just eat less then you do- change your eating habits slight ly- only drink water and eat way more veggies and way less junk food and less carbs. you can do things that'll shave off pounds without making it complicated. also up your exersize- do a lot of cardio and a few days of weight lifting with free weights(which are really cheap- i got two 5lb ones at tj max for 10 dollars)you might want to invest on a fun cardio work out tape such as taebo because it's worth it and doesn't cost that much. also- drink 3 cups of green tae a day and as much water as you can and have at least 4 servings of veggies. good luck!cut back on those calories!

I know it is really hard to get into a routine because i just started a routine about 2 months ago. My family started to workout every morning, not a hard workout but a little one, about 20 minutes long. Just walk or something. Then once you get in that routine start cutting back on some foods. Something that I cut out was soft drinks. I cut out all sugary drinks. It was really hard for a week or so then it started getting easy. A good place to workout would be a gym or something, because if your just at home by yourself than you probably won't feel as motivated as you would if you were at a gym, because there are people around. I've been doing this for about 2 months and have lost about 15 pounds so far. It takes time but when you get into the habit of doing this than it will be a whole lot easier.

No you cant lose that much weight in one month sorry. But you can do it in a couple months. The healthiest amount of weight to lose a month is 10 pounds it takes time. But if you lose weight fast you will gain it back fast. This is what you should do for diet do what my friend did she cut out all snacks and sugar all she ate were 3 healthy meals a day. And she lost 20 pounds in one summer. But to lose weight a little faster add 30 minutes exercise 5 days a week. Do what you like to do bike ride, walk, swim etc. Don't wrry you will see major results in 3 months.

This is what you should do. Cut way down on fried food and sugar. Drink more water. And exercise 30 minutes a day. Do what you like to do bike ride, walk, swim, etc. You will see results and I hope this helps.

Well I would have to know how much you want to loose! but all I can say is i lost weight by playing sports and walking but mostly running and you can always get a friend to do the same with you! I weigh 105 now but remember i never use to weigh that much i will tell u this it's hard work but it pays off all u have to do i work at it! you can do it. i would also say do eat much for lunch and supper eat but not a whole lot like cut what u normally eat in half that will also help and watch the fatty foods you eat cuz that doesn't help when your trying to loose weight!if u work hard it will pay off! but u just have to try it out don't go on a diet it doesn't work just lots of nutrition an working out works don't exspect a big change right away it will come over time but trust me u should see changes within a mounth that is if u work out every day.

weight loss is a long process...You will be able to do it, the healthy amount of weight to loose / week is 2-3 ponds. The healthier you are about it the longer it will stay off. You have to remebr that loosing weight is a life style change, not an easy fix! Be good to yourself, count calories, exercise (even if its just walking around your neighborhood a few times or getting an exercise tape and do it in your room) once you start loosing weight you wont want to stop, make it fun. Set a goal and when you get down to it treat yourself but not with food! for example like when you loose 20 pounds take yourself out to a movie...ect. If you do it healthy and watch your caloric intake and exercise daily you will see a drastic decrease in weight and an increase in self-esteem! Keep at it! It is tought but in the end it is all worth it! Good luck!

ok your not real7y fat atall but if you do want to loose weight try drinking water in stead of eating chocolate and eat meals slowly and you get full loads quicker and stop eating when you are full never try to get that little bit in and do about 20-100 sit ups every day and walk to school or grab some friends to go for a bike ride it worked for me i went to 120lb to 110lb by doing the things i jst told you i hope it helps good luck :+)

i was 170 and 5'5" when i started losing weight now i'm 153. what you need to do it first take control of your diet. know how many calories you're consuming and eat 1500 a day(so that you can stick to it- you can cut down more later) make healthy eating habits such as only drink water for drinks and eat more servings of veggetables daily. also- cut down on mayo- butter- stuff like that. when your diet is something that you can stick to start adding in exersize to your plan. and it's ok to cheat every now and then but once you've cheated get straight back on it. good luck!

well i think that you should run or walk 30 mins. a day, or just go for a bike ride. if you have a pet, even playing with it helps, even if you have a hamster! eat no fats, and no cookies, chips or sugar... have lots of pineapple, grapefruit and oranges, they help.. that's what i'm doing!

maybe some of the foods you're eating have more calories then you think- or maybe you're not following the serving size which is important. then again like you said it's probably not your eating. you should exersize regularly everyday and you'll be able to feel the difference after a while. becasue for me i exersized to lose weight(i'm still doing that) but now it's fun to exersize and i'm exersizing to become really fit. drink a lot of water like everyone says and eat more high fiber foods because what it does it it clings to certain things(depending on what type of fiber it is) and is unable to be digested so it moves slowly through your body and keeps you full and brings other bad stuff out of your body with it. certain fiber is good becasue it gets rid of cholesteral. good luck!

Ok, first of all, not eating breakfast and lunch is very unhealthy. VERY unheralthy. You should have a godd breakfast. My bud, who is almost the same stats as u, eats watermelon for breakfsat, which supposedly fills her up. She looks really Good. I think she is 5'6 and 155 ish. I dont really like watermelon, so i have a glass of water, and a nutra grain bar, or special K cereal. Special K works well. for Lunch, I have a sandwich ( usually tuna or PBJ ), bottled water, and either asmall bag of pretzels, or carrots. both fill u up well. When I get home from skool, i always have a craving for sweets, but I either do my hw to take up time until dinner, or watch tv/go on the net and chat with buds. It takes up a lot of time, and makes me forget about my carvings for food. I then have dinner (try to eat 1 serving, but u can have more if ur hungry :-) ) and finish up my hw. Exercise is goood!...
