My BMI says that Im overweight. Can anybody give me some ideas on how to lose weight? -

I have no prior experience to losing weight.I am 5 1 tall.I am mostly fat around the thigh and tummy area.I can t tell my parents because they ll plan everything for me, and this is something I need to do on my own.

If you don t exercise, start a bit of aerobic exercise (jogging/running). Start out with 20-30 minutes 3 times a week, if you can.If you drink regular soda, switch to diet. And you can try to do sit ups or ab exercises.I don t know your body type/fitness level/healthiness, but you may want to tell you parents about your desire to lose a bit of weight. They could probably plan more healthy lunches/dinners at home, or even get you a gym membership so you could use weights/machines to work out.And remember, you re already perfect the way you are! The rest is just meaningless details. ;)

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50% veg, 25% carb, 25% protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit (ideally berries) or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like. get a pedometer and take 10,000 steps everyday. try trampoline. 5 min on a tramp = 30 min on a treadmill. Kickboxing is also great for the stomach area.

exercise for the muscles in your tummy research it on the internet.

Hi,ok here are the top 10 tips to weight loss!1. Make small goals. It is easy to dream about a slender body and make that your goal. This goal does however often end in disappointment. It is better to make many small goals on the way. This way it is easier to reach your goals and you feel that you are making progress which makes it easier to stick to a diet.2. Avoid junk food: Avoid eating fast food and other junk food. It��s fattening and doesn��t help you lose weight. If you absolutely must eat fast food, give yourself one meal a week when you are allowed to eat fast/junk food.3. Avoid fried food: Don��t eat fried food but rather grill or boil your food. Avoid using extra fat. .4. Eat Breakfast: Eating breakfast helps getting the metabolism started. You are also less likely to snack if you eat a good breakfast. .5. Eat fish and chicken: fish and chicken is low on fat and can make an excellent weight loss diet. Avoid fat fishes. A good cheap weight loss fish is Tilapia. .6. Start drinking water: Soda and juice contains a lot of calories. Drink water and safe a lot calories. .7. Start taking walks: Walking one or two times a day isn��t to hard but can help you lose weight faster. All other forms of physical activities are also good. .8. Eat often: eating many well planned low calorie meals a day helps you keep from snacking and make you feel less hungry. .9.
