didn��t want to disappoint the people who read me on a regular (or semi-regular) basis. Plus, it��s an easy way to find out which of your friends have gone through the process before - and glean tips from their own experiences. Then, other friends might become inspired to do the same thing you��re doing once they see that you��ve taken the first step. Identify your exercise. No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationarily. Find the one that works best for you - that isn��t too much of a chore for you to do regularly throughout the week. Don��t pick a routine that you don��t like - or you won��t want to do it, and you certainly won��t stick with it for long. I also wouldn��t recommend buying into that whole ��no pain, no gain�� mantra. I��ve lost weight without hurting myself, and you probably can, too. Become a Gazelle. You��ve probably seen Tony Little on TV, selling his Gazelle glider - a low impact exercise machine. I can tell you: it works. It��s easy on my legs, and really gives me a workout when I apply myself on it. Some people say it��s awkward to use, but I love mine - and would consider recommending no other home exercise equipment at this point. Then again, I��m a wimpy geek who only wants to burn calories. Zone out. There��s a reason why people exercise to their favorite music - listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity. That��s the secret to making ��exercise time�� fly. If you��re concentrating on what your body is doing, the session is going to drag on for what will seem like days. Buy a portable music player, or situate yourself in front of a television. The Carb Rotation Diet. Eat-Weight-Off- Lose 10 Lbs In One Week. Diet Fitness. The Great Cardio Myth.

