Weight Problem

[bna_li]

Need help... I am kinda... well, you know... So I need some help. Suggestions?

[lighterhead2001]

well...i have had weight problems too...dont worry about it yet just get out and do things Btw how old are you

EDIT: ok i see you're thirteen...right and you are groing you know just get out and have fun also watch what you eat and you pretty much will grow out of it dood :cool:

[bna_li]

14... How old were you? Do things.. Like what.

[lighterhead2001]

14... How old were you? Do things.. Like what.

dont worry like i said you will prolly grow out of it....but you know people do come in different shapes and sizes ;)

oh and one other thing if people make fun of you because you're fat they are the most immature people around....just be the better person hehe unlike what i did MUAHAHA

[Rift]

heck I was overweight last year (and i was vewy strong and funny) whenever some "popular" person made fun of me, i made fun of them back! hehe well most of its probly just baby fat, itll go bye bye soon, and i think im a lot thinner now is cause last year i became the best endurance and sprinter runner in my grade! yay!

[bna_li]

What... baby fat huh... :( Even 40-somethings call me fat... they're immature I guess... Lucky you... You're much thinner already...

[Kairyu]

Weight problem eh? Well, there are a number of solutions you can take, none of them are easy imo... What I did to lose much of my weight (since I do have to constantly stay fit in the military:\) is to:

#1. Watch what you eat. And I don't mean starve yourself and eat bread and water for a month straight. That won't do anything, infact you'll gain more weight that way. Eat light foods, and keep up eating a variety of foods, even beef and starchy foods. Junk food is ok... but remember too much of anything can only do harm.

#2. Run around! Pick up a sport, or just do something physical for awhile. Even if it means doing a morning jog every other day. Your body can't burn the "extra fuel" if you're not active. Oh! And don't do bursts of exercises! This doesn't help your body at all, if anything you'll end up with cramps and no progress. Take small steps and work your way up, for example just try walking around your neighborhood a couple times. After a week of doing that move up to adding 15 or more push-ups everyday. Get the idea?

#3. This has more to do with number 1, but I think its fairly important to know to increase your "water" intake. Not juice, soda, or coffee. I'm talking about regular good ol' water, or even the bottled variety. Doing so will greatly reduce your constant hunger strikes, not to mention its healthy for you.

And lastly, #4. Be positive about it and be patient! Losing weight doesn't happen overnight, if you want stats try weighing yourself once or twice a week before breakfast. Keep a record of this weight and see the pattern that develops.

Well that's what I do! And I'm at my target weight which is 160 pounds. If you can at least follow three out of the four steps you will see some improvement, but I recommend following all four steps. <.<
Ok that wraps it up, I hope this helps and good luck.

[Pluslechu]

I lost ten pounds in a week by spending a lot of time skateboarding and I only ate three meals a day and almost no snacks except apples or oranges...it was pretty easy for me, but I suppose it could be hard for other people...I hope that helps...It's actually very fun (and tasty if you like fruit :) ) way to lose weight.

[~*Silent Tattsu*~]

Hey Bna_li ya not alone there ! =3

Yup , yup i have had my share bit of Weight problems recently. Kairyu has taken da Words out of my mouth ;) Don't worry about it Bna_li , with self control and will power you can easily lose weight :).

Well i am 13 , and its more than normal to get Puppy fat (As in before and while puberty you gain more weight) and i did get Puppy fat as loads of other pre-Teens do. Now i'm 13 though , thats over and i am slightly overweight for several reasons , not eating the right diet , not exercising enough , and i have had a illness which needed medication , and the side effect was i gained weight :/

To lose weight , you do not need to go on your average diet as in stop eating completely or only eat fruit and veg for a month. You could do it , but thats the painfull way. There are other ways that are much easier and can even become enjoyable to do. I am currently going to our Local Health Club Gym , and i really enjoy it. The Gym for a start , is very nice and the equipment is really cewl , easy to use and its air conditioned in there (There are wide screen Tvs to plug your headphones into while you go on the Treadmill or Cycle ect.. I go to the Gym atleast two or three times a week. Its amazing how little can make such a change , i don't go to the Gym daily but i have already felt a difference in my Strength (Sit ups really pull ya stomache in =P) and i swear i already look different in my weight tone ^_^

