everyday, set goals for yourself. first start off with how many pounds you are trying to lose? have a fitness journal, believe it or not, but it really helps. Everyday, have confidence that you can do it, and when you do want something sweet, think what is better, to eat a sweet and gain fat or be skinny and look pretty? Exercise a lot daily, never skip meals. Special K products are the best for each diet. Drink lots of water. Eat salads for lunch. low-fat or fat-free yogurts are good snacks also. choose everything as lite, or fat free and dont eat after 6pm. Good luck! =)

The best way obviously, is to cut calories, but do it a little bit at a time. PLEASE don't try to lose a lot of weight fast! One to two pounds a week I think is good. You will most likely gain in right back if not a little more if you lose it fast. If you aren't already active, be active! Not to necessarily work out, but get outside and just do something. Walk instead of driving if you can, for example. You are at a very tough age of your life, stay true to yourself! Don't let others get you down! You need to love yourself before you can love others.

OK get real and check it out! stop eating fast food, chips, any carbohydrates that aren't good for you like french fries etc, stop all sugar candy etc, no soft drinks even the diet ones, drink lots of water and for goodness sake exercise at least 45 minutes a day (even in the privacy of your home) dance , move, jump up and down watch Richard Simmons whatever, you can't find a pill that will make you lose weight fast. It doesn't work, so forget it. Get serious about your weight and you will lose it, eat smaller portions! No pasta! no Pizza! eat a lot of veggies, fish chicken, salads, fruit(freshfruit) ask your mom to help you. but stick to it or you will always be fat!

First of all you need to cut out any pop and junk food that you eat. It is the best way to keep off weight. If you do have a larger body, your body can handle calories, so don't starve yourself. Eat small portioned meals. Make sure you drink pleanty of water. And the most important rule is to have SELFCONTROL. Every decision you make is your own. You are the only one that makes the decision. So think before you act. Get use to eating fruits. And cut out and drinks that are high in sugar, this includes Gatorade and Powerade and other drinks like that. I lost 40 pounds in almost 2 months by cutting food out and only increasing exercise a little.
Good Luck, I hope you can find some success

Losing weight is not the answer. You do not need to lose weight to get a boyfriend. You need to work on your self image first in order to even think about getting a boyfriend. If you want to change the way your body looks then start exercising and eating healthy. 3 healthy meals a day with a good snack between meals is great. Do work on your self image though as beauty really does come from within and not totally from the body you have. Trust me my son's girlfriend is heavier and more plain jane but she is confident about herself and has therefore gotten a boyfriend aka my son.

The best way I've found to lose weight fast is to gain enough self confidence to get the energy for the motivation you need to work out and live a healthy lifestyle. Such as eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. So the answer is Gaining confidence = Losing weight. Doing it to be accepted by others doesn't work.

ok, I'm going to spare you all of the "beauty is only skin deep and I'm sure you're beautiful" speech, I'm sure you've heard it a millions times in health class and after school programs.... so lets get to it.
1) You need to cut out ALL carbs (the most you can have is a few whole wheat melba toasts a day)
2) Cut out ALL fats - oils, fatty meats, you name it (even watch what hand creams you use)
3) vitamin B - get anything except Jamiesons (they're a crap brand)
4) the only fruit you can have is oranges (not tangerines), apples, strawberries - no other berries or juices
5) you can have most vegetables - avoid beans (starchy ones), carrots, potatoes, etc...
6) no dairy what so ever
you're going to be keeping your calorie intake to 300-500 calories per day. You're going to eat A LOT of salads with only minimal LIGHT salad dressings. To help, you can put tuna (thats packed in water) on top. Try a few stir fry's but DON'T USE OIL - use water to cook with.
But I promise you, if you can actually stick to this - you will drop 5 lbs in the first 7 days.
Don't cheat... one cheat makes it a million times easier to cheat again.

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

try fasting
depite what over 50% of people say it is acculy very good for you. lookit up there are so many benefits aswell as loosing weight. its quick and surprisingly easy. so many people say omg i cant go a day without food, they think they cant but they can go much longer than that. fasting started way back, ppl would fast for months. heres the basic important things you need to know. the day before u start fasting tell yourself that are are gonna stop eating tomorrow and look forward to it. make that the last thing you tell yourself when u go to sleep too. when u wake up do your usual things but dont eat and dont be around food. you wont be hungry but the only reason you will want to eat is because you like miss the taste and or your bored. you can try a juice fast, it would be easyer. just drink juice and water for a couple weeks. when u start the fast it might be a lil tough, you'll have to find alot of things to distact you, eating takes up alot of time sometimes, many people eat out of boredom. so anyways when you start your toungue will go all white and yukky and thats just the toxins leaving your body, as soon as the white goes away, (which might be weeks or longer) you must stop fasting. you you go past that point then you are starving yourself. you can choose to quit before the white goes away though. and when you do quit, weather its after a four day fast or a 2 week fast, you must do that very carefully, DO NOT immediately start eating like u used to. start slooooow. first day start with a salad at lunch or something, maybe a small bowl or soup. next day some fruits etc. keep light you do not need to eat 3 meals a day right away. you should eat light and small portions for about 5 days or so. longer if you feel. then you should eat normal meals but not like you used to, try to eat healthyer and lighter. mnay people after they have fasted for longer than a week expirience a natural high. they feel soo confident and soo good about themselves. not even joking. i know this from personal expirience. i find it best to go on a camping trip with a good friend whos willing to do it with you maybe. without taking food to ditract you. its always easyer when u have a bud with you. at the beggining you might feel a little down and maybe a bit sick but that will only last for a few days, remember its gotta get worse before it gets better. after that you will feel amazing. if u do it for more than a week. a couple days is fine to though to start off, to show yourself you can do it. but do some research yourself on it. if u go for more than 3 days of fasting be sure to have a doctor that belives in it to monitor what your doing and give you some tips etc. or know exactly what your doing. i also find it best not to tell to many ppl as they will think your crazy, to bad they dont know the truth. try it just for a day if ur not sure, remember tell urself the night before though that your going to fast, and look forward to it. i've dont this before i know what im talking about. good luck hope this works miricles for you as it did me! oh and when u start you will likely lose 3-4 pounds the first few days then 1 pound a day from then on.
