   Cut back on junk food and excercise for at least an hour a day. Just remind yourself how good you’ll look. =]
   Good luck.

   Now is the time to start because when you reach 40, it will be impossible to lose weight- start developing good habits now.
   Try walking… that will get you started, and not seem like too much to take on.

   There are healthy crackers out there, whole wheat options as well as low fat. Start making substitutions in your diet
   SLOWLY, then gradually increase and it will seem effortless.
   Good luck.

   Well, that makes it really hard. You need to be active and get exercise and eat healthy if you want to loose weight.

   Take in fewer calories than you burn. Reduce intake of sugar and simple carbohydrates. Eat more whole raw foods. They are less calorie dense.

   Okay i am a teen too. My friend is a little over weight and what she did was:
   Get together with a runners or someppl thats is an athletic type. And go on runs with them. Make sure they wont stop for you to walk and just keep on going. So if you stop you will feel left behind. That motivated her.
   Another thing is really watch what u eat. whatever you do DONT STOP EATING. Keep eating but in smaller proportions.
   And make a prize at the end if u have a set goal weight u want to lose. Such as if u lose 15 pounds u can fit in that certain out fit. Or if u loose 30 pounds ur friends will clean ur room. Whatever it is.
   Hope u lose the weight!

   Gaining weight is all about eating more than your burning off its that simple.Eating healthy three square meal a day is the easiest way to get to the weight you want to be.We try to exercise every day and that helps a lot also.Find something that’s fun for you to do and do it every day,watch your portions and monitor your weight every couple of days.Good luck to you.

    start small. stop drinking soda and replace it with water. Try and drink at least 10 glasses of water a day. One think that helped me was going to weight watchers. There I began to write down everything that I ate. I didn’t realize how much I was eating. Maybe you could take a week and write down what you eat everyday. Examine the list after a week and see which was mindless snacking. Those things you could definitely cut out.

    It’s not rocket science to eat and exercise right. Just do it with other fat friends so you can remind each other to lay off the cookies or something.

    don’t try a dramatically time consuming and life altering diet and exercise plan because you’ll only get frustrated. gradually cut back on junk food and don’t eat huge portions or too many servings (for example if you normally eat three servings of pasta, cut back to one or two). also, don’t add lots of extras to your food (butter, gravy, etc.) it’s easy to eat a lot of something because it tastes good but you should only eat until your hunger is satisfied. one trick to feeling full faster (so you won’t eat too much) is eating slowly. also, drink plenty of water. if you like to snack often, choose healthy snacks like fruit, or low fat granola bars. but allow yourself to have a treat every now and then. as for exercise, find something that you enjoy. if you hate running, then you’re less likely to do it. walking is actually very good for you so walk as often as possible. listening to music while you exercise can make it less boring and so can exercising with a friend. try lifting weights as well–nothing extreme, just a few pounds. building lean muscle makes you look slimmer and feel better. if you start getting bored of eating the same foods or doing the same activities, then change your routine a bit. keep a journal of your progress–seeing how far you’ve come will motivate you to keep going. also, find a friend or family member to be your accountability/support partner.

    The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did….lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won’t help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don’t eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i’m going pretty well if i don’t say myself. 90 LBS isn’t anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice.
