 Weight Loss and Your Physical Appearance |

=> Im 13 and 260 lbs. Ive been overweight my whole entire life. I really want to lose weight but I'm scared of many things that I'm not sure of. Maybe could you answer them?
First. I want to lose weight. Of course. but i don't want saggy skin. will i get saggy skin even being at this young age?
Second. I have stretch marks, will they fade within time or no?
last. uhh.. this is embarrassing but.. my breasts seem to sag. as i lose weight will they.. firm up.. or sag more?
i really hope you can answer these questions. Thank you.
=> I am 12 and a half and I have lost 29 pounds I used to be 169 pounds but now I am 140 pounds so I have a question when will I lose my buffalo back BTW I am 5'3 and still growing oh and also what is the healthy weight for me??

 Congratulations on wanting to lose weight, that's the first step. Too rapid of weight gain or loss can contribute to saggy skin and stretch marks. But, there are things you can do to minimize both.
Saggy Skin. Skin takes time to resume its former level of tautness after fast weight loss. Losing weight at a healthy rate can minimize developing saggy skin. Younger people have more elastic skin, which has an easier time of "springing" back.
Stretch marks can occur with rapid growth or weight gain when the body expands faster than the skin can grow. They appear most often on the stomach, under arms, sides of the body, thighs, buttocks and hips. Stretch marks may not completely disappear but they do tend to fade over time. Losing weight will also help. The amount of time skin has been "stretched" by weight gain may influence it's ability to retract after weight loss. Nutrition can also play a role in how your skin responds.
A hump behind the shoulders sometimes referred to as "Buffalo Back" can form for several reasons. Some common reasons are: extreme obesity, a side effect of a prescription medicine, osteoporosis, long-term steroid use and Cushing's syndrome (a rare condition where the body has too much cortisol hormone). You should see your healthcare provider to diagnose the cause of the hump behind your shoulder. They can perform tests to determine the cause. If your hump is the result of obesity, a diet and exercise plan may help you lose weight and the hump.
Here are a few things you might try to help your skin return to it's previous condition:
1. Continue to exercise. Adding some weight training to your routine will help tone the muscles beneath the skin, which may make the skin appear more firm.
2. Drink lots of water. Water is an essential part of maintaining skin elasticity.
3. Eat enough protein. The ingredients that help keep skin elastic are collagen and elastin. Foods such as cottage cheese, milk, beans, seeds, nuts, and fish all contain collagen and elastin forming components, as well as oils that are needed help maintain healthy skin.
4. Take Care of Your Skin. Daily exfoliation can help to remove dead skin cells and increase skin circulation, thus improving skin tone. Stay away from harsh chemicals and too much sun exposure. They can decrease your skin's elasticity.
5. Above all, be patient. Waiting 1-2 years after reaching a healthy weight is often encouraged before considering more drastic measures such as surgery. Surgery has health risks of it's own and can also lead to scarring.
Fast weight gain can be a sign of emotional eating or a food addiction. Check out the tips on Say Goodbye to Problem Foods and "How Do I Lose Weight?" to help get your eating under control. Keep working towards your weight loss goals, you can do it!

FACT: fast weight loss doesn’t work and doesn’t last! Quick diets, and food fads are bad ideas. They don’t work either. So, BE SMART, LOSE WEIGHT SAFELY! Sure, we'd all like to lose weight fast but weight loss that occurs gradually (1-2 pounds a week) is more likely to stay off. Safe Weight Loss takes time and effort, so be patient.
Generally, successful weight loss requires healthy portion controlled eating and increased activity or exercise. We need to take in less (food) and put out more energy (exercise) in order to lose weight.
Try a STEP BY STEP APPROACH instead. Better choices, better results.  And, check out
How to Lose Weight and other Weight Control Tips for more ideas.
Instead of focusing on "I want to lose 30 pounds by "X"," try making WEEKLY WEIGHT LOSS GOALS. Learn to set achievable goals. For example, if your goal is to lose 30 pounds, make your first goal to lose 5 pounds. Then when you lose the first 5 pounds make your next goal to lose another 5 pounds. STEP BY STEP, that is the way to do it! When you accomplish the smaller goal first, you will feel more successful and it will make working toward the end goal weight easier. If you mess up one day, try anew tomorrow. Remember, weight loss is a daily journey!
Here are a few more tips:
1. Keep a food and activity diary. This helps you focus and tracks your progress. Try cutting back on food amounts and increase your activity every day. Review your progress daily. Once you reach that goal, try a new goal. You’ll be more likely to stick with it and it won’t be so overwhelming.
2. Check your weight on a scale every couple days. That way, if you are gaining, you can cut down food amounts a bit more and increase your activity. Lose weight the healthy way! You'll be glad you did!
Remember that losing weight involves making better choices, including healthy eating and exercise, so think about a plan you will be able to stick to. All the small changes you make everyday will add up over weeks and months to a healthier body and a healthier you. |

