help losing weight?

Question

Ok so i want to lose weight i weigh like 115 right now and i'm 14 yrs old and 5'3 or 5'4. I want to lose like 10-15 lbs. I don't like soda pop so i don't drink that, i eat junk food but currently not except like pigging out on cake, brownies, cookies, and ice cream. but i'm not eating candy at the moment because of lent. but i'm thinking about just eating that on special occasions from now on. i excercise for about 1 hr daily, and ya that's pretty much it. How can i get to my goal weight by at least july?? i really want to be in the best shape for summer and stay that way. so if you have any ideas on dieting and excercise that would really help thanks!

Answer 1

I'm about the same age as you and I think it sounds good what your are doing, like not eating junk food, are you drinking lots of water?
Doing Cardio?
I suggest cardio, like running, or aerobics, it helps the body lose weight, ALSO
baby spice swears that body brushing (exfoliating the body with a stiff brush) helped her lose 5lbs of more.
Good luck, just remember be responsible, don't stop eating or anything.

Answer 2

Be really careful, you probably don't really need to lose that much weight... But make your exercise routine contain more running. Try running a mile every day or something. That gets rid of fats the fastest. But don't just do 1 mile all the time. Work your way up as high as you want.

But don't expect results right away. If you start now, you should be in pretty good shape for July

Answer 3

I'm 17 and 98 lbs and I got there bcause i followed these easy guidelines that are very healthy for you.

First and Best Way: Excersize!!!!!!!!!!! You need to excersize atleast 1 hour a day and I would say Running/Jogging is the best way to go about it. But personally, I hate that so I do jumping jacks, skip rope, rollerskate, and run up-and-down my stairs. Any type of rigorous, systematic movement can be considered excersize

Second Way: Reduce your intake of highly saturated fats! Stop eating those artery-clogging french fries, chicken wings, etc. It's okay to eat them once a week but don't pig out on them. If you normally order a Large Fries, then order Medium one next time.

Third Way: Reduce your intake of Meat Products. That way, you save animals and help benefit your health. It's true that meat has protein and iron, but you can get iron supplements and protein from vegeterian food. I'm not saying you should have a vegeterian diet from now on (even tho I am a vegeterian); I'm just saying you should reduce your intake of meat. So if you eat meat everyday, cut it down to three days a week.

Fourth Way: Eat your fruits and vegetables. I eat three fruits and three vegetables everyday and I think that has worked for me pretty well (I'm 100 pounds ..n no I'm not anoerexic (did I spell that right?)) Anyways, urge your parents to buy more fruit and veggies and include them in your dinner. Even if you don't want to eat as many fruits and veggies as I do, you should atleast have two fruits and two veggies in your diet EACH day. There is good vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, water, and other stuff in there that helps you lose weight.

Fifth Way: Water is a natural appetite suppressant, so developing a good water drinking habit can be a long-term aid in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Doctor F. Batmanghelidj MD, author of "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" says most times your “hunger” is your body asking for water – not food. It's also important to remember that when the body is dehydrated, fat cells get "rubbery" and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that it's harder to lose when you don't drink your water.

Sixth Way: Drink lukewarm water with two table spoons of honey daily (easy way out and fast)

Seventh Way: One-Two table spoons of vinegar (also the easy way out and fast)

Anyways, those were a few options that you can try simultaneously (which is what I recommend) or one-by-one. You take care of urself and good luck with that!

Answer 4

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)

Answer 5

Eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables, drink purified water and lots of it. Run everyday for at least 20 minutes - make sure you sweat.
But if don't like that and want to spend some money and buy a high quality diet system that really works, then try these people http://www.oxyfresh.com/vlad

Hello,

There are some tricks you can do to boost your metabolism.

Like lift weights to get more muscle mass so that it requires more calories(fat) to burn.

If you are gone to do that then you should know this.....

More weight with less reps = Mass(bigger muscles) and Strength.

Less weight with more reps = Muscle Tone and Endurance.

Or you can use one of the many fat burning supplements that body builders use. Basically they trick your body to burn more calories.

But the same rule applies that applies with diets, You will have to take in less calories daily so your body can burn the fat reserves. That means you will have to give up junk food....
