I m 14 and weigh 125 pounds... I have a a bit of flab around my stomach, plus side handles, which makes me look absolutely horrible in anything clingy. Having as much extra weigh as I do REALLY makes my self esteem go down... I swim and go to the gym almost daily, plus eat healthy, but I don t seem to be losing any weight. I ve been doing this for two months now. Does anyone have ideas on how I can lose the flab in my abdomen area?

Well here are some tips that helped me..if its raining and u cant go for a walkjump rope for 30mins during your fav. tv show. have a break during the commercialsif you go for 30mins that equals an hour of walking!have 2 glasses of water 10 mins before you eat and 2 right before you do.youll eat a lot less!get plenty of sleep - No sleep means food = fat = flab!!i dont know why it just does!exercise in the morning nor do i know why but its better for you AND gets u up and going for the daydo like leg, arm, bum, tummy toning exercises before bed and as soon as you wake up to keep you tonedthats all i can think of right now.i really hope it helpsand good luckif you make drastic changes and still no weight losssee a doctor.best wishes!

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 19 inches in 9 days. I continued and lost 29 pounds in a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc��. These toxins enter our bodies and get stored in our fat cells. To shrink the fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. My skin has improved from the cleansing. It is pricey but worth it! I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss.

How to lose weight off your legs this summer.? -

this summer i want to lose weight off my legs. im 12 years and i have a Curve in my upper leg and im trying to look go for middle school. SO PLEASE HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!

Talk to your parents about this. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body. Vary your routines. Don t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn t adjust to any one routine.An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.

Wear a Slendertone Flex Abs Belt will be a proof of your sensible choice. You can wear it anytime anywhere you feel convenient to lose weight. It has been the best choice of overweight boys and girls , hope you will also find useful.

I have been through it all and know what s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it s good for the heart.However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I ve found a great addition to help any one out, it s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it s the best pill I ve tried and I ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

I would say just do simple leg exercises, such as squats, one legged squats once your legs get stronger and leg extentions... (sit down on a chair and raise your legs up straight and hold it). That ll do your toning and make your legs look great!So shed off that extra fat, go for some long walks or quick runs every couple of days! (that will not only make you loose weight on your legs, but every wheres else too!)

gogle it because the other answers are bullshit i need to do the same also

How to lose weight on the calf? -

What kind of exercise will help lose some calf muscles? I currently swim and jog but doesn t seem to help much.

Jogging will certainly increase the size of your calf. Being a runner myself, I notice my calves are fairly well developed despite not hitting them very much at the gym. Swimming should be fine however as that tends to be an upper body exercise.Remember, you cannot spot reduce -- if that was the case, all those ab machines you see hawked on tv would really give you six-pack abs. You can certainly tone the area by doing calf exercises, but anything short of plastic surgery isn t going to reduce the size of your calves.Other things to consider:Examine your weight. If you are heavier, you may need to lose body weight (some of which will come off your calf). Also, wearing high heels could also be making your calf more muscular and hence bigger. Genetics: perhaps you are predisposed to large calves, in which case there isn t a whole lot you can do.Good luck.

anyone tried massage? Report Abuse

You re only making them bigger with that...don t do anything. Believe me, I tried all that, and it only made my calves bigger, now I can t even zippen up my boots all the way.

How to lose weight in an apartment? -

I am homeschooled and I have recently become overweight. I am about 5 0 at 136 pounds. We live in an apartment and I can t really go around much in this neighborhood. There have been some crimes recently and we live next to a train station and a highway. My parents won t take me to a gym and we don t really go much anywhere. My dad SOMETIMES takes me to go on a bike ride, but that s once in a blue moon. I need to lose weight. I am only a kid, so I don t know how to exercise. I used to be really active and skinny, but ever since we moved here, I can t do much. Please help. Don t bother and waste my time if you have insults or ridiculuous idiotic things to say. Only people who want to help me. My idea to lose weight would be about 20 to 30 pounds, and I want a six pack. Please help. Any ideas of how to lose weight accepted, except insults.

