Help on losing body fat?

Question

I'm 16 years old, 5'3", and about 120 pounds. Since school is out for 2 weeks, I've decided to join a gym to work out. I want to lose about 5 pounds by the time I go back to school. Any advice on what I should do?

Answer 1

It's simple: calories in should be less than calories out. So if you are burning 1,800 calories in one day, you should be eating less than that. I'd suggest eating 250-500 less every day if you wish to lose 5 pounds of fat.

Although, 5 pounds is a lot of weight to try to lose in 2 weeks, sorry. I know this isn't the advice you were probably looking for, but coming from someone who used to be overweight/fat, MUCH heavier than you, I'd say you should try losing 2 pounds in 2 weeks. That's much healthier. I'd also consider looking more toned better than losing weight. Everyone will be able to tell that you have better muscle definition, than seeing you lost 5 pounds.

Answer 2

Ignore these idiots and / or spammers. That's great go to a gym, many will offer 1 or 2 weeks trial. Or pay for 1 month. Do 20 minutes on treadmill or stair climber (switch every day) watch tv or listen to ipod. Then do light weights for 20 minutes. Doing weights is great for girls too, just light 5-15 lbs. Also watch diet and exersize. Basically the stomach cares about volume so eat a lot of vegeteables and fruit. You can have 1 small treat every day for encouragement. Go to bed on time.

Answer 3

try to eat better unstead of just working out, around the holidays there are going to be a lot of tempting foods that are bad for you

no no's: side dishes (such as mashed patatos)
NO EGGNOG NO BEAR
Try to avoid pies and cakes

substitutes: turkey has less fat than you think
cranberry or fruit juice
candy canes are seasonal treats that are usually only 30-70 calories
wine is also bad but 1 cup is fine
