Answer 1

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 2

Instead of having 3 meals a day, up it to about 6 meals a day, every 2-3 hours. Not large meals, just small ones. Add in lots of fruit and veges, and drink lots of water. Cut out the crap foods like anything from fast food restaurants, and junk food.

Exercise. Walking, running, jogging, treadmills, bikes, eliptical machines are all great. Crunches to help your mid section.

Don't get discouraged if you don't see results quickly. It takes time to lose weight, but once you do, you'll feel so proud of yourself! Good luck!

Answer 3

Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.

Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).

You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.

Answer 4

Hmm...well, don't skip breakfast or dinner. You can either skip lunch or you could snack at lunch. Try to exercise more, like...15 minute jogs...or go crazy and dance around to music while cleaning your room. Breaking a sweat is what you need to do. Also, the stomach has to work harder to digest cold food, other than warm food. So, eating cold food will work the body's digestive system more. Drink water when you feel hungry, never go for seconds at dinner, and don't eat any junk food. Snack on apples, bananas, carrots, or even a small bag of popcorn!

Good luck with reaching your goal!

Answer 5

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.
