Weight Loss Tips for teens? -

I am 16 and very active. I play lacrosse for 4 hours a week, swim competitvly for 14 hours a week, and do various types of dance for 12 hours a week. I m a lacto-vegetarian (I eat no meat or eggs). I was just diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, and my doctor told me that I should loose wight and it would help. I m 5 6 and my waist is 34 inches around at the widest part and I weigh 185 pounds. Any tips to help me loose weight? ThanksPLease do be polite. This is a serious question, I really want to improve my slef.

Tips:#1.) You might confuse hunger for thirst so before you go and grab somthing to eat drink some water and give it a few minutes to settle. If you re still hungry go eat an apple or maybe a few grapes and wait untill your next meal.2.) You might think your hungry when your not. Or you just want to eat because theres food in the fridge. When you know your hungry is when you start to get stomach cramps.3.) Dont starve yourself on a bad diet! Go on a healthy diet. They work alot better then not eating at all. 4.)You should research about food and the calories and fat. It will help you think again when your about to eat a huge bowl of icecream.5.) You should eat one serving of every food group (but try to not have so much of the sugars). A serving is about a palm full of what ever your eating. Or 3/4th a cup.6.) Make sure you get enough excersice! Thats very important! You should go out for quick jog s in the morning before school. Scientests have prooved that you loose 3/4th s more body fat by running in the morning rather than evening or night. That dosnt mean jogging in the evening is bad ( it still burns fat) its just easier to burn fat in the morning.7.) Remember to feel good about yourself! That is very important the more mentally challanged to do this the better!(p.s.) Loosing fat takes time so dont get mad when you dont burn 10 pounds the first day! I hope this helps!

how can you weigh that much but have skinny small waist and only be that height?

Do pilates. . they work like you would not believe,maybe join the spin class at your local gym as well?Im assuming most of your mass is related to muscle. . so i wouldnt honestly excpect to lose that much weight if i were you. . but pilates and yoga are great.

eat several small meals throughout the day.choose high protein foods rather than carbs which digest quickly so you don t feel as hungry through out the day.

Well, sice you re already obviously really active, and you are a lacto-vegetarian (fight the power!), I would just cut out the majority of the junk food from yuor diet, and drink plenty of water. Lifting weights is also actually a good way to lose, because it builds muscle that burns dreaded f*t. Good luck!

Teen girls, what do you do to lose weight? -

hi im 16 and trying to lose around 20-30 lbs. i was just wondering if any other teens had weight loss tips or suggestions? thanks!

i do yoga on tuesday, hot yoga on friday, and belly dancing on thursday.

1. When you feel hungry, have a glass of water first. We re so out of touch with our bodies hunger/thirst signals that sometimes when we think we re hungry we re actually just dehydrated. 2. If you re still hungry, have a half of a grilled chicken breast with a salad or steamed vegetables. The protein from the chicken is slow burning, so it will keep your hunger satisfied for a longer period of time than carbohydrates do. The vegetables are full of nutrients, which will also leave your body satisfied, simply because we don t tend to be hungry as much if we are getting all of the nutrients we need. 3. Watch what you snack on. If you normally snack on chips or sweets, substitute the chips for red grapes (great for your heart) or blueberries (rich in amino acids). Or apples, which are rich in fiber. Sometimes when I m craving salty foods I will eat tortilla chips or sun chips instead of potato chips. The sun chips, again, are rich in fiber and the tortilla chips are low fat. 4. Walk for an hour every day. This doesn t have to be all at once, but if you can avoid driving, do it. Ask one of your friends to be your walking buddy. My ex-boyfriend lost 8 pounds in two weeks when he came out to the midwest to visit me because I don t have a car and he was walking every place instead of driving. 5. If walking isn t your thing, try doing yoga, aerobics or pilates. I was in the best shape of my life when I was training to be a yoga teacher (I weighed 110 pounds at 5 3 . I now weigh something like 120 at 5 3 because I went away to college and gained the transfer 10.) 6. Allow yourself one day every week where you don t watch what you eat. It ll make your lifestyle changes easier to adjust to. 7. Eat until you re 80% full. Don t eat until you re gut-busted, but stop eating when you feel satisfied. Not hungry, not gut-busted, but satisfied. Edit: To the poster below me, good call. The associate minister at my church lost 20 pounds when she first started doing bikram (hot yoga) ten years ago. As a certified yoga instructor, I would recommend that you increase your water intake if you re going to do Bikram yoga though. Instead of 8 ounces of water, drink an entire gallon (over the course of the day, not all at once.)