So exercise is one thing , try to find active things to do that you enjoy ;) For eg. A sport you like or a Game. I go Horse Riding and Play Hockey. Exercise while doing things you like you can dance , skate , swim , run whatever you fancy !. If your like me and sit on the comp for too long in time , you can always just jog round the block or something every now and then :P Secondly is diet , Infact your diet is the most important key to losing weight. Take the Atkins diet , people lost weight on that without even getting out of their chairs. I love junk food like alot of people , but you have to slowly cut down on that for starters. Try not to eat to much Junk food , cut down on Carbohydrates like White Bread , Pasta and Rice which people often eat to much of and they gain weight from eating to much Carbs. Stop eating White Bread and eat Brown which is better for you as its a slow realising Carbohydrate ^^ Eating Potatos is alright , but try and eat the Skin aswell.

When you feel a Sugar craving coming on , instead of grabbing a Chocolate Bar have a very sweet Orange or Breakfast Bar. If you don't mind Dark Chocolate then eat a bit of that instead of Milk Choco which is worse. I'd also cut down on Milk since its very fattening. You can still eat Junk food , but not too often. If you are exercising enough then it won't matter as much. Eat better , Do enjoyable exercise and have fun ! You won't regret it in any way. Have confidence and remember never to listen to the Bullies who try to ruin your life . Their the lame ones and you know it ^-^

I have been bullied about my weight , (even though i am not "Obese or extremely overweight" i am just abit too podgy) and i know how much it can hurt. Don't listen to them , their the ones that look stupid =3 Oh dear i am ranting on now are'nt i ? ^^;
Hope this helps Bna_li !! n.n-

[bna_li]

I feel very encouraged... But I think the last step is the hardest... the patient part...:(

[Kayleigh]

Ah, it's okay. It's not that hard to get back in shape at all, as long as you do some of these things. You just need to stick with it. ^_^; Kairyu and the others gave some useful advice, but I'll still give some of my own health tips.

Drink lots of water and juice. Especially pineapple, apple, grape, etc. And every morning when you wake up, make drinking a glass of water one of the first things that you do. In fact, I would recommend cutting out soda and any other kind of junk, or atleast minimizing your intake. Soda has nothing in it that is good for you, so there's no use drinking it. And stay away from diet drinks. They have a chemical (Or something) called Aspartame in them, which is bad. (It subsitutes something in the regular drinks, but it's not good.)

Eating a lot of food all at once is no good. It's okay if you get hungry easily, just stay active during the day and you'll have no problem. It's better to eat small amounts of food at different times of the day instead of large amounts three times a day.

Stay active. This is most important for getting and staying in shape, plus it's extremely good for you. Don't just sit around all day, or else all of that wasted time will come back to haunt you when you're older and you find out that you have some kind of disease. When you stay active it keeps your blood flowing. When you don't, it just goes slower and your veins (I think) can get clogged up, and if they do it's deadly. Even if you don't have enough time to work out two or more hours a day, just 30 minutes atleast 3 times a week will keep you healthy. Whenever you have the chance, go on a walk, go swimming, get involved in sports, play outside, etc. There are a lot of fun things that you can do, and you'll hardly realize that you're actually excercising. Just don't push yourself. Go at your own pace. Don't expect to just be able to run 10 miles on your first try. You have to build up your muscles, and eventually they'll be really strong so maybe you could do that. Excercising isn't only for losing weight. It's good for you. A lot of people that are in shape excercise just because they want to stay healthy, and live longer lives. I know this for a fact. My 67 year old grandmother excercises every day, and she can do some things that I can't, or can barely do! O_O She can raise her whole leg up to touch her head. Lol, that's some proof. Also, if you just walk really slowly you're not going to get anywhere. Go up hills, walk fast, etc. And stretching before you walk or do any kind of excercise is a must. Always do that.

And if you want to try it, here's a really good diet that works. I know, it seems like it would be hard, but it's only three days, and if you stick with it and follow it exactly, you could lose a lot of weight very easily.






A Diet from the American Heart Association




Lose 10 lbs in one wk.


Must be followed exactly. No snacking.



