How to lose weight about 20 pounds..? -

Okay, im 14 and i weigh 135. I really wanna get skinner,and achieve a six pack. But not like a rock hard one like boy s get.lol. but for real i wanna get a good body. but the only thing is my stomach area my ribs stick out. im not skinny, so its not like anorexic stick out. its like they just stick out. I dont know what to do anymore. :[

If you lost 20 pounds now, depending on your height, you could actually be UNDERweight, which can be just as unhealthy as OVERweight. I weighed 130 when I was 14, and maintained that weight for the next 4 years...I had a good figure at 5 3 . Women these days think that skinny is good. But skinny women have no curves, it s just not normal to look like a stick. Don t give in to the present trends and social beliefs, because they change constantly. Do what s healthy, not fashionable. You ll be better off in the long run.Remember, it s your opinion of yourself that matters most, not what others think of you. Stand your ground, prove em all wrong. Then when you still look great years later and they look stressed from having fluctuated with the ups and downs of trends, you can feel even better about yourself.You re still growing...give your body time to grow into all its parts, everything will balance out in a couple years. When you reach 16-18 though, watch what you eat very carefully, because as we age, it gets harder and harder to lose weight. Right now, I don t think you have anything to worry about.

I dont think you need to loose 20# if your ribs are sticking out now!Exercise more to get toned.

don t lose weight... 135 is NOT fat! I would, however get into Pilates or something like that in order to get that toned body you are looking for

by the way you describe your body you already have a small frame and you probalby just need to tone up a little bit just walk some more with some small weights and drink lots of water and eat health like lots of green veggies eat lean chicken and turkey and you will be just fine

Does anyone know how to lose weight fast? -

i really need to lose like 30 pounds. I m not overweight, but still fat. Can anyone help me? Not only do i need to lose the pounds but also within 3 months, if not just quickely! does eating baked chicken breasts and white rice for a week reall work? I did crew for the past 3 months and it doesn t seem like that worked. Also i do run a mile a day, but it doesn t seem to show any results. please help. =]thanks to anyone who helps!

chicken breasts are great for you but DONT eat white rice, eat BROWN rice or if possible avoid rice all together. Substitute some veggies instead. You want to avoid white (bread, pasta, potatoes, etc) look for colors (fruits and veggies, brown rice, wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, etc) You really just have to think of what you eat and how much you are working out. If you are consuming more calories than you are burning you need to try to do something different, eat less calories, or work out more... GOOD LUCK!

Shut your mouth and move your feet. The body looses weight by using more calories than it consumes. And eat often. Low calorie snacks like carrots, celery, 100% grain bread, low fat cheese. Stay away from High Fructose Corn Syrup and transfats. Cut full calorie sodas and switch to Coke zero. Or Iced Tea with Splenda. Also muscle may weigh more than fat but it does burn calories 3 times as fast as well. Don t worry about the bathroom scale so much. It doesn t matter if you weight 250lbs, if you look like you weigh 125lbs.The only way to loose that much weight FAST! is to cut off a limb, but I bet you need those.

WHITE rice will not work!!! Chicken might, but eat brown rice instead of white rice!!!! And besides, you need different sorts of nutrients from different foods!!!I m going to show you basically a miracle product. It s called Isagenix. It s not a diet because it s very healthy for you. It helps you to lose weight, control cravings, and get rid of nasty chemical impurities in your body. It s a total health and wellness plan! It really is a miracle product! My mom lost 15lbs in the first month!!! She lost 50lbs overall!!! She not only looks thinner, but she has more energy and better skin. She feels great and everyone she knows wants some of this product. It is a little expensive, but it comes out pretty even if you consider that you are replacing meals with delicious and healthy and filling alternatives!!! Plus, if you sell it you can actually make money by helping your friends fell and look better!!! If you want you can go to her website... www.cindirosse.isagenix.com There you can contact her and she ll explain everything! Good luck looking and feeling fabulous!!!

running a mile a day wont work you need to run a minimum of 3 or 4 to see results try changing your regime add in hills and different routes. try this everyday!go swimming, cycling or even walking places 50 squats,lunges,sit-ups push ups will help as wellan aerobics class or DVD will help try and do this 3 times a weekeat about 1300 Cal s a day eat the palm of your handno wheat !!eat plenty of fruit no coffee or tea or cappuccino !! alcohol is forbiddenno junk food if your serious then cut it outdrink plenty of water about 2-3 litres dailystop looking for a quick fix! they don t work i tried the chicken and rice thing it doesn t workby doing this you will lose 30 lbs in 3 months EASY!good luckhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;��

im sorry i wish i could help, i need to lose like 45 pounds and im trying to do it as quickly as possible, therefore its not the healthy way, so i feel obligated to tell you not to crash diet, or starve yourself. you will just gain it all back and then some. all i can say to you is cut out pop if your from the north or soda from the south. stop eating junk food. eat healthier portions, eat fruits and veggies and remember that a serving of meat should be the size of your palm. eat smaller meals and spread them out over 6 meals a day. dont eat after 7 pm. drink water!!!! i think your supposed to eat either 1000 cal. or 1200 cal. a day, im not sure whats considered healthy. good luck and be smart about any choice you make