 Remember the story of the Tortoise and the Hare? Fast out of the gate, the Hare sped but soon floundered. Meanwhile, slow but sure came the Tortoise, and won the race! Similarly, just like the Hare, fast weight loss just doesn't work and doesn't last!
Although most of us would like to lose weight fast, gradual weight loss (1-2 pounds a week) is more likely to stay off. One to two pounds a week doesn't seem like much, especially when you have decided you want the weight gone quickly, but it's the healthiest way to do it.
To lose weight, we need to take in less (food) and put out more energy (exercise). You will need to take an honest inventory of yourself and make a plan. It's time for a STEP BY STEP APPROACH. This involves making better choices, including healthy eating and exercise, so think about a plan you will be able to stick to for the rest of your life. All the small changes you make everyday will add up over weeks and months to a healthier body and a healthier you.
Instead of focusing on "I want to lose 30 pounds this summer," try making WEEKLY WEIGHT LOSS GOALS. Learning to set achievable goals is key. For example, if your goal is to lose 30 pounds, make your first goal to lose 5 pounds. Then when you lose the first 5 pounds make your next goal to lose another 5 pounds. STEP BY STEP, that is the way to do it! When you accomplish the smaller goal first, you will feel more successful and it will make working toward the end goal weight more attainable. |

TV advertisements, weigh loss Internet sites and magazine ads that promise fast weight loss are promoting unhealthy and unsafe practices. Diets that promise rapid weight loss and food fads are just plain bad ideas. Don't do them. 
The Healthy Way: Losing 1 to 2 pounds per week is considered safe weight loss, and is a good goal. Generally, successful weight loss involves two parts: 1) healthy portion controlled eating and 2) exercise. We need to take in less (food) and put out more energy (exercise) in order to lose weight. It's as basic as that. Take a look at the School Area of this site such as How Do I Lose Weight, and Weight Control Tips.
One to two pounds a week doesn't seem like much, especially when you have decided you want the weight gone, but it's the healthiest way to do it. Instead of focusing on the total weight loss goal, try making little goals that lead up to the big goal. When you accomplish the smaller goal first, you will feel more successful and it will make working toward the end goal weight more attainable. For example, if your goal is to lose 40 pounds, make your first goal to lose 5 pounds. STEP BY STEP, that is the way to do it!
Here are a few more tips:
1. Keep a food and activity diary. This helps you focus on what you are currently doing and can help you track your progress. Try cutting back on food amounts (watch out for fried or fatty foods as well as sodas) and increase your activity. Review your food diary EVERY DAY and identify better food choices you can make the next day. Do the same with activities. Try to be active most days. If you do fun activities you enjoy, you are more likely to do them. If you mess up one day, try anew tomorrow. Remember, weight loss is a daily journey!
2. Check your weight on a scale every couple days. That way, if you are gaining, you can cut down food amounts a bit more and increase your activity.
Remember that losing weight involves making better choices, including healthy eating and exercise, so think about a plan you will be able to stick to for the rest of your life. All the small changes you make everyday will add up over weeks and months to a healthier body and a healthier you. |

|
Many "diets" promise fast weight loss results. fast weight loss is not recommended, in fact, most people who lose weight quickly end up gaining it back and then some. 
When working on permanent weight loss, think about a plan you would be able to stick to for the rest of your life. Losing weight involves healthy lifestyle changes that you will commit to forever. It may take several tries before you find something that works for you, but then you will start seeing positive changes.

 While we would all like to lose weight as quickly as possible, weight loss that occurs gradually by making healthy changes tends to stay off the longest. 1 to 2 pounds a week is generally considered safe for losing weight. While that doesn't seem like much initially, that adds up to 8 pounds a month!