1st day – Breakfast ……….….½ grapefruit,1 slice dry toast, 2 tbsp peanut butter,

black coffee or tea

Lunch……………...1/2 cup tuna, 1 slice dry toast, coffee or tea

Dinner………….….2 slices any type of meat (approx 3 ounces) 1 cup green

Beans, 1 cup beets, 1 small apple, 1 cup vanilla ice cream



2nd day – Breakfast…………..1 egg, ½ banana, 1 slice toast, coffee or tea

Lunch……………...1 cup cottage cheese, 5 saltine crackers

Dinner……………..2 weiners, 1 cup broccoli, ½ cup carrots, ½ banana,

½ cup vanilla ice cream



3rd day – Breakfast…………..5 saltine crackers, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1 small apple,

black coffee or tea

Lunch………………1 hard boiled egg, 1 slice dry toast

Dinner………….…..1 cup tuna, 1 cup beets, 1 cup cauliflower, ½ cantaloupe,

½ cup vanilla ice cream



This diet works on chemical breakdown and it is proven. Do not vary or substitute any of the above foods.



Salt & Pepper may be used. No other seasoning.



Where no quantity is given, there are no restrictions other than common sense.



This diet is to be used only 3 days at a time. In 3 days you will lose 10 lbs. After 3 days of dieting, you can eat normal food, but do not overdo it.



After 4 days of normal eating start back on your 3 day diet. You can lose up to 40 lbs in one month if you stick to it. This is a safe diet.



Remember………..Do NOT Snack between meals.



Drink plenty of water.

[Pokemaster10000]

I have one of those guides from the American Heart Association also. :P

I snack plenty of time and eat too much but I soooo skiny. O.o
It's probaly because I excerise too much. XD

[Kayleigh]

Yeah. ^_^ I took it one time to get healthier, and it does work. It's a safe diet so there's nothing to worry about. Just follow the instructions exactly.

[Pokemaster10000]

So doing the opposite will make me a bit fatter right? XD
I need to be to a little plumpier since someone can mistake me as a skeleton. :P

[Kairi]

Um, pretty much all the good advice has already been said, but just stay encouraged, we're all here for that. If you slip and eat a lot of junk food or something, don't give up. Just keep at it, even if you do slip now and then. It's much better to stick with it even if it means eating a little more, than sticking with a strict diet and binge eating every week. If it helps you feel better, you could kind of post in this topic how you did on good days and so forth. Encouragement is important with staying with it too. On days you goof up, just shrug it off and remember to try not to again. No one is going to put shame on you for messing up, it's human. We'll only offer comfort and advice on helping you resist binge eating. And you will probably mess up, sure. If you can get a good diet established now, it'll help you your whole life, as Kayleigh said. ^_^

[Greed]

Hmm, all I can say is.. Don't eat out of the ordinary O.o; That's what I did, and I lost some pounds >_<;; A good way to do that is to get yourself busy somehow. Watch TV, draw, anything to get your mind off food ^^;

*dies*

*dies*

Maybe that's why I'm skinny. I eat like a dinosaur but I never think about food when I'm not eating it.
Jeez, I'm eating junk food right now. :P

[bna_li]

No one is going to put shame on you for messing up, it's human.
Well... are you sure... there are some ppl here who do. But I would like to say thanks again. And it is easier said than done. Its easy to think you can do it... but when the real test comes...

[Pokemaster10000]

I'm sure you can do that if you work hard on it bna li. ;)
Just do what Kayleigh told you to do and you'll be fine.

[Chairman Kaga]

I'm pretty big, but I don't worry about it for now...I'm 16, and I told myself when I'm 18 I'll start working out and stuff...I just want to sit back and eat potato chips as long as I can before I'm thrown out in the world. I don't look that bad...no one says anything to me about it, at least. The problem is that I eat portions that are too big...my mom gives me enough food for three people at dinner, which is bad...I have a small breakfast and an average lunch though. The only time in my life when I ever had massive weight loss was last year when I first became afflicted with horrible depression...I lost 10 or 15 pounds in 2 months, basically because I was never hungry. I'm still hardly ever hungry now, but I can stand to eat again.

My only advice is to not worry about it for now, and when you have more freedom just work out and eat right...that's my plan.

[100marios]

My mom tells me that even though at times you may think you are hungry, you actually are just thirsty. Drink some water and that feeling should go away.
.....and it's true most of the time!

[Pokemaster10000]

I never drink water just juice or soda.
*Stuffs shirt with paper* I hope this makes me a little fatter. :P
As I said before, I too skinny.

