I could very easily make many recommendations for you but a little more information would help, this includes your height to better determine what kind of frame we are looking at here, and finally, any disabilities that would prevent you from engaging in a moderate exercise plan, any foods you absolutely can't stand, and finally, how long you want it to take to lose all of this. If you are about 5'6, then you are exactly right that you are about 20-30 lbs over average. Keep in mind, if you are an athletic individual, then weight shouldn't mean anything. Muscle doubles fat in terms of weight. In any event, if you don't have any problems with food dislikes, and no disabilities preventing you from a modest workout, I'll tell you how to lose 20-30 lbs in 2-3 months. It requires extensive dicipline however and it helps if you have a buddy to pair up with. I promise you that if you can get past the first 10 days of my program, it will be quite easy to maintain my program. A lot of what I'm going to tell you won't be popular but I as well as many of my friends are a direct product of this program so give it a shot...\n\nHere's your recipe:\n1. First off, cut your calorie intake! The average American consumes 3000 calories a day! Even the recommended 2000 calories per day is SO much more than the body needs. Take it a step further and ask why on earth do we eat three meals a day? Back in the day when civilization was first getting a move on and we were running around the praire hunting things do you think we ate three meals a day? We were lucky to eat one, or any at all. Cut your calories right now to 1250 per day and COUNT them! The average human needs well under this to maintain body weight so even doing this alone won't provide much results. Try to eat lots of fiber, as this expands in your body and makes you full faster. KASHI cereals with one cup of non-fat milk, a slice of Oroweat Light toast and spray butter is an excellent breakfast. Egg Beaters are also a good choice. They are low in calories, and high in protein. For lunch, try a 5slice deli-cut roasted chicked sandwich plain on that oroweat bread. For dinner, eat as many vegetables as you can get your hands on, and chicken, chicken, chicken. Basically, try to stay under 1250 calories per day, eat foods that are high in protein, high in fiber, low in fat, and low in sodium. For seasonings, use only Garlic Powder or Pepper (not garlic salt), Ketchup, and mustard. Stay away from mayo, salt, and just about anything else (Salt makes your body retain water... fat is about 98% water... Get rid of the salt, lower your water intake, but don't dehydrate yourself). Finally, switch to diet sodas as an easy way to shave off a couple hundred calories per day, and instead of juice, try crystal light... They taste pretty good! Safeway also has a diet carbonated beverage that is pretty good. The diet stuff will taste pretty bad at first but after you get used to it, you'll hate regular soda and you'll shutter at the thought of drinking your fat... I'll tell you, the first 10 days of eating like this will be the toughest. Your body is used to eating a lot more, using half, and making fat with the rest. Its going to be crushed when it has to start burning fat to meat the energy quota for the day. After 10 days though your body will be totally used to it, your stomach will shrink in size, and you will therefore be less hungry.\n2. Excercise doesn't have to be long and difficult. Quite easy in fact. If you dedicate 10 minutes to exercising, 5 days a week, I can GUARANTEE YOU"LL LOSE THE WEIGHT! This of course is assuming you maintain my little diet for you above. Anyway, this is all you have to do, three things... Situps, Run, and if you have stairs or access to a stair stepper, the stepper. Workup to three sets of 30 situps per day, so 90 situps a day, 5 days a week... Run as fast as you can for 3 minutes on a treadmill, twice per da

Well, you're never gonna be scrawny, but I don't think it'd take much to get you in shape. You could lay off the carbs (bread, pasta, etc..) but starvation is DEFINITELY not the answer for you, especially at your age. The less you eat, the more you teach your body to get more nutrition out of less food, and then you have to starve yourself for the rest of your life. \n\nI think exercise would be best. Start with jogging in place, maybe jumping rope, move on to pushups, sit-ups and chin-ups. Jumping rope, for anybody that's capable of it, is a really good exercise. \n\nIf you don't want to get too much attention, try exercising in the basement or garage. Harder to hear feet hitting the floor if the floor's made of concrete, and sometimes you just don't want parents involved in your personal decisions (I have daughter that's 14).\n\nYou may need motivation. You're a guy, right? Take off your shirt and take a picture of yourself. Tape it up on the inside of your bedroom door. That way whoever comes in never sees it, unless they close the door behind them. If you share a bedroom with someone, maybe tape it inside a folder or book, or something.\n\nI'm not a big fan of going to the gym. Too many people looking down their noses at me. Right now I have a job that keeps me in shape, because when I get home I'm just lazy. When I was your age I had a paper route, and was on the swim team.\n\nAnd of course, the thing I say to everybody that's unhappy with their weight:\n\nDon't look at the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat. If you can feel good about yourself when you look in the mirror, you've reached your goal.

