Please dont make the mistake I made. When I was a kid, I tried all kinds of crazy diets. What you lose is only temporary but the what you really lose is your metabolism.\n\nWhat I mean is this. Drastic diets SLOW DOWN your motablism. Believe it or not, you need to EAT to lose weight!\n\nYou need to eat healthy foods in moderate quatities and excersize.\n\nI know that sounds boring but believe me, it will work and it will last forever if you do it that way.\n\nPlease ask your parents to take you to your doctor and he will tell you exactly how many calories you should be eating. Ask him if he would reccomend Weight Watchers for you, its a great program and I promise you you will be very happy.\n\nLearn from somebody that has been there...\n\nGood luck

You don't, at least not in a healthy manner. The reccommendation is to loose 1-2 pounds a week to sustain the weight loss and remain healthy.

I know for myself, I am in the same situation... I want to lose weight, but I want to do it safely. What I have been doing:\n\nExercising at least 5-6 days a week. Make sure to incorporate both cardiovascular and weight training. The more you walk, bike, etc... the faster you will be able to trim down. \n\nEating better.. focus on vegetables and whole grain or wheat. Also make sure that you eat regularly but while doing that, watch your portion sizes. Eat slower so that your body and mind have time to catch up with one another. All too often we eat too quickly and then we overeat. \n\nDrink lots of water... with the water thing, I drink water based on my body weight to best maximize my metabolism. You can do this by taking your current weight and dividing it in half... this is the total ounces of water you should have in a day.

There is no good way to lose weight fast.  If your trying to lose you should shoot for 1 to 2 pounds a week.  Cardiovascular exercise, a disciplined diet, and a weight training routine are the way to go.  To keep it off you just have to maintain your exercise routine and eat sensibly.  \n\nTheir is no magic diet or woder pill, you just have to change your lifestyle.  If you are really serious about this you can do it.\n\nDon't even think about an eating disorder.  It does way more harm then good.

You can also lose one pound a week\n\n\n\nThe majority of fitness professionals advise slow weight loss as the safest and most helpful approach. A sensible weight-loss program allows you to lose weight slowly -- about one-half to one pound per week. Slow weight loss promotes long-term loss of body fat, not just water weight that can be rapidly regained.\n\nMost people need around 15 calories per pound to maintain their weight. A person of 150 pound would not eat food that contains calories more than 2250 per day in order to maintain his/her weight.\n\nIn order to burn one pound, a person need to burn 3500 calories more than they are used. For example, dropping calories by 300 per day and increasing daily movement to burn off an extra 200 calories should result in a weight loss of one pound a week.

im not sure how "quickly" you mean. but if you are a male, eating about 1750 calories each day and adding exercise is a great way to lose lbs.\n\nfor breakfast eat things like eggs with yogurt and fruit or oatmeal, lunch can be a tuna sandwhich or ham and cheese on wheat bread..or a salad with chicke on top... dinner can be steak chicken or fish with a couple of veggies and a potato..and snacks can be nuts, energy bars, fruit, beef jerky, etc.\n\nIf you dont exercise at all...begin with 45 minutes of light cardio like walking or biking.  then bump it up to jogging and walking. \n\nmost people can easily lose 2 lbs a week on a normal diet but i have seen people lose 5 a week on this type of diet.  The most important parts are eating HEALTHY food (you can have as much fruit and veggies as you can eat!) and trying to exercise atleast 4 days a week.\n\ngoodluck!

At your age I would not recommend it as you are still growing. Aim to lose it in more like 5 months. That's 2lbs a week - a good, safe rate at which to lose weight. \n\nWhat's the rush anyway?

no, there are no healthy ways to lose weight quickly ad maintain weightloss. All of those fad diets are not based on evidenced based science. They are based on a billion dollar dieting industry. Healthy weight loss should be 1-2 pounds a week. I would suggest doing something sensible like weight watchers, not the low carb diets.

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).

Though there are many ways to lose weight quckly but none of them are healthy, There is n such thing as instant weight loss and u shud not go in for that. By controlling the intake of calories and regular exercise you can do this in 30-45 days

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.

there is no such thing as healthy FAST weight loss.  1-2 pounds per week is all your body can handle.  Unless you are extremely obese which I  doubt.  Healthy diet and daily exercises is the only real way to loose weight.  To keep weight off it takes a life style change.  Being over weight didn't come over night and it takes the constant effort and hard work to not get back in that spot once you get it off.  A sad fact, once you get a fat cell you can never get rid of it.  You can shrink it down to nothing but its still there and when you eat bad that fat cell is trying to grow so it will attack any excess fat you take in.  good luck and don't ever buy in to any quick weight loss schemes.  they hurt your body and actually cause a negative effect in weight loss.

You can't follow BMI 100%, it doesn't account for body type.  It is a good general indicator though.\n\nYou are 13 and 135lbs and 5'.  Don't go too crazy, you are still growing.\n\nYou can't lose 5-10lbs a day, don't bother trying.  If you are serious about losing weight, do your research.\n\n1.  Don't replace 1 soda a day, replace all sodas everyday (if you drink a lot of soda, cutting it out can make a huge difference right away).  Drink about a gallon of water daily (it is also a mild appetite suppresant=help you eat less)\n2.  Exercise 30 min to 1hr 4-5x a week.  Cardio (running, elliptical machine, stair machine, bike, etc).  Join a sports team or sign up for some activity like karate.\n3.  Can't just eat Lean Cuisine's and Lean Pockets.  Changing a diet is basically a lifestyle change.  Eat things like grilled chicken, veggies, etc. Don't eat junk food, no fast food (if you eat a lot of fast food, cutting that out of your diet will make a huge difference immediately)\n4.  Depends on the person, but cutting out sodas and fast food can cut down your daily caloric intake big time also.\n\n\nUse the internet!  Do your research!!  Read health forums online! \n\nGood luck!

