Answer 1

Hey girl,
Just a note before I start: crunches, push ups, situps, etc will not help you loose weight! THEY WILL MAKE YOU GAIN MUSCLE ON TOP OF DA FAT!!!!

What you really need to do if you want to loose
weight, is make sure you do these VERY important
things:

1. Have no more than 1,000 calories a day! Look on
every nutrition label of what you eat, and always buy
low calorie foods!

2. Exercise! But not for muscles! People get loosing
weight and gaining juscle confused. The gym is good
for tonning up muscles, but to loose weight, you
really have to run, jump, swim, and anything else that
really makes you sweat, sweat, sweat!!!! Exercise for
AT Least 1-3 hours a day!

3. EAT HEALTHY! Some people skip breakfast and lunch
and then have a huge dinner right before bed. That is
absolutely the worst thing you can do for your immune
system! You will gain weight and will NEVER be able to
loose it because your immune system will be screwd up!
Make sure you have a large breakfast with no (or
little) breads. Like one egg, 2 turkey sausages, and
one waffle. Cereal and milk is good, but with 1% milk
and no sugery cereal like lucky charms, fruit loops,
etc.
Have a medium sized lunch, no hamburgers, fries, or
soda. A salad or tofu, or chicken strips (not fried)
or anything else yummy and helathy you can think of.
But still watch the calories.
Always remember to have dinner BEFORE 6 PM! A light
soup with toast, or low calorie mac and cheese and a
salad is good. Maybe a veggie low calorie lasgna.
Also, dont EVER eat meat after 7 pm! Especially pork
and beef. Chicken is ok, but eat it no less that 3
hours before bed.
No snacking on chips, chocolate, or any calorie
filled, starurated fat drenched, snacks during the
day! If your craving for a snack, dried fruit or
regular fruit or special K bars are good. BUT NO
ENERGY BARS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TONS OF SUGAR!!!!

4. Go to bed early! Did you know that the more you
sleep, the more fat you burn? Thats why you are always
lighter in the morning, by a pound or so.

5. HAVE WILLPOWER!!!! You have to know when to tell
yourself to stop! Sometimes you need it to tell you to
go exercise, sometimes not to eat donuts and cake at a
birthday party.

I really hope you reach your goal!!!!!

Good Luck!!!!!

Awww that is awful, I'm so sorry to hear that about your friend. Bullies can be so mean!!! Firstly if your friend was standing infront of me I'd give her a hug! & I'd tell her that losing weight is not the be all and end all but let her know that I was there to help her get healthy.

The best things to do are to not completely cut out 'bad' food but to look at alternatives. As its impossible to be around sweets, cakes and crisps and not have some, especially in school......and I'm sure all that bullying is making her depressed therefore wanting to eat to comfort herself.

For crisps, you can get really delicious light, low fat alternatives. Try looking in the shops together and maybe you could write a shopping list for her to give to her parents?

Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.

Drink A LOT of water - no fizzy's.

Encourage your friend to take part in school sports, leisure activities, go for walks on your lunch breaks, play basketball, swimming, skipping or running!

Once your friend sees and feels the difference it is making for her general well being it will be a motivation for her and you both will have fun together!

Think of it as a GREAT bonding girly session time - that's what your friend NEEDS in order to stick to it - the IDEA that you are BOTH doing it together, as a TEAM!!!

Hope this helps,

Good luck hun.

A person really needs a good, balanced healthy diet and exercise to lose weight and keep it off.

find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) 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, pasta 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:)
physical bullying is really serious thing - isnt there somebody to deal with this like if you tell principal or teacher - dont they suspend kids like that?

Your friend does not need to lose weight at all, YOU are the one who needs to gain weight. Your friend is at a good weight, You do not realize what obesity is.. You are obese when you are OVER 200 pounds of fat.. THAT is obesity.. ( depending on your height of corse.... a 5'3 girl at 180 pounds would be obese.. and a 6'1 girl at 250-270 pounds would be obese..) Your friend is not even overweight.. By the way, you should be worried about yourself.. And she ended up crying because you called her fat.. when she really isnt..

Answer 5

I am sorry to hear about your friend. The first thing she needs to do is see a doctor to make sure it is not a metabolic problem, such as a thyroid disorder, which can cause excessive weight gain. I would then encourage your friend to work with her doctor and her family to then get on a weight loss program. The key to success is support from family and friends. It sounds like you really care about her and you are going to have to be her motivation, even when she doesn't want it. Good luck!

Answer 7

She needs to kick that guy in the family jewels.

110 pounds at 4'11 isn't terrible, and depending on how she's built, could be perfectly fine.

If she is concerned about her weight, she needs to exercise and eat sensibly.

Answer 8

Watch what she eats... Be more active, she is very very young... She shouldnt be on a diet but should cut the junk food out or almost out and go out more, play more, move more, be a more active person, not a drastic lifechange cause she is very very young.

Answer 9
