Im 14, .. is this healthy ? -

Ok , so I m 14 and around 250 pounds .. give or take . I m about 5 7-5 8 .. I know my weight isn t healthy one but I m starting to work on it .. I go to school and walk up stairs everyday .. so how much weight could I lose from now - February or March ? and will it be a healthy weight loss ?

Walking up the stairs is a good start, but you should walk 1-2 hours every day. Go to my pyramid, I m providing a link, enter your weight and other stats, and Good Luck!

Well you gave no information on exactly how much you exercise, but just taking the stairs everyday isn t enough. You need to control your diet and stay away from fast foods, grease, junk food, etc. Also eat frequent small portions, rather than one big meal per day. Make time for easy exercises like sit ups and light jogging for about a mile or two a day. How much weight you lose depends on how strict of a diet and exercise plane you make for youself.

It s going to take a LOT more than just walking up and down the school steps to become healthy. Try jogging, sit ups, push ups, treadmill, and other activities to help lose weight. Also, begin a healthy diet if you haven t done so already, and maintain it. There s this website released several years ago called www.mypyramid.com, it gives specific details based on your age, weight, and amount of physical activity to become and stay healthy.

Lose the weight now, before you get any older so you do not have stretch marks and loose skin and miss the supposedly healthiest years of your life. Walking upstairs isn t enough. Start by walking 30 minutes everyday until you can get it to a run. Then start adding other exercise to your routine. Never touch fast food again. Survive solely on fruits and vegetables (you can eat as much of that as you want) and unbreaded fish, no treats. No bread, no cereal. One treat is a slippery slide to many treats. Ask your mom to get you these things. Explain the benefits. If you are female your target weight is 130-145, depending on your build, breast size, etc. If you are male it is 145-170. In three months you could healthily lose, at the most, 50 pounds. Good luck!

Like many people world wide you are at an unhealthy weight, how much you loose per week is really up to you. I would say the first 2-3 weeks are the hardest. Most people say 1-2 lbs a week is healthy, I know I ve lost more in a week but it depends on you and how much your willing to push your self. check out thedailyplate.com / armstrong.com. They will allow you to track your calories consumed and burned, as well as talk to other people who are trying to loose weight. I also recently bought a book by jillian from the biggest looser its for burning off the last few lbs some intense workout circuits in there. You have made the first step, now the next few will be the hardest after that a healthy eating and exercise become a way of life. On average 3 hours of exercise a week will maintain a healthy weight, 5 will cause a weight loss. You could reasonably loose anywhere from 30-50lbs if your willing to keep up with it.

ok im 15 and lost +30 pounds over the summer. i went from 236 to 203.try not to eat potato, rice, bread, pasta, and SODA. its ok to eat these a few times, but i recommend; brown rice- sweet potato- wholegrain pasta- and whole wheat bread. it may not taste good, but it will definately fill u up.walking around ur house or town wont do much. although it may be a little costly- join a gym. $45 for 1 month? may be a little costly, but its for ur healthuse the elliptical machine for 30-45 minutes. take ur ipodand walk on a treadmill with an incline.BIKING IS A WASTE OF TIME!! they will only burn 5 calories a minute- whereas ellipticals/treadmills 10+ calories a minute.try to burn 600 calories, yet eat only 1500 GOOD calories.600 calories could be burned by 1 hr on ellptical/treadmill, or even by playing sports with ur friends..dont expect to lose a lot fast! first 10 pounds will just fly off, after that it gets hardsitups-i havent seen any results on myselfDO A LOT OF PUSHUPS!!! 3 sets of 12, 3 times a daysugary drinks- waste of calories, drink water!!

what do you eat??i m afraid walking upstairs alone isn t going to cut it. you have to work out. walk around the neighborhood, jog a bit. lift wieghts. cut out all soda, fruit juices, sugary drinks. start eating vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low fat meats like chicken and fish and cut out some prepackaged processed foods and sugar.but yeah the main thing is get enough exsersise

well i dont noe why people always say dont go on a diet it not good for teenagers bullshit...im 14 too an i was 201 lbs two months ago and now im 110 and all i did was go crazy about not eating, i didnt eat breakfast , and wen i kame home 4rm skool i drank water, and watched tv and soon the hungry feeling became a stomac massach for me, oh and somtimees wen i felt lyk trating myself i ate half an apple well i hope i kould help and good luck

you BMI is about 39.2. 40 is considered morbidly obese and 30 or more is obese. How much you can loose in a certain time is an indivitual thing that cannot be determined until you do it-you definetly should try to loose some weight though.

2-4 lb per week would be okay on average, but if you exercise and eat right, at your height and weight it would be okay to lose more like 10 pounds per week for the first couple of weeks, then it should level out more.

Obesity. You re overweight. Going to school and walking up the stairs? That ll get you nowhere. You need diet and exercise. Or else you not going to get anywhere.

I m sorry, but walking upstairs everyday isn t enough.Join a running club..or just run on your own. Jump on a trampoline, do yoga..ect..Improve your diet, too.

impossible to tellif you eat a whole shitload then u may not lose anyif you eat right do more exercise then listed etc, maybe like 30-40 pounds?

just try walking more and not eating as much.you can loose a few pounds a week.good luck. (:

No! You are obeast! You need to loose 100 pounds!

you need to do more than walk up stairs.

I don t think it will make too much of a difference to be honest. You should try working out in addition.Good luck! :)