I'm losing weight using www.sparkpeople.com. Its a very realistic goal if you want to lose 1-2 pounds per week AND ITS FREE! For me that was the most important.\n\nAlternatively you can figure out your basal metabolic rate (what your body requires you to function each day ie: breathing, blood circulation, cell function etc) and reduce your calories with diet and burn calories through exercises. \nAn example:\nIf your basal metabolic rate (you can estimate it by multiplying your weight x 10) is weight 160pounds x 10 = 1600 calories per day required to keep you alive and functioning. now this amount is if you do absolutely nothing all day. \nIf you were moderatly active you'd need 13440 calories a week or 1920 calories a day.\n\nwith 7000 calorie reduction = two pounds of of fat loss\nSo reduce the calories by 1000 a day you come up with:\n\n500 calories a day you can reduce foodwise = meaning eat 1420 calories a day\n\nand 500 calories a day through exercise = cardio vascular (biking, hiking,walking etc). you can find out how much a particular activity burns here: www.caloriesperhour.com (you can also get your basal metabolic rate)\n\nAdvice: add strength training at least 2 days a week. NO matter how healthy your diet is you will still lose muscle, water and fat with weightloss. Muscle burns fat. The less muscle you have, the less fat your body burns! \nMeasure weightloss in inches as well as actual weight, since 1lb of fat and 1lb of muscle will look VERY different even if they weigh the same (muscle is more compact and fat is fluffier).\n\n\nI wish you the best of luck and hope this was helpful.

There really isn't a way to lose weight fast.  You want to lose fat, really, and your body cannot burn more than two pounds of fat per week.  If you lose weight faster than that it's either water weight (at the beginning of a diet) or muscle mass.  \n\nHere are some tips:\n\n1.  Walking is the best way to lose belly fat.  Buy a pedometer (about $5 at Wal-Mart for a cheap one) and count your steps.  Try to increase 1000 steps per day until you go over 10,000.  \n\n2.  Do some strength training, such as lifting weights.  This will help develop muscles.  A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat (and is about half the size).  You will burn more calories even when you are asleep.\n\n3.  At 230 lbs, your body requires about 2300 calories per day to maintain that weight.  You do not want to cut out too many calories, because your body will catabolize muscle before it will catabolize fat.  You don't want to destroy your muscles.  \n\nTry to cut about 500 calories per day from your diet.  Get a kitchen scale and really measure portions.  You'd be surprised how little a cup is, and how large your portion sizes are.  At that intake, you will lose about a pound a week just from your reduced calorie intake.  If you exercise, you will increase that.\n\n4.  Figure out what kind of an eater you are.  Some people can do portion control.  They can figure out what a 100-calorie portion of chocolate cake is and eat that, or eat 1/4 of a pint of reduced fat frozen yogurt.  I'm not one of those.  If I open the bag of M&M's, I will eat the bag of M&M's, whether it's a tiny little handful or a 1-lb bag.  I have learned that I have to eliminate foods that are unhealthy for me.  I can't buy chips, because I WILL open them, and then I WILL eat the whole bag.  Work with your eating patterns.  If you can pour out 1-oz of chips and eat them, indulge once a week.  If you can't, you're better off not buying the chips.\n\n5.  Focus your diet on whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean meats or fish, if you like them.  Fruit and veggies are your best friends.  \n\n6.  Drink at least two litres of water per day, and aim for four.  Your body stores fat as fatty acids.  In order to burn fat, it has to hang three fatty acid molecules onto a water molecule.  Without water, you can't lose weight.  Also, water fills you up.  Water can be flavored with sugar free drink mixes or sugar-free tea.  \n\n7.  Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.  That's when your body is dealing with the fat.  You can't lose weight if you don't sleep enough.\n\n8.  Educate yourself.  I highly recommend Susan Powter (her Stop the Insanity set is out of print but is sometimes available on eBay), Dean Ornish, Covert Bailey, and Pritikin.  Pritikin and Ornish are a little severe, but they are dealing with people who have serious coronary problems.  \n\n9.  Get support.  Consider joining a gym and finding a personal trainer.  Sometimes you can join a trainer's group and pay a lot less.  Weight Watchers is pretty good, but I'm a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it's helped a lot.  \n\n10.  DON'T GIVE UP.  If you "cheat" or skip a day of exercise, it's not the end of the world.  It's a minor set back, and if you stick to your diet/exercise plan for a year, no one will notice one chocolate bar or one day spent vegging on the couch.  It's the chocolate bar every day or the vegging every day that kills you.\n\nI'm dieting, too.  I've lost 15 pounds and one dress size in the last two months.  If you'd like to contact me, please do.

I don't know if you can lose that much weight in that short of time, but I really don't think its healthy if you do.  I would expect 60-90 lbs.  Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking  if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  Don’t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work from there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me, but start with these steps, once you get your endurance up you can do more with speed.

Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help.  Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC.  There are many, many helpful facts on there.

It's not like you're fat... You're in a healthy weight range. My advice: don't worry about it. You look good. You're 25 years old, too; you're not a girl. You're a woman. 13 Kilograms is a lot of weight to lose. You're petite as it is. Practice yoga if you want an ayurvedic approach.
