Question: I need help losing weight!? Thanks!?
Okay, I am 13 and I want to lose 16 pounds before school starts (in about 2 weeks) First is it possible to at least lose 6 to 10 pounds before school starts!? And second how do I do it!? Please don't say the 1 lb per week thing and don't be really general like eat right and exercise daily!. Give me a schedule or something tell me which sites worked for you (nothing I would have to buy please) and something easy to stick to thanks!.
Oh and please don't give me a lecture on how I shouldn't worry about these kinds of things thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
You are 13!. Are you sure you even need to lose weight!?
My best advice to you is eating small meals every 3-4 hours and making sure you exercise at least 30 minutes everyday!.
Some meals to consider:
Breakfast (around 8 AM) - 1/2 cup oats cooked in 1/2 milk and 1/2 water and 1 tsp of brown sugar (you can also add 5-10 nuts or a smaill handful of raisons into your oatmeal) with 1 banana and a glass of water!.
Snack (around 10:30 AM)- 1 green apple with 2 tbs of low-fat peanut butter!. 1 cup of skim milk!.
Lunch (around 1:00 PM)- 2 slices of whole wheat bread with 3 thin slices of low-fat cheese (any kind), 2 slices of low-fat turkey or chicken luncheon meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and 1 tsp of mayonaise (sandwhich), and then 1 low-fat vanilla yogurt (1/2 cup approximately)!. 1 glass of water!.
Snack 2 (around 3:30 PM) - 1 cup of apple sauce with a pinch of cinnamon sugar and 1 glass of water!.
Dinner (around 6:30 PM) - 2 cups salad (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, corn, peas, and whatever vegetables you like in a salad), 2 tbs of a low-fat dressing (e!.g!. light italian), 1 cup of speghetti with tomato sauce, 1 glass of water!.
Dessert (around 7:30 PM) - 1 cup of low-fat frozen yogurt (by chapman's or whoever and whatever flavour) with half a chopped banana and 7 walnuts with 1 tbl maple syrup!. 1 glass of water!.
The ides is to fill up on fruits and vegetables, eat more of your carbohydrates (breads, pastas, cereals, ect!.) earlier in the day and strive for whole-grain carbohydrates (this means choose whole wheat over anything that is refined)!. Also aim for low-fat dairy products and lean meats!.
For exercise, get up 20 minutes earlier than usual, go for a 15 minute run/fast-paced walk, and then, after school, go for another 15-20 minute fast-paced/jog/run!. Or you can do the full 30 minutes if you can most days of the week!. Exercise AT LEAST 3 times a week (this means cardio for 20-30 minutes and some strength training for 10-15 minutes and of course stretching for 5 minutes)
Strength training could be as simple as 20-30 push ups (you can do 10, stop, do 10 more, stop, and then do 10 more), 30 crunches, 30 bicycle crunches (matching opposite elbow to knee), and then bring your legs up straight (while on your back) and lower them until the are around 4 inches off the floor and hold for 60 seconds!. Finish off with the plank for 60 seconds (push up position except with bent elbows and crunching abdominals)!. If you do this 3 times a week either before going to bed or right when you get up in the morning, you will definitely start to tone up, assuming that you are also doing cardio at least 3-4 times a week!.
Anyway, I hope this helps and good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all i would suggest to cut down on fatty foods and trying to reduce the calories you consume every day!.!.!. BUT that does not mean that you should drastically reduce the food you consume every day!. BTW its okay to eat something "unhealthy" once in a while!.
Secondly do a lot of cardio!. I know it might be annoying to some, but running is a great way to lose weight!. It's not just running tho, you can also play other sports like soccer, basketball, etc!. However, I suggest jump roping!. It's a full body workout and i believe the best way to burn calories!.
Finally do simple exercises, such as pushups, situps, crunches, etc!.
Every pushup, for example, burns 2!.1 calories!. Just do 100 of them and you already burn 210!.
PS!. Drink a lot of waterWww@Answer-Health@Com

I cut out all sugar and sugary fruits and snacks!. I also cut down on breads and greasy snacks!. I ate salads, nuts, peanut butter on celery, low-fat or part skim cheese alone or on celery, turkey or ham rolled in lettuce for lunch, No-Fat milk, and some low-sugar yogart!. (This follows the 1st phase of the South Beach Diet on which you can loose fast in 2 wks)!.
Of course you have to exercise and do some tummy exercise!.
Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
