How to lose weight (14 yrs, 510quot;)? -

Hey I m a 14 year old girl and about 155 pounds. I am 5 10 and very muscular and athletic but have started feeling really self conscious and want to lose 10-15 pounds. Any suggestions on how to lose weight?

cut out the junk food in ur diet, start eating more fruits and veggiesjust watch ur portion size too. just do cardio, go for a walk or run, go to the gym and go on the treadmill, do some swimming, or jump rope. there are so many different cardio activities, just read up on what they are and what you can do. good luck!

Well, since you say you are so muscular and athletic, you do know that muscle weighs more than fat right? the more muscle you gain the more you weigh even if you lose fat. but for losing weight, completely cut out soda s and go for water instead. cut down fast food to once a week if not less. (a soda with your fast food is ok but no refills, op for just one big one and enjoy it) try to eat a lot of whole/multi grain breads and pasta s instead of regular stuff. don t eat diet food, eat real food but just portion yourself. eat a lot of fruit as the natural sugars are better for you than what you get from sugary soda s and milkshakes and junk and will keep your energy up normally instead of a sugar induced glee. oh, and eat foods / take a vitamin supplement that has a lot of vitamin C in it. your body needs C more than most people would think. ~Drac

Wow, you do sound like you are at a great weight for your age and your height. And you re athletic. Muscular? Are you self-conscious about how you look, or about your actual body weight? Because you know that muscle weighs more than fat, and that weight (the muscular weight) is a good thing.I can tell you what NOT to do:- DO NOT Diet for a week-a month then go back to your natural habits.- DO NOT excercise intensely, non-stop until you can t even think.- DO NOT use any weight loss powders, pills, or promises (anything you are talked into paying for, they are all fake or very unhealthy for your body.)- DO NOT use colon cleanse. This can be harmful to your body.- DO NOT starve yourself (I m sure you already know that.)- DO NOT totally cut yourself off from foods you love. Proportion is the key. Treat yourself once in a while, in moderation.These things may help you:- ask your doctor. She/he will know how to help you, if you even need to lose weight. Your doctor will know that too.- Health teacher. They are there to teach you about health. Perfect.- Keep track of what you eat and how you excersize in a journal.- Keep up your athletic lifestyle. Good luck.

First of all, you are going through puberty so you are bound to gain weight easily.Your BMI is 22.2 * Underweight = 18.5 * Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 * Overweight = 25-29.9 * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greaterSo this is based on adults, not teenagers going through puberty.You are definitely a healthy girl and considering that you are muscular too, muscle weighs more than fat.If you want to loose weight, you definitely dont want to be loosing muscle, just fat so do expect to gain weight if you over exercise. Try exercising in the morning before breakfast and than waiting an hour before eating. never skip breakfast, This method really works for weight loss rather than at night.Breakfast should be your biggest meal because you havent eaten while you were sleeping so its important to refuel your body.Watch your portion control as well. A lot of people over eat, and eat when they are not hungry, but thirsty. Just keep doing what you are doing, love yourself for what you are. You are not fat, but a normal healthy tall girl :)

It doesn t sound like you need to loose any weight as you are a tall and growing girl. But if you wish to the best way is exercise and dieting.I find the best way to loose weight is to go for a 10 minute run three or four times a week and only eat when you actually feel hungry. Also drink lots of water as it detox s your body and makes you feel alot healthier

Muscle weighs more than fat which is why you might think you are too heavy. You are tall so you will naturally be slightly heavier than your friends, but please don t go on a diet, you re still growing and need all the vitamins and minerals that a healthy diet can provide. If you are really that concerned about your weight then see a doctor. You don t sound overweight to me.

Ok let me say this ive been overweight for a long time ive tried every diet out there...and NOTHING never lost a ounce... started a new diet 2 weeks ago and ive lost 9 1/2 lbs.... its a strict strict strict 1000 calorie diet... count EVERYTHING you put in your mouth, tea, pop, food, chips, candy, gum anything............ and dont go over, dont eat past 8pm and you will lose,... i never have exceresided so its possible just stick with it.

wii fit, a calorie counter or go o n youtube and type in 4 min cardiovascular workout, it worked for me if you do it every dayhope this helpsenclose a pic next time so we can judge if you actually have anything to worry about

First Of All Dont Starve Yourself Cause That Can Cause Serious Health ProblemsSecond, If You Eat About 2000 Calories A Day Try To Cut Back To About 1500 And Excersise So Your Body Will Use The Extra Calories In Your Fat As EnergyHope That Helped

Just eat healthier + Exercise everynight for about 30 minutes :)Hope i helped .Answer mine ?! (:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AudrXjOBLLOn7vo__RIEnMDsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091209132226AAKjQdJ

While you re at an ideal weight, I guess 10-15 isn t all that much. Keep exercising and eat fewer saturated fats. See your local nutrition facts labeling for details.

Try to eat like salads and no junk food for about a month

eat healthy!! :Dif you re really athletic.. well that s a start...sleep properly too hope this helps!
