you can't spot reduce so you'll just have to diet and exersize and reduce your overall fat percentage.

no- you can't spot reduce- you need to lose overall fat on your body to get at one part. sorry! i wish you could though- it'd definately be easier. oh well. i'm sorry to hear you broke your collar bone but what you can do right now is concentrate on an extremely healthy diet untill you can put exersizing back into your plan. go to www.caloriesperhour.com to find out how many al.s you burn in 24 hours and then eat less then that and you'll lose weight...

BMI Ranges: What they mean
Experts generally consider a BMI below 20 to be underweight and a BMI of 20 to 25 to be healthy. BMIs of 25 to 30 are generally considered overweight while a BMI over 30 is generally considered very overweight (obese).

if you're truely doing what you said you are- then it is working no doubt about it- look, losing weight isn't some huge secret someone's keeping- it just takes time to see that it's actually working. and also- eat healthy but not too much of the healthy stuff becasue too many cal.s will just make you gain weight.

if you just take things one step at a time they really add up after a while. remember it's not a 1 day thing though. if you just get up and exersize in the morning then you'll feel better becasue not only does it help your body, but you'll feel relieved that it's over for the day at least. and then just do moinor tweaks to your diet- such as only drink water if you're going to drink something- or at least diet whatever...

you don't have to be skinny, you should be healthy. You want them to respect you because you take care of your body, not because you're some stick-insect. Take care of your body, feed it really healthy foods and exercise, and it'll take care of you. (okay, that sounds a bit weird, but go with it :) )

there's tons of reasons why you put on 1 lb. Maybe you drank a lot of water. Just because you put on a lb does not mean you're doomed to be fat forever, you could just be bloated, there's tons of reasons.

That wrist test does not work for figuring out your frame size, when I was over weight the test said I had a large frame but since I lost weight my wrists are smaller and are now a medium. Over weight people usually have larger wrists too so if you lose weight your wrists won't be as large. Plus your test doesn't factor in finger length I actually have fairly wide wrists but also SUPER LONG fingers so your test doesn't work at all.

try changing one bad habit at a time- like instead of coke drink water for however long till you're used to it.Then change another small bad habit and so on... i know it'll take a while but those chnges will last for a long time afterwards and besides, it took a long time to put on the weight right? so it'll probably take a while to take it off for good also.

Don't starve yourself! You can't lose weight quickly and safely, the safest way is 2-3 lbs. a week.

Actually, it isn't impossible to lose 30lbs in about 3 months. You just have to eat healthy, about 1500 calories a day. It really isn't that hard to stop eating junkfood. It's a good idea to lower your intake of junkfood slowly, you'll hardly notice the difference. Pick one day when you can eat something you like, for example ice cream, but don't eat too much of it. And you have to exercise, atleast 30 minutes a day, the best would be about an hour a day. You should do the exercises that you like, like riding your bike, take a walk or maybe swimming.
Don't weight yourself everyday, since your weight changes from day to day, about once a week is enough.
If you just exercise and eat healthy you're gonna reach your goals.
