Find activities like roller skating or riding bikes with friends. It IS exercise, but because you re doing it just for fun, it doesn t seem so hard. While you re doing those things, you re not home and fishing through the refrigerator either! When you DO snack, try to make every other one something healthy. You don t have to cut out ALL junk food, but you can replace chips with celery and peanut butter now...and have chips tomorrow.
ok -- i started losing weight when i was about 11 or 12, and i lost 30 pounds in about 4 months.....if you stick to a plan, you should lose some weight. since you are in the growing time of your life, you need to make sure that you stay healthy -- do not stop eating....it is one of the worst ways to try to loose weight. what i did was replace sodas with water. i drank water with almost every meal. also, make sure you get yogurt and milk and stuff so you get calcium. make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. you could go for walks everyday....or a few days a week.....or you could walk around your house or something. eat lots of fruits and veggies. eat smaller portions of food, but eat about every 4 hours. try to eat supper about 3 and a half hours before you go to bed. if you want faster results, do some exercises each night before you go to bed -- i lost a lot of weight and got a nice flat tummy by doing this. try to find ways to burn calories - play outside with friends, play with any pets (if you have any).......don t sit on your butt and watch tv all day. :) and remember to reward yourself ..for example, if you set a goal to lose 2 pounds in a set amount of days, and if you reach that goal, reward yourself by going shopping or doing something that you d like to do. HOWEVER.....don t pig out because you could gain more weight. i wish you good luck, and if you have any questions or need support, feel free to email me at lardball777@yahoo.com
Well you could learn to love diet and exercise!Okay if thats not doing it for you get what you normally would to eat then cut it in half. Save the other half for later feed it to a dog what ever just eat half as much as you would regularly or try to mix it up trying some veggie or soy meat alternitives and getting low fat and low sugar substitutes. Also on exercise try joining a team sport your team will motivate you to give it your all and esspcially if you join a school sport you won t be tempted to give up as easily. Other then that you can try walking places you would nomally get a ride for like to the libary or a friends house. Little changes really add up and before you know it your a thinner healther you!
Watch what you eat try walking a little. lay off the sweets totally, have servings instead of a huge meal
To lose weight you need to burn more calories than you ingest. I am sorry but a healthy diet and exercise are the best ways to lose weight:-( Try eating more high fiber foods (they make you fuller longer and eliminate more waste). Try cutting out sodas (even diet soda, the fake sugar makes you crave more of the real thing) Increase you daily water intake it will make you lose more weight. I have read that ice water speeds up your metabolism but I don t know how true this it. If you don t like the taste of plain water you can add a lemon wedge to it or mint sprigs.Cut out things like high fats and high sugar items. Subsitue them with a fruit that you like (for sugar). Eat good fats that are plant based. These fats will not make you fat! Try eating hummus with your vegetables or on a sandwich instead of dips and mayo.Don t listen to the jackass that told you to throw up. Being healthy is the most important thing.
Yes sign them up for a sport.
Well, nobody really likes to diet or excercise. Just eat healty, don t starve yourself. As far as excercise goes....just get outside, and see the world. You ll be surprised what will happen when you get off your rear end and see whats out there!!!
Since a 12 yearold is still growing....maybe you should try to maintain their weight and not concentrate on losing.If you are the parent you can help out by not keeping a lot of bad food in the house. Soda is the worst.and...shut the tv OFF!