Hi,If you are not overweight but still feel you are fat, maybe you should look at a structured workout system with a personal trainer, who is also a certified nutritionist. This way you will eat healthy and you reshape your body for the long term.Mike is a well known personal trainer and you can down load his program from the Internet, go to my blog below and I wish you Good Luckhttp://celebrateyourhealth.blogspot.comHealthtalk

To lose that weight I would suggest a raw food diet. BUT if you stay 100% on raw and do this, you will experience withdrawal symptoms from cooked food.Raw food will not only help you lose that weight, you will lose fluid retention and your whole body will look much firmer and just glowing. You will also gain a lot of energy.

If your dedicated enough i would say doing forms of cardio would help after weight training... try jump roping, you can burn up to 20 cal. a min. depending on how hard you train

Just do what Nicole richie did, drink a lot of coffee. Purely liquids. Protein shakes, black coffee, green tea, crystal light.

Starve yourself and exercise. I WOULD NOT recommend it though.

Get your *** off the computer and run Fatt *** ....

I need to kno how to lose weight? -

I m 18 and i weight 155pounds and i m trying to get to 115-120 or to my stomach being flat by July. The problem i m only fat from the stomach like i got a gutt, the rest of my body is skinny. I eat everything chips like basically junk food, and i drink a lot of soda. I started to do 150 sit ups day and nite is that going to help me if i do it everyday. I need to know what should I eat, wat exercise to do?

You need to eat a reduced calorie, well-balanced diet.Situps are nice, but they do not burn the fat on the stomach. It might tone up the muscles, but no one will ever see them. You need to do cardio to burn fat. Get out and run! Or, walk. Just get 30 minutes, 3 times a week.Oh, and stop drinking the pop. If you can reduce your calorie intake by 500 calories per day, you will lose a pound. That s about 3 cans of Coke. Switch that to water, and you will see results.

well currenly i am trying to drop 30-40 pounds by summertime.I am short.Like 5 1and I weighed 147I now weigh 140and have been on Meridia for 3 days fully.I ve had no side affects thus far. it seems to be working pretty well due to already losing 7 pounds.This is also without doing any physical activity thus far although I do plan too.

I applaud your motivation to want to lose some weight. However, you have to remember that losing weight isn t a 1 week thing. It takes time. The situps will definitely help your stomach but don t overdo it. Just try to be constant. Also, you have to stop eating chips and drinking too much soda. Fruits, vegetables and juice will be better. Hope you reach your goal.

Stop eating the junk food and soda. Change to a healthy diet of fruit, vegetables rice, salads and meat/fish skinless chicken fat free meat. Drink water rather than soda or cordial. Continue the sit ups and add more exercise, like walking and running and so on.Your local doctor can help with diet,

How to lose weight fast.........? -

I need to lose 15 pounds fairly quickly. I excercise 2 hours everyday and eat super healthy. Can you give me any tips on how to loose the weight (besides something you have to pay for)?

exercise, but first you should warm up, stretchings before exercise.. avoid sweet foods, such as chocolates etc.. eat vegetables, sunc as carrots, brocolli , cauli flower etc...most of all discipline yourself ok...or may try out door sports with your friends like mountain biking.. its good form of loosing weight, trust me.. like me i loose weight by 20lbs

If you HAVE to lose quickly, carbs store in your body differently that protein does. Carbs need water where protein does not, so if you cut them out, you will lose the water weight. This is the logic behind the Atkins diet. HOWEVER, I wouldn t recommend killing yourself to lose fast. In my opinion, diets do not work because the probability of not sticking to it and gaining it all back is high. Instead, if it is that important to you, make it a LIFE STYLE change. It seems that you are doing well already. What is the big rush? Don t pay for anything unless it is a trainer (which is expensive but worth it), just work hard. Remember, it takes time for you to see results so stay determined!

Just keep on doing what you are doing. Stay away from sugars but fast is not always best most people that loose weight to fast end up rebounding and adding back the weight plus a little more.

youll lose weight doing what you are doingand alsoooooooo become vegan youll feel great, be doing a goodthing for animals, and you will have th plus of losing weight

mmm.don t drink any sodas, try walking to places close by, and basiccally yeah just exercise and eat heathly.you sound like you re on the right track

do not take in sugar and losing that weight will be easy.

the key is dont eat things w/ salt at all

just movebe sure you sweat

How to lose weight?? -

Ok, I know HOW to lose weight, but it just really isn t working. I work out about an hour to an hour and half a day, usually swimming, trampoline, jogging, walking or tennis. I eat right, I have been eating three smalls meals a day. (foods low in calories and fat, and that are nutricious) I have been doing this for almost 4 weeks, and all that happened is I gained a pound and a half. What the heck??? I am not doing everything right?? I don t get why I am not losing the weight? I want to lose about 16lbs (about 133 at the moment) and nothing I do is really working. Can anyone tell me a) why I m not losing weight and b) how can I lose weight?? Thanks!KateOh, and I have also measured my waist, and I haven t gotten any smaller there either....???

