Overweight 16 yr old 210 lbs 6feet 1inch?

Question

Hi,
I desperately need help losing my stubborn fat. I know I'm overweight, by a lot, so i would be grateful for some help. I go the gym 4 times a week and work out but no cardio. I do push ups and sit ups at night, but only my chest muscles seems to be growing, my belly fat is really stiff when i pinch it not soft like some of my other friends. I dont see any loss in stomach fat.

Please help, any would be appreciated. Thanks.

Right now I took up swimming everyday, but I still eat a lot. I usually eat Honey Oats Cereal when I'm bored, but I always thought that was healthy.

Low Carb Dieting Tip
Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties.

Ways to Boost Your Metabolism

Eat Regularly - Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day--helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat.
Maintain a Balanced Diet - Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs.

Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice.
Workout with Weights - Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases.
Don't Forget Cardio - You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended. Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer)
Fruits and vegetables are clearly an important part of a good diet. Almost everyone can benefit from eating more of them, but variety is as important as quantity. No single fruit or vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to be healthy. The key lies in the variety of different fruits and vegetables that you eat.
Some basic fruit and vegetable tips:
• Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need 2,000 calories a day to maintain your weight and health, aim for at least nine servings (4½ cups) a day.
• Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables. It's easy to get into a rut when it comes to the food you eat. Break out and try a wider variety - include dark-green, leafy vegetables; yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables; cooked tomatoes; and citrus fruits.

Answer 4

You are not that much overweight. I checked a weight chart and it shows that you are supposed to weight 152 (if small framed) up to 192 (if large framed). So don't be too hard on yourself. You really only to loose about 15 pounds to hit the high end of your weight chart.

Answer 5

210 pounds for 6 foot 1 doesnt sound like over weight to me.

Why dont you stop worrying about how fat you are it, it doesnt matter in life. (for men)

As long as you walk around like a bad *** then life will be all good.

Answer 6

You need cardo more then anything else. Stop drinking sodas.. Walk everywhere, when you go to the gym warm up with a 20 min on a treadmill slightly elevated and when you are done finish doing the same thing...

Answer 7

probably you are building up muscle which weights more than fat

another thing, if u think u r not loosing wait, u need to take in consideration how you are eating, and how much u r eating

I had lost a total of 10 pounds, just by not eating out, drinking a lot of water and dropping out the carbonated drinks.
Another thing, I dont eat any kind of chips, or cookies.

exercise is only half the equation, you need to watch your diet as well. Eat only three ounces of meat a day, and limit your total calories to 1200 in one day and you will see the fat go.

Answer 10

try doing cardio when you go to the gym. also try drinking more water and eating more fruits and veggies. instead of white bread, or regular pasta, try eating whole wheat. its healthier and fills you up faster, so youll end up eating less. and personally, i think it tastes better. instead of beef and pork, try eating more chicken and turkey. they have less fat
