I want to lose 20 lbs in 2 months (at the most). Any tips? -

I weigh 130 lbs and am 5 4 at 13 y/o. I am very unhappy with my phsyical appearance, as I don t have much muscle. I want to lose 5 pounds before school starts at least, then over the course of two months, lose the remaining 15 pounds. I ll still be in my healthy BMI.Any tips? Also, I was going to download an IPod podcast dealing with weight loss tips, so any good ones?

i ll let everyone else do that self confidence building and tell you to do it the healthy way...because it s true. GOOGLE.COM GOOGLE.COM GOOGLE.COMi sware. google every quiestion you have about working out, dieting and stuff. you ll be amazed at the information you find.keep it simple. it s all about dieting and excercising..no ways around it! keep your calories below 2000 a day! choose GOOD calories. you know- your fruits, vegetables,...good good protein and carbs.(egg whites, wheat bread, tuna....).RUN! the only way to burn fat is to keep that heart rate up. run for atleast 30 minutes a day...(or walk). i have asthma so i would just jog, then speed walk for 40 minutes a day. at first its horrible! but once you start getting into a routine, you feel bad not working out. it will soon become your new addiction with amazing results!random tips I found helpful? -i baught crest white strips and instead of eating while i watched tv, i left those on for 30 minutes. FIND SOMETHING to do other than eating when you do activities like watching tv, sitting online etc.- chew gum 30 minutes before and after meals. studies say it ll take of 30 calories of your meal? idk...random easy tip.(mint gum kills cravings!)- keep a realistic goal!- make working out fun.- have a weight loss buddy.-go outside!-NEVER skip a meal. (this can and will result in weight gain.)-DRINK LOOOOTS OF WATER!!!- btw, youtube has some great work out videos.hope it helped?

Firstly, you don t NEED to lose any weight but we all can relate feeling unhappy with ourselves. Whatever you decide to do, do not aim to lose more than 2-3 lbs per week max. I severely regret the years of abuse I put my body through starving and purging to achieve drastic weight loss at your age which have come back to haunt my health now. Please remember your body is still developing so don t be too harsh on yourself. There are lots of faddy tips out there but at the end of the day the most effective way of acheiving and maintaining it is a balanced healthy diet and exercise.

You re still only 13 years old, starting a diet right now isn t a very good idea since your body is going through alot of changes seeing as you re only just a teenager.So i suggest you should just eat somewhat healthier meals.Don t starve yourself or go on a diet just pick healthier options and cut down on unnessesary food and EXERCISE.That s the key to it.. Do some sports or the best exercise to lose weight is walking. Make sure you walk for 50 minutes or more and you can always make it fun by taking a friend or changing your routine so you don t get sick of it! Good Luck!

If you cut junk food out of your diet, drink PLENTY of water, eat smaller portions of healthy real food - lots of veggies (cooked and uncooked), lean meat, low fat dairy, and whole grains---you will lose weight. Eat balanced meals, don t cut out dairy or whole grains, etc., etc. . . . Your body needs the nutrition from each group to be healthy.Add exercising regularly- biking or walking or jogging or swimming laps, etc.. . .this will increase your weight loss.

Sorry, 13 is too young to put yourself on a diet, plus 20 pounds in 2 months is un-attainable. If you are overweight, you will automatically lose if you get 25 mg of fiber a day, 8 glasses of water, and at least 5 servings of fruits and veg...

How about loading that i pod and get out there and walk. best way to do it. I lost 2 to 3 lbs a week doing that by not changing my eating habits. i walked a mile a day/ Start out slow and work your way up everyday. you are young enough, you could probably do it now. i still recommend not going wild on the snack foods and pop.Usually the first two weeks a lot of people will lose 5 to 10 lbs and taper to 2 to 3 bls a week after that.

no carbs,try to as little carbs.as possible and exercise alot.what ever you do,do not stop eating or your body will store up the fat,so eat five small meals a day,like for breakfast eat an egg,cheese and ham omelet, next meal a apple and yogurt,next a sandwich and some grapes,next a banana and a glass of milk,next eat a grilled chicken breast and a small salad.Good luck!!!

cut out the soda and junk food and go for long walks each day.5 4 130 is a nice size though you should be happy with that IMHOI am 5 3 135 and like my size although I d like to firm up in places

eat breakfast.. with high protein.. because it speeds up ur metabolism during the day and makes u less hungry thru out the day
