I need serious dieting help. What do you think?

Question

I just turned 21 years old and I am fat and getting fatter. Every week I weigh myself and my weight seems to be going up. I am short (5'3) and very very fat. I weigh 145 pounds and I look huge. My belly is my main problem though..it is so big I look pregnant. I weighed 133 pounds 5 months ago. I was not happy with that weight either. I have a small fram and I believe I should weigh around 125. I would love to be 125 pounds by September. Is that a realistic goal? How many calories should I eat each day? It is so hard for me to diet because I am always out and my friends who always eat fast food. Any help would be helpful.thanks. I have a tredmil and was just going to start off by running maybe a hour a day...I'm not really sure what to do.

Answer 1

exorcise and find a healthy diet try sit ups and running but be more active

Answer 2

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 (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
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:)

Answer 3

replace water with soda, take walks, eat food as close to their natural state as possible.
