I am 13 and overweight, what are some ways to lose weight? -

I am 13, 5 4 and about 190 pounds. I would really appreciate some weight loss tips.Any help is greatly appreciated.

The only way I ve ever been able to lose weight is to keep a food journal, write down everything you eat and drink every day. Jot down the number of calories from packaged foods and drinks, you might be surprised what is (or isn t!) fattening.Don t diet but instead try to figure out what you will be happy eating long term that is good for you. People who are able to keep weight off don t usually follow an exact diet they read in a book, but instead figure out what works for them as individuals (I read that in a Consumer Reports article reviewing various commercially marketed diets). You can use a particular diet as a starting point, if that helps you, and then charge it to fit what you like. The first week keeping a journal, don t make any goals, just get an idea how much you are currently eating. Then start to set small goals one at a time, like reducing the number of snacks, eating smaller portions. If a particular kind of food seems to be your weakness, try to find lower calorie alternatives you like just as well, or if you can t, you might want to limit the number of servings per week. You can also set goals like trying a healthy food you ve never had before. But be gradual when you set goals. Don t try to do too much at once, and don t get down on yourself if you don t meet a goal.It does help to increase exercise. But whenever I try to stick with some list of exercises, I always let it slide eventually. So that never worked for me. It helps to find something active you do for fun, or it is just part of daily living, that you don t think of it as exercise.Most important, it s about health, not weight. Many young women are way too thin, which is harder on your body than being overweight. Taking care of yourself may not seem important now, but when you get older, the better care you take of yourself when you re young, can pay off by giving you a better quality of life. Eat good food, relax and don t get too stressed, find activities you really enjoy, have fun.

Being a girl, theres many ways that you can lose weight. However, I am a guy and own the following equipment that not only makes you lose weight, it gets you in great shape to...http://www.mybodylastics.com/If you visit that website, you can purchase the cheaper set, obviously because your a woman and have no desire for the most expensive, I myself purchased the most expensive set, and right now im in the best shape of my life, dont doubt any set especially for the price your gonna pay going to the gym.

alot of it depends on what you eat. try cutting down on the junk-oo and start eating some healthy non-sugar cereals, like special k. but dont diet! you re still young, but make sure that you re eating healthily and getting all of the nutrients your body needs per day.try some cardio. you can find some really great exersizes and cardio workout tips on google. also, try sitting less and on your feet more. while watching tv, during commercials, instead of sitting there , try doing sit ups, crunches or even jumping jacks. go out and play outside an hour per day, since your still a child. try some jumping rope, jogging around the block or yard, climbing a tree or jumping on a trampoline.you re still at a young age, so try not to push yourself too hard. and make sure that you still eat and dont skip meals....and if you can help it, dont eat in between meals and DO NOT eat anyhting after 6 at night. thats how lots gain weight is when they eat at night.hopefully this has helped you! good luck ;) try talking to your parents for some tips as well, i bet they can even jog with you sometimes. a great way for family bonding :P

of course eat right. count your calories. and then when you work out burn about 2 times how many calories you took in that day. also don t over work your self you can hurt your self.push your self on the first day with ab workouts, and then jog for about 20 minutes then run a bit faster for ten then go back to joging. be sure to strech before and after.the next day try lifting. then back to running the next day. do intervals like this.if you hurt your self or your too sore break for one day.

Drink 8 glasses of water a day to help cut down the hunger cravings.. in fact, carry a water bottle. Have a friend who you can diet with that will help you monitor how you re doing, someone you can trust and encourage each other.Do not binge eat, do not eat after 8 PM, switch to as many low-fat and fat free options as you can, and reduce your carbohydrate intake.Keep track of your progress on a calender so you can see for yourself what s working and what isn t. Weigh yourself daily.

