How can a kid lose alot of weight easy without pills easily

Don’t click on those spam links, they are just going to hurt your computer.
I wish kids could understand how easily they can lose weight compared to when you get older. Seriously. You could go for a fast bike ride or fast-paced walk for 2 hours every day and probably lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks. It seems to take 6 months when you get older.
Just COMMIT. Agree that you will spend 2 hours a day exercising and you will be there in just a matter of days.

Helen asks…

Can someone help me get motivated to lose weight???? :(?

My mom is a personal trainer. When I lived with my parents, I was in perfect shape. i used to go to the gym every day and work out, play sports, etc. Well, I left for college, and now, I have stretch marks EVERYWHERE and have gained 42.6 pounds. 🙁 I can’t motivate my self to lose the weight…I can get myself motivated for a day, but when I wake up in the morning, I just forget and eat something bad. I haven’t hung out with any friends from the dorms or from high school in a year….I’ve heard from my twin sister (who is still in good shape) that they all ask if I’m pregnant or just fat when she hangs out with them. I don’t want to see anyone until I’m looking good again!! ….but it is taking so long ….its been about a year since I have seen anyone but my boyfriend & occasionally my sister or my dad. I know my friends will always love me no matter what i look like and i shouldn’t think this way, but i am just so embarrassed. I don’t have any clothes that fit me anymore either!!!! i don’t want to go shopping until i can fit in my usual sizes. I am a poor college kid struggling to survive–the last thing i want to do is spend a bunch of money on clothes and then lose weight and not be able to fit in them! I used to be so fashionable–now i only wear shorts and t-shirts and use the fact that I work with animals as an excuse. I have a gym membership. My apartment even had a 24 hour fitness center…..but I don’t go anymore. I spend all day before work looking in the mirror and being sad instead of working out :(. the worst part is, i KNOW the fat will come off very easily!!! A few months ago, I lost about 20lbs, but then my car broke down and I couldn’t get to the gym. It was FREEZING outside, so i didn’t want to run….I kept saying i would just start working out again when my car was fixed, but by that time (months later), I had gained all of the weight back. My boyfriend is one of those people that can eat ANYTHING (i.e. 10 large pizzas with double cheeseburgers on top …..7 times a day!!!! [obviously an exaggeration haha]) and won’t gain anything!!! He never works out at all either. EVER. I always ask him if he will work out and eat right with me, but he’s like “HA, YEAA RIGHT!” ….i know i shouldn’t need him to do this with me to feel motivated, but its so hard watching him eat stuff that looks so good haha, or making two seperate meals all the time, or going to the gym alone when i would rather spend time with him. Please help me….I’ll probably keep adding more details, but…..I feel like this is already annoying to read through. OH! PS. I used to have the HIGHEST self-esteem in the WORLD. …now…OBVIOUSLY i dont lol
also, i am making very reasonable goals for myself….lose a couple pounds a week….not LOSE 50 LBS IN 2 MONTHS!!!! …..I know HOW to lose weight, I just don’t feel motivated to do so…

weight loss cardiff answers:

First of all, I’ll say that you need to be happy with yourself. Even if you aren’t happy with your body right now, you can change that. If you don’t value yourself as a person beyond your current body image, it’s going to be really hard to change it.

Next, I’ll say that you’re off to a good start setting reasonable goals. Expecting fast results will just end in discouragement. It took time to gain the weight, so it’s going to take time, probably even longer, to lose it. Make sure you remember that.

What helped me, when setting goals, was tracking my progress every time I worked out. That way when I lost a pound or two, I felt good, and when I gained a pound, I realized whatever I ate/drank wasn’t worth how bad I felt about backtracking.

Make sure whatever workout plan you do is CONVENIENT. Like you said, when your car broke down, everything fell apart. Try to set a plan where you work out on days that are easy to fit in to your schedule. The most important thing is that you do it CONSISTENTLY. If you go 5 times this week, when 3 next week, sooner or later, you’ll only be going once a week, or not at all…

Obviously diet plays a big part in seeing results. When I started working out, I would finish up and be hungry, then stop at the dinning hall and get a cheeseburger and cheese fries. After a couple of days of that, I realized all the work I was doing at the gym was wiped away when I ate. You don’t have to be anarexic, but try to eat slowly start to eat healthier. Again, it doesn’t have to be all at once. Don’t throw away all the junk food in your place and buy a gallon of yougurt and bucket of granola. Just start to substitute some better foods in the unhealthier parts of your diet. And remember that just about anything is okay IN MODERATION and just about anything is bad IN EXCESS. The popular thing to do now is eat more meals, but with smaller quantities of food. It’s a good habit to get in to keep yourself full, but in moderation.

Finally, don’t quit or get discouraged when you have setbacks. It’s going to happen. Events come up where you break your diet, can’t work out, etc. If you gain a couple of pounds, use it as motivation to get back on track. And try to make it the exception, not the rule.