Eat five small, basic meals a day. Try to incorporate all the major food groups, and try to avoid sugar as much as you can. You can still have sweets, but not every day, just on Monday as a pick-me-up or on Friday as a celebratory treat. Exercise, but make sure it s something you enjoy, or, if you re like me and don t really enjoy sports of any kind, just take a brisk walk as often as possible. Also, don t get discouraged when you don t lose as much weight as you want to as quickly as you want to---these things take time and patience. :) Good luck.

Try walking on a daily basis for about 30 minutes to begin with. Increase the amount of time as you feel more comfortable doing so. After about 2 weeks you should introduce 30 seconds of jogging followed by 2 minutes of walking for the entire time that you are excercising. This will increase your level of fitness and is a great way to start excercising =]Good luck xx

After school, my friend and I go to the gym everyday!I also get up 30 mins earlier to take a walk in the morning before school. And also, I bring my own homelunch to school instead of eating their food. I usually eat a salad for lunch. Plus, it s good to have eggs for breakfast because eggs have lots of protiene, and protiene keeps you full longer. So you don t feel as hungry. Then when I get home from school/ the gym, I have a small snack like an apple, and then I just go about the rest of my day, and then have a small dinner because your metabolism is slower at night so you gain more calories at night, so its good to eat light at night lol!

well i was sick and i only ate 1 meal a day and sometimes i would just snack on something but drink lost of liquids and i lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. but i run a lot and i work out and that helps. also cut your meals like in half and when you feel the urge to snack on junk food, chew gum or drink some water

The best and fastest way that I lose weight is to just eat fruits and veggies. But then after about 3 weeks my brain starts feeling like it s dead, so I can t really do that for long periods of time Lol That s what works for me though...and then I put it back on (I need to figure out the solution to that part...)

Just cut down on the junk food ( sweets and crisps) and fizzy juicesEat more fruit and veg, and drink water, or fruit juice rather than fizzy juiceAnd exercise.Go to the gym for a while every weekOr go swimming, or just go for walks

if you want a system try weight watchers I m 16 and i ve been on it for about a month and lost like 8 pounds. its so great and the stuff im learning i can use for the rest of my life

exercize and eat healthier!also dont weigh yourself everday (watched pot never boils)

um... yeah the not weighing yourself thing really does work. Studies have proven that you lose more weight when you dont weigh yourself often, they have no idea why. But if you really want a diet to fit your lifestyle and to help you lose faster and to do a plan that fits your need I suggest that you go see a nutritionist and a doctor. Every diet doesnt work for everyone.xoxo Jeana

best thing is get hooked on water and walk as much as possible walk walk walk its the best workout and the easiest really stead of driving or rideing walk and replace soda and juice with water . jumping jacks whenever you in ya room just put music on and start jumping lol and danceing is a good work out turn the music up and dance till you work up a sweat 3 it can be crazy cuz only you will see lol just work up a sweat for bout 30min the sit down catch ya breath and drink sum water and only eat when your really hungry not because your bored 3 good luck and o yea im 17 3

just eat healthy and exercise its any ones best bet!!

im have been tryin to lose weight for a while and i haven t been able to, its easy to gain weight but not lose it lol. than i gave up and now im doing it a way NO ONE should but yeah lol im on a crash diet right now, dont ever do it lol i don t even know why i do it. I would suggest eating healthier like eat salads, vegetables, and fruits and stuff and exercise

Can Anyone Help Me Loose Weight? -

I ve been trying to lose weight for a while and I was wondering if anyone had LEGIT weight loss tips to fit my busy schedule. Links or personal advice would be helpful, thanks ;D