Weight Lifting Routine. Never count on live programming. It��s important to stimulate your mind while your body is exerting itself in other ways. However, never rely on ��what��s on TV or the radio�� at the time. Instead of zoning out, you��ll find yourself flipping between channels - and that��s going to make the time drag as much as it would if you weren��t keeping your mind busy in the first place. ��Live�� is a very bad idea. Go with pre-recorded programming or go without. Video games helped me lose weight. I can keep my balance on the Gazelle (which some might find difficult to do). As such, I plugged an Xbox 360 into the TV and started to play it while I was working out. Immediately, I found that I was sweating more than I was when I was only watching TV passively! The reason boils down to a single word: adrenalin. Now, the only way I��m able to work up a sweat is when I play a fast-paced game on the game console. Yes, even game genre is important; avoid any diversions that require long pauses between tasks. Racing games (like Burnout) have worked very well for me. The more mindless the game, the better your burn, the faster the exercise session will go. Set realistic goals. You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery - but not if you��re human. Slow and steady wins the race. Don��t bite off more than you can chew - literally. Make small goals on your way to the bigger goal(s). In the end, you��ll have achieved more (and more frequently, might I add). Avoid trans fats and high fructose corn syrup. I offer this suggestion for a few reasons. First, they��re not good for you anyway. Second, you��ll eliminate a lot of the ��bad foods�� outright - no questions asked. You��ll have to become more selective in what you eat by avoiding these two nasty ingredients - which are in more foods than you probably care to know. Don��t always listen to your mate. I��ve already suggested that you tell your family - but sometimes members of your family will try to dissuade you from trying to lose weight. It��s simple: they might not want you to succeed where they may have already failed, whether consciously or inadvertently. Your loss is not always their gain. Watch out for statements like: ��You��ve lost enough weight.�� or ��I like you just the way you are.�� Fact of the matter is, if YOU don��t like the way that YOU are - then YOU are going to have to do something about it, no matter what anybody says. They still love you, though (in theory). Don��t compare yourself to others. Every body is different. It stands to reason that everybody will lose weight differently. Even if you do the exact same things that I do, you won��t lose weight at the same rate. The key is in finding your triggers. Keep your goal in sight, and do whatever you have to do to meet that goal. When you start looking at someone else��s habits, you��re only going to become discouraged and quit without even realizing that it��s physically impossible to be anybody but yourself. Women aren��t men. It��s been proven that men can lose weight more rapidly than women can, which is likely due to our physiological makeup (women are supposed to have more fat than men, because they��re the birthing gender). This isn��t a sexist statement to make - it��s pretty much the truth. As such, females should expect to set separate goals than males - especially if you��re working on losing weight together, side by side. Take a magic pill. Nonsense! There is no such thing as a magic pill. Don��t fall victim to the hype of the latest fat-burning drug commercial. If you listen or read closely, you��ll see that every single one of these things is effective when combined with proper diet and exercise (which they even state in their advertisements). The side-effects for these drugs are usually worse than your additional weight, anyway. Vitamins are good for you. If you��re going to take any pills, let them be natural supplements (like Essential Fatty Acids or multivitamins). Be careful about overdoing it, though - especially with herbal remedies. Too much of anything is a bad thing. You can consult a nutritionist, but always buy on your own - and keep these supplements to a minimum. Remember, too, that specific vitamins are no good without specific minerals. Deck your desktop. In the beginning, some of my friends sent me complicated spreadsheets to help chart progress. Uh, no - not for me; I��m the kind of guy who likes taking the easy route. As such, I scoured the Web for the best desktop tool and remembered CalorieKing. You won��t find anything easier to use. Trust me, this is the one; I can keep track of everything I eat and expend (without hassle). While the statistic-addicts will love CalorieKing for its thoroughness, the utility was truly designed with non-geeks in mind. The CalorieKing Web site and service are fine on their own, but the downloadable client is what you really want to get. Pay the registration fee, man - how much is your health worth to you? Identify your ideal weight. If you��re 5��5�� with a certain build, there��s an ideal weight that matches your body type. Find it - and make that your goal. And if you don��t know what that might be, try searching the Web for a calculator (though results and calculations will vary by a small margin). Now you have a weight goal to shoot for. Consider the source. I��m going to make a gross generalization here, but�� why would I trust an overweight doctor or nutritionist to give me proper advice on weight loss? ��Do as I say and not as I do�� is not a maxim I��m willing to accept from anybody who would be qualified to tell me how to do something. Talk to people who are doing it, or who have done it and been successful. You don��t have to mirror their regimen, but at least you��re getting help from someone who��s really been there. Or, as they said in the Christmas episode of ��Two and a Half Men,�� people who live in fat asses shouldn��t throw waffles. Ignore Ronald McDonald. You don��t have to eliminate fast food completely, but you should avoid it at all costs. Most of it is nasty, bad stuff anyway - if you��d even go as far as to call it food. If you��re looking for convenience, find a more convenient meal source. Besides, most of what they serve would be considered ��food product,�� not food. There��s a gigantic difference as far as your body is concerned. Your bloodstream does not have taste buds, need I remind you? Scale up. If your measurement tool sucks, upgrade it. If it��s analog, dump it. I��ve talked to many geeks about their choice in scales, and most of them (myself included) recommend something in the Tanita family. They��re high-quality, rugged, accurate devices. Make sure you set your scale on a hard surface, too (as carpet foundations do not make for accurate weight measurements). Watch your weight. Some people say that you shouldn��t weigh yourself more than once a week. I��ve been much happier charting my progress every day. No matter what, you need to weigh in at the same