Answer 2

Consider joining Weight Watchers (you can join them online, if you can't get to meetings)--many doctors believe they're one of the healthiest programs.

I ditto the answerer who said that you shouldn't lose more than about 2 pounds a week. While you may be impatient, losing more can put incredible strain on your body--your heart, for example, despite that you're only 11, and your muscles, and your bones. Remember that you're still growing, and your body can use some of the excess weight you've already put on to help with that. When you get your full height, your weight will be better proportioned. Another reason not to try to lose more than pounds a week is that a bigger goal is harder to meet, and you'll get discouraged faster. Don't worry--even losing the first 10 pounds, you'll feel better and look better, and that will be good incentive for the rest.

Other hints? Drink a lot of water. Walking's good exercise; maybe you or your neighbor have a dog you can walk? Remember that this weight is who you *were* and the person who's eating healthier and exercising is who you *are.* If you occasionally slip up and pig out, remember that everyone backslides and it's no reason to quit.

Answer 3

Keep your head up and know that it is possible to lose weight. That is what you have to tell yourself and keep your plan up and running.
You lose 2-4 pounds a week by cutting 500 calories out a day. so if you usually intake 2000 calories a day, do 1500 calories a day.
Exercise 30 minutes 3-5 days a week. just get out and walk or go to a gym and use a tread mill and then switch to a bike.
eat veggies and fruit and limit carbs. but do not cut out carbs completely. your body needs carbs to function properly. drink water.
The easiest way to cut out calories is no carbonated beverages, sweet cakes, candy bars, etc. If you have a craving, reach for an apple, or orange...

good luck and know that it will take longer than 19 weeks to drop 90 pounds. it will take more like 6-8 months. but stay consistent and focused! Good Luck and I am proud of you trying! ;P

Answer 4

That is unsafe and unhealthy. You didn't put on the weight in 19 weeks so you shouldn't expect it to come off in 19 weeks. You should expect to lose 2 to 3 pounds a week. Limit your caloric intake to 1300 calories a day and do 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week.

Answer 5

Go on weight watchers. Or just stop eating all bread and pasta and anything with sugar, except fruits. You will loose it fast at first because the heavier you are the faster you loose it at first, then it will get slower, but 2 pounds a week is a good goal, one that you can still be happy accomplishing and enjoy your life. And if you want to loose it fast do aerobic exercise 30 min a day too.

Answer 6

In 19 weeks huh? I'm 11 too.. My friend was 213 pounds at 10 last year, she lost 87 pounds in 10 weeks by eating three meals a day, ALL fat free. ( For 10 weeks ) She ran as fast as she could up and down bleachers that lost a lot of her weight. She ran track and did sit-ups. You AREN'T that over weight.

Answer 7

Okay Ms # 11.... cut out ALL fast foods... and that includes pizza and French fries. All foods that have " white " in them go ,too... that would be doughnuts, white bread, chips, pasta, cookies,,, anything made with white flour. Sodas are full of sugar.., so cut to water or sugar free. No more butter. Your diet should consist of lean protein ( and you do need protein), and Fiber ( fruits and vegetables ) . Now, this sounds horrible.... right? But I promise, in just a few weeks you will LOOK and FEEL so much better !!!! And lace up those running shoes !! Good luck sweetheart... YOU CAN DO THIS !!!!!

Answer 8

My biggest struggle was always that I hated exercise. It felt like a chore! I found that I loved to play hockey, though, and in doing that lost 25 lbs in 3 weeks. I don't suggest losing that much weight that fast, its really not a good idea. The point is, if you look to go to the gym and 'work out' and you're not the 'work out' type, you'll hate it and it will feel like a chore. Find a way to make it fun.

I also tried running at one point. I hate running, and I didn't want anyone to see me doing it. So I went at night, when it was dark out, so that no one could see me.

Just some ideas. Good luck!!

Answer 9

I'm sorry to burst you're bubble but its most likely not going to be done. At best with a healthy diet, drinking lots of water and exercising several hours a day you'll probably lose 40-50 pounds, and that is BEING VERY generous, with no cheating. You shouldn't lose more than 3 pounds a week, and such a strict diet isn't recommended for someone at your age anyway.

Answer 10

If you are 11, your body is STILL developing. Don't do anything rash. Please, let your mom take you to the doctor and have the doctor prescribe a diet plan for you, so you can maintain your health while you lose weight. Probably, she'll have you eat a prescribed number of calories, healthier selection of food, and increase your exercise... as to the 11 weeks plan, again, let the doctor help you on this.

Answer 11

90 pounds in 19 weeks. That's a tall order, although not impossible. I hate to say it, but you're going to have to work your butt off. Running, weights, aerobics, all day every day until you're ready to fall down. Watch what you eat, avoid fried foods, fats, and sweets. Increase your carb and protein intake slightly, rice, fish, and chicken are excellent foods as long as not fried. Start taking a multivitamin complex, plus additional calcium.