[Ryoutarou]

Man i USE to be big last year i weighed 453 at the most and it was so sucky so one day i just got pissed and started working out and got on a really good diet...now i'm down to 293...and i look like one of the football player's...i dont look big with the weight i have now but my doc says that a "idol" weight for someone my age and with my chemistry is somewhere around 280-300 any less and i would look like a pile of bones anymore and i would look really big so right now i look 190 or so but i'm more then that...if i really weighed 190 i would look like a really puny kid i would look like a 10 year old or something..and i do a lot of workouts and i only eat once a day..and it does help...just do walking it's what will help you the most it got me down 50lbs in 3 months and try weight lifting if you think your to old to lose the weight you can try to build a muscle bound body and that's a lot eaiser and then most of the weight would be mucle...so just try to eat well here's how i eat....

Monday
no breakfest
no school lunch
8pm dinner...bowl of rice..half ounce of pork and ONE cup of soda

Tuesday
no breakfest
schoollunch-ONE slice of pizza and a bottole of water
dinner-Anything

Wendsday
No breakfeast
no lunch
dinner...Half a ounce of any meat 1 egg a up to 5 bowls of rice TWO cups of soda(preferably the chep kind) and maybe a candy bar

Thursday
no breakfeast
lunch-Pizza and firies and a bottle of water
Dinner-Bowl of rice and 1 egg no soda

Friday
One egg white
no lunch
dinner-Anything

That's how i do it and i really never eat breakfeast at first is kinda messed with me for a week or so but i go used to it it's not a starvation diet becuase you are eating a good amount of food and you are drinking a lot of milk and water when you dont eat.

And remember that you must exersise everyday at least 20min of walking will help you..

My workout---
Monday
5:30-20min of walking
3:30pm-1/2 hour weight lifting
8:00pm-one hour of sports

same up untill thursday
Thursday-Friday
3:00PM-one hour to 1/2 hours of walking or something in sports
8:00half hour of wieght lfiting

and on weekend i do my REALLY INTENSE work out with weited cloths and perfecting my ZenZouBo a martial arts style i'm working on...
and with all this i dont look muscle you cant tell that i have any...i only have like one or 2 that you can see :P and i dont look skinny and i stay really fit...that's what i do but you have to give up A LOT of things for this and you have to get use to it fast if it still hurts by the midway point of the second week you should stop it or do something else...

That's my 2 cents and take it from me stuff like this works just 8 months ago i was 453 and my mom really though i was going to die...when i found out that we had to get all this "special" cloths for me that's when i took it upon my self to lose the weight and keep it off.

And Aspartame is something that can inflat your body with air and make it seem that you have extra weight it's really bad...and remember drink lot's of water...i drink one gallon a day of water and half gallon of juice a day...you get thirsty when you do all this stuff.

[tmbjr]

I was always real skinny, but when I reached adolescence, I realized my eating habits would catch up to me, and as soon as I started getting blubbery, I tried to take up sports (I'm not very good, but I stay active at least). My dad used to spend a lot of time at the YMCA when he was a teenager, so he knows some good exercises for each paticul part of the body. He can always help me out when I need it.

[Kayleigh]

My mom tells me that even though at times you may think you are hungry, you actually are just thirsty. Drink some water and that feeling should go away.
.....and it's true most of the time!
Yes, and same thing for when you're thirsty. It's your body's natural way of 'asking' for something to drink. But don't head for the Cokes or Dr. Peppers. Drink some water. Any time that you're thirsty it's because you need some water.

[DragonTrainer]

Eh, I'm glad I'm not fat, I keep myslef at a very nice steady weight. Heh, must be because of my high metabolism ._.''. Anyways, get out and exercise, and exercise a lot. I do that a lot of days, and I keep in very nice shape

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[Kayleigh]

Yeah. There's no use excercising if you don't have a healthy diet, and there's no use eating healthy if you don't excercise. Those two both work together, and if you do them then you'll be in great shape in no time. ^_^

[Kairi]

Well, I don't know. Some people probably can't get out and exercise. Even if you can't, and/or aren't overweight, a good diet will benefit you on some levels. ^_^

[DragonTrainer]

True, but everyone can get out and run every once in a while =/. Even if it is just a short walk around the neighborhood, it is better than no excercise at all :P. Just work out man, you'll get that nice slim body in time ;)

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[The Evil One]

****...

I'm a bit beefy as well, but unfortunately, I'm in the same class as a bunch of neds (scottish term), who completely take the rip out of me. So it's not fun...

