Try running in place for 5-20 minutes a day. If you want you can run short periods then rest. Try doing sets of 50 jumping jacks working your way up to 10 sets. Also try taebo. It's a kickboxing/aerobic workout video. It works really well, it's fun, and afterward you feel like you can kick peoples buts. Also try push ups for weight resistance training such as sets of 10 working your way up to 10 sets at a time. Good luck!

i just wanted to know if any of you had any idea how to make my parents see that i WANT to lose wieght, and its just not some phase in my life that ill soon get over. I try to tell them that i want to go to a gym but they say "go for a walk" instead. I dont want to go for a walk. I want an excercise that challenges me and makes me feel that im almost to my goal after i work out. Not some walk that i hardly sweat after words. well if you have any suggestions please put them up.

You don't have to go to a gym to get a good workout. Your parents probably already know that. All you need is a place to run or do aerobics and you can challenge yourself. Try to run 5 minutes without stopping working your way up to 20 minutes at a time. OR you can dance to your favorite music for a half an hour. This will keep you challenged and fit.

Hey ya'll. I've posted before and this time I'm asking for a few tips and/or advice. I've completley changed my eating styles. I always have breakfast, no matter what. I used to rarely have it, but now I have to. I changed my lunch from a slice of pizza, fries, and chocolate milk to a half a turkey sandwhich and skim milk. For a snack, I try to kill of all cravings and go bananas or other fruit, and dinner's the same except for smaller portions. I haven't put as much commitment into it as I can. But I'm going to start this week. I want to excersize more, but I really can't. :( My parents won't let me join a gym or buy a treadmill. I don't have so much time on my hands with homework and work around the house. And it's cold and icy out so I'm scared to go running with the little time I have. Anyone have any tips for me to squeeze some excersize into my diet?

If you dont have time to go to the gym or go running, just do some crunches, push ups, and leg lifts in the mourning when you wake up and at night before you go to bed. If you have any hand weights like 5 pounds or so, try using them a well.

I just wanted to remind you guys that if your parents can spare the money, you have the option of seeing a dietician or a nutritionist. They can help you make a healthy eating plan and get you started in the right direction. I want to be a dietician because of the positive expirience i have had with working with and helping people, including myself, becoming healthier. I want you guys to know that you have to be hopeful, or else you have nothing to live for. Losing weight is a major investment in your body, and from personally expirience, very worth while. If anyone would like to know how i lost my 25 lbs, please reply to this and i will help you the best i can. Good luck!

ok you guys, this is what i did to lose weight. First i counted calories. I allowed myself a certain number a day averaging out to between 1400 and 1800. Next, i excercised. I didn't start doing this until my 2nd month, but i wished i would have started sooner. Start a sport, even if i doesn't have a team. The best one for me was playing basketball or shooting hoops for 45 minutes a day. But i live in Michigan and it snows from November to March, so i needed something else too. I really disliked running, but that really was the only thing i could do inside, so i took to running in place for 5-15 minutes a day. I will almost garentee that you will lose 2 pounds in a week if you eat 1600 calories a day and run 12 minutes a day without walking. Same goes for eating 1600 calories a day and walking for a half an hour. I don't have a treadmill, so i have to run in place, but it's a great...

Another thing you can do is jump rope, or even just jumping up and down for a couple minutes it you don't have a jump rope. Also try weight lifting. You can use soup cans if you don't have weights. The best sight i recomend besides this one is www.fitnessfind.com it has the best links to anything. I wish you luck. If you have anymore questions, please post them. (view less)

Try sit-ups or stomach crunches. Doing those at least 50+ times a day for an hour can really help. Sit-ups help flatten your stomach and strengthen it.

A couple of great exercises/sports to try out would be cycling and kickboxing. Cycling basically helps trim your thighs and bum. Kickboxing also does the same, but also helps the upper half of your body. I say you sure give it a try. Look for classes in your area that teach kickboxing. It helps you loose weight, and it's also fun.

Hello. I was wondering if some body had any weight loss tips for me. I am 5 foot 9 inches. I weight about 255. I have lots of stretch marks all over my body. I look like a big blob of fat. Please help.

Why about trying to get active in sports? Getting active can really help you loose some weight. Or maybe do some basic stuff, like walking, running, or just riding your bike. There's lots of different ways to loose weight, but it depends what you prefer.

I know everyone is probably tired of hearing me say this... but it is SO true... and it's worked WONDERS with me (I'm now known (to myself) as wonder-woman!:) )Try lifting weights... you're too young to go to a gym.. so just get some weight magazines and dumbells... and pump some iron at home. I'm 5'2 and 170... and have lost 10 pounds by just lifting weights and eating healthier (fruits and veggies.. ya know). I used to have flabby arms and thighs... and now they are taking on more definition!!! It really works! So... give that a try.

Hey.... just a little note... I've lost 5 pounds... woo hoo... pay myself on the back :) Basically just trying to change my lifestyle, exercising more and eating fruits and veggies. Water water water... the norm and all. I was thinking about something today, when I was losing a ton of weight and keeping it off... I was ROLLAR skating all the time... not because I have to, but because I enjoyed it! I can listen to my music, be left to my thoughts, and have a lot of fun. It's taken awhile to figure out what I like to do... without thinking it's EXERCISE... ya know?? Just thought I'd encourage ya'll to find something fun fun fun! Email: Abbaaskid@yahoo.com

Hi guys, I am 5'3 and get this, I weigh 210 pounds. when I was about 11 I was really skinny but then my dad died and I ate loads coz I was depressed. If i've had a bad day at school I come home and eat whatever there is. My mom is overweight too so she always has loads of junk which I just can't resist. Whenever my gran sees me she says "My haven't you put on weight, Bekki. You are starting to look like you mom!" There was this boy I really liked and I tried to ask him out but he just said "Date someone your own size, Bekki!" I can't fit into any of my clothes and I don't do sports any more, because its sooooo embarrasing when my fat wobbles all over the place. I have to get my school uniform specially made!!! Has anyone got any ideas? I just think its impossible for someone as fat as me to lose weight and ever look nice again

Hi,
Hi my name is Laure & I am 15. I know what everyone is going through on this site because I am overweight too. I weigh 200 lbs and I am 5'3''. I lost my father too and I have been up & down the scale. My doctor think that due to depression I have developed an eating disorder. I eat too much or to little at times or don't eat any meat. I want you to know that this site is good for the information on it. My advice to eveyone is to just get more active. Even if you don't know how to dance create your own dance or get with some of your friends & play a game. I think even if you are 17 tags is still a cool game to play. I hope this has been helpful.
Bye
