I really need help losing weight.?

Question

I am 14 years old and weigh almost 240 pounds. I was really tiny when I was younger but I have started gaining a lot of weight over the past few years. I want this more than anything, but I just can't get motivated to exercise. I usually drink 4-6 cans of Mountain Dew per day, and eat constantly. As of 2 weeks ago though, I haven't had any soda, but I'm still eating McDonald's and Pizza almost everyday. Everyone in my family is stick-thin and can eat anything they want. I am despret to be healthy. I am at high risk for diabetes and heart problems and my life may be on the line. If anybody with experience knows how I can lose weight healthily, I would appreciate it more than you could ever imagine.

Answer 2

get your mom and dad to help you and look together at an all natural way to lose weight for you, use the guys I did and they may just save your life: if losing some pounds of any description and inches is what you want then I would suggest you use a diet that is all natural and is rich in protein and vitamins, which is what the FDA recommends. I used a protein based diet after a friend who had lost a lot of weight with this recommended it to me. All the way through you feel great and energized, you also get great coaching and support along the way. The people are very friendly and gave me lots of great advice. I needed to lose 40 pounds and I did so with no problems. The products really work and you feel great whilst losing weight. I lost all my weight in less than four months and they have helped me to keep it off. I would definitely recommend using them. My sister did this also and lost 76 pounds in five months (She works out, I don’t). There is no pressure and they will even send you a load of free samples so you can try before you buy. The samples were the thing that initially convinced me that this was the right diet for me. You also a get a free complete health consultation with the samples, I just paid the postage and handling, but for what I got it was well worth it. You just to go to myhealthabc.com to register your details to get the free samples and the free advice etc and then they just call you up and ask you a few questions. It was so easy. Their main site is www.myhealthabcmall.com and you can see all the products and packages and order from their. Its nice to have contact with real people who care about you losing weight and improving your health. I am in better health now than I have ever been thanks to these products and I know that I will continue to keep the weight off with the help I have received. Make sure your parents are in on this from the start. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you really are unsure of how to lose weight in a healthy manner, buy a diet book such as the Bestlife Diet. That book is advocated for by Oprah and teaches you about nutrition. Don't buy an diet book that tells you too eat in an extreme fashion like Atkins (20g of carbohydrates a day).

Diet books will give you sample meal plans so you don't have to guess when making healthy decisions. Sometimes even salads can be unhealthy if covered with certain dressings or contain copious amounts of cheese or even crispy fried chicken.

For one thing, alot of teens go through this, when I was 12, I was 190 pounds, a year and a half later I was 128. It will come off, don't lose hope. One thing is to stop eating fast food. I know, this is hard, because Fast food is actually an addiction like nicotine. Eat only when you are hungry. Portion Control..... measure out what you are eating. Drink alot of water. Alot. Go on walks, then move up to jogging. Have your parents take you to see a doc, to find out what kind of regemin you can do, who knows, this could be a glandular problem, that has an easy fix. Goodluck, and best wishes.

Answer 5

Thats a HUGE step you took by stopping the soda. After a month you quit soda and you taste a little soda again it aint gonna taste the same to you (trust me).Drink a glass of water b4 eating.. EAT YOUR FOOD SLOWW. THAT HELPS ALOT!..And also DRINK GREEN TEA!!it is GOOD for you and it helps losing weight!! If your hungry again eat fruits (bananas is high in fiber)a bowl of cereal Milk=LOWFAT 2% 1%.(2% is good) "Special K", "honey bunches of oats",'banana crunch" is slammin an it has wheats and oats and it dont taste too much diety..When your hungry pick up a good book and read 50pages of it.. while chewing gum..or do your nails so you wont be able to touch any food.. and have a hobby because people that get fat is more likely bored.. You dont wanna eat white bread because alot of bread,rice(only brown rice),pasta has starch.. so starch turns to surgar and surgar turns to fat..But also your eligible to go thru the lap-band.. (no matter how old you are you are over weight) Look it up thru www.webmd.com...and google "tips and homemade remedies for losing weight"And also stop using the computer.. I just had 3 cereals and didn't even realize it..lmaoo >fat girl too<

Answer 7

Okay first of all, You have to stop eating pizza and McDonald's every day and you definitely can't drink pop. The only way that you can lose weight is to start eating healthy. No more take out or junk food. Drink tons and tons of water. Exercise regularly and you should lose weight in no time. I did.

Answer 8

Change your diet.....immediately. Period.

You need to start eating more healthful foods. Raw vegatables, lean meat, lighter carbs. Pizza and Mcdonalds should be rarely if ever eaten. Soda is bad to, you should replace it with water as much as possible. You will get used to it over time, but it is hard to kick the sugar and caffiene habit completely.

Exercise is something you will never do without the self motivation and that is a matter of willpower at first. Once you get into a routine it is much easier to keep up.

I wish you the best.

Answer 9

The best way to lose weight healthy is exercise and eat balanced meal. Cut down jucy burgers and french fries and try to eat more white meat, vegitables, and drink lots of water. When you are hungry, go for salada first to make yourself confortably full, then eat main dish (less carbo though). And what I heard from my friend was putting mirrors around you. In that way, you can see yourself eating non healthy meal, which could help you recognise how you've been eating and lead yourself to better way of eating. In anyways, excersise has to come along with diet. Try to push youself excersise, once you could see your weight drop even a bit, it will give you motivation to do better diet. But be careful not to overdo it!

Answer 10

first off dont give up and get discouraged it will take time and work. your doing good by stopping soda, eliminate soda, only drink water, and juices like gatorade and orange juice apple juice etc, then you HAVE to eliminate fast food of any kind. eat at home make your own meals if you have to, make your mom drive you to the store and get the foods you want: veggies, chicken, fish, but mostly veggies and fish and not fried has to be in the oven. steam the veggies, and of course start exercising. go to a gym and talk to a trainer and get a program that works for you. I would reccommend to start off by walking, and then upgrading to jogging and situps etc. but your diets has to change. I hope this helps and I know you can do it, just dont give up, your life depends on it! goodluck

Answer 11

Don't eat anything that has a lot of sugar, drink 100% fruit juice instead of mountain dew or any other sodas. Eat small amounts of food each meal don't skip cause it will make you hungry and you will eat more. Don't eat a lot of junk food like chips and cookies. Try cooking for yourself. Don't eat out at places like MD's.
