Am I too fat?

Question

I am a 13 year old and I'm 5'3. I weigh 170 pounds. I know that I'm seriously overweight, but I really need help. I want to lose as much weight as I can before the end of August. I'm tired of being made fun of. I'm tired of not doing what my friends can do and wear. Most of my fat is at the front at my stomach. Can someone help me?I REALLY WANT HELP.

Answer 1

Try the South Beach diet. I lost 30 lbs with it in about six months, and I felt great after the first two days. You can probably get the book from your local public library, so you wouldn't need to buy anything special. Low-carb definitely works!

Answer 2

If you really have the desire you can do anything you want. Try lots of exercice like walking, don't start out too hard or you will dread doing it. Also try eating lots of green fresh or frozen veggies and meat. Drink lots of water (about 80 ounces a day). Before long you should see some results. You will lose inches before pounds so don't get discouraged. Good luck. Also remember that you are young and some of your weight problems will go away with time.

Answer 3

For your height you should weigh 115 to 120 pounds. Yes you are quite overweight.

Do this to start. Stop eating all bread, potatoes, rice, all sweets, and sodas. NO SNACK FOODS AT ALL. NO FAST FOOD AT ALL.

You can eat meat, green, orange, yellow vegetables. All salads. Go very easy on the dressings.

Have eggs with hard cheese (Not American slices) and a little diced veggies like onions, peppers, in the eggs to make an omelet for breakfast.

Read packages a High protein diet will quickly curb your appetite and help you eat less.

Walk briskly every morning and every evening to burn calories. Do not lay around, stay active to burn calories.

Do not eat anything after 7 at night. You can do it, good luck.

Answer 4

try doing these exercises a much as possible. i know it will hurt at first but when you see yourself starting to shed those extra pounds you'll feel ssooo a-m-a-z-i-n-g that it's beyond words. Best of luck to you :).

sprint 500 meters 3or4 times a day
crunches/sit ups

running several miles or you can walk or bike
do repeats uphill ( this exercise sucks when you're doing it but believe me it works wonders) do this 5 or 6 times and dont be scared tackle a big hill

run with you're dog, if you dont have one offer to run with your neighbor's dog you can get in shape together lol

Answer 6

I know what you are feeling because I have been in the same situation. You should exercise 4 days a week for about 30- 60 minutes. Drink a lot of water and cut the junk food out of your meals. Try to ignore soda, candy, pizza, gum(sugar), etc. And if you feel that you need a snack, just chew sugar-free gum. I suggest doing some cardio...cause it really helps!!!Good Luck!!

Answer 7

The best thing to do is simple...diet and exercise. Do not lower your calorie intake to under 1,200 calories per day. Eat lean protein, vegetables, fruit, drink lots of water. Cut out sugar, cakes, cookies and soft drinks. Watch how much pasta, rice, etc. that you eat.

Start off with walking, swimming, any activity that you like that keeps you busy.

If you really have a hard time...go to the doctor and ask them to give your permission to join Weight Watchers. It's a wonderful program

The weight will not come off overnight. It's going to take time and there is no instant cure.

Answer 8

Do as much working out as possible without hurting yourself.

Eat well like eat how you would normally just leave out the chips, icecream, pizza, cookies and all that other junk. BUT when you eat remember to eat slow. Take your time to chew and taste.

Run! Sit-ups! Squats!

Hey and don't forget when you run you can stop walk catch your breathe and then start running again.

I used to run and then sit down when I was tired and then wondered why I wasn't a better runner..oops.

Answer 9

Well if it's mostly your stomach, try crunches.
Eat smaller portians and healthier foods.
No sodas, chips, chocolate, or any of the sort.
Exercise at least 45 minutes a day and drink plenty of water.
do not eat more than 2,000 calories a day.
Good Luck!
Remember, don't listen to people who make fun of you, and don't look at those anorexic models and think that they are a good weight cause they're not.
If you set your mind to it, you can loose the weight.

Answer 10

well u need to understand that you can't go bulimic or anorexic because it will catch up with u! Now u can start by eating healthy instead of a bag of chips try an apple or orange! also try to run or walk around your neighborhood and take a bottle water with and do it with friends that want to help you! You will see the difference and don't get on th scale every night try one a week!
