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.
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.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself with a little treat once in a while:)

Answer 2

ME!!! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKIN BOUT. I CAN HELP. i am also 16 and recently lost 30 pounds...but i still have more to lose. my bmi is 26. try working out 5 to 6 times a week for at least 45 minutes. also this is the cool part. eat 5 times a day. Really! but not fattening foods. for example you HAVE TO HAVE TO eat breakfast in order to lose weight faster and better. so eat breakfast, then 3 hours later eat a snack, a small one, like an apple and a handful of peanuts, then 3 hours later eat lunch, not too much though, a medium size salad with a Small piece of chicken and water would be good, then again 3 hours later a small snack, try a piece of cheese and water, then eat dinner, same amount as lunch. trust me it will work! try to drink a lot of water!!! who cares if you have to pee all the time, you should see me at school, everyone callas me the water girl. and one day a week go ahead and cheat, eat whatever you want, just don't over do it. i try to do the 5 meals a day but don't have time, so i do 3, it works slower to do 3, 5 works much better. and if you are still hungry, chug down some water, you will feel full. i know what i am talking about. i go to the gym everyday and the trainers are always talking about this.

Answer 3

Losing is good excess of it is bad. You want to gradually lose the weight and maintain it, this is key!!! I would personally reccomend the toxin-free pea-based protein shakes to supplement for breakfast or another meal. It keeps you full suppresses the appetite and the protein gives you energy.
I personally drink this every morning for breakfast. Liquid is key, keeps you full and tricks your stomach while cutting out a load of calories.