Though it may sound boring and old-fashioned the best thing to do is walk, walk, walk! Since it s warming up a bit outside there really isn t any reason why you wouldn t want to go outside and enjoy the nice weather while getting exercise! Walk about 20-30 minutes a day, that s it! You can do a little more, but at least 20-30 minutes a day....not that bad, huh?!? Along with walking, you MUST drink water, eat healthy (that includes fruits and vegetables), stay away from the fatty, fried foods and sodas! And be positive- that s key! You can t put yourself down, you have to uplift your spirits and do what s best for your body. Trust me, you can do it! I ve seen it first hand! Stay encouraged and consistent and next thing you ll know people will be asking you How did you do it!?? Best wishes and hope this helps! :o)

drink lots of water, and since you are a little heavy dont just jump into full on aerobics. start with walking, then throw in some jogging, push ups sit ups, dont watch tv, dont play video games, get your heart rate up for at least 30 min per day, try to workout at least 3 to 5 times per week and eat healthy foods, like fruit, veggies, fish chicken and othe good stuff

hi. don t worry honey.you are teenager. you are in growing age. you know eating breakfast is important. it burns your extra calories. drinking water especially 30 min before eating breakfast. do some exercise in your spare time. be satisfy with yourself darling.

running and swimming are great for losing weight overall.if you burn enough calories in a day, you can still eat what you eat on a daily basis. thats what i did since i would run about 4-5 miles a day.

At your young age the Atkins diet might be a good option as it includes all animal protein.You can get a whole book on it from health stores.

watch your calorie intake, and work out. diet and excerise are the best ways to go.also no late night eating or over eating. you will be fine

eat right, play sports , walk around your neighbor or jog , join a local gym , or ask a gym teacher or health teacher at school for tips! good luck!!

Whats your best weight loss tip? -

If you have lost weight, what are some good tips?Please don t just be annoying and say, stop eating thanks very much

chew slowly when eating, and don t take another bite until you swallow everything. put your fork down once in a while to slow things down.

The best way to lose weight and keep it off is a healthy way of living by diet and exercise. Actually not even a diet. you can eat whatever you want, as long as you are not overeating, try eating by servings. I am 27 right now and have gained a bit of weight but what has helped me in the past was to eat 5-6 small meals a day, 1bf,1lunch, 1 dinner, and 3 snacks. along with eating is exercising. In order to lose one pound, you have to burn off an additional 500 calories per day. 3500 calories is equivalent to one pound. Mix up your exercise routines. Don t do the same exercises everyday because your body gets used to doing them and therefore sometimes, you hit plateaus where you can t lose weight. When you mix up your routines and put it in overdrive, your body gets confused and starts burning fat fast. I have done this and it works, but only if you are eating right as well. Try taking supplements if the food you eat does not give you enough nutrients. Eat foods with protein, your body needs protein if you want to get bigger in muscle size. If you want more muscle take protein and eat more, if you want to do the opposite eat less. As long as you follow these guidelines, your body will never do you wrong. Your body is like a car, you feed it what it requires, the longer and better it will keep going.

Eat plenty of protein and fibrous foods - veggies, tofu, egg whites, tuna, and chicken breast, drink plenty of water, and start lifting weights. As long as you don t eat 4000 calories a day, I PROMISE you wont get bulky :) I ve been lifting heavy for two years and I m a size two, 5 5 girl and 120 lbs

,The Acai Berry is the most impressive diet pill I have ever used. I tried so many other diet pills and weight loss programs without much success. Once I started using the Acai Berry, I lost 44 lbs in 90 days. You can read more about my story on my blog - http://weightlossblog.notlong.com

i think it all boils down to portion control

If you are overweight and if you do not take care of it, you may come across various health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases, etc. Many people who are overweight may feel insecure or dejected. Hence in order to get rid of the weight quickly, you have to consciously set targets to reduce weight. A combination of good diet and exercise can get you adequate results. You should refrain from eating junk food and oil rich diet, because they slow down the metabolism, increase the fat deposition in your body and cause problems to the heart.