time, every time. For me, that��s 10am every morning (or somewhere thereabout). If you decide to weigh yourself every single day, understand that your weight will fluctuate by one or two pounds - and that you should only keep a serious eye on the lengthier trends. One pound a week. If you��re not losing at least one pound a week on your chosen weight loss regimen, you��re (a) stalled, or (b) finished. You might need to push yourself even harder, or (in some cases) let up a little bit while your body plays catch-up. If you lose more than one pound a week, then you��re doing better than average. Expecting to lose five pounds a week just isn��t realistic, though. Maintain your priorities. Sure, your sandwich would taste amazing with an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise�� but do you really need it? Rather, is it more important for you to reach your weight loss goal quicker - or have this sandwich taste marginally better? What��ll happen the next time you��re faced with this decision - will you cave again? It��s a slippery slope; don��t lose sight of what��s most important to you. All weight is not equal. Muscle weighs more than fat, but the last thing you want to lose is muscle! For this reason alone, it��s important to have a regular exercise routine somewhere in your schedule. Without exercise, your body is going to burn through muscle first - and you��ll wind up more imbalanced than you were to begin with. You want your body to burn fat, not muscle. You want to lose weight, but you want to lose ��fat�� weight - not muscle mass. Counteract the ��Rainy Day�� principle. If you decrease your calorie count without necessarily increasing your physical activity level, your body is going to crash. It��s going to say to itself: ��Holy sh*t! I better store these calories as fat, because I��m not getting enough of them - and I don��t want to die.�� When you exercise, you set your body��s process to ��burn�� instead of ��save.�� Don��t overdo it. If you change something in your lifestyle, you��re probably going to see results - but there��s a law of diminishing returns at play. You can exercise for an extra hour a day for a week and still lose the same amount as you had when you were only exercising half as much. Give your body time to adjust - don��t push yourself too hard or you��re just going to spend your energy on something that��s not necessarily going to give you immediate and direct benefit. This, of course, only applies to those of you wanting to lose fat - not for those who are training for a triathlon. Patterns are good. Once you��ve found your workout groove, do your best to stick with it. Exercise no less than three times a week for 40 - 60 minutes each time, but don��t feel the ��need�� to do it more than five times over a seven day period. Your body will likely appreciate a burn-off in the morning more, but if you need to relieve stress in the evening - don��t be afraid to adjust your workout schedule accordingly. Schedule making and keeping are important for other areas of your life as well. Sleep it off. To be an efficient fat-burning machine, your body requires at least eight hours of sleep a night. If you think that you��re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you��re mistaken. Give your body time to rest itself, both mentally and physically. Sleep is very, very important (if only for mental alertness for the following day). If you feel tired, that��s likely your body��s way of saying: ��Shut your eyes, stupid!�� Remember that the fork is not a shovel. I eat fast (I swear I can��t help it). Even if I��m not hungry, I want to shovel everything into my mouth in less than a minute. But my brain doesn��t know that my stomach is full until twenty minutes after it actually is. As such, I could stuff myself silly before realizing I didn��t need to consume as much as I did. Try eating half of what��s on your plate, wait ten minutes, then continue to eat if you��re still hungry. You never want to feel full - ever. That��s when you know you��ve eaten too much. If you want a real hunger-stopper, try an Omega 3 and Omega 6 supplement (EFAs) twenty minutes before a meal. Become your own snack fairy. It��s okay to snack between meals, really. Small meals throughout the day are enough to keep you satisfied, as (much like the sensation of being full) you never want to feel hungry. Let your body know it��s going to get a regular regimen of calories. Plus, if you starve yourself for the regular meals, you��re probably going to eat more before your brain tells your mouth to stop. Think about it: breakfast, lunch, and dinner are social constructs at their very core. Love the oil companies. Just like your car needs high-quality oil, so too does your body. Not all oils were created equal, though it��s hotly contested which ones are better for you than others. Personally, I love a good olive oil - it��s 100% natural and is rich with Omega 9 fatty acids. Enova is another one that we��ve found to work quite well in our lifestyle at home. Choose your oil wisely, though - your weight loss goal should be more than simply cosmetic. It��s a good rule of thumb when it comes to food: the more natural something is, the better it is for you. Fat is where it��s at. If you think you can lose weight and keep it off by avoiding all fats, you��re sadly mistaken. In fact, if you think that low fat eating is the only way to go, you might as well just quit now. Your body (and your brain) needs fat to survive! This is why the scientists call ��them�� essential fatty acids - Omegas 3, 6, and 9. These fats have been stripped from many supermarket shelf items, and it��s your responsibility to put fat back into your dietary plan. Don��t avoid eating fat, embrace it - equally. Bring balance to the force. If you eat the same foods over and over again, you��re going to get bored - unless they��re foods you really, really like. Feel free to change it up - keep your tongue happy. Balance carbs with proteins with fats, though. If you have more of one nutrient for one meal, try more of another nutrient for the next. And for heaven��s sake, don��t just shop in the ��diet�� section of the store. You can still (likely) eat the same things you��ve always eaten, just not so much of them at any one time. Know your daily calorie limit. When I was in the process of losing weight, it was suggested that I stay under 1700 calories a day. Knowing that number was half the battle. I could eat anything I wanted throughout the day, so long as I would stay at or beneath that number. While I couldn��t track 100% of the items I ate, I was able to make intake estimates - and adjust my schedule and ration my remaining calories accordingly. In this sense, you��re given extreme freedom - so long as you stay at or beneath that suggested calorie level for your plan. If you don��t know how much you��re supposed to take in, how are you supposed to know how much you��re supposed to take in?! Sounds redundant, but it��s a situation