Having that much weight to lose can seem overwhelming.  Instead of focusing on the total weight loss you need, set short goals.  For example, you might set your 1st goal at 225 pounds.  (Even losing that weight will make you look better and give you more energy).  \n\nDon't do anything dangerous or fall into the quick weight loss trap (it never lasts).  Don't starve yourself either.  The fast foods must go!!!!  Unless you can really go to McDonalds and only get a salad.  Don't stress on counting calories.  Eat healthful foods--fruits, vegetables, protein (meat)-- and stop when you get full.  Instead of chips, eat a pickle.  Replace ice cream with yogurt.  Each smart choice will eventually pay off.  Limit the sweets and be careful how your food is prepared. If you must drink sodas, make you're they're diet.\n\nOf course, exercise is key.  If it's difficult, then start out walking.  If you walk slower, it's okay.  You'll just have to walk for a longer period of time.  Each week focus on walking faster and longer.  \n\nFinally, YOU MUST DRINK YOU WATER (at least 8 8oz glasses per day). \n\nYahoo groups has many support groups for people trying to lose weight.  Good luck and don't get discouraged.

eat only breakfast lunch dinner with no fat above 7-9 grams of fat no snacks unless its like a carbo -bar or something healthy....excercise at least 30 min a day (daily, or try to every other day) and it will help u sleep at night too um..... srry to say but no soda, fast food, top ramen eat salads for lunch and a strong breakfast u can cut down on the dinner though. when u excercise u can run around the block or join like 24 hour fitness...or go to a yoga class....once u start dieting try keeping it forever and once you feel u have the perfect body juss give urself breaks to go out and eat , drink , and partie i hope this helps =]

Take this from a woman that went from 300 pounds to 167 in under a year from pregnancy and classic overeating...it's hard work!\n\nPut on a tiny bikini once a week. and measure yourself. As you go down in weight and inches it will start to look better and better. The better you feel the less stress you have the easier it is to eat right and work out.\n\nAbout running... don't like it don't do it. It's not worth it if you aren't going to do it for a Legnth of time. Simply get a good friend and go for a fast walk for about 1.5 hours... yea I'm serious but the time will fly by and the pounds will melt off. It's not about the distance it's about keeping your cardio up and doing it for a good length of time. Maybe you can start running a little here and there to tone up your legs but it isn't your only option.\n\nKeep a journal of what you eat and when,  when you notice you aren't losing it as fast as you were look back on your journal and see why. Maybe you aren't being as strict as you should be. Think about your journal as though everything you eat will be seen by it and will broadcast around the world for everyone to see. It will help you not eat everything you can. Be sure to write it down though that is key! You will hit plateaus, it happens then you have to either cut back or work out more.\n\nAdd muscle training. It can be as easy as a butt workout on the treadmill or a bunch of push ups and sit ups. Be it in the weight room or on the couch work your muscles. This will burn some calories and help you tone up.\n\nEat what your body needs first! Lots of protien and steamed veggies. Stick to fresh fruit and wheat rice. Make it look pretty and you won't have to dread it quite so much. Treat yourself every once in a while to a little low cal ice cream or a mousse which is also a low cal dessert. \n\ni hope this helps a little bit. Good luck!

If you're really out of shape, start with brisk walks.  As you build up endurance you can move on to more fun exercise.  Try joining a school or recreational football team.  You'll get exercise and your size will be valued there for defense.  Swimming is also great because the water makes your body not as heavy while exercising.  Also try weight lifting.  As your muscles get stronger, they'll burn more fat.  As far as food goes, try to eat fruit for desert instead of a real desert.  I'm sure it'll suck at first, but you'll get used to it.  Also, try to convince your family to be more healthy so junk foods aren't in the house tempting you.  If you're trying to be healthy, but your mom's cooking lasagna, you're screwed!  A lot of Mexican foods can be tasty but low in fat.  Just use low fat cheese and skip the sour cream.  You could try something like ediets.com if you're able to cook your own meals.  They'll put together a plan specific for your situation.  Also, if the rest of the fam is pigging out, try having a stock of Lean Cuisine meals.  They've really stepped it up.  They're quite tasty.  If all else fails, see a doctor, there may be a fixable, medical reason why you are overweight.  Good luck!

Wow... you have a fantastic body... but a little concerned that you think you might be fat. We don't want you to end up with some sort of eating disorder after all.\n\nThe most important thing is that you're happy and healthy. (although you do look awesome)

Your body will never be as beautiful as you want it to be...no one's ever is!  If you get a good exercise program, you can tone up and some gyms can offer a personal trainer to help you.  As you age, your body changes its shape whether you like it or not. Stop looking at all the magazines in the check out counter, they are not realistic.  Look at the people around you that are your age.  Don't ruin your body by being bulimic, it's not worth it.  Enjoy yourself.  Do you have a support group you can join? That could be great help for you.  I am a Nurse Practitioner in Family Practice, and this is the advice I give a lot of the gals that are struggling for the "hour glass" figure! Find a BMI chart and strive for a healthy BMI of about 22-24. (BMI is calculated by dividing height in inches by weight in pounds by weight in pounds X 703, which is why you're better off with a chart.)

I have the same problem...I am almost the same height and weight as you. Just eat healthy and try to have a snack whenever you think of it...something with protein is good. Nuts are good to snack on. Or, apples with peanut butter. I like to buy yogurt drinks since they're good for when you're on the run. But, it's very tough to gain weight if you have a fast metabolism....try not to worry that much about it. You are how you are. Being healthy is the most important thing.

Get fat. That's what I'm going through now. If it hurts enough, you'll do it. \n\n1. Find what motivates you to do other stuff. Is it fear? Is it appreciation from other people? Helping people? What excites you? \n\n2. Use that and put it into working out at the gym. \n\n3. You can also go to the gym with a friend and have that person bug you about going. \n\n4. Get your friends or siblings to remind you how fat you are.

Give it some time. You seen to be doing everything good. (Weight lifting will add weight, the good kind). It could be that your body still hasnt matured enough to burn off the child fat. Start a cardio program, runing is wonderful, do some situps etc. I think a cardio program would be your best bet. Talk to your parents (the horror!) they will understand and maybe talk to a doctor and a personal trainer. ps. yes you were right about the cow thing.

Hey girl, I'm in a similar situation (5'7", 150-160 lbs, 22 years old).  I'm definitely not fat, in fact I've been told that I'm very thin.  My problem is my thighs are big because I've been a softball catcher for 6 years.  Plus, big butts and boobs run in my family.  Trust me, 120 pounds is too thin.  I know this is so cliche, but muscle weighs more than fat.  I was 130 at one point and I looked like I was anorexic.  Just do exercise that you enjoy.  I currently do Yoga Booty Ballet, which targets the butt and abs.  It's pretty fun too, especially the YBB Live workouts.  The internet address is below.

ok, other than telling you your fat, which de-moivates you, great answers from all others, ... try to put a great cd in that you like to listen to and put the dvd in and play them together. just work out to the beat! I got a cardio workout dvd, and planning on doing that . \n\nps, by the way, i am fat so don't worry, keep working on toning up! i hope to be no where near fat sometime!