Weight loss became a permanent drag for me until I used acai berry. I understand they say that pills do not work, but they sure worked for me, and they ve been featured on CNN too. There is a free trial happening currently at http://sanalt.ganux.com, try it , why not?

Quick weight loss(please give only good answers,thanks)? -

i m looking for a quick weight loss tip or diet or plan or anything that will make me loss weight quick, please don t tell me to just diet and exercise, just give me a great answer to my problem, i need to lose as much weight as possible before Halloween, thanks

If you are looking for a quick weight loss plan, realize that you will put back the weight as quick as you loose it and maybe more. Well, iodine makes your thyroid (which controls your metabolism) more active so it will increase your metabolism, be careful though, there are side effects (hair loss, hot feelings all the time, shaky hands, crappy mood, diarrhea, frequent bowel movements...) Also decrease food intake, try to eat just 1-2 different types of food per day that way your metabolism wont have to shift gear as much and will burn more efficiently,Also, drink tea. don t think about food, and to loose weight quickly, you must run. Cardio, there s no way around it. Get on a treadmill, run really fast for 2 mins, walk for 3, run slowly for 3, walk for 2, run really fast for 2, walk...you get it the trend, just keep changing your pace and speed to burn more calories. Pump iron to increase muscle mass and thus increase metabolism.

Only good answers for this one? okay.Unfortunately, the best weight loss plan I can give you is to diet and exercise. I will go into detail for you though.For exercise, about 30 minutes of moderate cardio 5 days a week is the best way to go. Don t make it too intense, but don t be too lazy. (if you are jogging, for example, go at about 30% of your max speed)Make sure that you do something different every day each week, or else your body will become used to your exercises and will actually burn less calories doing it.For your diet, don t eat LESS food, just eat HEALTHIER food. Also try eating 5 - 6 small/medium sized meals instead of 3 big ones.Stay away from too much red meat, dairy and any food that comes from the other category, such as chocolate bars and expecially potatoe chips. Don t STOP eating red meats and dairy, but cut them down. This will take a significant amount of fat from your diet.Don t shy away from carbohydrates, like I m sure many people will tell you to do. Carbohydrates are the best source of energy and should make up about 70% of your food intake. Things like pasta, whole wheat bread and honey nut cheerios are pretty good. If you don t eat enough carbs, you won t have the energy to exercise.Fruits and Vegetables are also a good, low calorie vitamin rich food type for snacking on. If you feel hungry, grab a few celery sticks. They re like, 90% water and will keep you satisfied until your next meal. (Your meals will only be about 3 hours apart if you eat 5 - 6 times a day)Make sure you stay true to exercising, or this plan won t help you that much.You have about a month and a half until halloween, I think you can lose about 15 pounds if you stick to this, assuming that you are about 15 - 20 pounds overweight.

Three steps that have really helped me are dieting, exercising, and the correct weight loss supplement for losing weight. Focus on those three things and you will lose weight considerably. I exercise 30 mins a day along with taking Proactol, a natural weight loss supplement that I saved money on at theweightlossplace.com Good luck and stay focused = )

First off, I see a problem already. Your day plan involves a lot of eating, and sodas are a no-no. It is much better to have a large breakfast, around 800 calories or so, a small lunch, and medium-sized dinner. Eating a big breakfast jump starts your metabolism in the morning, but if you skip this meal or eat too little, it will take some time for your body to start digesting properly. Secondly, eat foods high in protein as they will keep you fuller, longer. Drink plenty of water, but not those mineral water or Fruit2O beverages. They are high in calories and are not as good for you as they say they are. For instance, did you know that the pasta salad at Olive Garden is 3000 calories, and the chicken salad at McDonald s does not include the nutritional facts for the condiments, which add 100s more. Your dinner should be 2/3 vegetables, fruits, and some grains, like French bread, and 1/3 meat, but not any red meats. Also, remember that saturated fats (butter) are bad and unsaturated fats (olive oil) are good. Don t eat anything with hydrogenated trans fats because your body does not know what to do with them, so storage is the only option. So, let s recap what I just said: Eat a fairly large breakfast (oatmeal, hot chocolate, and an orange), then a small lunch (sandwich with 7 Grain wheat, lettuce, tomatoes, Turkey Breast Deli Selects, Mayonnaise, and pickle relish, and wash it all down with tap water, not bottled), and for dinner, top it all off with fish (omega 3), white or brown rice (some carbohydrates are good), with carrots and asparagus. I don t know about drinking tea, but it should be fine. So long as it does not have sugar in it. Granulated sugar and cane sugar should only be used in moderation, like with dessert every once in a while. Exercise is key, too.