that many ��dieters�� are in (which is why they fail)! Fiber good. When you start to lose fat, you��re probably going to get constipated. Yeah, it happens more frequently than we care to admit (or share). You should have a good amount of fiber every day, anyway. Fiber is very important to your health (and your weight loss goals). Try the Metamucil snack wafers for a quick fiber infusion. Then, magnesium citrate for those�� ��stuck�� moments, in which you��ll find yourself from time to time. Stick a bottle or two of that in your fridge for safe keeping, and don��t plan on going anywhere for 24 hours after taking a dose (trust me, trust me, trust me). Walk the walk. You burn calories when you walk, did you know that? Certainly, you don��t expend as much energy as you do when you run, but you burn it nonetheless. Consider picking up a good pedometer, if only to gauge how many steps you take in the average day. According to others, the Omron HJ112 Premium Pedometer is the one to beat. If nothing else, knowing how many steps you take on the average day will give you a better idea as to your regular activity level - around the home and/or the office. Plus, you can count those steps as calorie deficits in certain programs (like CalorieKing). Train wrecks will happen. One of these nights, you��re going to go out with friends and eat your weight in steak (likely blowing any kind of progress you had made for that day). Instead of repeating the overindulgence, just put yourself back on track the next day. You��re allowed to ��mess up�� every now and again, so long as you don��t make a habit out of consuming an excessive amount of food. Right the dining injustice immediately. You��ll be okay. You��ll be fine. Just don��t do it again. And again. And again. And again. Satisfy cravings with extreme prejudice. If you��re hungry for something, eat it. Don��t deny yourself the simple pleasures. If it��s possible, eat only half of what you want. Is your craving satisfied, or are you addicted to the flavor? Losing weight shouldn��t be torture for anybody. You have to ask yourself: Is it more important for me to eat this entire case of fudgesicles, or to look good for my brother��s wedding? Only you have the answer to that question, and if you ignore logic, you��re going to hurt yourself in the long-run. Just take a nibble or two - I won��t tell a soul. Water you waiting for? If you��re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation - quench it. If you��re not hydrated, your body won��t be working at peak levels. Most of your body happens to be water, by the way. If you��re worried about ��water weight,�� remember that you��re likely to retain more water when you��re not giving your body enough of it in the first place. Besides, that��s what those workout sessions are supposed to help with every other morning. I��m not going to dictate how many glasses you should drink, though - as that��s going to vary from person to person. Join the soda club. Like most people, I love carbonated beverages. However, unlike most people, I love unflavored carbonated beverages - and if your tongue is attune to sugary-sweet drinks, you��re also the kind of person who believes that club soda tastes salty (even when it contains no sodium). Make the move to an unflavored drink sooner rather than later. If you need help along the way, lemons and limes can be your best friends. If you��re going to drink something more than water, at least make sure it��s not going to hinder your progress. If you��re a sugary-soda drinker, dropping it from your daily routine altogether will help you drop ~5 or more pounds in a single week (WITHOUT doing anything else). Sugar is evil that tastes good. You probably don��t want to hear this, but sugar is a bad thing. The more refined it comes, the more your body is going to react negatively to it. Sugar, sugar, sugar is in everything, everything, everything. If it��s sweet, it��s got sugar in it. There are all sorts of sugars out there, and all of them are ultimately metabolized by the body. It��s a good bet that the sugars in an apple are better for you than the sugars in a candy bar, though. If you��re addicted to sugar, this is going to be a horrible hurdle to overcome. Sugar substitutes are just as evil as sugar itself. Do you really think your body knows how to handle something that was man-made? Seriously. These chemically-adjusted products do not occur in the wild; there are no Splenda trees in warmer climates, nor are there NutraSweet plants in the Arctic. In some instances, taking in sugar substitutes may actually increase your levels of hunger! Let��s not forget about all the health issues that might arise from these unnatural substances. If you��re given a choice, it��s almost better to go with something your body knows how to deal with (real, unprocessed sugar). No, it��s much safer (and healthier) to stay away from blue, pink, and yellow packets entirely. Do a Web search for ��Artificial Sweeteners May Damage Diet Efforts.�� Then sit there and tell me they��re okay? No way. White bread can��t jump. Did you know that white bread isn��t good for you? Oh, it��s true - just ask any diabetic. Research has shown that people who eat more refined products (like white bread) are more likely to have belly fat. Why? It��s simple: your body isn��t getting what it needs. The food industry isn��t the health industry, okay? You can��t trust that they��ve got your best interests at heart (despite all their marketing efforts). If you want the flavor of white bread, please eat the whole grain white bread instead? Sara lee makes a wonderful loaf, as I can personally attest (even though I like rye more than white or wheat). Repeat after me: whole grain white bread, whole grain white bread. Hasta la pasta, baby. Much like its cousin, white bread, refined pasta can damage your health and pinch your weight loss plans. I��m not saying you should quit pasta altogether, but I will suggest that you change your pasta pusher to Barilla. They have a new wheat pasta that��s a dead ringer for the ol�� crappy white stuff you used to eat. ��Barilla PLUS�� is absolutely fantastic, as well as a good source of fiber and protein. You��re usually going to be better off with a ��wheat�� option, although traditional wheat pasta has a texture that you might not like (even though I find it perfectly acceptable to my palate). Now, once you��ve achieved your weight loss goals, what are you going to do to keep the fat at bay? The worst thing you can do is something I��ve done countless times over: get lazy. I��ve conveniently forgotten about all of the aforementioned rules a few times, and it��s put me back in the same situation I don��t want to be in - ever again. While I don��t have to be as careful as I was during the weight loss period, I��m still measuring myself and recording my daily activities. This may turn into a weekly weigh-in soon enough, as it��s easier to correct yourself at 5lbs than it is at 50lbs. Good luck!

