Ok i am fat and i wiegh alot but dont really look like i doi weigh about 175 :(and i am 5 foot 6im 13
i want to lose weight before i start eighth grade some advice and exercise tips....i reely want to change my life
Answer:
It's not just about exercise, it's about the food you eat.I just start 3 weeks ago on a fitness program. I lost 12 pounds, that's 4 pounds a week! I had a HUGE stomach, now it's 85% gone. I was 178lbs when I started, now I'm at 166lbs, 5'10".
I'm an 34 year old adult male, with a very experienced nutritional expert and personal trainer, you still might want to consider speaking with a nutritionist because your age is different.This is what I did:
No fast food, no sodas (only water and LOTS OF IT, not even gatorade) no fried food, nothing creamy, nothing with sugar, no starches (no potatoes of any kind), no rice, no ketchup, and NO PIZZA, NO CHEESE, no white bread, no corn, no butter, minimal salt. No carbohydrates which means pastas.
Avoid tomato sauces or ketchup, FULL OF SUGAR! No cookies, chips, most junk snacks. Basic restaurants I avoid: Places full of greasy food, chinese, mexican, italian. What I am eating:
Lots of chicken, fish, and salads.
Salads are ONLY with balsmic/vinegarette dressing, no croutons, nor bacon bits, and of course no cheese. FILL the salads with spinach and/or romain lettuce (not iceberg that has no nutrition) and FULL of Bell Peppers, green, red, yellow, cucumbers are good, onions are OK, tomatoes OK but not too much tomato.
I'm drinking soy milk as well.
For every 1 whole egg, I need to match it with 4-5 egg whites. The yellow part is the bad part, but you can even it out with 5 egg whites. (Although I've just been avoiding eggs lately).If I do goto a Mexican restaurant it's CHICKEN fajitas, with no cheese, no guacamole, no sour cream, and a max of 3 tortillas.I'll go to a restaurant and have salmon or various fish sandwiches but no tarter sauce, just lemon or get it blackened.I can eat lentils, and anything else that's not fatty, greasy, or full of sugar. Wheat bread is fine. I goto sandwich shops like Quiznos or subway and can eat a healthy turkey sandwich as well. You can have as much mustard/spicey mustard as you want (no mayo or honey mustard, etc).Cheese is my weakness, but 1/4th cup of cheese takes 1 HOUR to burn on a treadmill, so imagine what ONE slice of pizza will do!?!!?Along with this diet, I'm working out 3-4 times a week.When I first started out it was 20 minutes on the treadmill, now it's up to an hour (within 3-4 sessions). I keep increasing the speed and height. My 1 hour workout burns 700+ calories. I always make sure the 1hr is difficult, it can never be easy.My height is currently 11.0 and speed of 3.7 mph. Eventually I want to get it to 15 max height and 4-5mph.The treadmills at the gym ask for your height/age/weight, and you put in the time/speed/height and you'll know exactly how many calories you are burning.Make sure you are pushing yourself on the treadmill where your body is soaked with sweat and it's a killer workout. I started out at 7height/3.0speed/20 minutes and just kept moving up. Also remember, every minute after 20 minutes of your workout you BURN STORED FAT. So the sooner you get to 60 minutes, the better. Don't forget to stretch a little bit beforehand and always do the cooldown(about 5 min). You don't need more than 60min on a treadmill.Remember 80% is diet 20% is exercise. The combination of diet and 1 hour of treadmill 3-6 times a week will MELT POUNDS AWAY. You'll be severely decreasing your fat intake, and then burning calories which will allow you to burn stored fat. (Seriously, just getting rid of chips/junk food/fast food/sodas/fried food/Pizza and cheese, goes a long way).It's all mental. You have to be mentally prepared to change your diet, which is a big thing. People go into a depression when they lose their favorite foods. My trainer warned me sometimes people have withdrawal symptoms from certain foods like cheese. Then the treadmill is also mental, my body tells me to stop but I have to keep going even when I'm so tired or in pain from being so sore. Having an ipod and playing fast or rock music has helped A LOT.Water is super important I believe it's 64oz minimum, the lactic acid causes the soreness after the running, water helps reduce that. It's also important for hydration, and water helps keep hunger pain away. When I do get hungry between meals I'll have a lean body protein bar or a healthy granola bar, or I have a HUGE bag of carrots and you can eat carrots all day long, that's my snack food, no more chips.
There you go, that's a $500 lesson being relayed from a personal trainer through me to you. This trainer has 20 years of experience, is a specialist in nutrition and on his way to getting his M.D. so you couldn't get it from a better source. Everyone of his clients are having results, in fact, I often see OTHER TRAINERS in the gym ask him diet and workout questions.
Now you know everything I do about losing weight. I can confidently tell you this information because it worked for me. My 8 year pregnancy ended, I no longer have this huge belly. Now that my weight is better, I can loosen the reigns a bit, but I'll never go back to eating pizza 3 times a week and finishing a tub of buttered popcorn or a big bag of chips.Good luck, if you are TRULY ready to change your life, it can definitely happen.

