All I can tell you is eat the right kinds of foods in the right amounts, drink lots of water and exercise everyday. Also when you eat a meal and you feel just right not too full or not full enough, stop eating. lol I know it's difficult but you can do it! Have fun doing it too. Ask your parents if they want to go for a walk with you that way the walk isn't so hard on you. When I walk alone I tend to walk a short distance because I don't have something distracting from getting tired. When you walk with someone you talk and talk lol and you don't really notice how far you have actually gone. lol well i wish you the best of luck! and remember don't over do it!

Hi! My friend and I are also going into high school and we also wanted to lose weight and improve our bodies... So that is what we did!!! First, we started walking every morning for about 10 minutes. Then as time goes on we started jogging for about 25 minutes each time. We drank a lot more water and we totally cut out soft drinks and sugary juices. But we still have three meals a day and we have snacks but instead of having chips we eat fruit.And once a week on the weekends we go out to Rita's and get an italian ice. AND REMEBER JOGGING IS 50% MENTAL. and if you stick to eating healthy you can loser upto 15 pounds in a month just like we did.And last but not least. ""BEAUTY IS ON THE INSIDE, NOT THE OUTSIDE"

well u can start by eating salads and other well balanced meals. when u snack in between meals have a fruit or a veggie...i find apricots good umm...start walking around ur neighborhood, and once u get used to walking, try power walking then some jogging. take ur time into losing ur excess weight...i know ur anxious to lose it all at once but take your time. just eat healthy (a little bit of every food group unless u r a vegan or somethin) and exercise every week. good luck with ur weight loss!!

These may help some:
1)Put up pictures of yourself at your eye level on the fridge and cabinets and other places in your kitchen.
2)Make up catchy little phrases to repeat to yourself when you start craving.
3)Drink lots of water.
4)Stay outside most of the day.
5)Everyday, look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I can lose weight, I will lose weight, I will keep it off, and I will NOT give up."
Hope this helps.

Hey! I am finely losing weight and I am so happy. I lost weight but all I did was eat better and smaller porition but now I am doing to add some exercise and I was wongering if this would be enough. Ok, go for a 30 min walk everyday, 90 crunchs a day, and weight training 2 times a week for about 15 mins. So what do you think. I have tried a million things and I did so much exercise I didn't even has time but I have started this workout and it is easy so if you guys think that it is good I will stick with it. Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!

Just a few suggestions:
1. Drink a glass of ice cold water every hour.
2. Chew sugar free gum or suck on sugar free hard candies.
3. Do something else to keep your mind off of eating (clean, exercise, etc.)
4. Drink green tea (it's filling and boosts your metabolism).
5. Chew on crushed ice (although it's probably not good for your teeth).
6. Take deep breaths.
7. Just think about how losing weight will feel, etc. or your goals.

Ok....This might seem a little hard but it's really not if you stick to it. First of all, you don't need soft drinks or candy. (HARDEST PART HAHA). Do not eat foods high in : Sugar, Fat, Calories, Carbohydrates, or Salt! Here are some of the things I eat : Grilled chicken, Grilled Fish, Grilled shrimp, Salad, Healthy Cereal, Fruit, Vegetables, Steak, Salsa(eat without chips), and more. Now, if you will learn to eat things like this, it will help your body to be much healthier. There is a quote that has helped me that goes like this...."Do you eat to live or live to eat?"

Then raise your time ever few days. You should get up to 30 minutes. You can also do jumping jacks, sit ups, and other exercises. I have lost so much weight b/c I go to a gym and i work hard there....and i now eat much healthier. If you do this, you will lose so much weight. You will probably lose 7-10 pounds in the first week. Your results might not be the same as mine but you will get good results if you stick to it.....I PROMISE. Please try this!!! It works.....it has helped me with my social life and made me feel better about myself. And you have to make yourself. You are the controller of your body. Just eat 2 healthy meals a day...and maybe some fruit for a snack.....Don't eat pizza, chips, ice cream or other junk foods...I know that sounds hard but it really isn't. I've lost 65 pounds doing this and i feel great. GOOD LUCKRyne (view less)

Hey,
I WAS in your situation. I weighed 196 and was 13. I am now 42 lbs smaller and am still trying to get off about 20 lbs. You probably will wnat to start with changing your eating habits. I know when I did I lost 9 lbs in the first week. Then I made my summer into a exercise boot-camp. I was waking up every morning and walking/running a mile. This really helped. I love shopping now because I can go straight to the 11/12 and know they'll fit instead of grabbing 18. For girls that isn't very fun. E-mail me anytime and I can give ya tips. Selenafan@pa.net
