How to lose weight? -

Basically my mom has noticed that since I haven t had any friends around during the summer (lucky people are actually busy) I ve become a lot more lazy than how I ve been in the school year (you know P.E. and walks to the library to study). SO anyways she needs me to start being active because (this is going to sound bad) I ve gained almost 25 lbs. and it s starting to impact my body. So I just wanted to know ways to lose weight and once again get back on track with my healthy food choices. By the way, I can t do swimming, running or anything that requires someone else. I also can t drive anywhere. And I would like this to stay healthy, no diets or eating disorders. So thank you so much! Also if I start to lose weight will my body lose the noticable body fat?

Cardio, cardio, cardio.Increasing your muscle mass will help burn fat but not as much as cardio.Welcome to the world of, you guessed it, cardio:http://exercise.about.com/od/cardioworko��

Try riding a bike. its awesome, low impact and yields good results. if you loose weight say 5 lbs, you might notice some loss in body fat but not a huge amount

Start jogging. It takes away a lot of fat.Muscles used:Stomach, arms, legs, neck.

follow this until your happy ...-get up in the morning and run on the treadmill,until you burn 500 calories (if you dont have a treadmill, run or jog around your block, or take a really long walk) REMEMBER TO KEEP HYDRATED !-once your done have a fruit salad (ex : apples,bananas,mangos,any fruit you like, atleast 3 different fruits) and a glass of water .-relax until its lunch time .-when its time for lunch, on whole wheat bread, have a ham turkey, or whatever meat you like sandwich , with water, or v8-then do sit-ups, sets of 5 (atleast do 40 a day)-as a snack,have carrots, or celery, without dressing !-then later in the day .. run on the treadmill,until you burn 500 calories (if you dont have a treadmill, run or jog around your block, or take a really long walk) REMEMBER TO KEEP HYDRATED !-and for dinner have chicken made in a pan or on the grill, vegetables,fruit,and a piece of whole wheat bread with no butter,and water or v8switch up the meat,fruit,and vegetables if you want .and as a treat buy some weight watchers ice cream bars .also for lunch, have a weight watchers meal, they work too !or have some plain pasta for dinner .if you want consist your diet of weight watchers .no candy,chocolate,anything high in sugars/calories .NO SODA ! and try to take in only 1500 calories a day !hope i helped (:

Start training for track so you will be really good when you start, and running is cardio and that will help you lose weight. Weight lifting (with like 3 lb. weights) but doing more reps will make you more toned. And just daily taking a walk for 30 minutes instead of watching tv is better.You don t need to go on any extreme diets to lose weight, and those don t work anyway. Cut out super sugary drinks (like soda) because sugar is what makes you gain weight and they are empty calories. If you want ice cream or whatever go for it, but in moderation. Just little changes like more fruit and cutting out soda will help and you will feel a lot better. Nothing happens overnight though, and muscle ways more than fat, so if you gain muscle (being toned not like bulging muscles) it is good.
