I am an overweight adult, and let me tell you one very important thing.  There are NO such things as fast and easy ways to lose weight.  You have to work hard at it, and it is a constant struggle.  Try cutting out all sodas that are not diet, cut down or eliminate sweets, and eat reasonable portions. Increase your activity level.  These things are the only healthy way to lose weight.  Pills and fad diets don't work. I do hear that Weight Watchers is very highly recommended by many physicians, although I have not tried it yet. Good luck!

Depends if you want to keep the weight off!! Fad diets are good for losing weight fast, but they are short-term solutions to a long-term problem. The only way to lose weight and keep it off is by making lifestyle changes. I'm a member of www.sparkpeople.com (a free weight-loss program), which specialises in just that.\n\nGood luck

It's really not healthy to lose a lot of pounds quickly.  Your best bet to lose weight & keep it off is to lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.  Doing regular aerobic exercise and weight training along with eating a sensible low fat (lots of fruits & vegetables) diet will get you on your way.  You can get free workout plans and diet info at about.com in the fitness section and at fitrex.com.

The quickest and easiest way to lose weight at ANY AGE is simply to lessen your intake of food. Short of doing this, you may lose weight, but it will come back, as soon as you revert to your old eating habits. As simple as this sounds, the reason why this doesn't work very well is, because a lot of people lack will power.

First, you gotta love yourself and accept the way that you look right now.  After you have accepted the fact that your over weight, make small goals like losing 1-2 pounds a week. Eat smart and exercise hard at least 40 min. a day.  Everytime you look into your mirror, smile and let yourself know that all this hard work will pay off.  By August, you will be looking at that 125 princess from 5 years ago!! Good Luck!!

Losing weight first starts with being happy with yourself and loving *YOU* on the inside. Try everyday to smile and laugh, LAUGHING is super helpful. It seems weird but it does! =) Try to follow a 1600 calorie diet. \nIt's best to have 5 meals a day that way you need get to hungry because that leads to over eating. \n\nHere is a couple ideas to help you get started:\n\nBreakfast: \nOatmeal and a piece of wheat toast w/ 2tsp. trans free margarine. -OR- Strawberry Banana Smoothie (In a blender process until smooth, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, and 1 or 2 ice3 cubes. You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit. \nLunch:\n1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty. The meat is delicious. \nDinner: 1 piece Chicken Breast with 2 side dishes: 1 cup steamed veggies, 1 sweet potato, 3/4 cup corn, 3/4 cup butternut squash, etc.\nDessert:\nLight Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt:\n3/4 cup with no more than 110 calories per 1/2 cup topped with tablespoon chocalate syrup. \nSnacks:\nSteamed Veggies, fruit, any nuts (these are great protein), \nmy personal favorite snack is Light and Fit 60 calorie yogurt cup with a 100 calorie Granola Bar. (I cruch up the Granola Bar and put it inside of my yogurt.)\nAlso there are alot of great ideas if you go to fast food for example.... \nWendys: Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich- 390 calories\n\nMcDonalds:\nCaesar Salad grilled Chicken-220 calories\nBacon Ranch Salad w/grilled chicken 260 calories\nSalad Dressing: Vinaigrette: 40 calories\nSalad Dressing: Italian : 60 calories\nFruit and yogurt Parfait: 160 calories\nChicken McNuggets: (4) 170 cal.

It really depends on what you mean by "fast" because the only way to lose weight really fast is to simply not eat, which is extremely not recommended and unhealthy. Instead, you must change your lifestyle and diet. First, start eating MORE. YES MORE!! More times a day that is. Instead of having 3 large meals, break it up into 4-5 smaller meals a day. Also, if you work keep a pack of almonds at your desk and munch onthose every now and then if hunger kicks in. Also, what you eat is extremely important as well. Try to eat alot of whole grain foods, veggies, lean meats and try to avoid fried foods in bad oils like vegatable and corn oil. Lastly, start to exercise! Start off slow, if you're a newbie, do a 30 minute walk, 15 min jog, maybe do some weights. Once you adapt to this new lifestyle, you'll be more than on your way to lose weight, look good, and most of all, FEEL GOOD!!

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

Make sure you bring up your concerns with your parents and your doctor, they need to make sure you lose weight in a healthy way. Here are some tips:\n\n1. Drink a LOT of water. You should already be drinking 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water a day (64 oz). If you don't like the taste of water or find it hard to drink that much, ask your parents to buy those Crystal Light mini packets. They have different flavors like lemonade. You just pour it into a bottle of water, shake, and drink!\n\n2. If you have problems with snacking too much, pack healthy snacks into your backpack for when you go to school. Some good choices are raw, unblanched almonds, veggies, fruit, rice cakes, and unsalted plain popped popcorn.\n\n3. Meals should each have a fruit and vegetable serving, and eat leaner meats like Turkey.\n\n4. A really tasty healthy snack is a peeled apple (core it too). You cook it in the microwave for a minute or so and sprinkle cinnamon on it (not cinnamon sugar). It's really good.\n\n5. Try and have your mom or dad go for walks with you everyday (tell them it will help make EVERYONE healthier). Join dance or another sports team if you have time.\n\n6. Try and avoid foods that are high in fat and calories. Peanut butter, for example is very high in fat (but it is high in protein). If you have to eat chips, for example, eat baked chips.\n\nGood luck!

if you want to lose weight, do it the right way!\n\nGet yourself a proper diet, go out and find a gym or sports activity you can join, and make it a part of your routine life.. just like coffee breaks and watching TV. This way youll avoid many side effects, plus the personal satsifaction of achieving a personal goal through hard work which I think you will cherish more.\n\nExcercise dont have to be tough, and diets dont have to be extreme.. just look it up and do it the right way.. find out what suits you best and start immediately, theres no better time!

angela, there is not a healthy QUICK way to lose weight, a healthy way is to focus on well balanced meals, healthy snacks fruits and vegies, 8-10 glasses of water a day, that is 8 oz per glass... AT least. Just set your mind to eating healthier and the extra water, cuting out sweets,chips, cakes, actually most junk foods to special occasions or a treat on the weekends. Cola's are a good thing to cut out also, to a min.  try to stretch while getting out of bed, and try to jog in place for about 10-15 min before breakfast, showering or whatever it is you do when you get out of bed in the mornings... just a change in your daily routine will help too.  Trick your body into thinking its getting more excersice than you are really getting... its a mind thing.  just move around and cut out fatty and sugary foods.

Exercise and start calorie counting.  Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good.  If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose 5 pounds within a month easily.  Here are a few suggestions that may help you.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need at least 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.  Do searches for healthier recipes for the types of food you especially like.  There is always a healthier recipe!!  Eat fewer hotdogs - just don't have them as often.  Include lots of fruits and vegetables.  \n\n2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.\n\n3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for at least 10,000 steps a day.\n\n5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.\n\n6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

A great way to lose weight is to go on a protien diet, and eat less porportions. Eat meat, cheese, eggs...that kind of stuff. And when you can try to go for a walk or jog. And also try sit ups. but first just try the protien diet. There is another diet as well its kind of weird but it makes you lose 10 pounds in 1 week (supposedly) i havent tried it but i guess it works. You eat cabbage soup. You can eat as much of it as you want and every now and then throw in a banana or a baked potato i bet it might work. Just what ever you do dont starve your self or anything like that taht can cause further problems well i hope i was help! GOOD LUCK!
