Top weight loss tips
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 – 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.

you would be able to tell if you gained a lot of weight because your clothes would be a lot tighter. And if you didn't notice a difference in your clothing size, you probably put on muscle mass from daily summer activities and sports. And i did your BMI ( body mass index) and its 20.7 which is totally healthy!!! So you have absolutely nothing to worry about. And dont try to lose any weight because im sure that there are a lot bigger girls in your school than you. So dont worry about a thing!!!!!!
i hope this helps!!!!

Forget the crap that some people are saying. 120 pounds are totally ok for a teenage girl your height. I don't think you need to reduce your weight.
I think you imagine these people talking about you !
Just let them talk, you are OK !
When you begin listening to these freaks you will become anorectic and that's NOT ok ! These people are not your friends.

Geez, these days if you don't look anorexic you're "fat". Honey, you sound just fine. I wouldn't worry about what other people think. Ignore them. Anybody worth being your friend likes you just the way you are.

Tell them to leave you alone! You are perfect! Just worry about eating healthy-not like a typical teenager! You'll be fine!

Your problem is not really about weight.....it's more about being too self absorbed and obsesed with yourself and too self conscious!
You seem to live your life based on other people ....and what "THEY" think. They're not going to lay down their life and DIE for you. So why do you live YOURS to please THEM!
