Answer 1

First of all calm down, it sounds like you are getting in a state about it. You are right you would benefit from losing a bit of weight but here's the good news, you have picked the perfect stage in your life to do it.
1. you are just starting puberty when you body shape will change anyway and you will be using extra energy growing.
2. if you get it right now, you will never need to worry about it again.

So, forget fast, in fact forget weight loss for the minute. Think instead about reevaluting your lifestyle so that it is more healthy. Like I say, you've pick a great time to do it as things will be changing alot over the next few years for you anyway. You can guide those changes to be healthy ones.

First look at what you are eating. Make sure you are getting your 5 portions of fruit and vegetables. What's a portion I hear you ask, well if you think in terms of eating a minimum of 1lb in weight of fruit and veg every day you won't go far wrong. Next water, at least 3 pints a day, don't let yourself get thirsty, drink constantly throughout the day. Then exercise, take up some activity, make it something you enjoy. Ok perhaps you dont' enjoy exercise much just now, in that case make it something you can stand to do regularly, you will find as you get fitter and slimmer you will begin to enjoy it more.

Don't get too obsessed with your weight, you are growing remember so it should be going up. Also as you increase your activity levels then you will have a greater muscle density. Muscle is denser than fat so 1lb of muscle takes up less space. You weight may not go down as much as you'd hoped but you may still be getting thinner.

The most important thing is that you get it into your head that you have to make permenent changes to your lifestyle. It is what you do every day that decides you size and weight. So you every day habits, what you do naturally, are what will get you slim and healthy and keep you there. So it's vitally important that any changes you make are ones you can stick with or however sucessful you are once you go back to your old habits the weight will go back on.

Make being slim and healthy as much fun as being overweight and unhealthy and you won't go far wrong.

Good luck

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.

It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!
