i know that i am not obese and am not overly overweight, but i do have some fat on my thighs, stomach and butt that i would like to get rid of. this summer i was really inactive and i may have gained some more weight- especially on my butt. do u thinl that when i go to school i ll lose a little weight b/c i ll be active? i don t know if i ll have the time to take up a sport, though if i do i ll take tennis. but what are some other ways i can lose a little weight this year? also, i find it hard to control my eating. food is constantly on my mind and sometimes i find it hard to not control myself. i know may of you might say to start learning self-control, but how can i? another problem is that i live with my dad and he usually buys the grocery, he doesn t choose healthy food, so its hard for me to eat the way that i want to. and when i get hungry for a small snack or ffruit we don t have any- only big meals, which may contribute to me eating more than i should.
Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It��s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips. * Be in right frame of mind Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image. * Eat whole food Top weight loss tips Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine. * Eat fresh fruit Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season. * Drink enough water Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up. * Always chew your food Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion. * Take small meals Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal. * Include protein at meal Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt. * Shut off TV while eating Shut off the TV whenever you eat �C that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories! * Increase your physical activity Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It��s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you��ll stick with it.

Hi This plan worked for me so here goes,If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckxGood luck
First of all you might find it hard to control your eating because without knowing it your food intake is actually what you are controlling. Because you choose to put the food in your mouth and so on. What I am getting to is are you controlling your food intake in such ways because everything else going on in your life is not in your control? Something to think about..What I did to lose weight was cut all my portions that I normally would eat in half. Like you I was unable to eat the most healthiest foods so I just cut down on the junk I was having to eat. Also I did crunches about 1000 a day. You can do crunches in bed before you go to sleep or right when you wake up. If I was watching TV i would do crunches during commercials.Be sure to take a good multi vitamin for women. Actually, even though I am assuming you are not pregnant a over the counter pre-natal vitamin would be very good. They contain a good amount of iron and niacin. Iron you will lose allot of monthly because of your period cycle and the niacin will help clean your body of the bad stuff in your body. Dollar General has their own off brand of pre-natal vitamins that are very affordable.Good Luck and I Hope This HelpsAlso I know you said you couldn t pick out your own foods but my friend tried this diet and it worked for her so here is another option.Sacred Heart Medical DietThis 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy. SOUP: 1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes 3 plus large green onions 1 large can of beef broth (no fat) 1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle) 1 bunch of celery 2 cans green beans 2 lbs. Carrots 2 Green Peppers Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender. This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. DRINKS: Unsweetened juices Tea (also herbal) Coffee Cranberry juice Skim milk Water, water, water DAY ONE Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today. DAY TWO All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don t eat any fruits through today. DAY THREE Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds. DAY FOUR Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets. DAY FIVE Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today. DAY SIX Beef and veggies, eat to your heart s content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today. DAY SEVEN Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish. By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again. This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol. Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don t need caffeine after the third day. The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days. Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically. DO NOT - DO NOT No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Remember, absolutely no fried foods. DO - DO - DO - DO Drink plenty - at least 6 to 8 glasses - of water a day, as well as any combination of the following beverages: black coffee, unsweetened fruit drinks, cranberry juice and skim milk. This diet comes from the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital that is used for overweight heart patients in order to lose weight rapidly, usually prior to surgery.

Your goal shouldn t be to lose weight fast . People who lose weight too quickly tend to put it back on.Ask your dad if you can go grocery shopping with him. I m sure he wouldn t object to you wanting to eat healthier foods. I understand the feeling of food constantly being on your mind. Learn what activities you do that make you think of food (i.e. I always want to munch while watching tv) and try to limit your time doing those activities. Go for a walk instead, keep your hands and your mind occupied.And exercise!!! This is a big thing. In order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in. Go for a walk 30 minutes each day. Walking/jogging will help you target the areas you re looking at losing weight from. If you re going to run, be super careful about not doing too much, too quickly, or you ll get injured. Check out www.coolrunning.com for some beginner training routines.