First off, you shouldn t be concerned with your weight. You should be concerned with your BMI (yours is about 26, which is average) and body fat percentage. Lean mussel weighs a lot more than fat, so someone that weighs more than you might actually be thinner.Cut out as much fat as you can and eat lean meats (fish and chicken). Don t just do cardio. You need some resistance training as well. Wight lifting can boost your metabolism by as much as 40%.

Lots of cardio, toning with free weights and eating lean, salmon, fish, salad with walnuts, orange juice, no sodas.

No need to lose weight just tone up I guess.... do some pilates 3 times per week! and of course not too much junk food ;)

I would think a healthy diet (more fruits and veggies) and exercise. Drink water too.

:O DONT BECOME ANEROXIC!You seriously don t need to lose weight!!! When I was at the age of twelve I was 5 3 and weighed 120 pounds. I was perfectly skinny if you need a picture for proof. I think its unbeliveable these days, Stick to what you look like and who you are. (:God bless you ; Best of Wishes-Tori.P.S.I hope this helped!!!!! :D

Fast for two or three days right before your photo shoot. You don t need to loose weight, but that s the best way I know to look thinner.

I ve been on diet pills, worked out in the afternoon in the gym, eat small meals...and I ve lost weight. But it takes time and patience. But you can do it, I believe in you.

Just watch what you eat (that doesn t mean you can t eat though. just eat healthier)) and work out 3-4 times a week.

eat healthier and excercise, but don t take it to the extreme. Get about 10 min. of rest each day, and do cardio 3 times a week. Ur lucky i have health right now. If you need cardio ideas, Seventeen.com has some ideas

WHO CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

if you think you look fine which you probably are you shouldnt have to just to be photograph have pride in yourself

running works best. just a mile or two a day

so why do you have to lose weight? Just smile...if your being photographed. simple.

alright fatty it is impossoble to get to under 120 punds in less then a month but simply diet and excersize look on he back of food lables and read the nutirition facts no throwing up though that is bad if u r going to have enrgy drinks make sure u drink alot of water or u ll get kidney desease

Water water water once u drink half ur weight in onces then get dark heavy clothes and go running then you will lose more weight cause theres more sweat!Good Luck Always~*Tootles*~

u are perfect weight =)

You re thin. What you need is to excersice. By toning your body,not only you ll look thiner,but also you ll get lifting in certain areas,if you catch mhy drift.

Drink lots of water, get lots of exercise, eat less. Just eat, but not too much. Don t starve yourself.

don t eat much and exercise. I girl ur height should weigh 115-120 lbs.

you are ten pounds above a scientific book on weight loss s idea of the healthiest possible weight in proportion to your height

The best thing to lose weight is running. Treadmill or outside.. make sure you start slow.. half mile.... work yourself to 2 miles a day. You will be amazed. Also while you do this you will get hungry. Eat some fruit. No junk food. Good Luck

130 is not bad for 5 5....If you wanna lose weight, do it healthy. Juts cut down on the foods you eat. Do not stop eating for a whole day. For example, instead of eating two cookies, eat only one. And exercise!You shouldnt be any less then I would say about 115...so good luck!

why do you need to lose weight? thats so dumbtry cutting the carbs and drinking loads of water

Drink lots of water and do sit-ups and crunches. Running or jogging helps alot. Figure out a routing that works with you and keep doing it for a month. Don t become too skinny or it looks really weird. I would say only lose about 10-15 pounds tops!!!