Congratulations on wanting to lose weight. That is the first step to a healthier you!
Before you decide to start on a weight loss program, it is always a good idea to check with your health care provider to make sure that you don’t have any underlying health problems. They may recommend a special diet plan for you. Safe weight loss takes time and effort, so be patient.
In general, losing 1 to 2 pounds per week is considered safe, and gradual weight loss tends to stay off longer. Quick diets, food fads, anfast weight lossss are bad ideas. They don’t work. So, be smart, lose weight safely!

| Losing Excessive Stretched Skin After Childbirth or fast weight loss |
|
=> im 20,i have a 2year old, i was abot 140lbs before getting preg and wen i had my child i was 250lbs , i have been "sorting my life out" for 6munths now, and have lost 40lbs just from eating well and walking, will the stretched skin go back in to place or do i need to do more for that to happen ?? thanks
|
Congratulations on your successful weight loss! As you have discovered, stretched skin takes time to resume its former level of tautness. The fact that you are losing weight at a healthier rate now can help avoid the formation of saggy skin.
Here area few things you might try to help your skin return to it's previous condition:
1. Continue to exercise. Adding some weight training to your routine will help tone the muscles beneath the skin, which may make the skin appear more firm.
2. Drink lots of water. Water is an essential part of maintaining skin elasticity.
3. Eat enough protein. The ingredients that help keep skin elastic are collagen and elastin. Foods such as cottage cheese, milk, beans, seeds, nuts, and fish all contain collagen and elastin forming components, as well as oils that are needed help maintain healthy skin.
4. Take Care of Your Skin. Daily exfoliation with sea salts can help to remove dead skin cells and increase skin circulation, thus improving skin tone. Stay away from harsh chemicals and too much sun exposure. They can decrease your skin's elasticity.
5. Above all, be patient. Waiting 1-2 years after reaching a healthy weight is often encouraged before considering more drastic measures such as surgery. Surgery is expensive and is not covered by most insurance policies. It also carries health risks of it's own and can lead to scarring. Good luck on your path towards a healthier you. |
| Boredom eating and fast weight loss |
|
=> i know im over weight but i have a problem that its not really cavings but just eating out of boredom and cause it taste good i try running and exercising but its not working as quick as i would actually like it too and my weight is a big problem so is there any way i could lose weight quickly and stop my horrible eating habits
|
Rapid weight loss is not the safest method to lose weight, and it has been shown that weight loss that occurs gradually tends to stay off.  It is generally considered safe to lose 1-2 pounds per week.
We don’t lose weight when we are consuming more calories than our bodies need. It sounds like you are active and exercising, which is an excellent start. If you find that you are eating out of boredom and even when you are not hungry, you may be using food to cover up emotions. This emotional eating becomes a habit, but habits can be broken with effort and patience. Try to plan ahead to deal with this situation by using something other than food to make yourself feel better. For example, if you are bored when you get home from school, keep a list handy of other things you could do instead of reaching for that snack. Go for a walk, draw or paint, chat with a friend. Of course, if you are truly hungry, you should eat a healthy snack, and always make sure you are drinking enough water. Ask your mom to pick up some healthy snacks that are easy to keep in the cupboard for just such a moment rather than chips or cookies.

| How can I lose weight really fast? |
|
=> hi need to lose weight fast about 60 pounds.cuz im going somewhere special.Almost everyday i cry i alwys say i will starve tomorrow then you will see me running to the ice cream truck.
|
fast weight loss is not recommended and it is not safe. Starving yourself is not healthy and telling yourself that you will starve tomorrow sets you up for failure. Make more specific goals for yourself that you can achieve. Start out with the goal of losing 10 pounds, and then write out how you are going to achieve this. Are they healthy ways? Then write out a list of things that you think may prevent you from reaching your goal. Make a plan of how you will address these obstacles. That way you have a plan ahead of time instead of right in the middle of the battle. |

fast weight loss is not recommended. It can lead to health problems and most people who lose weight quick end up gaining it back and then some. In fact, one way to tell if a weight loss program is a gimmick is if it promises quick results. The most weight that health experts recommend for a person to lose in a week is 2 pounds. That equals 8 pounds per month. It doesn't seem like much, especially when you have decided you want the weight gone, but it's the healthiest way to do it. Instead of focusing on the total weight loss goal, try making little goals that lead up to the big one. Then when you accomplish the smaller ones you will feel more successful and still be working towards your big goal. For example, if your goal is to lose 35 pounds, make your first goal to lose 5 pounds. It makes it seem much more doable and helps you feel good throughout your weight loss efforts. Sometimes people try to starve themselves to lose weight fast. This is not healthy and cannot be maintained over a lifetime. When working on weight loss think about a plan you would be able to stick to for the rest of your life. If it doesn't seem possible chances are it won't provide you with permanent weight loss. Your best bet for weight loss is healthy eating and exercise. |
