I am 5''2, 150 pounds, and 13 years old. I am very muscular as compaired to others my age, and I am not terribly fat, but I still wan't to lose weight. How do I speed up weight loss quickly, and easily, and see results fast. I already have been drinking a gallon of water a day, but what else besides that and diet, and exercise can I do. I really think that this would change my life and make me much happier so if u can help please do.

in addition to what every one else said, I would like to add that it isn't possible to lose that much weight quickly and healthily. If you do one of those fad diets that require you to practically starve yourself, the weight WILL come back once you start to eat more normally. Lost the wieght healthily so you don't make yourself sick, honey. And healthy is, I'm afraid, no more than 2 pounds a week.
But like one person said, said cut bread to 2 slices a day. Eat whole grain carbs only (including pasta and especially bread...white bread acts just like pure sugar in your blood stream, which if you have too much it will make you fat). Eat mostly fruits and veggies. You can eat fruits and veggies until you explode. You're going to need to eat protein though, so you don't lose muscle mass, so make sure you eat lean protein (fat-free milk products are a good way to do this, or even beans).
But hon, you have to be happy with who you are. You aren't fat. So what what people say about you. Yes, I remember being a teenager, being slightly bigger than everyone else my age (up until high school, I towered a foot over everyone else...I sprouted early) and the best weight for me was just slightly bigger than every one else. Didn't mean I was a bad person. Or didn't get dates when I started dating. Only YOU can make you happy. If you aren't happy with yourself now, honey, losing weight isn't going to do it. You'll get down there and you still won't be happy. Focus on being healthy and ignore what everyone else says. Skinny is NOT in.

look 1st i wanna tell u that u shouldnt worry about what other people say if ur fat or not because when i was fat they called me names.... i put so much attention to it that it made it more diffucult for me to lose weight... so the first step would be have confidence..dont care what others think of u n love ur self... step 2 would be following this diet...ok this information that i will b giving u is very important because i use to weight 200 at the age of 11 n i wasnt very tall.... now im 17 at 5'7 n i weight 130 pounds...thats very healthy... now this is how i lost all that weight.... it will take u about 3 to 4 months but remmember if u put ur mind to it u can really do it... ok in the morning eat ONLY a bannana with half a cup of 2% milk between 8 n 12 o clock...it depends at wat time u wake up...in the afternoon between1 n 3 o clock eat a regular lunch... when i say regular i mean anything ur mom makes as long as its nothing fattening..eat a lunch that contains no oil or fried in it...its is best to eat meat during lunch time... do not eat hamburgers fries or n e thing from FAST FOOD PLACES... if u want something to go eat something healthy at SUBWAY... the best place to eat when on a diet n want to eat a quick LUNCH not DINNER..if u get hungrey later on between 3 to 7 eat a salad... do not eat after 7 because thats how u gain massive weight trust me.... if u get hungrey between meals eat FRUITS or VEGTABLES...thats it nothing else as snacks.... drink lots of water because water helps u lose the fat because u pee it out... i would say try to fit in 8 glasses of water A DAY....try to excersize... walk around the block every day or if u have stairs go up n down lyk 10 times a day...n e typ of excerisize is good even if it is small... when u first go on this diet u must b determined to do it.... NO SUGAR AT ALL..... when u eat sugar n the sugar reaches u body it turns into FAT....so no sugar lyk candy cookis.... I NO IT WILL B HARD BUT TRUST ME U WILL LOVE THE RESULTS... ok somethings that u most avoid but can eat are milk, bread..ect... what i mean is that when u drink milk get the 2 or 1 % milk NEVER THE WHOLE.... the whole is very fattening...the bread u can eat but NEVER EAT WHITE.... buy wheat....when ever u but a drink lyk orange juice or minite maid ALWAYZ go for the FAT FREE or LOW CARB.....another thing i will go into is the calories ... count ur calorie intake because that helped me when i was in or on a diet.... do not EXCEED more than 2,000 calories... if u go over board or 50 or 75 calories thats ok....but if u intake 2,000 calories a day for a month u will c a drastic change.... remmember 3,500 equal to a pound but if u are not on a diet u can only intake about 2,200 calories a day... but try to intake 2,000 for a diet... do not count the calorie intake of fruits or veggies on ly ur salad n drink and lunch meal... if u follow this u will have great results....remmember be DETERMINED...i would love for u to lose weight because i lost weight when i thought i couldnt... o 1 more thing... sleep for no more than 8 to 9 hours a day because if u exceed that u will gain major weight... sorry if i gave u too much info lol good luck n remmember it worked on me ...PLEEZ TRY N B DETERMINED ... I WOULD LOVE TO C U LOSE THIS WEIGHT :]..

Drink water as if your life depended on it.....carry around a bottle and have it filled and whenever you see it...drink up. Also ...you HAVE to work out....doesn't matter how much or how long...just make sure yo do...CARDIO is key for you since you are already muscular. Cardio and water will be what help...Also...try eating smaller portions of everything...and not too much bread. If you have snacks ...make them healthy.
good luck