I would start by looking at your diet plan first. Create a plan that allows you to eat 4-5 small health meals per day (this can be 3 meals and 2 snacks). Start becoming more active, instead of watching TV go for a long walk, play a sport or a bike ride.

first: eat rightthis means fruits, veggies, lean meats, other proteins, some carbs and not a lot of cokes, coffee, junk food, candies/chocolates (although a treat once a week is ok if you can stop at a small one)second: exercisethis can be swimming, power walking, dance, aerobics, pilates, tennis, biking, etc...any kind of exercise will help...you can also join a gym which has machines, personal trainer help and classes you can do with other peoplethird:Make sure to drink tons of water (carry a bottle around with you at all times, if it gets empty, fill it right away) and always stretch before exercising, that'll help any muscles that get sore quicklyalso, 1-2 pounds a week weight loss is considered safe so I'm not sure when your school starts, but I'd say you should only lose about 10-12 pounds (assuming it starts in mid-august) but if you keep going during the year, and if you keep it up even when you have reached your ideal weight (whatever that might be, I'd say between 125-145) you'll continue to have a better, healthier lifestylecheck out your BMI to give you an idea of what weight you want to try for (see link below)good luck

You are probably not as fat as you think you are. Also, you may have not kicked in with losing some baby fat still as well. Just keep doing what you are doing and eat healthy, stay active and do not become lazy or else you will become fat and not the tolerable fat either.

Well I'm not overweight, but what I do to keep healthy is, take the long way home, do some crutches/sit-ups, stop eating the chips, and eat an apple, or some other friut. You could also have a smoothie for breakfast. What I do sometimes is look in Woman's Day, RedBook, and other women magazines, and take some tips from them on how to lose weight, or how to plan a heathy meal. Run around the block a few times, and watch an exercise video.

Instead of eating 3 big meals a day, eat 4-5 smaller meals a day. And I don't mean 1 grape for breakfast, a cracker, a carrot, and a slice of apple. I mean cereal, eggs, toast for breakfast, and a healthy tuna fish sandwich for lunch with chicken and rice for dinner and 2 small snacks in between. Eat healthy foods. And although these foods may be healthy you still need to control your portions. Replace your Milkyway with an apple, and avoid all the other sugar-filled foods (they rot your teeth and clog your arteries). It's okay to have a small chocolate treat every once in a while, but only a small one. Fruits, veggies, lean meats, protein, whole grain and wheats are all good to eat. This could be apples, carrots, chicken, eggs (FULL of protein), whole grain cereals, and wheat bread instead of white bread. Play some sports like softball or soccer or whatever your into. If you aren't into sports then you can get your physical activity another way. DDR is a great way to get excercise. Or, just put on some music and dance around your room for a half an hour. You can even take time to do simple things like a certain amount of crunches a night or use a treadmill. If you want you can go on a jog or a walk a couple times a week. BUT, do NOT overwork yourself because that can have serious consequences. The most important thing to remember when trying to lose weight is to not lose too much weight. Crash diets and overworking your body are not the right way to lose weight. Eat right and control your portions. When your excercising, if you feel dizzy, weak, or nausious, stop and take a drink or water or rest for a minute. Remember: 5-2-1. Five fruits and veggies a day, two hours of screen time (which means two hours total of computer or video games or TV, not including homework), and 1 hour of excercise 3-4 days a week.Hope this helps!