Eat healthy and workout. Your should work out for at least 45 minutes every other day. You loose weight after you work out, not while you work out so, every other day. Dont eat anything sweet at all. Nothing, nada, nothing at all. Try that for 1 month and eat 4-6 small meals a day, according to how hungry you get in one day. It s okay if you eat 6, you wont gain weight. Actually, the best way to lose weight is to eat because if you dont eat, your metabolism wont work and you wont burn anything. But be sure to eat HEALTHY. before you decide on loosing weight, be committed. Organize a plan and stick to it :]Exersize: Jog for 45 min around your neighborhood or on a treadmill. Go to a gym if you can. I think jogging is the best way to lose weight because believe it or not, it helps your legs, butt, and stomach. :]Hope I helped

try resistance training were you do cardio in intervals for example if you are going to run on a treadmill then run on the hardest intensity the best you can for a minute and then stop and keep doing thator do a 5-7 minute warm up at a low intensity and then do one minute high intensity and 2 minutes medium intensity. after that break and do the 1 minute high intensity and 2 minutes medium 2 more times and then a 5 minute low intensity cool down. over doing cardio can promote muscle loss and performing this resistance training will speed up your metabolism and help you shed the pounds :)

If you are looking for easy weight loss way, you can use my way. I lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks. If you are serious about weight loss you should have a look this way. It is easy if you know right information to do weight loss. You can find more information at http://bit.ly/jkefngi8

Weight loss tips needed.? -

Hi im a 21yr old male and im currently weighing in at 5ft9inches and 176pounds. im looking to lose 11-22 pounds within a month. im looking for tips to help me do so by non chemical means. im dead serious about this.thanks!

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, whichwill lead to increase of weight, or muscle growunderneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet withoutexercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. Fordiet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no foodafter 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending onyour initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. Ifyou don t eat wheat then you don t eat all those sticky, fatty goeycakes, you don t eat junk food, and you don t eat biscuits. But yourdiet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have tocalculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is themost efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight alot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to targetyour problem areas for men and women. It s not necessarily to become abodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help youto target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Hi,In 2005 i was diagnosed with high blood pressure, and I m very overweight (250 pounds). The doctor said I should think about losing some weight and start to exercise. I ve had three back surgeries since 2001, I used to be a size five. But then I blew up to an astonishing size 22. I ve tried throwing up my food but that I could never succeed at it even though Ive tried a thousand times. I ve try marking down everything I eat, took weight loss pills and exercising to burn the extra fat. You name it, i ve tried it.Finally, in April 2008 my best friend introduce me a new technique of weight loss program. At first i was a bit skeptical since i ve been ripped off a few times. But after joining the program, I ve lost 30 pounds in the first month and currently my weight is 120 pounds. The truth is our own metabolism system play a vital part in controlling the amount of body fat burned in the process of providing energy to the body. Knowledge about our own metabolism function is the mother to all weight loss programs. With the knowledge you not only reduce your weight but able to maintain an ideal weight and living a healthy life. Best of all you can eat what you most enjoyed without gaining any weight. The knowledge from the program is invaluable and i m sure you won t be regret. Btw the program is absolutely safe and you will enjoy it for life.You could contact me at maria.weight@gmail.com for more details.

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!? -

Hi I m 14 turning 15 in march anyways i really really want to lose weight i am 5 3/5 4 and i weigh 177lbs and i really would appreciate any tips,suggestions anything i would really appreciate it SOOOO much plz!!!!!

start eating smaller serving sizes, cut your fat intake by 10%, u can eat more of the non fatty foods in your meal to make up for any extra hunger. Don t add more fat to meals that already have fat. Condiments such as cheese,mayonnaise and butter for example is just adding more fat. Don t eat after sunset, give your body 4 hours without eating before you sleep.Exercise is also key, do not be intimidated by the term exercise. Considering your 14, go outside and play, stop sitting in front of your computer an tv and go exercise however you want outside. I suggest you read the articles at the website below:

I whent on the ALL fruit diet for 1 week and lost 5 lbs! I barley excersized so if you do like cardio and jogging you ll loose like 8 lbs in 1 week!! WATER is good for loosing weight to!This does help! :)

1. ExerciseExercise causes the body to burn fats. And no diet works without the help of a good exercise regime. All weight loss tips appearing in health magazines and over the internet will tell you that regular exercise could help you a lot in reducing your body mass index. A handful of people can t be wrong. So don��t skip an exercise routine at the gym. 2. Eat healthy.Some people concentrate too much on getting thin that they fail to recognize the more important thing �C they have to stay focused on eating healthy. If you do this, everything else follows. If you eat the right type of food, you should not worry about getting fat. Because more often than not, the person s bad choices when it comes to the food they eat is the reason why they are overweight. Fatty foods and sweets should be avoided as much as possible

How much should I exercise in order to lose weight? -

I m talking cardio, mostly brisk walking. I need to lose about 50 pounds.Thanks for you help and any weight loss tips you could offer.