Apartments.com has a great area of their website you ll probably like a lot. Apartment Living has tons of exercise articles, check this one out.Working Out in Your Apartment Turn your apartment into a fitness factory! You don��t even need to buy a home gym!Depending on your goals and preferences, you might want to buy one, or more, of the following items:Jump rope (high intensity cardio) Mini-trampoline (mid-intensity cardio) Exercise DVD (for those who like guidance and motivation) Free weights or an exercise band (strength training) Exercise ball (core strength) These items are inexpensive and can add to your workout but they��re really not necessary. Read on for tips on improvising and creating your own routine.Cardiovascular ExerciseThis type of exercise increases your heart rate and tones your muscles. Here are some suggestions:Jog in place and do jumping jacks. Jump rope (start slowly as this is very high intensity). If you have stairs, run up and down or use only the bottom step to jump on and off, using both feet. Do old-fashioned aerobics (think 80��s dancing). Aim for at least 20 minutes and make sure your heart rate is elevated. For a more effective calorie-burning routine, alternate five minutes of cardio with one of the strength exercises below until you��ve worked every muscle group. This is called circuit training and should keep your heart rate elevated. When your heart rate remains high throughout your exercise time, you burn more calories. Strength TrainingCompliment your cardio routine with strength training. Strength exercises are necessary for a complete workout. Building muscle raises your resting metabolic rate, which means you burn more calories throughout the day. If you aren��t into the big and bulky muscle builder look, don��t worry about it. It��s pretty much impossible for you to get that way without incredibly intense training and supplements. Follow this full-body plan 2-3 days a week for the best results.Arms - You can either purchase an exercise band (about $10 at a retail store), free weights (prices very by weight) or fill up a milk carton with water or sand until it reaches your desired weight. Do 12-20 repetitions of bicep curls, tricep dips and shoulder raises.Chest - Get on the floor and do some old fashioned pushups��as many as you can do without losing your form. Start on your knees if you��re a beginner. Also do a press with your band or weights. Lie on the floor and hold a weight in each hand. Lift them straight over your chest and lower slowly. (12-20 reps)Back - Stand with your feet hip-width apart and bend forward. Grasp a weight, or a weighted object, in each hand and hold your arms out in front of you with a bend in your elbow. Use your back muscles to lift the weights to shoulder length and lower slowly. (12-20 reps)Legs Squats - Stand up straight with your back against the wall and bend your knees until they are almost parallel with the floor. (12-20 reps)Lunges - Stand with one foot 2-3 feet in front of the other. Bend both legs as low as you can without allowing your front knee to go over your toes. Keep your back straight the entire time. (12-20 reps)Abs - Do 25-50 traditional crunches on the floor. Lie on the floor and put your hands behind your head gently. Lift your head up, not forward and focus your eyes in front of you. Hold in your stomach muscles the entire time and breathe after every crunch.Toning/FlexibilityEvery workout needs a stretching component so that your well-toned muscles can look their best��and not cramp up at work the next day. There are myriads of different stretches but here are a few you can do to keep limber:Purchase a stretching video: Dim the lights and make it a relaxing experience. Do yoga: This can be a workout in itself. Look for a book or video on hatha yoga, the style that focuses on stretching poses. Recall your basketball team days: The warm-up and cool-down exercises you did as a high school athlete are still useful today.Now don��t you feel better? Try to get in a workout 4-5 days a week to really notice a change in your body and energy level. Now your only problem is the neighbors below you��be courteous and workout during daytime hours so that you��re not getting angry knocks on your door mid-crunch!

well do lots of situps and control the amount and type of food you consume. if you eat a lot of junk food then you will definatly need to stop, also try eating smaller portions of food, dont fill your plate but dont starve yourself because no one wants to have bad emotional issues over weight. besides your not that bad. i am five feet tall and i weigh 135.

all these are really good ways to lose weight.. also try jogging in place. back in high school i used to do this every night before bed, and it really helped. just take about an hour bed and do some situps, pushups, and run in place (i m not sure if this is a good amount of time because i m not a health expert.. if an hour isn t healthy, someone please correct me.).. increase your workout every week, and remember to keep at it and don t give up.. you ll see results i promise.and remember to eat healthy.. your parents will help you with this part i m sure.

Get a step counter they really work. Go for walks in the apartment at every tv comercial. You can do sit ups at night before bed and it even tires you to help you sleep better. Also reduce portions at dinner that is the meal you metabolize the worst. Cereal for breakfast not waffles. No coco puffs. Reduced fat milk or skim if you can pull it off with the parental units. And get a few hand weights you can buy them for about 10 bucks at walmart or you can use 1 gallon water bottles. They weigh 8 pounds each. Use those for curls. And of course Red Fox said it best on Sanford and Son why don t you stand in front of the police station and yell You ll never take me alive PS this advice came from a 350 pound fat guy so good luck.

