Hello to you! Vanessa here.Well you are definitely young so the weight you can get rid of very quickly. I myself am 37 years old and currently losing weight by drinking protein meal replacement shakes, eating two 250 calorie meals and 2 snacks a day. I also get on my treadmill twice a day for 35 mins in the morning night everyday as well as do a 10 min workout to lose my abs or to strength train.But most importantly, I think you should try to eat smaller meals like 5 to 6 meals a day. By doing this, you will definitely lose weight and increase you workouts to 3 to 4 times a day. Even if you can just exercise for 10 mins a day, alittle goes a long way. And to tell you the truth, mini workouts in my opinion are better because it keeps your metabolism working throughout the day as oppose to exercise a whole hour at one time. If you try these methods, you should definitely see some results! Good luck to you and take care!Vanessa
If you want to lose weight, you have to watch the foods you eat. Like at dinner, only have one serving of pasta and no desert. Limit your calories a little bit- but not too much. Also, exercise plays a huge part in weight loss. Try running or playing a sport. Good luck!
Instead of waddling up and down the staircase, try taking them two at a time. Now this is something that you have to be careful about because we do not want you to trip. So when you do this make sure that your feet are well and truly planted on each step before you increase the beat and try two at a time.
There is no cure all weight loss solution for everybody. Each of our bodies is different. What your first step should be is to see your doctor or pediatrician. He/She will recommend a diet/exercise plan that is SAFE and REALISTIC for you. There are a lot of bogus products and claims out there to get you to spend money, but it s usually about decision making on your part time eat right and exercise.
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).
Wriggle your toes and your fingers whenever you can. This too is a stress buster and it gives you a chance to at least work your hand and leg joints. This will tell you how sore they are and if their condition is so bad, just think of the rest of your body.

Little Tricks To Help You Lose Weight FastYeah we all know that we are supposed to cut calories, do cardio and hit the gym to get in shape, but there are lots of little tricks you shouldn t ignore if you want to slim down quick.Take The Stairs Taking the stairs instead of the elevator every day can help you burn some extra calories. It may not seem like a lot but it adds up. Over a period of a year, taking the stairs can burn off an extra five lbs. of fat.
Im turning 14 this month and 4 months ago i was pretty much in the same position as you, except i m 5 4 and i was about 183 pounds. I lost 30 pounds so far and now i m 150 just from cutting out fast food, soda drinks, and anything else high in calorie, carbs, and sugar. I also went on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day. I m homeschooled though so it s obviously less stressful for me to find time to exercise, you need to find a way to get more motivated before you start because if you give up right away and aren t motivated.. it won t work out. Try a really healthy diet for a few months..and try too push yourself during gym. if that doesn t work out you may need to just find time to excerise daily because it really does speeds up the process.
why dont you go see a nutritionist and have them put you on a diet
Do not overeat and no food after 6pm. You can eat after 9pm though...just kidding... Your body knows how much food it needs so without eating too much you will be on your way to losing your weight gradually. It helped me when I was struggling with extra pounds. Still some light exercise would be useful. Good luck with that!
I m sure to get healthy results there needs to be mainly a change in what and how you eat.All of this I m telling you is valuable information I ve experienced and has worked for me.Make sure to drink 8 cups of water throughout the day or the equivalent of 4 bottles of water. Drink the water each time before you eat anything. Let water be your only drink of choice. You d be surprised of how juice and soda can add up to a lot of calories. In the morning drink a glass of water before consuming anything else and have half a multivitamin with the water.When I started taking multivitamins when I was your age, it made me feel full and less hungry. I guess the vitamins decreased the hunger I felt by supplying my body with nutrients that I would have gotten from food.Daily, have three servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables. Also have three servings of fat free dairy like a glass of milk or a cup of yogurt. Have 6-11 servings of grains, like breads, rice and pastas. Also have about 5.5 ounces of lean meat. Maybe some slices of turkey, or a chicken breast. The calories should be around 1200-1500.Also remember every time you eat, to chew as many times possible before you swallow. You ll feel full faster.Also try to put on some music and dance daily. Just make any excuse to move around.