I would strongly recommend this new form of exercise which is new in the USA. This is how to do it and it guarantees weight loss...:......oops i forgot. LOL

Lets see... fifty doing brisk walking... I would start off with about 2-3 hours a day if possible for a month and see how you feel after that. I dont know what kind of shape you re in, fifty is a lot so i assume you re really out of shape. I wouldnt suggest trying to lose all 50 walking, at some point you re probably better off doing some really low paced jogging. Like baby step jogging for a good distance just enough to really get you soaked. Make sure you talk multi vitamins, drink a lot of water and watch what you eat after you workout because you can get sick eating too much or too much of the wrong food. I ve puked many a time trying to feast on chicken after a good run. Good luck

Hi, Carrie, for weight loss, it s best (if you can fit it into your schedule) to do 30-60 minutes of cardio every day. Obviously doing 60 is more effective than 30. Once you reach your goal and your satisfied with your health, you can do cardio 3-4 times a week to maintain good health. For weight loss, my best suggestion is to learn to eat healthy. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/eat-��That means understand the food pyramid, the food groups, the recommended servings, etc. That is how you should eat for life! If you eat that way and have 3 small, healthy meals a day and 2 small, healthy snacks, you will lose weight. Each meal should be less than 400 calories and each snack should be about 100-150 calories. Eating highly nutritious foods is the key, so think in terms of lean protein, veggies, whole-grains, fruits, low-fat dairy, and heart-healthy oils.The second option is to do a short-term drastic diet that is designed to last for 2 weeks max. This would take off the most weight rapidly. There are several on the site under Diet Plans but my favorite is the 5-4-3-2-1 diet. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/5-4-��You get to pick what you eat, but you re going to want to pick highly nutritious foods to keep your metabolism working efficiently. Again, the eat healthy page can help you determine what highly nutritious foods are, if you need help with that. If you go on the short-term diet, then once it s over, follow the guidelines on the eat healthy page. Make water your main source of hydration and save the sweet drinks (even diet) for special occasions. Eliminate as much salt and sugar from your diet as you can.As you already know, the biggest component to fast weight loss is going to be your workout. You will want to make sure you do a good cardio workout every day for weight loss. Activities that use the large leg muscles burn the most calories. These activities also tone the lower body quite effectively. Think in terms ofpower walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, racquetball, and jumping jacks. To make sure that you re burning fat, you need to be sweating and huffing and puffing. In addition, do some good stretches and some strength training. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/targ��You ll find some really good information on the website, including about five pages of weight loss tips, printable weight loss journal pages, printable exercise log sheets, motivational ideas, healthy recipes, etc.Good luck!

pffi had an issue with my weight a while ago. but you can get sea kelp which is a natural herb which means you dont have to change ur diet or exercise and it strengthens ur hair and nails AND i lost a stone in a week. iv stopped takin them now and the weight hasnt gone back on and i even checked with my doctor and as its rich in iodine theyr just generally like multi vitamines.they work by increasing ur metabalism so basically if you take 1 everytime you eat something ur digestive system starts working and when thers nothing left to digest it digests a bit more of whats already there.you dont even have to worry about health problems as its all natural and very good for you. theyr like ��3 from holland and barrat for 260 tablets.

for a workable diet - here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent carb. potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category. 25 per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ,ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. have a protein shake too, if you want. it will fight the fat and give you extra energy to exercise. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Needless to say, NO soda, chips, cookies! Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like. get a pedometer and try to take 10,000 steps everyday.

see this is your problem right here, you re too lazy to google some exercise info and you just want attention from yahoo answerers...are you likely to do what we tell you? probably not because you would want us to do that for you too. are you eating chocolate right now because when you say in order to it sounds like you haven t even stopped gorging food yet. get off the computer and do something more productive and you may start gaining some respect, that might lead to self esteem and possibly exercise. how much? you could never overdo it sister.

Eat about 500-800 calories a day,or just less than 1000.Walk for 2 hours a day and do 8 minute abs.Your 50 pounds should be gone in about 2-3 months.:]

try the Lil Jack exercise program http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr��

30 minutes of cardio a day would be good as long as its challenging and make sure everytime you brake sweat

you need to spend at least 3 hr in gym doing hard work if you want to loose that much of weight
