Answer 1

how tall are you

Answer 2

Well, it sounds like you are pretty overweight (not an insult - so am I!) I'd talk to your doctor about what your ideal weight is. I don't know how tall you are, so can't really answer your question. Check out this website to determine your ideal weight http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

I'd still talk to your doctor, since as a pre-teen, this chart is probably not accurate.

Just keep in mind, that you should feel healthy. Don't worry too much about what other people say your weight should be. As far as the BMI charts go, when I was in high school, I was 5'11", weighed about 175 pounds, and had about 3% body fat. (I was a very active athlete and ran about 50-70 miles a week). According to the charts, I was overweight. I'm thinking, unless I cut off a leg, I'm not going to lose any more weight!

Answer 3

You need to lose about 125-135 poounds. Heres what u can do to achieve this.

Jog everday for about 20-30 mins
Do a total of 30 sit ups 30 pushups and 30 squats (with 10pound weights) untill u lose the weight

Also this may sound weird but only let your parents feed you. Tell them u want to lose weight and they should know what to feed you. DO NOT SNACK ANYMORE!!! Ohh and watch less tv and go play with your friends. Anymore questions email me at [e-mail]

And just so u know im 15 and 6 feet tall (only 2 inches taller than you) and i only weigh 182 and my doc told me thats the perfect weight

Answer 4

You really need to lose weight for you health and it's easier to lose it now than later. I suggest going for an hour walk every day. And eating 4-5 very small meals a day. It will help. Best of Luck!! The link below is to a height/weight chart. Scroll down to the Men's chart and match your height with your frame (probably Medium) and it will give you your target weight. But, for now I would just try smaller goals. Try to get down to 250 by August. 200 by March 2007. 140 by August 2007. DRINK EIGHT GLASSES OF WATER A DAY - NO SODA POP!!

Answer 5

Between 85-100

Answer 6

Its hard to pick a good weight for you without knowing how tall you are. Here are some tips that are key to losing weight. No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86, even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help

Answer 7

Your weight should match your height.

You can find many charts on the Web, mapping height to weight.
Unless we know your height, we can't comment on your weight.

Still, 270 pounds seems excessive. A dietician can help you with that.

Answer 8

You definently should not weigh that much. No i don't know. You should go see a doctor and the doctor will help you and tell you what to do. It also depends on how tall you are. Maybe you should start walking and running outside.

Answer 9

140

Answer 10

I think u should weigh somewhere between 100-130, but like a lot of other ppl say, i think u should ask ur doctor, but its good that u r tryin to take action!

Answer 11

It depends on how tall you are, your frame size, and how muscular you are. Do a search for 'BMI calculator' on google; it will give you a general idea of the weight you need to be at, though it's not completely accurate.