WII FIT is fun and a great way to get fit and as you are 14 you could get your mates to play it with you. All you need to do is do a few hours a day and then before you no it you will be loseing weight.but dont just give up after a week if it doesnt work besause it may take time to lose some weightHope This Helps

There is very good knol on this subject. http://knol.google.com/k/nag-reddy/how-to-lose-weight-fat/pvuq01yriqkn/2#

I ve heard that when women start working out their bodies go into starvation mode for the first 3 weeks and hang on to everything for dear life.Are you working out hard enough? You should make sure your workouts are strenuous. To know if you re working out hard enough you should try to speak. If you can carry on a conversation, it s too easy. Are you sure you need to lose weight? Maybe you should check the weight guidelines. The recommeneded weight for an 18- 24 year old women who is 5 4 is 124 to 138 lbs. If you are that height or taller you don t really need to lose weight. Maybe you aren t losing weight because your body is healthy and wants to stay that way.

Well, you probably are at a good wieght. You don t need to lose any. But, if you strictly do a good cardio workout 3 - 5 times a week, that will probably give you the results you are looking for.

How do you lose weight in your arms? -

It seems that I can only lose weight in my stomach but I would like to know how to lose weight in my arms. Anythhing is better than nothing.

You cannot lose weight in just specific body areas. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body. Vary your routines. Don t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn t adjust to any one routine.An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.

Freeweights and isometrics are your best bet. Don t get a freeweight set that s too heavy, either. Secondly, you can get wrist weights as well that add a certain level of extra weight to every movement of your hand, which makes even the most mundane things you do with your hands burn just that much more energy.Isometrics is simple, you can even do it while sitting watching television - get a slight weight of around three to five pounds and simply hold it in your outstretched arm/hand for as long as you can. When the weight overwhelms you, rest and proceed with the other arm. Alternate and you ve got a nice little mindless exercise that should tone your arms over time.

exercising a particular part of the body does not necessarily mean that that is where there will be noticeable change. Even so doing push ups and lifting weight could help because then you build the muscles there and they continue to burn fat even long after you have stopped the exercise.

for a day or two log what you eat normally. go www.my-calorie-counter.com to enter your foods. this will give you an idea of how carbs protein and fats you eat regularly. cut your calorie intake by 30%. avoid starchy foods like potato yams breads. eat more protein. decrease your food intake learn to lift weights start off really light like 8 lbs. 12-15 reps twice. increase lbs every week until you reach 20 lbs or whatever is comfortable for you. check out other info on the net.

Do you know anything on how to lose weight fast? -

Do you know any tips on what to eat and what not to eat? My goal is 5-10 pounds(which is all I need). Please tell me you know something!!

Try going on walks after lunch and dinner. I don t like to run, but I walk every day after lunch at work. I work at a large office plex so after eating, I put my sneakers and workout clothes on and I will just go up and downstairs a few times and then walk around outside for awhile and enjoy the beautiful scenery. After work, I walk around the neighborhood. Spiritually, it always releases the negativity and keeps me clear. Physically, it keeps you in shape as well. Dieting is difficult. I d say eat what you want (within reason!) and take on some exercise regularly and those pounds should come off. Good luck.

I have the same goal! 3I could give you my diet plan if you want?Just an idea:Breakfast;3/4 cup of special k(any flavor)1/2 cup of low fat silka few pieces of melon or starwberries*DON T HAVE FRUIT AFTER NOON*Eat a few vegetables or a special k bar or luna bar 2 hours later.Lunch;Spinach salad with almonds and light italian dressingOREgg white cut into two pieces on two kashi crackers with asparagusSnack; More veggiesor 1/4 cup of plain tuna on special k crackersDinner;Japanese noodles(you can buy fresh in the organic section)with snapped peas and squash in a little soy sauce(eat about a cup)Snack;Special k or luna bar or quakesDrink AT LEAST 64ounces of water. Which is 8 glasses/2 liters.I work out EVERYDAY for 45 mins. ON THE TREADMILL.So if you go outside and walk for that amount(speed) it should work.I do crunches/sit ups/leg lifts. And it is REALLY working. NO FRIED/FAST FOOD/NO MAYO/NO BEEF/NO SUGARY SWEETS!

steamed foods like chicken and rice with lots of water no pop. take away the pop and you will lose 5 pounds right away.

I went on a fruit diet for a month and lost 10 pounds, it s a pretty good diet for me

stay away from any WHITE foods. (bread, rice, potatoes..) lay off the carbs! and exercise.
