I'm a teenager and pretty overweight. I currently weigh 174 with a target somewhere in the 130's. I've tried many diets this summer and exercise everyday, including cardio and training. Somehow, I've not been seeing results. My diet has changed considerably as well. Does anyone have any clue why I'm not seeing results? And if so, then what I could do to see faster results?

To clear up confusion:
I currently exercise for an hour or more daily, but this is only a recent development.
And my diet is in a rough 1,200 limit, but I sometimes induldge too much.

15 pounds in one month is unrealistic and impossible to do in any way that resembles healthy. The goal for healthy weight loss would be 1-2 pounds a week of fat loss. To do this you should eat less and exercise more. Try to work up to 60 minutes of exercise daily. This should include several days a week of toning and weight work. The cardio can be a simple as taking a brisk walk. Exercise tapes are also very good if you do not have access to gym equipment. The Biggest Loser DVDs have good reviews. Cut out the junky processed foods: candy, soda, chips, cookies, cakes, etc. You can eat small portions of these foods because if you feel deprived you will likely brake your diet. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Use the plate method. Half your plate should be fruits and veggies, a quarter lean protein, and a quarter whole grains. Snack on veggies and fruit. You should eat heavier in the morning than at dinner. This is the food that will carry you through the day. The poster above me's suggestion is way too few calories.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Get started today!

I have just the site for you, I think you'll really like it. Sparkpeople.com, They have all kinds of health stuff on there and you can even earn points when you read their health articles.

I would suggest that you do your exercise 4-6 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes, MINIMUM of 30 minutes and work hard!

Cut these in half, what you eat now: all portions, cheeses, sodas, fast food meals, fried foods, greasy foods, cut out all sweets except for 1 day a week, then go for it! This will help alot. If your output (exercise) is more than your input (eating) you'll lose. You still may not be exercising enough, or you're eating too much, or not the right things. Hope some of this helps....

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didn’t get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.drcharleslivingston.tv - it will blow your mind.

There are 3 components to weight reduction - exercise, diet, and motivation.
One resource I found that succeeds in merging these is the Triple trim tactic (check it out on google) definately the most incredible diet i've heard of.

Honostly I dont think ur bein too honost on the food part. Its the hardest part but u need to cut out all junk food. Never give in to ur cravings. They usually go away in 10 minutes n e way. I weighed 180 wen I was 14, I lost 30 lbs ina month from simple healthy eatin n exercising u do. U shut b eatin about 15000 calories a day. May seem lyka lot, but the exercising needs it.
GOOD LUCK!! <33

Online weight loss programs

Weight loss programs are a popular option for people who want to shed pounds rapidly in a safe manner. Weight loss programs offer a process to safely and effectively loose weight according to a plan. Weight loss is achieved when the calorie intake is less than the calories burnt. Weight gain or loss largely depends on the lifestyle of an individual. An effective weight loss program is required to attain weight loss. A person with a sedentary life style needs lot of efforts to lose weight as compared to a person with an active lifestyle.

Most weight loss programs are a careful mix of a balanced diet and regular and planned exercise. Most weight loss programs provide a counselor who may be contacted via phone or Internet to answer personal questions. They also provide advice as to how weight loss may be maximized. These programs mainly focus on balanced nutrition.

Ideally, weight loss programs should aim at weight loss as well as waist inch loss. The chosen weight loss program should be safe and consistent. It must be carried out under professional guidance.

A person interested in losing weight should have his/her concerns answered to his/her satisfaction before adopting a weight loss program It is generally believed that most weight loss programs are unable to provide long term weight control and therefore the past record of a particular program must be taken as the main criteria for its adoption.

It is advisable to consider only those online weight loss programs that have a track record of proven and guaranteed results. A majority of these online weight loss programs are to be paid for and hence the user must ensure quality before spending money on them.

There are a multitude of weight loss programs to choose from. Some programs can be carried out with friends who have the same goal. Some people depend on websites, diet books and videotapes that contain various exercises. They set goals for themselves and use their own instincts while selecting a program. Non-clinical programs are the ones devised by fitness experts and gyms. These are usually customized programs. Clinical programs are carried out in a medical setup like a clinic under the supervision of health experts.

A weight maintenance program should follow a structured weight loss program. When a person loses weight, the fat cells are only temporarily compressed. When the person resumes normal routine, these fat cells start expanding again. This would prove to be a wasted effort. Hence, weight management steps should be inculcated in daily life. Weight management is a lifelong process. One of the ways to maintain weight is by increasing the physical activity in an individual’s daily routine.

The following are the various weight loss programs available today to a person interested in losing weight - low fat diets, high protein diets, fixed menus, pre-packaged meals and formula diets. Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and E-diets also offer these programs online.

Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're dry. Don't eat if you're not hungry. Exercise. Yoga at home is a good start, and it's addictive.