[Kairi]

Some people--like my grandmother can't just 'get out and jog' Same for some people with illness or disability. I'm saying a good diet benefits you more than just losing weight. =\

[Legendary_Pokegirl]

Im sorry, I dont have any suggestions. Im to skinny so I dont really know anything about that kind of stuff. But I would like to try to help.

[Haruka]

Some helpful suggestions:
1. Cut out soda. Drink Water
2. Eat alot of fruits and Veggies.
3. Don't eat Fatty Foods aka Fast Food.
4. Lower your Carbs..

[Pokemaster10000]

Lowering carbs as in excerising right? :P
I never looked at nutrients. I just eat whatever that comes in
my hands. XD

[bna_li]

Some helpful suggestions:
1. Cut out soda. Drink Water
2. Eat alot of fruits and Veggies.
3. Don't eat Fatty Foods aka Fast Food.
4. Lower your Carbs..
Actually, I NEVER drink any sodas except during birthdays, etc... Or else its diet coke...

[lighterhead2001]

Eeeeeeew diet soda buah regular is better...but one time i drank a soda and got food poisoning (pesticides were in it) just like on fruit *Puts finger in the air with a professer jacket on* "Now there's a good lesson in this." "Always wash your hands and fuit before eating it." Muahaha

[bna_li]

I know it tastes better, but diet is less fat.

[100marios]

I know it tastes better, but diet is less fat.
My mom tells me they found something bad in the diet cokes. I forgot what it was exactly, but it's really, not a good thing. It just be as bad as drinking the real deal....
So I suggest to go on just a water and juice spree! Like so many others suggested hehe...

[Kairi]

Yeah, I think you can get high off it. Pretty bad stuff. =\

[DragonTrainer]

High off of soda? Now I heard everything. Eh, they use to put cocaine in coke, so I guess it's understandable. Just keep excercising man, you'll get there ;)

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[bna_li]

Ok. I sure will try.:D Thanks everyone.

[DragonTrainer]

No problem man. Also, if you need some more help turning that extra weight into muscle, I can give you an excercise routine that is bount to be very helpful, so long as you keep at it and do it mostly every day

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[bna_li]

Sure! I will try anything at all!

[DragonTrainer]

Hmm, ok, it will be tough, but try it:

Push-ups- 3 sets of 50
Crunches- 5 sets of 50
Jumping speed rope- 5 sets of 50
Bench Press- 3 sets of 15
Squat- 3 sets of 12
Also, try to run 2 or so miles a day, and work very hard at it

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[bna_li]

Hooh, sounds very extreme... I dont think I can do so many push-ups...

[DragonTrainer]

Eh, well, I do it frequently ._.''. Just start small I guess, and work your way up until you can handle it all. by then though you will have lost a lot of weight, and will probably have some good muscle on you man

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[bna_li]

I guess I'll try it...:D And I will be fit and thin soon....:D

[DragonTrainer]

Yea, you will be, just make sure you do it every day, and if it's at all possible, try to play sports or something. Get active, don't sit around and play video games all day. Sweat a little, run, just don't be lazy!

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[bna_li]

Thats the problem, I'd rather play than exercise...

[Kairyu]

Hmm well another fun alternative is to take up swimming at your local public swimming pool. Try to swim two or three laps to get a taste on how strenuous it really is, cool part is you're basically excersing your whole body. Doing this plus following a good diet will whip you in shape within a few months. But like DT said, you can't be lazy about it.
Oh and do not eat right before doing any exercise, especially the one I just mentioned.
My mom tells me they found something bad in the diet cokes. I forgot what it was exactly, but it's really, not a good thing. It just be as bad as drinking the real deal....Your mom was probably talking about the artificial sweetener, Aspartame. Its a active ingredient for diet sodas like coke and artificial coffee sugar. But is it really bad for you? Well, after reading up on this my opinion on it is, No it doesn't do anything to you. Another one of those urban myths me thinks, lol. If you want proof read through this link:
http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/nutrasweet.html

[bna_li]

Yes. I can swim... But somehow I dislike it... Maybe because of my swimmin teacher strangling me in the water...

