Alright, time for me to step out... (Weight and Diet)

[Synaesthesia]

Everyone's given you the same response. You're exercising correctly, I can't really give you any tips on that cause I tried getting in shape twice and my laziness overcame me lol. But you seem pretty well motivated. So what I would change now are your eating and sleeping habits. Try to get a good 8 to 10 hours of sleep every day, and go to bed at a decent hour.

Then, just try to follow diets. I'm sure some of the ones posted above will be helpful.

Good luck! I'm sure you can make it.

It's important to not cut out fats completely, but rather try and stick to the right kind of fat. Unsaturated fats (mostly plant fats) are much better for you than saturated fats and they can help counter some of the problems caused by eating too much sat fat. If possible, you might want to try switching out butter for some kind of vegetable oil-based spread.

I have a confession to make, I weight 247 lbs at 5'7'', and I'm 15. I (try) to lift weights every hour (15 reps), run the treadmill for 15 minutes to come up to 3 hrs of exercise per day. I know about calories and carbs and so on, but I WANT DESPERATELY to look good with a six pack and all that by 10th grade.

What can I do to lose weight AND get the shape I want?

At this age, you're gonna trend to being heavier and hungrier. Take it easy on the dieting thing. Eat healthy, keep exercising and you'll be fine. Be realistic about your weight goal, the BMI scale they teach is a load of BS. I know this because many nurses and doctors have told me so.

ok, im not gonna hijack this or anything. but i should just post
I weigh something about 180-210 (havent checked recently), and am 5,4?
Im not as a huge in excercise as him. Last year I walked 2miles everyday (have trouble running) which i think helped allot, but im not in the class anymore, and free time is a 'lazy.
I also was able to get myself to do some situps (crunches, i cant do all the way) and 'girl' push ups (ok im out of shape much?) which i have trouble doing. and deff no pull-up.
I drink a few bottles of water a day, but also 2 pops a day or 1 or none depending on the day. Most of all my family has is junk-food which is troublesome. I have some healthy frozen dinner type stuff which i have been eating. and the least healthiest i think is chef boyandi?
i have 2 'breafest' (sauges and pancake thing) corndogs in the morning
[school lunch, no pizza] then chef boyandi + chips? or ham sandwhich +chips? after school
then a likley frozen diner as mention above
and pretty much all day is on the couch on pc
i want to try to get more and shape and loose weight

Exercising is key for you. Do as much of it as you can if your family is still on the junk food path. Push for more healthier choices whenever possible, but know that dieting is never easy because of this kind of thing. There will be times where the only choice is junk food. If it is, make it a habit to eat only half of what you normally would. This will cut down the impact of those unhealthy meals, and to be honest, half of what you normally eat would provide enough energy for your body anyways. Water is good for you, and so is skim milk, but if neither appeals to you, try tea. I drink a lot of iced tea. The caffeine would definitely help your metabolism increase if you don't have a fast one already. Don't go overboard on the caffeine but it can be useful, especially if you're feeling sluggish. (Things like this help me from snacking too much).

Take it easy on the dieting thing. Eat healthy, keep exercising and you'll be fine. Be realistic about your weight goal, the BMI scale they teach is a load of BS. I know this because many nurses and doctors have told me so.

I really don't care if anyone disagrees with me, but I think that if you do...you'd better be speaking from experience or citing someone qualified to disagree. :p
