make it a life long thing. not that l;osing weight will take your whole life but be prepared to put quite a few months into it. you can start losing weight right away. it's in your power, exersize and eat right. eat nutritiously. eat foods with a lot of fiber and drink a lot of water, it'll clean out your stomach of things that shouldn't be there and will help you lose weight faster.

It's not just about a diet but a change in life style- I know you've probebly heard that before but it's true even if you lose weight if you don't have a lifestyle change you'll just gain the weight back

You eat because your not full, right? Maybe you should try eating something for breakfest such as scrambled eggs and toast skip doughnut at church believe me i know it looks good but you really don't need it. You can stop at a fast food resteraunt but instead of get getting a a cheese burger get a grilled chicken sandwich minus the mayo don't get fris and buy a diet drink. Also try to stay away from that fried kfc chicken fried food instead of that try eating an apple and some grapes and whatever your mom has for diner that night is fine. Just try to eat food that will fill you up so that way it cuts back on your cravings for food. and if your still hungrey just don't eat junk food try some sweet fruit.
If you really want to lose weight you can just keep trying eventualy you'll find something that works out for you.

Hey, i know every1 here wants to lose weight, including me but i want to say: plz dont over do it and dont skip meals!! yesterday i had an 11oclock kickboxing class ( i 3 kickboxing!) but as usual never ate breakfast. i havent eaten breakfast in roughly 2 years so you know, business as usual for me. so heres my personal trainer making me work real hard but i started feeling really tired even thou it was just 20mins into the lesson. next thing i knew id blacked out and woke up wit my pt standing over me(wasnt complaining as he is HOT!!) my bloodsugar levels had literally ran out n i had to hav sm jaffa cakes. so moral of story is: losing weight n getting fitter is great but make sure you stay healthy.xx

You can always have a *little* of something. Just don't go overboard. You can a have a few sweets. After all you have to reward yourself!

howdy
well there are some foods that are good to help you lose weight. apples are supposed to be good. not that you would only eat apples, that would be insane. but i mean eat one after every meal. the sourness of the apple is supposed to cut down all the grease and yucky stuff kids consume. and also, soda is super sugary, so if you can stay away from soda pop, and gatorade and powerade. drink alot of water, but not too much, again, that would be insane. always take food out of its container, like ya know i tend to chow down on cerial, but what keeps me from eating too much of it, is taking it out of the box and pouring it into a bowl. samething with icecream scoop it in a bowl. these are just little psychological tricks that can help you. its like ya know, when you have a hershey bar, like it gives you alot of little pieces, so even though you are eating an average size candy bar, since you break it into little pieces your mind thinks your eatin more. well i hope that helps, be strong everything will work out.
ciao

All you need to do to lose some weight is drink a lot of water everyday and only have one little snack a day, like an apple or fruit.
I used to weigh 135 pounds and now i am at 116. Drinking water turns your fat into something other than fat or it shoos it away. My mom told me that the more water you drink and if you eat normally you'll be very happy in no time!

If you eat salads, grilled or baked chicken or fish, and eat more veggies and fruits it will help. When you drink lots of water it helps to make your stomach full, that way you wont eat as much. email me at meme@islc.net.
