You need to exercise. Healthy eating and exercise is the ONLY way to successfully and healthily lose weight. It's not that hard: swimming is even an exercise. Do something you like, like swimming or walking, every day for at least 15 minutes. Take your dog for a walk, or your little brother and sister...Exercising isn't as hard as it sounds. You'll do fine. -J

Here is how you can loose weight fast, and I mean FAST! When I was 9 my dad went out and bought a home gym. Every once in a while I would hook up some light weight and lift for a while. I have lifted off and on until I was 11. I had some flab on my arm at first, but after a while I was amazed at how it all turned into muscle. I think that you should start working out every-other night. Before you get a bath/shower you should do some crunches, or sit-ups until you feel like you could throw-up! This really works. I also think you should start running. You should run around the block at least once every-other night. The key to loosing weight is to do something that that makes your heart beat faster, and keep doing that for a while! Then you should probably try out for pee-wee football! You would loose weight and gain some muscle from football practice.I know that you can loose the weight, cause you are a winner! Always believe that! I did, I weigh 156lbs, and can bench press 225lbs, and dead-lift 370lbs.Good-luck in the future,Dave

If you can't stop eating....walk,walk, walk...wallk until you can't walk no more. do this every single day. walking is the easiest exercise. instead of taking elevators use the stairs. Instead of riding in a car, walk to places. Every little thing helps.

Hey,
doing those ab exercises are working, they r making ur stomach muslces stronger andm ore toned. But you could have the strongest abs in da world but wouldnt be able to show them off if ur got a big gut (lik me lol)
u need to lose weight overall ur whole body before toning ur stomach up. try whole body workouts like rowingor swimming.

Ab workouts will build muscle which will burn fat, but your gonna have to eat better and drink water, and I say this alot but, arobic excercise, like running, becuase it gets your heart going and if you work long enough your body will start to use the fat for energy and not carbs....okay then hope I helped.

hey, jenn, I ran around 2 miles a day everyday excepet for saturday. and also dancing is a great way to burn off the extra calories your body doesnt need. jumping rope is also a good workout, and jumping jacks, 10 or so pushups a day, and 50 situps a day(every situp burns 1 calorie, so, 50 situps=50calories burned) HOPE THIS HELPED!

hey, yeah, ok, this is what i do, i walk everyother day. if i don't want to i say you can't wear those jeans. try when u drink water, add a spoonful of sugar or a little lemon juice. i swear it works, try to do one thing one day, then somthing different, make a pattern of exercise, if you can still walk, then you can exercise, it is the only way you can do it with out putting ur health a t risk.

I'm not fat but after school every day I take my bike and ride for 30 min (Hilly areas are best cause it takes more effort). Then I do some stretching after swimming is also an excellent way to loose. Please e-mail me back at bluelilly27@hotmail.com if you wanna know more or IM me at Summerblossom27.
