You have to get out of that chair and away from the front of that computer to get the exercise. See if you can find someone to work out with you so you are not so on your own with it. Stay way from Carbohydrates like bread and breaded foods French fries and heavy starchy foods. Your blood pressure will come down some when your weight comes down but you should probable be on some meds to control your blood pressure while you lose the weight.

Walking is damn good exercise and its free. Vegetables are your friend but once again not the starchy ones and not macaroni and cheese which I for one think is one of the best inventions in the culinary world. Drink a lot of water while you diet. It will help keep you hydrated and a little fuller. Carrot sticks and celery sticks and some fat free ranch dressing are tasty treats and make a good healthy snack for in between meals and an apple a day goes a long way. Don’t forget to eat breakfast. Cantaloupe and low fat yogurt are great and strawberries and yogurt are wonderful too. A hand full of blueberries and a small bowl of raisin bran with skim milk or yogurt and raisins or strawberries is another good choice but cereal has carbs and if you want to lose weight you can’t pig out on the cereal.

Remember, you have to decide to lose the weight and no one can do it for you. They can do it with you but not for you.

Robert asks…

16 years old.. Need to lose weight?

I’m a 16 year old girl. I weigh 148 pounds and I’m only 5’1. I would like to lose weight and tone up a bit. (I would love to have a six pack <3) My only problem is, I don't know how to really get into the whole fitness thing. I've heard many different things about what makes people over weight and some of it isn’t even true.. Apparently. I have school coming up in less than a month. Should I work out everyday? Should I only work, lets say 3-5 times a week? I need some sort of guide lines to really get into the whole fitness thing. I understand that your diet has a huge part in it. I know what to do for the diet part. The workout part I’m clueless. I’m bigger in my stomach area, legs, and a little bit on my arms. (I got the little flabby arms, a big stomach, some big thighs, love handles. And when I look down.. I got that double chin which I hate.) What are some good workouts that I can do? I don’t want anything too intense because I do have a few problems with my knee and ankle. I unfortunately can’t do anything about that. Another thing is, how can I get motivated to do this and Stay motivated? And the biggest thing for me is, when I lose the wait.. How Do I Keep It Off???

Any workouts on YouTube or somewhere online would be greatly appreciated.

One more thing: I’m not one of those people that want to lose maximum amount of weight in minimum time. If it takes a couple months then I’m okay with that. I need something to fit around my schedule with school starting soon. I also do horseback riding (+barn chores) at least 3 times a week. (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday).

Please please help me out. I’m going into my junior year. I’ve spent my entire time in school being uncomfortable with low self esteem. (With being overweight and I have bad acne scarring.) If I can spend my last two years in high school and actually get to enjoy it, I will be so so grateful.

Advice, tips, reminders, etc. will help.
Thank you so much

Losing weight does not come easily for anyone. Whether you are fifty pounds overweight or twenty, losing the weight is not an easy thing to do.

While most people choose to go on a diet because they think that they need to look better, the real motivation for losing weight should be about being healthier overall.

The problem with many diets is that they take too much time and are too complicated. There is a large amount of planning involved when it comes to meals. In addition, even when following the diet strictly the weight does not come off very quickly at all.

In fact, most of the time a person will only lose one or two pounds a week when they first start a new diet. This can be disheartening and lead to the oh-so familiar yo-yo effect.

When someone steps on the scale and sees a two pound weight loss when they think it should be more, they are likely to spiral out of control and quit the diet and begin their poor eating habits again.

Healthy Weight Loss

What many people do not realize is that losing one to two pounds a week is the healthiest way to lose weight. Losing this much (or little depending on the way you look at it) sets reasonable expectations and leads to achievable goals.

If you are carrying quite a bit of extra weight, these numbers can be increased slightly but in all likelihood, striving to lose more than two to three pounds per week is a surefire way to:

Burn muscle rather than fat
Become discouraged and give up

Let’s get scientific for a second. One pound of body fat equals 3,500 calories. If you didn’t know this I bet this is quite a shocker – you can actually measure how much you should be eating based on your own weight loss goals.

Very broadly said, having a 500 calorie deficit per day will let you burn about one pound per week (500 x 7 = 3500). Neat huh?

To lose weight faster it is important to increase the amount that you exercise.

Diets for Fast Weight Loss

When trying to lose weight quickly it is important to make sure that you are eating healthy. Starches and added sugars should be eliminated from the diet. In addition, avoiding fat from dairy and meat will help increase weight loss as well.

Some of the foods that should be considered when trying to lose weight include:

Fruits
Veggies
Soy products
Egg whites
Fish
Shellfish
Lean meat
Skinless chicken breast
Non-fat dairy food

It is important to eat a lot of vegetables as they will help you feel full. Drinking water will also help you feel full. All tempting foods should be removed from the home when you are starting a healthy weight loss plan.

Michael asks…

How can I lose weight easily?

I’m 15 and since I was 12 I was a comfort eater, I was bullied and made to feel like shit. Now being at a stage where I’ve gained all this weight, I feel so unconfident. I have belly fat and big thighs. I hate the belly fat because it means I don’t feel comfortable going out unless I’m I’m baggy clothes and jumpers and I won’t go out in shorts or skirts, even during the summer when it’s very hot. I’ve been trying to lose the pounds as I want to lose around 2 stone for my trip to Spain in July so I can feel confident an comfortable in a bikini! I have 12 weeks and want to try a diet as well as exercise. What’s exercises will help me? I don’t like running because I get bored of it, an what diets could I do? I’m not good with veg but I love fruit and after watching what I’m eating usually I need to lose the carb foods! I’m not asking to have a completely flat belly but I want to lose the bulges so I can go in a bikini and be happy! Please help me!!!

It’s not going to be easy especially if you’re already a comfort eater, it will probably be one of the most difficult things you’ll ever do.

First off fix your habit of comfort eating, it’s a bad one and it will only slow you down or completely ruin your weight-loss goals.

As for exercise anything will do. Play some sports, do some running, the best thing to do would be a weight-lifting routine, but since you’re a girl and only 15 you probably would not like the idea of that.

Anyways anything is better than doing nothing, so rather than sit on your butt and think about it all day just get out there and do something. It’s infinitely better that way.

As for your diet try and stay away from processed foods such as hydrogenated vegetable oils, junk food, canned food, table sugar, condiments, etc. Etc.
Eat wholesome nourishing nutrient-dense foods.
Try and balance your diet so you’re getting a good mix of vegetables, fats/protein and some fruits and grains.

Besides that to control your weight loss just eat slightly less.

The best weight-loss is achieved through slow dieting. If you try to lose weight so fast not only will it harm your metabolism and cause you to lose precious lean tissue mass it will also put you at susceptibility to rebounding and regaining much or all of the weight you worked so hard to lose in the first place.

So in other words, slow and steady wins the race. Instead of trying to lose 2 stone (~28 lbs) you should be going for roughly half of that (1 stone or 10-14 lbs) in 2 months. Losing 28 so quickly will do you more harm than good you have to look at things in the long term. Or is this “weight loss” thing just a passing though for you? If you’re truly dedicated you’ll be willing to put in the time and effort and you wouldn’t be looking so hard for a easy-way out.

Being healthy and lean is a lifestyle choice, not a one-time fix. This is a very important distinction to make. Only change your diet to something manageable that you would be willing to spend your entire life on. That way there is no risk of rebounding or doing excessive harm to your body. Slow and steady. Good luck.
