Teh best way to do it is to speed up your etabolisim by eating 6 (yes six) small meals a day....  maing your dinner slightly lrger.  This will make your metabolisim speed up.  It all doesnt  need to b super healthy but on th ehealthy side.  The key is Small meals more often to trick your metabolisi......  Good luck!!!  Its working for me

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).

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.

try taking weights and putting your arm down on a flat surface. then bring your knuckles toward you. do 20 for a week, 30 the next 40 the next, ect ect, but when you get to 100, don't go higher, its bad for you, i dont know why, it just is.

I am in the same boat w/you. If you dont act now, you're going to slowly put more weight on.  I didnt' notice when i went from 120- to 135 at all, so its good at least you're noticing. I acually went from 120- up to 150 and then i noticed it!! Scary.well anyway.. to your question. There is no safest, fastest way. Everything has its consequences. My best advice to you is to eat alot of vegetables and fruits. Eat meat only twice a week *boiled meat* is the best. Dont put it in the oven or grill Boiled meat in my opinion is the best, it will probably taste like crap, but it is the smallest in calories (it has to be lean too). Boiled fish, and stuff. I heard cabbage soup works too. Just cabbage, carrots, you can put lots of spices in it. Try eating it for a couple of days( i don tknow if you can eat it for a week) but if you do, guaranteed 10 pounds loss. I Have tried cabbage soup before it works great. Just make sure its only cabbage, carrots, spices, no potatoes!!! If you eat it for a week, you will loose 10-15 pounds. Tummy weight a lot of sit-ups. and jogging. Good luck!! I know its hard, butyou got to catch the beast early, because it only gets harder when yhou have to loose like 30 pounds and 40 pounds!! Also try to get a gym buddy if you can; i wish i had one!! hehe Good luck again, i hope this helps!

Most Dr. say the avarage should run between 80 to 180 if you are below 80 you get what my family calls weak trembles. (Eat a small spoon of sugar to get it up quick then eat a meal, sandwhich, fruit and veg) If you get above 180 you are too high best thing to do then is to drink lots of water, and take your insulin which your Dr. should have set your amounts at and eat a small orange or something so you don't drop to far. Diabietes is very tricky. My oldest has had it from the time she was 10, she is 22 now. My daughter wants me to add when you are high drink 8 oz glasses of water every 30 min. It also depends on your Dr as what your blood sugars are. Type 1 and Type 2 carry different sugar levels.

Anywhere from 140 to 170 is probably all right, depending on your bone structure and overal fitness level.  130 actually sounds a bit underweight.  For goddess sake, don't judge yourself by the fashion magazines, those models are all bulimic or taking drugs to keep their weight so far below normal healthy levels.  Healthy and confident is beautiful!

Your current weight of 115 pounds is within the healthy body weight range of 101 - 136 pounds for your height of 5 ft 2 in.\n\nHealthy weight range is based on a healthy body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9. The higher weights in each range apply to people with more muscle and bone. Individuals with weights above the healthy weight range may be at higher risk for developing health problems. \nAlways consult your physician for more information regarding your health risks and healthy body weight, weight loss therapy, and weight control programs.

well you should first pay alot of attention to your form, some pointers; run on the balls of your feet, not the heals, the whole way in the 400 ( i never ran the 800 so i cant give you advise there)if you cant do that you nee to work at it. you want your knees high ad arms pumping close to your side( the faster your arms can go the faster your legs can go) you want to barely touch when you run  this will help you decrease friction and keep your legs moving faster. keep your back straight and head up. next you want to focus on training you are a middle distance sprinter so it doesnt make sense to train like a marathoner or cross country runner, sprinters and distance runners physiologicaly utilize different energy systems int the body, (fast gycloysis vs oxidative phosphorilation) so train for the event doing sprints of the time you want to complete the event typicaly for your age maybe 50- 60 seconds and rest for 2-3 minutes ( rest meens light jog or walk never stop bad for your body) and do repititions and sets at these intervals. also some weight training will help you gain speed but at your age you should keep the weight at a comfortable level 12-15 reps 1-2 sets. next eat right ket a well balance of nutrients, carbs, protein and fat, dont skip meals. and get plenty of rest and sleep at night good luck! and talk to your doctor and coach about before you do any of these recomendations

By the summer? You have nothing to worry about. That's more than enough time to get into shape.  You will have to work your ass off but I'm pretty sure you can drop the weight.\n\nFirst off you going to have to eat more!  Yes more!  More frequently that is.  You probably are eating 1 to 2 times a day or better yet you're not eating at all.  This is not going to help you drop the weight. We must get your metabolism to go crazy in order to burn calories all day long. \n\nWhich leads me to the next factor, you must move!  By move I'm not talking about walking around the mall, although any movement is good but I'm talking about lifting weights and performing cardio.  I suggest you start out by working out with weights and performing cardio afterwards 3 times per week and increasing it up to 4-5 times a week after the first 2 weeks.\n\nYou can do it, and you must believe that you can.  There's so many more tips that you can really do to get the results you're looking for.  This is not a shameless plug but I can guarantee you that if you read my blog at http://4evertoned.blogspot.com and also get onto my newsletter you will be on your way to being beach ready and showing off your new figure.\n\nFor the newsletter you can go to http://www.4evertoned.com/newsletter.html\n\nThis is only being offered for free for a limited of time so you must act now.

according to science, yours is. umm, im obsessed with the BMI (body mass index) calculator, which can be found here: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/\nor just googled. i entered your height and weight and you come out on the high end of normal with a BMI of 24.4. the breakdown is like this: \n\n    *  Underweight = <18.5\n    * Normal weight = 18.5-24.9\n    * Overweight = 25-29.9\n    * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater\n\nso you're a normal weight. however, 190 would put you at overweight, so though youre probably lovely, if you wanted to lose a little weight it wouldnt be dangerous, though its also not really necessary. again, according to the BMI calculator, anything under 140 would be unhealthy at your height (i love trial and error and procrastination). play around with it i guess, it'll give you some good info and you can waste time if youre a nerd like me. \n\nxoxo

I believe you're fine, ur just not made to be pole thin that's all...if you feel self conscience about ur weight, exercise 3-4 times a week!!! You could also try looking up weight charts!

First of all, get your thyroid hormone replaced - follow up with your doctor to make sure that hormone levels are where they should be. After that, it really is just about diet and exercise. Keep track of the calories (your doctor should tell you what your daily caloric intake requirement is - try not to exceed that limit), and then get out and MOVE! Try jogging on the treadmill - if that's too hard on the knees, try an eliptical. Make lifestyle adjustments. Try walking or biking places instead of using the car. Make your weekend activities physical, such as going on a hike or a bike trip with some friends. Take a fun aerobics class that has 'good energy' that you like - there are lots of varieties ranging form kickboxing, to spinning, to step aerobics, to African dance. Try to get something athletic in 5-6 days a week - somethign that you wouldn't 'normally' do. Don't expect all the weight to come off immediately - try to make these changes, adn over the next couple months you should notice a difference.

What do you weigh at the moment? At 5ft6 and 13, you shouldn't really weigh more than about 140lb-145lb, but as your goal has to be realistic, aim to be at least 155lb. Good luck : )

The ideal weight for your height is between 114 to 135. Sounds like your a little underweight. I wish I had that problem lol..
