More Realistically...losing weight?

Question

Alright. So i'm a 16 year old girl who is 5'9" 170lbs and stuck there. I've thought about dieting/losing weight many times before but had little success. I dont drink soda, nor do i eat fast foods (at most once a month). I also play community soccer twice a week. My eating habits are fairly good but i dont know what i'm missing. Any help to a busy high school teenager?

Answer 1

Your height vs. weight isn't THAT far out of line, so it shouldn't be too tough. Since you're young and apparently healthy and active, my suggestion would be to up the activity level. On non-soccer days, run and/or ride your bike for a couple hours to soak up some excess calories.

Answer 2

If you really are eating mostly healthy stuff and exercising a lot, then I would think a trip to the doctor would be a good place to start. If they can't see any reason for you not losing weight, then they might want to do a thyroid test or something like that to see if your hormone levels are out of whack. Sometimes that can be the case and it could be your hormones refusing to let you lose weight. The doctor will know what to do about this.

From what you say, it looks like you are doing all the right stuff, but I don't know. Maybe you should see a doctor, just to be sure there isn't anything the matter with you.

Answer 3

I would start doing low impact cardio which on a treadmill is about 4 mph for about 35min 4-6x a week! This low intensity will be a fat burning peak! Soccer is good heart healthy exercise. Try to count your calorie intake, calculate your BMR to see how many calories you need!

655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)= BMR

Step two: In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
• If you are sedentary : BMR x 20 percent
• If you are lightly active: BMR x 30 percent 2133
• If you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 40 percent
• If you are very active (You exercise intensely on a daily basis or for prolonged periods.): BMR x 50 percent
• If you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 60 percent

Add this number to your BMR.

Once you've calculated how much you need to maintain your weight if you burn off/ reduce from your diet 500 calories per day, you will loose 1 pound per week, that is if you are not gaining muscle as well, muscle weighs alot more than fat!
Also make sure you are eating fruit! And try to limit the white flour foods, potato chips, crackers, and so on. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Wow! That's some feat of strength, however, not amazing for an ant. Still, I think we should petition the Olympic committee. If they think the Ribbon is a sport, they'll add a new weight class for you. I'm sure of it!
