Hi, I am 5"7 or so and weigh 190 with my cloths on. I really want to loose weight by the end of July and need some ideas and motivation. Should I drink water a lot and have Slim-Fast for lunch. I am swimming 2 times a week with my aunt and I am mowing my grandma's and her neighbors lawns. Do you guys think I will be able to loose at least enough weight to loose my stomach flab and malebreasts? Please give me any dieting ideas! I am looking forward to a slimmer summer vaction. THANKS! A! LOT!

I know that sounds stupid...but it works.I told myself I could only have so and so ounces of food a day and all I drank was water. I told myself that if I ate more than I should...I have to burn it off. So every day after I got home from school,I walked down the road and back.It's about a mile.I also did 10 sit-ups every other day and push-ups every day that I didn't do sit-ups.

Ok first of all avoid fad diets, they just don't work because if you go off of it you will gain all the weight back. Your better of doing something more healthy even if it takes longer becuase the weight will actually stay off. Basically the concept of losing weight is to burn more calories then you are eating. So try to eat healthier foods, not so much junk food. And try to not eat a lot because even though meat, vegtables and fruits are good for you if you eat to much of them they can lead to weight gain. So try to cut back on your servings. Also try to get a lot of exersise. Like 3 days a week for at least 30 minutes or something. Hope this helps. If you want some more help just email me at sweet_gurl2003@yahoo.com

Being that you tried doing a diet here are some things try doing:
Slowly cut back. Say you have 10 sweets a day then cut back to 8 sweets. Say you have 10 junky foods a day go to 8. Replace the 2 items with healthy foods. Then later cut back to say 6 junky and 4 healthy.

Remember, if you want to lose weight, that's ok, but dont do it based on how your friends look! If you want to lose weight, you should only eat when you're hungry. Don't eat for pleasure, even though it may be tempting. I hope I helped!

Hello my name is Bethany, I have been overweight since I was was 6 years old. It started when I joined school, I started hearing about this wonderful stuff called chocolate and Mcdonalds which my Friends had told me about....I loved the stuff, I was never really into it as my parents had never taken me and didn't get me many sweets, only when i was 'a very good girl'. But I ate too many of theese when I went to school, there were shops on my way home from school which I would drop into and buy a bar of chocolate or some gummy sweets as i had had a 'hard day' at school amd had 'been good' all day. I don't want to blame my parents,but they are partly to blame. My dad used to take me to mcdonalds every sunday, as we lliked to collect the toys from happy meals. But hen i got fed up with them I mooved onto Extra value meals...loaded with even moore calories. I didn't really notice that I was putting on weight untill we got our class photos back..I was biggerthan all the girls in my class...and the boys.....\i felt sick looking at it,so I'd eat,and eat, to make me fell better. Now I hate the way I look even more. I am surrounded by size 10s all my frienda are sizes 8,10,12,14 then theres me size 20 (uk) and MUCH taller than all of them.....I need your help guys...I weigh a HUGE 220-25 lbs (give or take a few) and am 5ft6...I KNOW I could look FANTASTIC of I los 60-70lbs. I KNOW I can do It with the Help from u guys, I want to feel good and not be the 'fat girl' in form 8.4. I want to get rid of my ovsessive puppy fat! Help me!-PSI just looked down at my stomach just now and now I'm crying i'm REALLY upset by the way i look

Hey Bethany, the key to losing weight is to lose it slowly and before losing any weight you should get a journal and write down all of your feelings positive and negative. Then u should talk to your parents and have them try to make a healthy eating play for you or go to a nutritionist. kj_peace@hotmail.com if u have ne questions!!!

Hey you guys, I'm back, but i'm on this new plan. I lost a couple of pounds eating right, bu gained most back because i was sloofing. But it tought me how to eat (keeping the food journal for 4 weeks.) So i no longer calculate food, but i make a week in advance exercise plan. This week, I Bike 5 times(or days) for 20 minutes, lift weights for my arms 5 times, do yoga 5 times, and strrength train for my whole body 2 times. I do some yoga on rest days because i have night yoga that is relaxing. don't worry about me overtraining with the arms weights, cause i've been doing it for a while, i jhust need to kick it up a notch. Off to shcool. Bye

Hi Joe,
I used to have a weight problem and I took small steps and it made a big difference. I lost 50 pounds in 6 months! Sugary drinks were a lot of my problem (sodas and juice) - I switched to diet coke and just water (no apple juice or oj). I started walking more - just 20 minutes or so with my walkman and it wasn't even hard! Good luck -- don't worry, you aren't alone!!

Ht. 5'5", Today: 134 lb (BMI %tile: 77), Goal: 120 lb - Hey I haven't checked here for a while but I'm 134lbs =D I've lost 4 lbs I'm 5'5 and I wanna get down to about 120 so 14 pounds left.. I got sick last week and a day I lost 4 lbs so I was done to 130 and I was like WOA and it just felt so good (but of course it came back) anyways I got a book on Teenage Fitness and I've been doing this 20 minutes exercise routine (basically strength training) and it makes me feel a lot better(especially about my tummy I can feel the burn, and that makes me confident)... oh okay heres a lil tip I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me. My dad offered me a donut and of course I took it it was looking at me like "eat me I'm so good" and so I went to the bathroom mirror and I ate the donut infront of the mirror.. well I obviously didn't eat the whole thing after the person staring back at me it was really gross so if you want that big yummy ...

Anyways good night to you all! =D (view less)

These are just some tips I have to help me loose weight..and I thought I might share..Have a journal and write down your goals and what you ate that day. Exercise daily. Aerobic will strenthen your cardiovascular system..also do some weight training. Stretching can help relieve stress/tension also. When you feel like eating something you shouldn't..wate five minutes..and take 5 bites of something healthy before you eat something bad. Drink lots of water..also..it's kina-of hard to drink water during cold weather so make yourself some decaff tea...and enjoy! Don't step on the scale every day..make weekly/monthly weigh ins. Most important..give yourself time! It's not easy to just hop onto healthy eating..and go from there...if you mess up..write it in your journal..and go take a walk, play with your pets,stretch, maybe go shopping if it makes you feel better. These are just some tips what I'm using so..I hope you find them useful! =)