If your trying to loose weight your going to screw yourself over in the future. your body will slow its metabilism down so that the one meal that you eat lasts all day. therefore when you start eating the way you need to you'll gain weight really fast. the best thing for you to do is instead of eating 1 meal eat 6 small meals a day. this will speed up your metabolism up and give your bady the energy it needs to burn calories. I tried the whole not eating bit when I was 13 till i was 15. I now have a hole in my stomach and puke up mast of what i eat.

Hey, it's almost New Years. What a great time to make a resolution to lose weight! I wish you the best of luck in it. \n\nYou really have to look at two areas of your life and adjust them to match your goals:\n\n*   Diet\n*   Exercise\n\nYou simply can't get around these two facts. You have to consume fewer calories than you burn each day to loose weight. So if you don't change your diet, then you'll have to exercise more. Frankly, it's easier to adjust both things. Eat less, or eat smarter and exercise moderately. You don't have to go overboard. A 20 minute walk around the block is exercise.\n\nFind someone who can share the goal with you. Another overweight friend who will walk with you. That helps a lot. You can encourage each other.\n\nHere are a few other resources that might be helpful to you:\n\nLose Weight and Gain Muscle -> http://watersaffl.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS\n\nWeight Loss for Dummies -> http://watersaffl.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS\n\nWeight Watchers -> http://www.weightwatchers.com/index.aspx\n\nGood luck! Hopefully this time next year, you'll be a fraction of your former self ;)

Look child.  F that.  Stop trying to be a stick.  You did not gain weight over night and you will not loose it over night.  It will probably take you 3 times and long to loose it as it did to gain it.  I know.  I used to be super skinny, and I an now like a size 14/16.  I would love to loose 40-50 pounds and be a size 8, but I must learn to love myself no matter what weight I am.  I have lost and gained over the years, but I have learned from all success and failure.  You will derail your efforts if you stop eating or start throwing up.  Not only will you loose fat, but you will loose muscle.  You need to build up your muscle first by doing some resistance training so that you will burn more fat while you are at rest.  You may also need to try a diet program like weight watchers or myonlinefooddiary.com.  Remember we gain and loose sometimes because of stress or depression.  You need to heal your inside first before you focus on your outside.  Once you love yourself being big, you will see how many other people love big women too.  Be good, and think about it please.

Expect it to take 2-3 months to loose that much weight.  Be sure that you actually need to loose that much weight by discussing the issue with your physician.  Then find an exercise routine you can stick to and eat a healthy diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables.  Eat low fat meats and fish.  Drink lots of water.\n\nYou'll only loose weight if you burn more calories than you take in.

You're not grossly overweight really are you? And I'm not just saying that to be nice.\n\nIf you loose weight too quickly, you'll only end up putting it all back on & will have to do it all over again! I can understand that you've given yourself a deadline, but why the hell didn't you start dieting months ago, rather than leaving it till the last week???\n\nThe only sure way to loose weight, is to eat healthily - plenty of veg (especially green veg), at lest 5 portions of fruit & a small balance of lean meat, bread & potatoes etc per day. Also, drink at least 4 litres of fluid per day, preferably water. You also need to excercise - swimming is great coz it works your whole body, but any kind of excercise is good for you, providing that you do a minimum of 30 minutes every other day & that it leaves you slightly out of breath afterwards.\n\nYou'll find that you will loose weight faster in the first 2 weeks than the rest of the time that you diet, coz you also loose a fair amount of body fluid aswell at first, so you should go to the toilet a bit more often.

If you are serious about loosing weight, follow these guidelines:\n1. Forget pills and fad diets. They don't work. Even if you loose weight with them you will just gain it back.\n2. Eat healthy, low fat, vegan meals of whole grains, beans, veges, and fruits. \n3. Don't eat dairy products, junk food, fast food, or snack foods. Don't eat anything that is sold in vending machines.\n4. Get lots of aerobic exercise. \n5. Focus on improving your overall health and fitness rather than loosing a particular number of pounds within a particular time frame. Make maintaining overall health and fitness a long term commitment rather than a crash weight loss program. \n6. Set measurable, realistic fitness goals using standard measures of aerobic fitness, such as the cooper test. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_test\n7. Educate yourself. Read "The Aerobics Program for Total Well-Being" by Kenneth Cooper to learn how to create an effective exercise program. Read the "The Mcdougall Program : 12 Days to Dynamic Health," by John Mcdougall to learn about healthy eating..

i would talk to you (and your boys?) gp, and see what the recommend, also try a healthy eating plan, not necessarily a lose weight but regular exercise and activities (say take up a sport) and give them healthier meals with no snacks and added treats.. if they don't like it or are stubborn (i know what 14yr olds are like) i would talk to them and say how it can reduce their lives, give you major problems ect..

Diet and exercise. Skimp on sweets, and keep your body moving. Only eat healthy foods, and do lots of crunches, sit ups, push ups, and go for lots of jogs. You'll loose that weight in no time. Good luck!