I need to lose weight in 2 days cause Im being measured for the army. help! any weight loss tips? -

LOSE WATER IN YOUR BODY ....I m a Boxer, I do this to get into my weight category.. you body can lose a lot of water in a couple of days. KEEP IN MIND that this is not healthy.. Sit in a Sauna or a steam bath for half a day and consume less water rest of the day.This is just for temporary, you ll lose some temp weight and will regain on drinking water. after your weigh in you have to drink water.. if the ARMY guys ask you to do physical drill then drink a couple of glasses of water then do the drill..Don t make you body stay without water for more than these 2 days.AGAIN, THIS IS JUST TEMPORARY.. longer duration will have altered results to your body.

Hi there,I think you might be getting a little mixed up with what you want exactly. You say that you want to lose weight but that means you might want to get rid of some muscle too. You then say that you d like to shape (I d call it tone) your body a little which implies you want to build some muscle. I m not trying to pick at your question - I just want to clarify the point for you.To answer it in the best way, I am going to look at it as if you want to get rid of fat AND build muscle at the same time. If you re looking to trim and tone your body, and espectially because you suggest you are not that overweight, I would suggest you start performing more intensive aerobic exercises such as jogging. I wouldn t think you need to change the whole way you eat or go on a diet because if you re wanting to build muscles - it s better to do it all with exercise.Exercises like jogging won t exactly build your muscles on your stomach but they will help reduce the extra fat around there. Depending on how fit you are, you should go on daily or bi-daily jogs of around a mile. To build muscles, you should concentrate on anaerobic exercises such as sit-ups to help build muscles.These muscle-building exercises will give your muscles the toning and training they need to grow and become more prominent. To start to see a real difference with sit-ups, you should be looking to do no more than 100 every day (more than that will often hurt your muscles).If you stick to doing those two forms of exercise - jogging and sit-ups, you should see real improvements in a week or two. Remember, you should do them as often as you can (I.E every single day).

There are more tips and info.How to lose weight naturally has been in debate for years.Some say low carb. Some say high carb. Some say it s how much food. Some say it s how much exercise. But none of these covers the whole picture.How to lose weight naturally is not rocket science.

Can jogging really loose weight? -

Can it really loose weight? If so, how often one must do it? Is there any advisable time of day to jog? What is the duration? How many pounds will be lost? What other weight loss tip u can give...Thank u very much for the help... Appreciate it...

Yes it can. Time, at least 40 minutes. The most important thing is, at the end of it-- you re dying and your heart is beating really fast (BUT NOT TOO FAST!). But you should feel absolutely exhausted the first few days.If you do not feel beat after your run-- then that means you have not run fast enough, or long enough.If, on the other hand, you are dying after just 15 minutes-- then that means you re running too fast, or have to build up to 40. If you do this you can lose up to 5 pounds per week (only 1-2 pounds of fat though). My last bit of advice would be-- when you find that you can easily do the 40 minutes? Then your body might start to plateau-- at which point-- you have to change up your type of exercise. Go swimming for a while, or sprinting, or bike riding. Never let your body get completely used to your exercise.

Yes u can lose wieght. Lets put it this way... How many fat people do u see running marathons? Just take it at ur own pace and push urself a little bit when u feel u can. Try to jog/run during the cooler times of day. Good luck
