I’ve been trying to loose weight, How do I if…?
I have sort-of big bones, but I want to loose weight. I want to look like those skinny model girls. I’m an actress, and my acting coach told me I need to loose 10 pounds to fit the role in his movie. I’m currently 113 Lbs. How can I loose weight quickly, and look skinny and beautiful?
I didn’t add enough about myself. So, I am 5’2 and 14 years old. Yes, I know that’s very young, but I need to or else I loose the role, and I really really want this part. I don’t want to be underweight, unhealthy, or sickly looking, so I refuse to starve myself, but I just want that 10 pounds gone.

Where are you on the BMI? 113lbs is already thin for someone of normal height. Unless your under 5′ (like a dwarf) or are going to be playing an anorexic in a movie your weight should be fine. Check my link below it will guide you through safely losing weight.

113 pounds, thats not even overweight!
but if you want to loose weight, the best thing would be doing lots of cardio.
it burns the most fat.

Impossible to know if your weight is already normal. You don’t give enough information.
But, you can only look like the best possible version of yourself, not like some naturally skinny person with a different body type.
I’m following a lifestyle which keeps me pretty lean, but could I be a skinny model? No.
Maybe some of the information in my blog would help you lose 10 pounds. Check it out.

If you have big bones you’re not going to be skinny…ever. Big bones mean big muscles which means your a mesomorph or an endomorph or somewhere in between those two soma types. Regardless, skinny models are born, not made.
Losing ten pounds is possible but it’s probably not going to happen fast…or at least as fast as you would like. It’s human nature to enjoy overeating while contending with the extra pounds it brings and then, when summer hits or there’s a wedding or whatever, to try to lose the fat fast. The obvious problem with that is you didn’t get the fat fast and you won’t be losing it fast and when you do lose it, if you haven’t changed your eating habits for life, you’ll just regain what you lost until the next yo-yo cycle.
The best way to lose fat is to eat a proper diet and include some exercise. Check out these fitness facts.
• If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you have to lose fat eventually. There are no exceptions to this fact.
• There are only two nonsurgical things you can do to sculpt your body and they are (1) add or lose fat and (2) add or lose muscle. Muscle can only be lost naturally through atrophy.
• A pound of fat will yield about 3500 calories (Kcal) of energy.
• An average person must run or walk about 5 miles (8 km) every day to burn one pound of fat per week BUT THEIR DIET MUST ALLOW IT.
• An average person must run or walk about 350 miles (563 km) to burn 10 pounds BUT THEIR DIET MUST ALLOW IT. If they walk 350 miles (13.4 marathons) at 3mph it will take them 117 hours or about three full 40 hour work weeks to burn 10 pounds of fat.
• If an average person consumes 500 calories per day less than they burn, they will lose about a pound a week with no extra time or physical effort required.
•Running does not burn any more fat than walking as long as the distance remains the same.
• It does not matter if a person runs or walks a given distance…they will burn the same number of calories. Calories are energy and energy expenditure is not time dependent. How fast a person runs has nothing to do with how many calories they burn. Only the distance determines the calories burned.
• There is no exercise which will remove fat from a particular place on the body. Your body (genetics) determines where you lose fat, not you nor your diet nor your exercise. Spot fat removal by diet or exercise is a myth which is why people spend so much money on liposuction.
• It is not necessary to do “cardio” to burn fat. Cardio is aerobic exercise while maintaining a heart rate of 80% of max or more which is used to maintain cardio-vascular fitness. You can burn fat in your sleep.
• Most of the calories you consume will be spent just keeping your body temperature at 98.6F.
• It doesn’t matter how hard or how long you exercise, you will not lose any fat if you eat too much. You can always eat more calories than you can burn. When it comes to burning fat, diet always trumps exercise.
• There are no supplements which will make your body burn fat. Only you can do that with diet control.
• An average natural bodybuilder who is just starting to train may gain as much as 4-8 ounces of muscle in a month. An average dieter who is burning fat will lose about a pound a week. Anyone can gain a pound in a few minutes just be drinking a pint of water.
Now, here are the only two websites you need to lose fat.
A MUST FOR DIETERS http://www.freedieting.com/
BEST DIET TOOL ON THE WEB http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
And here’s how to do it.
• Go here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ and calculate your BMR.
• Go here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/ and multiple your BMR by the appropriate number for your activity level to get your daily burn rate or the number of calories you burn per day. For example, if you are “lightly active”, multiply your BMR by 1.375 or 1.725 if you are “very active”.
• Subtract 500 calories to burn one pound of fat per week or 1000 calories to burn two pounds of fat per week. Don’t try to burn faster than 2 pounds per week.
• Use the following macronutrient ratios for your daily burn: 55% calories from carbs, 20% calories from fat, and 25% calories from protein.
If you do the above, you will burn fat as long as nothing changes such as your activity level or your metabolic rate or weight.
Good luck and good health!!
