Lose Weight?

Question

Im a teen a and i weigh 179 i want to lose 60 pounds in a year.How can i make that happen.please help me???

Answer 1

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

Answer 2

Make yourself small weekly goals. It's easier to work toward a short term goal, and eventually you'll be where you want to be. You should be eating about 2,000 calories a day if you're active. If not, 1,800 is about right. Try eating something healthier than what you do now. You don't have to starve yourself or anything, but when you're in the cafeteria and you're trying to decide between a burger and a salad, opt for the salad with italian dressing (ranch is a big no-no because it has a lot of fat). Have fruits instead of Cheetos for a snack.

Also, exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Take a walk, jog, go biking. Do something. Jumping rope is also really fun. Another thing is going to your local gym for yoga or pilates. It's fun and I really enjoy it.

Good luck!

How tall are you ? and How Old are you ?
My Child the best way to lose it in a healthy manner is to
1. Have breakfast: Banana, Eggs, Fruit
2. Sensible Lunch: Salads, Breast of chicken, Fish
3. Light diner around 7pm Maximum: Fruit, Soupe, Sandwich

No : Junk, Chocolate, Exceeding Salt or Sugar. Fast Food and Exessive bread isn't Good either.

Snacks : Freshly Squeezed Juices, Fruits, Skimmed Milk, Green Tea.

Sports or Walking. Find something that suits You.
Enjoy yourself as well :)

Remember: controlled Portions is the key ! Small quantities just to have enough energie to live the day...1500 Cals a day !

Answer 5

Come to grips with why you are overweight. There's only one reason: you eat too much compared to the calories you burn every day. Accept it. You eat too much. Say it: "I eat too much." Okay? See - it's not that tragic. You can now breath and go after your goal.

Your goal - 60 lbs in 12 months. That's a very attainable goal. That's 5 pounds per month. Not knowing what your current habits are all this is just "rule of thumb" stuff, but it will help you get a plan together. And that is what you need, first and foremost, is a plan. Write it down.

First, understand that to lose 60 pound in the next year, you have to burn 210,000 calories more than you take in over the next year. That's 17,500 calories per month more than you take in each month. That's 4,167 calories per week more than you take in. That's 595.24 calories per day more than you take in.

How do you take in fewer calories than you burn every day? Well, you reduce the amount of food you eat, and increase the amount you exercise.

Buy a polar heart monitor watch. It keeps track of your calories burned every day. But let's say that you've been stable for a while and not gaining weight. That means you've been eating the same amount you're burning every day. If you just added exercising, and burned 600 calories per day exercising, you would meet your goal.

Alternatively, you could reduce the amount you eat, and combine exercise to burn more calories.

The long and short of it is that you create what's called a "caloric deficit."

My recommendation is for you to go to good personal trainer or nutritionist and have them assess your daily resting heart rate and calorie burn. Then you'll know how much you should be eating and how much you should be exercising to create a 600 calorie per day caloric deficit.

That's how you do it.
