Answers: I need some advice on how to lose these few pounds.
Why are you worried about 2 to 4 lbs?! Your 12, wait and in another year or so it will disappear as long as you stay active. Don't let others influence you on how YOU should look. You are the only person you have to make happy. Just stay away from the junk and sodas and I bet you would loose it in a blink of an eye.
When I was 12 I was over weight and I was real active then hiking, softball, running, karate, rode my bike everywhere. When I got into the 7th grade it was like it all disappeared with in a few months. Hormones , play a big role so let your body do what it does best.
Running is the best all over fat burner. If you do not like running, have breathing problems or cannot run, you can walk at an incline. For example if you walk on a treadmill at 4 mph at 10 incline for 45 minutes, you have burned 500 calories. Eat mostly fruits, vegetables, and protiens. Try to cut back on sugar or not eat anything full of sugar such as candy, cookies, etc but natural sugars (found in fruit) are fine. Here is a meal plan that will help you lose weight fast and not be too hard to follow:
BREAKFAST
1/2 grapefruit
2 egg whites
slice of whole wheat toast
LUNCH
pear
banana
Fiber One bar
serving size bag of Sunchips(your choice of flavor)
celery with peanut butter
DINNER
breaded and baked fish (any kind you like) or chicken
peas or any kind of vegetable
brown rice
SNACKS
cottage cheese
fruit
vegetables
protien shake (one scoop protien powder, nonfat milk, frozen fruit)
Also make sure you drink enough water. Drink one glass on nonfat skim milk a day or have it in a shake and then drink NOTHING but water. Take your weight and divide it by 2. The convert pounds to ounces. For example, if you weighed 150 lbs then divide by 2 = 75 lbs then convert to ounces - 75 ounces of water a day. Make sure to drink that much water every day.
Good luck :)
running helps, lots and lots of water - no fewwer then 8 glasses a day - and red macintosh apples are amazing snack.
good luck!
dancing, its fun and gets you sweating
good luck
at 12 YO, do you really NEED to loose 2-4 lbs? What is your motivation? I am afraid there may be a lot more behind this.
If you really want to lose weight you can follow the advise of the other answerers, I think you may just need to not eat as much of the sugary foods kids eat these days and in a couple weeks you will have lost the "necessary " wight.
