HOw can i LOOSE weight? -

hi,I am fifteen, around 5 7 (though i think i may have grown a bit, and weigh in at about 68-69 kgs...but our scales have been broken for about 2 months so i m not sure how accurate that is:P I probably weigh more, so i really want to loose weight. I want to get to 63kgs, and want to be able to be confident about my body in P.E and when im playing sport. When i look in the mirror i dont think i look that bad but i do need to loose some weight. I want my BMI to be at 21 so i need some help! What can i do to get to my goal weight of 63kgs (loose maybe around 5kgs...or more depending on what my actual weight is)? I don t have access to a gym or have any money to spend on special weight loss programs or food, so i need help. I am already reasonably active-i walk to school some days(30mins) and home every day without fail(40mins), i am also in the basketball team and we play once a week and train hard on thursday mornings (at 7 in the morning!!!!). But basketball is ending soon and there aren t really any summer sports i m interested in. I do eat reasonably healthy as well but i nearly always over eat... Soo, any advise, fitness programs, tips, and boosters would be really great!thankyou very much:Pp.s i know i am not obese, but would still like to loose some pounds. I do not want to be anorexic so don t worry:P

Some tips:Eat protein with every meal!Eat 5-6 smaller meals everyday instead of 3 meals.Eat oatmeal sweetened with honey or Stevia for breakfast. Throw in some bananas, blueberries or raisins. Eat a hard-boiled egg white or scrambled eggs (egg-beaters are best) and a piece of wheat toast.For mid-morning snack, try a fruit smoothie with any kind of fruit, skim milk, flaxseed and protein powder. Mix up in a blender and yum!For lunch, eat a veggie full salad with spinach, tomato, cucumber, carrot, mushrooms, soy beans and anything else you can throw in it. Instead of using dressing, use a splash of red wine vinegar and drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil. Try putting some turkey or chicken pieces in the salad too.For afternoon snack, try apple with peanut butter or veggies and hummus.For dinner, eat brown rice, steamed veggies and baked/grilled or broiled fish or chicken. Eat beans too or instead of the meat. After dinner snack could be a frozen Edy s fruit bar or Crystal Light popsicle. Eat plenty of veggies and fruit throughout the day too.Drink only water! Try some lemon in it too.Exercise daily (rest once or twice a week starting out) by walking or run/walking sprints for 30 to 60 minutes a day. Try to work the upper body and lower body everyday. Lunges along with push ups are great. Good luck!

A workout that i use is. 1)Do Knee Ups For Ten Seconds 2)Do 10 Push Ups 3)DO 10 Jumping Jacks 4)Do Knee Ups For 20 Seconds 5)Do 20 Push Ups 6)Do 20 Jumping Jacks n Ans so on and so forth as you do it more try doing more at a time

most importantly you have to be committed and motivated to lose weight. dont binge on your diet and drink green tea (iced or hot, whichever) that has no calories to boost your metabolism. Also eat constantly throughout the day to boost your metabolism. try to do exercise that is fun (like swimming or Dance Dance Revolution). Also dont starve yourself..i tried that at one point and i ended up just gaining more weight because i tried to replace what i lost. The reason i recommend eating constantly is because if you starve yourself for too long, your body will go into starvation mode and it will end up storing fat. Make sure you always drink something before you eat because sometimes you are really just thirsty not hungry. Also drink ice cold water because it shocks your body, and then your body has to burn 7.something calories to bring your body temperature back to normal. Try eating more filling foods so it will suppress your hungry for a longer period of time. Allow yourself treats every now and then or you will just end up binging. Try not to lose more then 3 pounds a week because that is unhealthy. Dont eat when you are bored.Good Luck! by the way..you can not loose weight..it is lose weight.. ^-^