It s possible no one has offered any suggestions because you start right out with being a bit rude and insulting... just the way you asked not to be treated. You might want to consider that before asking for help on other things.You don t say how large your apartment is, but maybe your parents can buy you some weights. I would suggest 3 lbs, 5lbs, 10 lbs 15 lb weights to start. Then get on the internet and find some sites that show you how to properly lift weights (will not gain unattractive large muscles with this kind of weight training). I would also suggest doing core work/crunches... lots of them. There are many differnt ones that work different abdominal muscles. There are also sites that will show you the proper way to do those. If you have room for a stationary bike, maybe you could find one that isn t too expensive. It doesn t take up much room, and you can get some good cardio exercise with a bike. Start out doing 20 mins, then gradually increase the time. (less than 20 mins won t do you much good). Of course you can NOT lose weight with just diet alone. You have to watch what you eat. Don t starve yourself, just watch your portions sizes, and eat healthy foods (not junk food). I m not an expert, but I m in the gym every day and do weight training with a trainer, so my suggestions come from experience. A link below should help. Can t find all I ve seen before. This one provides some little videos that will help with some exercises. There s a section for crunches as well. Hope this helps.

How to lose weight super fast!? -

I need to lose weight for summer I m 15 and i eat really healthy like fruit and veg everyday and no chocolate or anything...its not working though so....????

you should eat at least 4-5 meals a day.drink lots of water, and eat regularly. don t starve yourself, because once you start eating again, you ll gain everything back, trust me.eat lots of fruits and veggies, and if you eat bread, make sure it s whole grain. white bread is pretty fattening. you can also eat lean meats, like fish, turkey and chicken breast. eggs also help when trying to lose weight.skip out on sweets, candy, sugary foods, chips, ice cream, cake, and cookies.if you feel hungry, but don t want to over eat, chew gum. it ll keep your mouth busy and it tricks yourself into thinking your eating.cut out ALL soda! if you stop drinking soda, it helps you out a lot!and don t forget to exercise!try walking, jogging, jump rope, dancing, crunches, bike riding and swimming. try exercising for 45-80 minutes a day.good luck!

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also.2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it��s hard, that��s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.Source(s):ok i didnt write this but i copied and pasted the words but i just put it in number order and made it easier to read.

One of the most powerful diet pills on the market is the Acai Berry. It has amazing vitamins and anti-oxidents and is even considered a super food. It is so amazing that it has been featured on Oprah and 60 minutes. When used in conjunction with the proper diet and exercise, people have lost over 40lbs in a matter of weeks.

do not starve yourself!!!!!!!!!! that man should be shot for saying that to a 12 year old! how tall are you? if you want to know how much you SHOULD weigh, you can google search a BMI calculator. it matches your height to how much you should weigh. now, if your looking to drop a quick 10 pounds, you can go on the slim-fast diet. but, the thing with that diet is you drop 5-10 pounds in like 2 weeks, but you gain it back just as fast. another good program that i did when i was 12 was weight watchers. i lost about 20 pounds on that. you should consider that. thats probably the best way to go at your age. best of luck!!!

Eat healthy and try supplements.

you need to be exercising as well, try walking and swimming or find a sport that you enjoy :)good luck

Eat fibre food, walk and workout. avoid icecream and sweets

How to lose weight without gaining muscle? -

I m trying to lose weight but I also need to be careful. What I mean by that is.. I m trying to get a feminine, delicate figure. It s hard to get that when you re my height (5 10 ). I m not fat but I m not skinny either. I hate my body so much.Is there any way I can get that kind of body by exercising? Is it even possible to do it without gaining muscle? Will running give me big leg muscles? Please help me and answer if you can xoxo

Please don t listen to these anorexic people telling you to throw up. If you want to lose weight just eat less and exercise more. Don t be afraid of building muscle. Muscle is what gives your body curves and shape. Without muscle you would be all skin and bones. Start working out with weights. Good luck.

Well, losing weight involves cardio, and no matter what, you will gain muscle. However, what makes the muscles bulky after working out is lack of stretching. Make sure you stretch before and after a workout, not only will you improve flexibility, but you will also get that lean, more feminine muscle tone to your body. Trust me, a lean body with no muscle is not what you want. To look soft and feminine, the skin around your muscles should be firm and to achieve that you must tone your body and STRETCH! Hope this helps!

The less you eat the better hun! Always make sure and burn more cals than you eat and never EVER go over 250 cals in a day! If you have to eat, throw it up before it makes you fat! I lost soooo much weight and i am happy now!
