Hey Dale Im in the same predicament I am 260 and Im only 5'8 so I need to loose about 120 pounds.  Now tomorrow I am going to begin with my diet which includes counting calories under 1200 a day but you just need to make sure you eat three healthy meals a day and dont waste them with stupid stuff like sweets or eating fast food. I dont know how much exercise you get a week but try to get some walking, jogging and if possible about 15 minutes of aerobics every other day.  Its good that you quit the soda now make sure drinking lots of water....Good luck maybe we can motivate each other Richtorres_2000 IM

1. exercise\n2. eat healthy foods stay away from fast food or fried foods\n3. starting at 8am to 6pm eat something the size of a deck of cards... which is about half a cup.  that gets ur metabolism going.  example\n\n~ 8am small apple and a glass of water\n~ 10am 1/2 cup of carrots and a glass of water\n~ 12pm half a sandwhich with a glass of water\n~ 2-230pm 1/2 a cup of cucumber with a glass of water\n~ 6pm small dinner nothing fried baked steamed or boiled only...baked salmon with steamed veggies (both of these servings should be no bigger than ur fist.  \n\nThis is really hard to do but its only for 2 wks and its to shrink you stomache so that when u go back to regular eating you wont be eating as much... it WORKS!!! \n~

actually, you should be around 90-100 i would say because you are so short. i have a friend whos your height and shes about 85-90 i think. as long as your healthy, your at a perfect weight. you probably have a small frame size too. dont try and get to 114, you dont need to. your goal should be around 100-105. start weight lifting or working out; load up on protein and carbs. count your calories and make sure you eat more than you burn-this will make you gain weight. after you gain the weight and you think you want to tone up, start swimming. i know i say this to like every answer but swimming is so good for exercise. it tones your whole body with faster results than running and there is no pressure on your joints.\nim sort of in your same situation. im 5'5" and only 100 or so and im trying to gain healthy (like, pure muscle) weight. my goal is 105. \ngood luck!=]

how tall are you?  should you weigh 160-170lbs?  That's alot of weight to lose in less than 2 months.  You better go on a very strict diet, no more than 500cal/day, drink loads of water, and do cardio work out for a minimum of 4 hours a day, you have to burn that flab off if you want to lose that much that fast.  Do a couple hours of light weights too.  You will have to burn about 4 times your daily intake, at least.

you should always eat, especially if you're expending that much energy.  if you're really doing fairly intense workouts (breaking a sweat, needing to catch your breath) 3 or 4 times a day, which you probably shouldn't, you're going to need around 3000-3500 calories a day.  possibly more.  i don't know how old you are, but if you have summer vacation i assume you are 18 or under, in which case you are still growing and need to eat even more.  if you exercise that much, you'll lose fat, but you might gain muscle, which weighs more.  don't be alarmed if the scale stays about the same, but you look better.\nso keep eating, keep exercising (although maybe not that much) and don't overdo anything.  use your good judgment.

The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

cut out all breads and starchy foods like pasta and rice.  Cut down or out on your sugars as well.  Those turn to fat faster than anything else.  Eat high protein meals like fish, chicken, vegatables, etc.  Eat 5 to 6 times a day, small meals.  Salad with a can of tuna, no mayonaise, just tuna on bed of lettuce with carrots and a light oil and vinager dressing.  Do not eat past 7:00pm.  Breakfast should consist of oatmeal, bran cerial, etc.  Excersize ever day.  If it's dancing, or walking/running, riding a bike.  You simply have to get your metabolizm up and burn more calories than you take in.  Cut out sodas.  Drink plenty of water.  8 or more large glasses a day.  Water flushes system.  \nThe best excersize for loosing the tummy is leg lifts.  If you can do one, you can do two.  Hang from a bar, hard if you don't have a machine, but you need a bar that is over your head and will support your weight.  Hang from it, then simply lift your legs, bending knees and try to touch your chest with your knees.  This works the abdomen, lower back, and sides.  The "spare tire".  Crunches help but don't work out all the muscles.  The diet it the big thing.  More meals, less quantity in each meal, makes your body get used to eating often so it digests food faster.  High protein diets and low fat are the key.

You shouldn't.  That's too much weight to lose in a week. (depending on your weight of course, because if you're 120lbs and lose 20, you'll be a "anorexic" at 100)\n\nBut, a good diet of fiber, water, and exercise should speed things up.  So each a lot of fruits and whole wheat bread, drink the 8 glasses of water, walk a lot, and remember to have some proteins here and there (chicken for dinner).

Limit your daily caloric intake to about 1200, scattered across 5-6 small meals per day.  Then, every day, go out walking.  Walk at a brisk, "hurried" pace, for at least 30 minutes.  This combination should help you drop 4 pounds in 5 days.  BUT, this is NOT a healthy "long term" diet plan.  It will be OK to do this every once in awhile, for a quick fix, but you will need to revert back to a normal eating plan afterward.  Of course, if you want to keep up the walking routine, that would be fine!