Exercise is key

start running and just be fit ....get out and get active

My dad ate only crackers and drank only milk and lost a lot of weight before. You still get a lot of the needed nutrients, but get full faster from the crackers. You can eat any different kinds.

eat healthier and exersise

dnt eat snacks an excersise alot but not fast, like walk dnt run very fast because instead as soon as you stop you ll get really overweight! So just take it slow!plz ansa my ?..http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;��

According to your BMI (23.7), you are within the normal range for weight. You don t have to worry about losing weight, so long as you don t keep gaining it, you will be fine. BMI of 25 is overweight, so just watch what you eat and when you eat it.But if you still want to lose some weight, here are some FAST tips:-don t eat after 8-do drink a lot (repels toxins and excess fat)-do at least 1-2 hours of exercise (not just walking, either, like really train and tone your body to be fit)-stay away from fast foods!-chocolate=NO, NO!-stay away from carbonated drinks like Coke, they are full of sugar!-don t watch tv while you eat, it s been proven that if you do watch while you eat, you are still going to be hungry after you finish your meal. So you re going to eat more! -put your fork/knife down between each bite-PROVEN! saw it on tv, it helps people who want to lose weight-get smaller plates-PROVEN! that way, you can have smaller portions of food a day-choose lean meats like chicken or turkey over pork or beef-stay away from salty foods-salads are excellent!-so are fruits-set a realistic goal (very important) and keep a log of your progress during your diet so you can feel encouraged!-get a friend to do this with you so you re not alone** MOST IMPORTANTLY:after you lose the weight, do NOT go back to your old habits! if you do, you will gain the weight back! not only that, but you will be even heavier than before the diet and the next time you try to lose it again, it s going to a lot harder.:) good luck!

okay well there is really no easy way... what i do is just JOG for about 45 mins each day before i go to school...and then every monday and friday i RUN a mile. u will have to drop the junk food and eat healthy(fruit is good but other things to)...and when i say drop i mean drop...because he you think your only going to take one little bite your wrong because you are going to want more...i also joined a dance class at the gym. or you can just go to the gym for about a hour everyday... i did this and i lost all the weight i wanted in about two months... but let me tell you its not going to be easy...so u cant just give up wen it gets hard... swim is good to..GOOD LUCK!!!!

Ok her is a secret that nobody can know about....The answer to ultimate weight loss.Burn more calories then you take in.High fiber, forget that low carb crap. Cut out the soda and snacks and drink water and eat fruit. Try the gym. I lost 15lbs in 2 weeks doing this. Dont listen to all the other diet experts out there.

to lose 2 pounds in one week you either have to burn 1000 calories a day, or eat 1000 calories less than you need to maintain your weight.go running.. this is the best, or dancing. if you have DDR, play that, it burns loads of calories.drink water before each meal because then you wont eat as much.I just hear this from other people..

Weight loss tips and/or ideas? -

okay well i am only 14. But i know for a fact i am over weight. i am ,sadly, 185 pounds. i am not happy at all with my appearance. many of you may say i am not done growing but as a teenage girl this can be very hard and it is more than a bother. I hope to god that by the end of this year, towards the summer, i will be able to work out to the best of my ability, in order to lose atleast 10 pounds or so. i was wondering if any of you had some tips, or some goals i can set in order to be successful this time around.

Well i had the same problem three months ago i weighed about 190 pounds and now i weigh 169 pounds. . . . ..drink alot of water and try not to eat any fast food and never eat fried food just grilled and try signing up for a sport or just play one with your friends. Tell your parents to buy you grape fruits and every morning use a juicer and scweez all the juice out of the grape fruit and drink it. Trust me it works! Another thing is put a plastic bag over your stomach and you will sweat like hell! While you have that on try 25 situps and run laps. E-mail me if this works