Good luck! I’m excited for you to get started and back on track for a healthier lifestyle!

Sandy asks…

Healthy Smoothie recipes? and also weight watchers question?

Im trying to lose weight and I know smoothies help promote weight loss so id like to make them. Does anyone have any healthy and easy smoothie recipes?The other day I bought a big bag of frozen fruit and plain fat free yogurt so If I can use those let me know. Also I am doing weight watchers and If you know can you tell me how many points your recipes are per serving? Thank you sooooo much in advance!!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Use about 1 c. Juice, 1 c. Yogurt, and 1 c. Frozen fruit, adding some ice cubes if you need them. That would be whatever the points are for that serving for each of them … I also add a scoop of vanilla soy protein powder to mine, but you don’t need to do that:)

Mark asks…

Homemade recipe for weight loss pills?

I want to take them but i dont want to waste the money. is there a way to make homemade dieting supplements? please do not just list the ingredients on the bottle! I do not want to have to buy it all! Just give me an easy homemade version!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Buy caffeine pills, or drink coffee. Caffeine is the main ingredient in diet pills anyway.

No pill will work, however, without proper diet and exercise. I know you’ve probably heard this over and over again, but it’s true. A caffeine supplement, or natural caffeine found in coffee and green tea, has been known to improve results along with diet and exercise, but does nothing as a substitute for diet and exercise.

Paul asks…

I need good healthy easy diet recipes.?

I hate meat and milk. I really don’t want to buy a book or join any clubs or weight loss organizations. I just want some of your tried and tested easy recipes that are healty and may aid in my needed weigh loss program. (Especially vegetables) I am 5 ft 2 inches tall and almost 200 lbs. I need to get the weight off sensibly. Both of my parents had diabetes, heart disease and my father had a stroke.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Boiling water & throw in chicken breast . NOTHING else , just that for one . & Another one is Chicken broth//boiling water* with whatever vegetables chopped up & pinch of salt & that soup at night is hella good for losing weight . & drinking a cup of water before you eat anything will get you full (: * therefore you eat less. Resort to using your oven & NOT frying things . Drink tea with NO sugar. CUT soda out of your life for a year & you’ll lose 10 to 15 lbs depending onhow much you used to drink . Chop some lettuce up & eat it with lemon juice. I’ll write more later .

Betty asks…

Could i feed my bearded dragon on a worm only diet instead of worms and crickets?

of course his vegetables as well

weight loss cardiff answers:

No you shouldn’t because worms may not contain as much calcium. You must supply them with a varied diet. However, their staple non vegetarian food should be crickets. Make sure you dust them with calcium powder. The worms should be fed sparingly, and always feed your beardie with appropriate sized crickets.(no bigger than the space between their eyes). Also once your bearded dragon is at least 2 years old you could feed him pinky mice if you want.(no need to calcium dust it). Feeding them mice is not really recommended though. Remember, younger beardies eat more nonveg than veg, and older beardies eat more veg than nonveg.

Ken asks…

how can i lose weight without exercise quick?

the freshman 15 definitely hit me.. well atleast 10. im not huge but i want to lose 15 lbs-ish in a week or 2 without running or exercising alot before i have to when xc starts.. any suggestions?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well, you’ll have to cut back A LOT! Why don’t you try the 5-4-3-2-1 Diet? It was designed to last about two weeks to get off some weight quick! It’s actually pretty easy to do whether you’re eating at home or in a restaurant. Just be sure that the foods you choose to eat are very nutritious. You don’t want your metabolism to get lazy. Drink plenty of water–get rid of soda, even diet for the next two weeks. You’ll also be more successful if you dump the salt for that amount of time. Good luck!

John asks…

How to lose weight without strenuous exercise?

I want to lose some weight but without having to do hours and hours of exercise a day?Also what food is best to eat and what food should i avoid?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Be realistic. Don’t expect a miracle. Healthy weight loss can be achieved fairly quickly, but you’ll need to be patient. In addition, be sure to set realistic goals. Make sure that the weight you’re trying to reach is a healthy weight for you, and keeping in mind that gaining pounds of muscle will help you lose fat, be trimmer, and look better even though you don’t actually lose any weight. Your goal should be a healthy body, not a number of pounds! Everyone looks good at a different weight. A short person may look really good at about 112 pounds, but a person of a taller height would just look unhealthy. Keep yourself at a weight that makes you look good, not at a number that sounds good.

George asks…

How to lose weight without Exercise?

My doctor says im 10-15 pounds overweight,
I want to lose 30 pounds.But i don’t want to Exercise,take pills, or buy all these kinds of foods (don’t make me buy bread)
If anyone suggests starving myself (like anorexia) please tell me what to think and how to do this?
Like my attitude.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. Don’t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don’t hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don’t pick me as best answer, i’d be happy to help. Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC. There are many, many helpful facts on there.
