I am way too fat and I need help! Is this a good idea to loose weight?!


Question: I am way too fat and I need help! Is this a good idea to loose weight?
I am 17 years old. I currently weigh around 180 lbs at 5'5. I would, ideally, like to loose about 60 pounds, but I am flexible between a 40 to 60 pound weight loss goal (so that I weigh between 120 and 140 pounds).

I have been successful at removing soda and slurpees from my diet. I used to drink soda almost every day in addition to one or more 64 oz. Slurpees a week. I will, on occasion, drink a small coffee drink from Starbucks, and now that winter is approaching I have been having some apple cider (including sparkling cider). These are treats though, and I primarily drink water (with or without lemon or lime) and skim milk on occasion.

I have attempted different diets (including South Beach and Weight Watchers) with little success. I am hoping to find a way to loose weight that I can do without thinking about it too much.

I was wondering if the following two steps would be good habits to get into to start loosing weight:

1. At least half of my meal consists of fruit and/or vegetables
2. An hour long walk.

As far as the walk goes, now that the weather is colder, I will probably be walking in place while watching TV. Sometimes I will just march, but other times I will incorporate moves from the Walk Away the Pounds DVDs. Still, I will be intentionally active for 60 minutes each day (and I will increase to moderate jogging as I get into better shape). In addition to walking, I will be playing Wii Sports and using the Wii Fit often.

In order to eat enough vegetables, I will have to make sacrifices. This will mean cutting down on unhealthy foods-including french fries (which are a weakness of mine).

So, are these good tips to help me loose weight?

1. At least one hour of at least marching in place in front of the TV
2. Half a plate of veggies per meal
3. 64 or more ounces of water per day
4. Limiting self to Kids Meal sized portions when fast food is unavoidable.

Thanks for the help.

Also, if you have any success stories on weight loss, diet tips, or anything of the sort please let me know.

I'm 18 and I have never been able to loose weight until the south beach diet, it is so easy but you have to be commited! The first two weeks all you eat is vegetables and protein. No sugar or carbs. Sugar is what makes you over eat. I lost 13pounds the first two weeks and I have continued to loose weight. The first two weeks though you kind of feel tired and like you don't want to do anything, this is normal you are going through ketosis. Basically fat is just melting off you. Then after this step you can start to have like a piece of bread with eggs in the morning but it has to be alvarado street brain(it is like whole grain) it is really easy to do at school too! I just have a cheese stick and cashews for snack and a chicken ceasar salad for lunch and then for dinner have proteins and vegetables! It works and you don't really need exercise in the beginng only 20minutes of walking



Eat more food since stomach acid is based off fats and it will increase your metobesim.



take hard excercise especially abs and pushups



I recently ate for free in one of them fast food places haha. You possibly can as well, only need to be quick about it!

yes those are really good ideas. But you willl only lose the weight if you continue doing this everyday. Don't give up!



Yes. All of those except for the fast food. I'd recommend doing cleansing/ detox to help. ANY fast food will mess you up.



It was so really hard for me to lose all that weight. I have tried so many products but they always left me disappointed. After I had my first child, it went down hill after that; I wasn't to lose the weight I put on from maternity and I just started getting depressed. I was considering cosmetic but it was really expensive. A friend of mine told me about these diet products that she used on a daily basis, I thought for a moment god no, it's another one of those, but she looked incredible. So I took her advice & started using them, have been using them for almost 1 and half weeks now. And I was shocked to see that I dropped 8 lbs. I couldnt see much weightloss the first week, but after that I began seeing constant weightloss. I've lost 20 lbs now. I have to tell ya, I feel incredible, and I'm sure my husband loves it. Here is the info: proloseweighttools.tk

I trust my journey will get you motivated, now I just need to maintain the weight off and not fall back into one of those dreadful state again.
