What is the best weight loss program to lose weight fast. 10-15 lbs in 2-3 months.?

Question

I'm the Dad of a 14 yo girl who has a formal in mid December. We have been looking for a dress and can not find one that fits or looks nice on her. She has a bit of a spare tire around the mid section. Are there any good diet plans that are safe, where she could loose 10-15 lbs before the big night? Thanks for all imput. A concerned father.

As an answer to the last reply. My daughter has approached me to help her to loose weight. I have been trying to lead by example. I am 5'9" and weigh 153lbs. We are into martial arts, together, we train about 6 hours total a week. 1-1/2 hour sessions, 4 days a week. I would never tell my beautiful girl that she is fat. I have nothing but praise for her and her accomplishments. I am concerned for her health and her future. Since I have never had a weight gain problem I do not know exactly how to help her with the task ahead, but am willing to do what ever is necessary to provide the guidance and support needed to help her succeed. Thanks for all the advise already submitted.

Answer 1

Read this book from library, "You are not sick you are thirsty" he explains a lot about water and sea salt. He says most of our problems w/health is dehydration. I have tried it and it has worked on several things. One thing is the stomach area, water and "sea salt" very inexpensive compared to health, doctors, hospitialization, etc.. He explains about weight and water so it is understood easily. I can not exercise or walk, so was looking for other help. I also quit wanting cokes, teas, coffee, which I had something in my hand 24 X7, I did not try to get off my Pepsi or good sweet tea, just didn't want it anymore, after I started on the water program. I was so bad that when I got up at 2 or 3 in the morning, I would get a glass before I go to back to bed drink it and take another one with me. Now I occasionally drink a glass of tea. I NEVER was a water drinker, didn't like it. But he showed me it works. I dont' drink it now because I love it, I drink it because it has proven it works. But you can't forget the sea salt. It maybe be something that helps her too, and a lot of others who have health issues, and weight is a health issue.
If you can get her to walk, maybe you and her set up a time to walk for a little bit every day, either early morning or after dinner for 15 or 20 minutes, would help. My daughter is doing that and rotating days walking/ and exercise video to change up things, because of boredom. She started off with 3lb weights and only been doing it a couple of weeks and you can see a big difference . In the video, they do some floor exercises, some things standing, stepping (which we have no step, so she just does it in place, or on books sometimes. Arms are getting smaller, because they do the floor things too, it helps w/the ab area, hips, thighs ....It only takes 20 or 25 minutes. She is a big girl, sounds like she has the same spare tire problem as your daughter, and no matter what she put on, it was the problem area you had to see if it looked right. Clothes look good on her eventhough she is a "big" person, just in the midsection it looked really bad, it is now looking a lot better.

also try to set a time, like maybe 7:00 and no eathing after that. I have a niece who does this when she wants to loose weight and I am always amazed at her, when she feels she has gained too much, she just says I am not going to eat after 7 pm and does not change her diet, and she looses.

But I would reccomend you checking her diet and try to eliminate all the bad things and educate her, and teach her the best.
Maybe this can be a dad/daughter challenge. Hey do the walks/exercise/water/healthy way of eating together. It will help to inspire her, and to motivate when you have a partner. Maybe there is a relative or friend her age that would also enjoy the fun.

If my daughter was 14 again, I would enourage her to write a journal, if she doesn't already, to keep track of what she eats, and how she is trying to change, so that she is being held responsible and accountable to "herself" not to anyone else. If it is something she wants, she can help to motivate her and to encourage her. It would also be nice, for her to look back in her journal to read when you are no longer around and she has her grandchildren to read her journal and remember the days she spent w/her dad, and how he helped to get her on the right track to better health..........

Just before my daughter,( who I will say is in her late 20's) started doing the walking/exercising , was on the weight watchers diet, for about 2 weeks, and that is something I would reccommend also to you, is to help her with it, it is easy to do. You count point, not calories, and is easy. She is no longer on the Weight Watchers, but I think she maybe getting back on it next week.

. You can sign up on the internet and not have to go to meetings and they will help you out with it. I started it, and you dont' have to do with out all the foods you want, you just choose which foods you want to spend your points on, if you choose a piece of cake, you count to see how many more points you can have the rest of the day. It helps you to learn to be accountable.

She was also drinking water, which she was not a water person either, but saw it was happening to me.

The book was written by Dr. Batman (nickname) you should read the book, he has several books, another one is "Asthma, Allergies, Lupus" among others,they are all good, and I am not a reader normally. Just was desperate, for a little help, as my stomach area was so bloated, swollen, fat or what ever you want to call it, and after about a week, I could tell a big difference, I didn't have all that full feeling I had before and was given several compliments on looking like I lost some weight.

I know this is hard for a young girl, as we have been through that too.

Good luck, and sorry it is so long, but have several serious feeling about your daughter and things I know that could help. I am a middle age woman and I know how it feels to be overweight and want to be able to buy things that look nice too.

After I had my son (about a year later) I started taking Slimquick. Its a great pill that increases metabolism and targets the areas hardest for women to lose without a whacked out amount of extra hormones and unnecessary evils. I also started doing 30 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week and resistance training 2 times a week. Rather than cut out all fats and deprive myself on a diet, I just ate smaller portions and actually paid attention to what I ate. I noticed a difference in the first few weeks. I fell of the fitness wagon over the holidays and have started up with the Slimquick and exercise again and it feels great. Being a stay at home mom, it can be hard to find time for yourself, but you have to make time for yourself. Exercise at nap time or before the baby wakes in the morning. It may be a pain because that's when you want to rest, but you'll feel better and be better for your child in the end. Good luck, Mama!

Answer 4

One question... Is this something that she agrees with you on? In other words... does she think she is too heavy to look good in a dress? Or is it just you that thinks so...

If you haven't had this discussion with her, then don't. She may be become upset by the fact her own Dad thinks she's heavier than usual. Just start leading by example - you should practice what you are asking her to do.

And definitely, I would be concerned if she is overweight... even by a little bit. The sooner she can be concerned about her own health (NOT weight standards), then the better life she will lead in the long run.

You should watch what you both eat and exercise together (walking, biking, swimming, running, hiking, etc.).

Best of luck! :)

Answer 5

She needs to decrease her calorie intake. For starters, stop eating foods that are high in fat, carbohydrates and sugar. She needs to eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grain, nuts, and drink more water. Also, she needs to exercise, if she starts to walk at least 25 minutes a day, then gradually increase to an hour, she will lose the weight. Bottom line: eat healthier foods, exercise more, and drink more water. You should see changes within a month

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
