    First thing is to cut out all the extra junk food calories like pop, chips, energy drinks, fries and stuff like that. Drink lots of water and try to get out for a 20minute walk every other day. My friend was 230 and he lost 10 lbs just by walking and not drinking pop.

    I’m not an expert, but I can say this:

    -Drink lots of water, fruits, and vegetables.

    -Try to avoid cravings as they only last for about 8-14 minutes once you realize that you can’t have what you want (Yes, I got that from VH1! Lol)

    -SWIMMING is a great way to get in shape (it’s a full body aerobic exercise — just do a bunch of laps for about 45 minutes to an hour…you burn the most calories in this sport and you sweat the most, disgusting I know…but I’m a swimmer and it’s a great way to stay in shape :-))

    -Running and walking are great too because they help to lose cellulite and any extra fat off your legs

    -Wall-sits and bridges (Where you get on the ground and put your elbows on the floor and have them hold your body up with your legs straight out across the floor (but not on the ground)) help too…stretching your leg out at a 90 degree angle while the other one is straight on the floor is a great exercise too

    -Basketball also helps tremendously

    *Remember this tip: the darker the food, generally the healthier it is for you. And try doing these exercises everyday…and don’t eat unless your HUNGRY and cut your meal portions in half and avoid unncessary snacks (get a stick of gum or suck on an ice cube)

    Good luck and I hope you can lose the weight! 😀

    I read an excellent book called the Abs Diet by the auther of Mens Health Magazine. It teaches not only how to eat and excercise, but it breaks down why some foods are very good for you and can prevent disease, and why others can actually cause health problems. The basic idea of the book is how to get your muscle to burn fat for you.

    You need to cut out all junk food and pop. Start on a weekend where you will eat only fruits, salads and drink Water at least 8 glasses and stay in your room, watch TV etc. By Monday you will have lost at least 5-7 pounds. After that eat portion controlled meals, a quarter of your plate should contain carbs like potato or Rice or pasta, another quarter chicken or turkey and a half vegetables. Don’t drink fruit juices, drink water.Start exercising, buy yourself a Tae-bo Fat burner DVD and start slowly doing it, its hard at first but once you learn the routine its easy. During the day take 1 Sandwich with Turkey or Chicken to school and an Apple and a Banana. Breakfast have eggs and 1 slice of toast or
    1 package Quakers Instant Oatmeal and 1 Orange. If you keep this up without cheating you can drop 20 pounds in the first month, After that it will be a bit slower, my friend did this religiously and she started Labor Day of 2005 and by June 2006 she’s lost 120 pounds. She exercised every day one hour doing Tae-bo, ate no sweets, drank only tea and water, no butter or margarine on her bread, only ham or turkey and 1 slice of low fat cheese.
    You can do it, it has to become a way of life. Once a month reward yourself with your favorite food and eat it and get right back on the new eating habits you’ve developed.

    Look at ways that you can start eating healthier foods. Cut out your junk food and replace it with fruits if you get a sweet tooth.

    Stay away from fried foods and bake or broil things instead. Try to avoild greasy and fatty foods as much as possible. Increase your water intake, and decrease pop. Salads, and vegetables are good to snack on too. Don’t starve yourself!!

    Your next step is to start exercising and getting involved in activities! Start out slow and build yourself up. Walking is really good. Its good if you can start walking 15 minutes a day to begin with.

    I think its great that you want to be more healthier! I know its cool that you want to attract the ladies but do it for YOU!! good luck!

I think you are a sweetheart,just need to take the bull by the horns!!!!

    I’m fifteen, and I’m a ‘lady,’ so my advice may help. So, when I scanned your message, the biggie I noticed was that you wanted to lose weight to get more self confidence. Self confidence is definitely what you want. So, you want to attract the ladies and more self confidence. That’s you’re motivation, and you aren’t going to go anywhere without taking action.

    1) Set goals. You’re long term goal: lose weight. Short term goal: for example, lose 5 pounds in the first 2 weeks. Set yourself some realistic goals on weight loss, eating healthy, and exercising. You absolutely need to eat healthier by cutting junkfood completely out of your diet. And there’s always going to be those cravings, but when you go for that donut, think twice about your decision. You know you’ll regret it. And here’s the good part-after not eating junkfood for a while, you won’t even crave it anymore. You’ll be able to look that donut in the sprinkles, and it’ll look like a chunk of dog crap to you, and you won’t even want to eat it.

    2) Exercise. Exercising is really fun once you get used to it. At first, you won’t want to exercise, but stay positive and remember that it’ll benefit your life, your life span, your self-esteem, your ability to attract the ladies, and there are so many more benefits. Take it slow at first. Start going on walks. Finding an exercise buddy really helps, because it’s like you’re in it together, and you always have someone there to help motivate you. Once you start feeling better and more able to do longer walks, maybe start jogging. On those days where there’s crappy weather, work on lifting weights, do push-ups, crunches, and any other good exercise.

    One key to doing this is keeping positive. You have to think about your future, too. What everybody wants in the future is to be happy. You’re not going to be happy if you don’t start improving your life now. You also have to know that you can lose weight, because you’re in control. Make sure you start becoming a health freak, like me. I promised myself I’d never eat McDonalds ever ever again. That’s easy for me now, because I became a health freak. I eat like 5 apples a day, but that’s just because I love apples, and when my mom makes those tempting baked goods, I make a healthier choice and eat an apple, or something else healthy.

    Changing habits is difficult. You are also still growing.At your age, I would recommend subtle changes like 1% low fat milk instead of whole milk, fruits and veggies steamed of lightly sprayed with canola spray and roasted 16 minutes in the oven. Mashed potatoes moistened with chicken broth instead of butter and milk. No sugar coated cereals. No sweetened soda pop, no candy. Lean meats. Your family needs to be on a diet for you to succeed.Ride your bike to school or walk. Take the stairs, park further from stores, Just a few dietary changes can make all the difference in the world. Get the book “You ON a Diet” and get your whole family involved. Good luck. Give yourself 8 months to a year and 1/2 to succeed.

    cut out all the greasy fast food restaurants and have some salad instead use wheat bread instead of white just replace all the fatty greasy stuff with whole grain and fresh fruits and veggies I mean you dont wanna eat spinach while your friends are having fries but instead grab some raisins or a fruit salad it fills you up more than what those fries would instead of fried foods get grilled its not that hard just replacing and consider some type of excercise in your day a fast pace walk for 20-30 minutes a day 2-3 times a week then gradually add in 5 or 10 minutes depending on your body and you will start seeing results Good luck!!