No, it wasn't that. I knew of that a long time ago. My mom started to get a little worried about this new thing she found....

High off of it? I never heard of that one, but I suppose it could be possible. I've never drunk coke in my life, so I don't really have to worry about it....

Strangling you!? What!? That's not right....
What kind of teacher would do that to his or her students?

[bna_li]

A bad teacher... They are few, but there are...

[Tweak]

=-=; 5 saltine crackers? and 1 boiled egg?? so little...

i gained a LOT from 6th grade to 10th grade. =/ i think those are the growth years for people, so i guess its natural. loosing weight is easy, and so is gaining weight.

i play ddr , its a video game, but it helps keep me off my ****. i also bike everywhere. saves enviornment and burns calories.

if you eat 3000 less calories in a day, you'll loose 1 lb. therefore, if you just sit in bed for 2 days without eating, u'll loose 1 lb. cause u usually use up 1500 cals in a day by sitting. amusing, ain't it? :laugh:

[Ryoutarou]

well thats a good meal... not too much you should aside from workout keep your portioms SMALL

[Kayleigh]

Well, I don't know. Some people probably can't get out and exercise. Even if you can't, and/or aren't overweight, a good diet will benefit you on some levels. ^_^
Well, yes, you're right. ^_^; I probably sounded dumb, lol. It does help if you eat healthy foods, even when you can't excercise.

Hmm, okay. I've read some other proof that it is unhealthy from some doctors, though. One from a very trusted one. I don't really understand all of it, but it sounds like it would make sense, lol. Here are two pretty good links. One is a question-and-answer thing, and the other just explains the whole thing. I haven't read all of so I don't know everything yet. x_x;

[Pokemaster10000]

Man I just had Mc.Donalds and I probaly ate the worlds longest strips of french fry.
9 INCHES!
Wow, it must have contained 50 grams of fat inside. :P

[DragonTrainer]

Eck, I don't like McDonald's too much, the fries are way too greasy XP. A lot of them are very soft since of all the grease packed inside. Blech, that is so unappetizing

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

I also ran across the bridge home so I probaly exercised it out. XD

i only eat mcdonalds with...i'm starving and want fasttttt food. *now featuring ALL WHITE meat mcnuggets*

[bna_li]

Dude, that guy is really... undescribable.

As long as you eat pretty well (not too much junk food) and get a bit of exercise, you should be OK. I mean, if your doctor is telling you you're obese or something, you have a problem, but if it's just that you're the biggest kid in your class you should be fine. I mean, you're young, you're a boy. Boys have their growth spurts between 13 and 15, IIRC. When you have your growth spurt, all that weight is gonna stretch out and you'll be just fine.

Yeah I think I heard of it.
I saw in a magazine about the person who ate the most Big Macs. XD
There was a picture with a giant dude that had his mouth wide open perparing to take a bite out of a Big Mac. I had to admit that it was pretty funny. :P

[Ryoutarou]

I hate mc.d's it really sucks.....anyway's just keep up with the exercise and small meals!

[Kairi]

Those McNuggets I understand were a huge problem for McDonalds, as they were the biggest source of hidden calories. That’s why they’re pushing those new white meat ones. I’m not sure how much better they are though. =\

[DragonTrainer]

Come to think of it, I haven't ate McDonald's in forever :P. I'm glad I haven't, it wasn't very good when I use to eat it, I don't expect for their food to get any better =/

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

[Geometric-sama]

I haven't had McDonald's in a while. I used to love it XD. But now I like other food better. They stiill have the best nuggets though XD

[100marios]

I like to eat a nice home cooked meal above eveything else! My parents are the best cooks in the world hehe....
We were even joking about making a restaurant for my dad's food.
"Dad's Diner"!
Hehe...

Ah, it's okay. It's not that hard to get back in shape at all, as long as you do some of these things. You just need to stick with it. ^_^; Kairyu and the others gave some useful advice, but I'll still give some of my own health tips.

Drink lots of water and juice. Especially pineapple, apple, grape, etc. And every morning when you wake up, make drinking a glass of water one of the first things that you do. In fact, I would recommend cutting out soda and any other kind of junk, or atleast minimizing your intake. Soda has nothing in it that is good for you, so there's no use drinking it. And stay away from diet drinks. They have a chemical (Or something) called Aspartame in them, which is bad. (It subsitutes something in the regular drinks, but it's not good.)

