Answer 1

You can do it hun. Cut out all the junk food and fried foods and try to get some physical activity in. Dance, talk long walks, jog, I love the fitness dvds.

I lost 20 lbs in 1 month...if you want any advice you can email me [e-mail]

Answer 2

Listen, if you want to lose weight maybe you should not eat as many sweets. You should stick with the healthy foods like veggies, fruit, and meat. I know everyone loves sweets but this is a life changing thing. If you don't want to be made fun of I suggest you take my advice. You should run 1 mile every day for about 1 month and see how that goes. If it doesn't work lift weights, sprint (run really fast) and it all turns out good. I used to be heavy but when I stuck to my goals I lost a lot of weight. I still run everyday and it's not as hard as it was before. Don't get me wrong this task is going to be phisically and mentally hard but you have to pray that God will guide you through this and at the end trust me it definatly will pay off. Good luck!! p.s. when someone makes fun of you remember the rules, say " In a few months i'll be able to outrun you" and the truth is you will.

How to Lose Weight Naturally?

How to lose weight naturally has been in debate for years.

Some say low carb. Some say high carb. Some say it's how much food. Some say it's how much exercise. But none of these covers the whole picture.

How to lose weight naturally is not rocket science. It just takes accepting the facts of these seven natural laws of weight loss, plus good old-fashioned stick-to-itiveness.


Seven Laws of How to Lose Weight Naturally

1. Make a commitment to whatever it takes. You not only need to know what to do, you also have to manage yourself in such a way that you do it. If you already knew exactly how to get yourself to lose weight and keep it off, you'd be at your perfect weight right now. Without 100% commitment to do what it takes, your goal has no staying power.

2. Start from a foundation of happiness. Most people think losing weight will make them happy. But happiness is a mental state that can only be created right now. And nobody wins at any challenge if they're unhappy. So be happy. Accept yourself and your current circumstances and be enthusiastic about the future you're creating.

3. Design your own healthy diet plan. Natural doesn't mean spontaneous. As a matter of fact, spontaneous gratification is what gets most of us into trouble. Just like managing your time and money, weight management takes planning and organization. To burn more calories than you consume, based on your lifestyle, how are you going to handle the details?

4. Manage your emotions. Emotional eating is a major reason for failure. We've learned to use sweets, fatty foods and overeating for entertainment, celebration and to sooth and stuff down unpleasant emotions. Come up with a list of other things you enjoy (besides eating). And begin exchanging old bad habits for healthy new ways of enjoyment and soothing.

5. Find a way to exercise daily. Exercise is healthy and burns calories. It doesn't have to be complicated or extreme. It just has to happen. Decide what kind would be best for you and work it out with your schedule. There are great exercise videos, walking paths and a variety of gyms everywhere. Choose a time and method and make it a regular habit.

6. Keep a Journal. If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Studies show the great majority of people who lose weight and keep it off are very aware of what they eat and the calories they consume. Many keep a journal. Research shows those who guess at the amounts, without writing them down (at least in the beginning), grossly underestimate their calories.

7. Be persistent. Nothing gets accomplished without persistence. Persistence is the only common denominator of all successful people. The story goes that Thomas Edison had 999 failures before he finally invented the light bulb. If you've tried and failed 999 times, learn from your mistakes and do it better next time. The only way to succeed is to persist.

Answer 4

Don't Listen to what other people say about your weight or dieting at all. You probably are worried you'll have to eat gross, tasteless food to lose weight. I have a simple way for you to get healthier. Eat whole-wheat shredded mini wheats with frosting for breakfast and other healthy cereals for breakfast for a month. For lunch, buy a milk at the school cafeteria, bring one dessert from home (JUST ONE), have some raw veggies or fruit(carrot sticks, snap peas, strawberries, apple, etc.), a main course (sandwich, wrap, cold pasta, fruit salad, leftover chicken, yogurt cup, etc.), and some crackers with honey or cream cheese or a small bag of sunchips. Don't buy lunch at school anymore, instead, make it at home, so you know exactly what goes into it.
Use a smaller plate. Because dinner plates are so big, when you put the serving you should actually put on it, there's a lot of empty space. Instead use a smaller plate. You'll consume closer to the right amount. Salads are great, but as soon as you drown it in dressing, the benefits of all those greens are counter balanced with all the fat, oil, and other stuff in the dressing. If you just can't let go of the dressing, put a small dish by your plate filled with dressing. For every bite of salad, dip the tongs of your fork into the dressing, and then get a big bite of salad.
Eat slower. Are you always eating on the go? Put more time aside for meals, such as forty instead of twenty minutes.
Don't watch TV and eat. When you get the urge to eat while you are watching TV, turn off the TV, walk into an entirely different room, and look away from TV. Just don't do it. You consume more than you would in front of the TV, because you aren't paying attention to what you are putting in your body.
Read the labels. I don't really care about the calories, but if you read how much the Serving size is and compare that to how much you are serving yourself, it will put it into perspective. Look for some protein and a whole lot of fiber on labels, not to mention vitamins and minerals at the bottom. Look at what is in the ingredients. Aviod fruit juice with High Fructose Corn Sryup in it, because it's really bad for you and can be in a bunch of food, even when you don't think it is.
Whole wheat. Never let your parents buy white bread again. I know you think it's gross, but you'll adapt. I've been eating whole-wheat for a long time, and I won't even eat white bread ( i hate the texture now.)