Yo kid, don't listen to these guys.  You are only 13 years old, you are one active summer away from being ripped, trust me.  Just get active, you don't need to diet, you need to start eating more.  If you start eating good stuff all day, fruit, veggies, tuna, egg whites, oatmeal, stuff like that, and start moving around a lot more you will be amazed.  Go hiking, explore around try to walk 5 miles, then increase from there, you will love it.  One time I walked 8 miles, then the next time I walked 12, then the next time I walked 19, just for fun, I got some of my family involved we had a blast.  During the 19 mile walk alone I lost 5 lbs.  During the walk I drank 4 gallons of water, it was awesome.  Always drink lots of water.  Remember it takes a long time to get fat, and it take an equally long time to lose the weight, there is NO SUCH THING AS A FAST WAY TO DO IT.  Take my advice Please, do not diet, just get active.

I am 5'3 and weigh 110 pounds :\n\n*I don't eat fast food more than twice a week\n*I do little things throughout the day (arm circles while brushing teeth, walk fast to class, etc)\n*I try to burn at least 200 calories on a treadmill 3-5 times a week\n*Eat larger meals at lunch, rather than dinner, because it will burn off more\n*I do not eat dinner after 7PM\n*I only drink Diet Cokes/Diet Pepsi, and I do drink Milk\n\nI eat South Beach Diet peanut butter cookies for breakfast with red powerade. It's actually good, and healthy!\n\nAlso, if you have a sweet tooth, a good way to satisfy it is by toasting wheat sandwich bread, spread margarine on it, and top it with cinnamon. It's good, and not bad for you!\n\nHope this helps!!

Hey, we are on the same page. I'm 5'3'' and I weigh 125. I used to weigh 107...so I need to lose 18 pounds. I know this sounds crazy.....but I lose weight by eating one meal a day. I'll snack on fruits and veggies only. Limit your calorie intake. Your body burns about 10 times your weight. So right now, your burn about 1,140 calories in a day. There are 3000 calories in a pound. Slowly cut back your intake. I lost 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months doing this. Try eating about 500 calories a day. then youll burn about 600 calories a day + whatever excercise you do. But always snack on healthy foods throughout the day or else your metabolism with slow. NO SODAS.FRIES.CANDY! limit your bread and pasta/rice intake as well.

You DONT want to loose weight fast. In most cases, you will gain the weight back even faster, and maybe even gain MOOREE. \n\nYou can set yourself up with an excersize plan. Well.... just start running (even if just in place in your room) for as long as you can. And when I say that, I dont mean until you drop down, near dead. Start at a steady pace, and just go... nice and slow, and get gradually faster. If you're a swimmer-- what better? Jump rope, hula hoop (20 or more minutes or else its kinda not really helpful yeah...) Aerobics, stretching, DDR... there's more.  \n\nDONT STARVE YOURSELF!!!!!\ndo you know what that does to your insides??? Its gross--- im talking eating yourself inside out... until you get to your heart and then-- well.... if it cant beat... you're gonna die. \nalso: fainting, feelings of remorse, constant fatigue.... tiredness. A model just died of anorexia... it was all over the news.\nDont throw your food up either... eeww! and it doesnt work, plus, it tears up your asophogous. \n\nInstead, go on a diet, and NO, not an extreme one. Just go for some low calories- breakfast cereal diets are proven to be good for you aswell as help you loose weight fast... and you dont have to eat it for dinner, plus you can shake it up a little and eat different cereals. :) Salad is always a good choice, aswell as fruit. \nKeep in mind the amount of calories you need to live... alot of times REALLY low calorie diets can cause you to gain more weight because your metabolism goes into "survival mode" and tries to save the calories, and turns them into fat. which is what we DONT want, right?? Going under 1,000 calories per day means trouble. Stick in the 1,500 range(even a bit higher is ok) , plus good, healthy, not compulsive, excersize will get you loosing weight, improving your endurance... and whatever other crap you want. :) \n\nif you need more info, there are books at the library that will guide you through this so you dont have to talk to a doctor (eesh... that could be embarrasing). BUT MAKE SURE THE SOURCE IS PROFFESIONAL!!!! \n\nI hope this helps, and that you decide not to starve yourself. You sound like a nice girl, i want you to make it, ok?\n\nand dont listen to jeeper's creepers!!!!!

Well, the really important thing is being healthy.  At 5'3", 120 is probably a fairly healthy weight.  I would definitely say less than 110 would be too thin.\n\nIn general, one pound per week is considered a healthy amount to be losing.  More than that, and you're either just shedding water weight, or you're putting your body in a position where it thinks you're starving...It will then start storing everything, and you'll end up gaining weight.\n\nIf you really want to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in.  If you're already exercising, there are essentially two options.  One is to exercise more.  The other is to eat fewer calories.\n\nVegetables are very low in calories...eat lots of them.  Also, drink lots of water as this will not only make you feel full, but also help your body to process everything better.  You'll need protein, too...chicken is a good option, as it has less fat than beef, in general.  You might also consider tofu, since this is really high in protein, and very low in calories.  \n\nPlease be very careful with how much you lose...You're very young still, and your body needs lots of nutrients in order to finish developing.\n\nCheck out the websites below...These may help give you a little perspective to understand where your "ideal" weight should be.