Eating a lot of food all at once is no good. It's okay if you get hungry easily, just stay active during the day and you'll have no problem. It's better to eat small amounts of food at different times of the day instead of large amounts three times a day.

Stay active. This is most important for getting and staying in shape, plus it's extremely good for you. Don't just sit around all day, or else all of that wasted time will come back to haunt you when you're older and you find out that you have some kind of disease. When you stay active it keeps your blood flowing. When you don't, it just goes slower and your veins (I think) can get clogged up, and if they do it's deadly. Even if you don't have enough time to work out two or more hours a day, just 30 minutes atleast 3 times a week will keep you healthy. Whenever you have the chance, go on a walk, go swimming, get involved in sports, play outside, etc. There are a lot of fun things that you can do, and you'll hardly realize that you're actually excercising. Just don't push yourself. Go at your own pace. Don't expect to just be able to run 10 miles on your first try. You have to build up your muscles, and eventually they'll be really strong so maybe you could do that. Excercising isn't only for losing weight. It's good for you. A lot of people that are in shape excercise just because they want to stay healthy, and live longer lives. I know this for a fact. My 67 year old grandmother excercises every day, and she can do some things that I can't, or can barely do! O_O She can raise her whole leg up to touch her head. Lol, that's some proof. Also, if you just walk really slowly you're not going to get anywhere. Go up hills, walk fast, etc. And stretching before you walk or do any kind of excercise is a must. Always do that.

And if you want to try it, here's a really good diet that works. I know, it seems like it would be hard, but it's only three days, and if you stick with it and follow it exactly, you could lose a lot of weight very easily.






A Diet from the American Heart Association




Lose 10 lbs in one wk.

After 4 days of normal eating start back on your 3 day diet. You can lose up to 40 lbs in one month if you stick to it. This is a safe diet.



Remember………..Do NOT Snack between meals.



Drink plenty of water.

I posted a way to lose that much in 1 week and it was quite a bit simpler...o well, whatever works :P

[Dizzy]

Yes. I can swim... But somehow I dislike it... Maybe because of my swimmin teacher strangling me in the water...


You would so Love Lacrosse. It's the Only Contact Sport that you dont really need any Physicalness to do. Same with Football but Lacrosse is more Mellow and More European :) GO EUROPE!

Kay-Kay! Sorry to say but stay away from Pinapple juice, it causes Diarrhea. *CENSORED*

[Flygon trainer]

you know, it's strange. for the last year I was overweight. then I go to a computer school where you do nothing but sit, and I lost weight! how odd is that? and I've even been eating the foods I gave up in that year! like McDonalds... mabye the obsession with Subway has somehting to do with it...

[Pluslechu]

I love subway too :P The turkey sandwich with all the lettuce and cucumbers and tomatoes.. *drools*

[PM2008]

I hate Mc donalds! The only thing I would eat in there is a salad, and I'm not saying they are good either. :dead:

[Dizzy]

Food In General doesnt really please me... Okay who am I kidding I love food.. I have a complex though..

[bna_li]

Boy, you all are making me hungry...:(

[Tweak]

I love subway too :P The turkey sandwich with all the lettuce and cucumbers and tomatoes.. *drools*


mmm, quizno's is also good. ^_^ but they are more expensive. i haven't been to mcdonalds in...about a YEAR. and i get their dollar menu items most of the time because it is cheap. =X when i usually want to eat out, i get subway, it is healthier. jamba juice or other fruit smoothies are also good. :knockedou ****, i'm hungry. and its 12am. i had a turkey philly sandwhich today *drools* mannn that was good.

i didn't change my eating habits at all, and i lost a lot of weight due to excersizing. if i posted a photo of me 4 yrs ago, u prob wudn't recognize me cause i was fatter by 50 lbs. :paranoid:

[Kairi]

Wow, I kind of always imagined you as looking as you did in your photos. o.o;

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Quizno’s sub, come to think of it.

[Pokemaster10000]

Yeah I think there was a commercial on it.
My friend liked that commercial a lot.
I never saw it though.

*sigh* Those Subways commercials are wierd.
Someone would do something odd.
Then another person would ask "What are doing?"
The person would reply "It's okay, I had Subways!"