Exercise- PE is there for a reason. I know most people hate it, but if you participate in it, you'll get more exercise. No more of this "i kinda exercise." you need "I DO EXERCISE!!!"
Walk as much as possible. Instead of taking an elevator, take the stairs, instead of calling someone on the phone who lives just next door, walk next door. Get off the bus a little earlier and walk home. Run in place while you are watching TV. It's all about doing just a little bit more.Are you required in PE to do 2 running laps? Run 2 and a half.
Remember,once you start losing pounds, you'll also be gaining muscle if you are getting enough exercise, so your weight will drop and then climb just a few, because muscle weighs more than fat.
It will take a couple months to lose all your excess, but you'll probably feel the difference the first couple days! In a month, if you stick to it, you'll probably be able to see a little difference.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Answer 5

I'm gonna answer you straight from my heart & hope you will think about it cause I've been there! You cannot create a healthy body by going on a 'DIET'! You have to learn how to eat healthy for the rest of your life. Because you are a teen it would be unrealistic to say no junk food, but if you will eat healthy 90% of the time it'll be okay to splurge every so often. Your goal should be to be healthy, if you eat healthy you WILL lose weight. You'll lose it slowly but I promise you it will stay off. Your first step should be to cut out ALL fried foods. There are a lot of options at fast food rest. now that you can choose from. Since you are still living at home (I'm assuming) you wil have to have support from the person that does the meal prep. in your house. Talk to them. Offer to fix your own meals if its a burden to them. Slowly cut out all proccesed sugar.That means in sodas, sweet snacks etc., but I suggest you go to the Best Life Diet web site. It's easy to follow,easy to read & it costs you nothing for the information. The most important thing I want to convey to you is to please be happy with who you are, you have been given a wonderful, beautiful body, you really are a miracle. It's so sad that people judge you by your outward appearence but they do, I know. And I know this doesn't help you right now but that is their burden to bear, not yours. The healthier you become, the more confidence you'll have to know you don't want people in your life like that anyway. You want to be healthy for YOU,not them. Good luck to you and your beautiful, precious self, and 105 lbs is too thin for you!

Answer 6

First I would tell you not to get to crazy about losing weight.
Just try to eat healthy and be active. You are going to keep growing in height, until you are about 18. So you have five more years.

First No seconds. Take one plate with some of everything and not gigantic servings. Drink plenty of water, no sodas or very sweet drinks. They have a lot of calories. Start reading the nutrition information on the food you eat and drink. Think low calorie.

Walk and bike as much as you can. This will help burn off the extra weight.

Try to do a Yoga class from PBS of TV. This will help you be more flexible and become more calm.

Try to stay away from fried foods, sweets and white foods, like rice, potatoes and pasta. If you eat them keep them to small portions.

Good Luck you can do it. When you cut out the extras your stomach will shrink and you will want less food. Try to eat lots of veggies and fruits .

Good Luck.

Answer 7

How long it takes depends on how much/what you eat, and how frequently you exercise. That said, losing more than 2 lbs per week after the 1st couple weeks of your routine is generally considered to be unhealthy. But don't get discouraged that it will take a while to reach your goal--you'll start noticing results almost immediately! Talk with your doctor--he/she can help you figure out what you should/shouldn't eat, and help you put together a workout regimen that will help you lose as much weight as possible w/o hurting yourself.

One thing that really helped me was keeping a journal of what I ate and how much I ate of it. Generally, your dinner plate should be 1/2 veggies, 1/4 starches (potatoes, pasta etc), and 1/4 protein. They also say it's really important to get 2-3 servings of dairy per day.

An easy way to cut down on calories is to avoid anything with regular mayonaisse, cream-based sauce, or fried. That isn't to say you can never have them, but have them only once in a while in a small portion. You know--limit yourself to 12 fries, or 1/2 cup of potato salad, put the salad dressing on the side and dip your fork in it, share dessert with other people. When you go out to eat, the portions are typically 2-3 times the size of normal portions. One thing I always do is ask for a "to go" box to come with my meal, and then immediately put 1/2 the plate into the to-go box.

There's also ways to substitute lower-fat, lower-calorie choices for butter, mayo, sugar, etc.

www.calorieking.com is a really helpful website. If your parents are willing/able to pay for it, doing weightwatchers online is what helped me.

Be proud of yourself--I didn't get fed up enough to do something about my weight until I was almost done with college. It will be tough at times, but you will feel soooo much better physically, and have tons more self-confidence. You can do it! You deserve it!! :-)

Answer 8

First of all, 50 pounds seems like a little too much weight to lose. Go for a more reasonable goal, like 35 pounds. If you were to lose 50 pounds, it would take you 5 months to do so if you were motivated enough.

As for dieting - send me a message and I can make you a diet plan.

I also have a weight loss blog where I have advice for weight loss. The link is below.

Answer 9

50 lbs might take several weeks, but you gotta try REALLY hard to lose it in only several weeks. Exercise everyday, and just go on a diet. You could probably eat pretty much the same things, just less portions. Also, an easy thing you can do is lay off the pop and chips.

Good luck! :)

Answer 10

well if you're 13 u still are gonna grow a little so that will take care of the problem a little bit but for the rest just join your local gym and run on ur school track or around your neighborhood, and eat healthy foods like salads nothing fried like grilled chicken instead of fried chicken etc. eating bad food is alright every once in a while but ur body needs vegetables to run. also like when you come home from school instead of eating chips eat an apple or some carrots or something

Answer 11

Eat lots of fruits and vegatables. Carrots and celery help you loose weight, so eat one of those healthy snacks when you have a hunger craving (with NOTHING on them! No dip or anything). Eat 3 meals a day, but do not overeat. Did you know that your clentched fist is the size of your stomach? Do not eat anymore than your clentched fist size. Also, make sure to excersise regularly. Ride your bike, go for a walk or a jog, join a sports team, etc. Good luck!
