in two months you should lose about 16 pounds healthy weight to lose just exerscise and eat healthy and you will see changes good luck
Vegetarian diet with restricted fats (ie watch cheeses and milks, use reduced fat or fat free) Cottage cheese is like pure protein and very good for the body. Don t fall for any low carb bs, turns out carbs are the key to losing weight because they take more calories to digest than fats, but complex carbs are the best. Lookup low glycemic index foods and stick to those, they are best for your blood sugar, keep you full longer and you can burn them faster than any other food which offers your body the chance to burn fat you already have stored. It takes HOURS AND HOURS of cardio to burn enough calories to equal a pound of fat. If you want the weight gone and off for good then for the workout start with about 15-20 minutes of cardio, to get your heart rate to about 180 as that is the fat burning number, and to keep your heart and lungs in check. Then lift weights. Weight train, lift a few reps here and there, if you cannot go to a gym lift gallon jugs filled with water (each one weighs about 7 lbs). Do lunges (I know, they re uncomfortable but they do wonders for the thighs, legs and back end. If you re too big there they tone, if you re too small there they tighten and give a more femenine look- I am assuming you are a girl btw). Do crunches, situps, pilates, yoga and weight train. These are all low intensity but have the best results. Then after your workout, do a cool down with an additional 5-10 minutes of cardio (walking or cycling)... Drink plenty of water and eat 6 small meals (of the good stuff I talked about earlier) and you will watch the pounds melt away. Oh yeah, and weight training (building muscle) increases collagen production for your skin so you wont get any floppy arms or stomach issues you see on extreme makeover... Hope this helps, it worked for me all throughout highschool and also helped keep my asthma under control, as well as kept me energetic (and I personally think it helped with my adhd)... LOLhave fun most of all. 5 7 with 147 lbs isn t big, unless you have no breasts, but keep in mind anything stressful you do on your body now at 14 (like starve yourself [never eat less than 1000 calories a day, you ll ruin your metabolism and be fat later in life]) will affect your body s natural maturization, and you don t want to be flat chested later in life, so just stay healthy, and eat plenty of protein and calcium to keep your hair and nails healthy and your height steady growing (if you re 5 7 at 14 you re probably going to be 5 9 or more as an adult)
