wow... i cant seem to think 325 is heredity for a 14 year old... theres no way... i lost 8 pounds a week walking for like 20 minutes a day... now i walk 60 minutes every day of the week... Only eat fruit and vegitables it really works... dont eat anything else.. like if you cant do that... eat in proportion... serving sizes... have well rounded meals 3 times a day,
heres what helped me..
NO SUGER CERIAL!!!
Fruit/Vegitables ALOT OF THEM
WATER drink water when you are hungry it fills you up.
walk 20 minutes a day... dont sit inside.... stay outside! walk in the morning and night so its not too hot. dont eat anything after 6 P.M. thats when ur body slows down and you cant burn fat or calories... walk before you goto bed.....

You can eat only 1000 calories a day, but it's not healthy if you do it for more than a week. A good way to figure out how many calories you body needs is to take your weight, multiply by 10, then add your weight. (325*10=3,250+325=3,575) So I would recommend keeping track of everything you eat, see how many calories you normally consume, and go from there. I also suggest that you start exercising. I run in my room every other night for 10 minutes in place and it really helps me jump start my metabolism. I lost about 30 pounds by eating about 1500 calories a day for 4 months ( I was 175, and I'm 148 now and I'm 5'1"), I hope this helps you too.

My favorite thing is if I am having a sweets crazing instead of eating that chocolate, Buy a can of marshcino cherries. There only 10 cal per cheerry and fat free and taste great!
