Any ideas on how to lose weight? -

Ok, im overweight some, and i need to lose some weight. Any ideas on how i might do so effectivly? Im 15 by the way, and yes, i actually am over weight. Im not some skinny little size 3 girl who thinks she is overweight. I just need ideas on how to lose this extra flub.

drink water, excersise, and greatly reduce your intake of food. eat until your not hungry anymore(not till your completly full) and eat slowly. you can also start a sport...its a fun way to excersise instead of boring walking

when you figure out tell me. and i know you are not really gonna read all of the first answer you got. god help us all.

I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there s also the Jojo-effect.The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That s an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn t that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?More infomation the link: --http://www.loseweighthappy.info/index.php?option=com_content task=view id=187 Itemid=62Keep on doing your thing.Take care,:-)
