How can I 40 lbs quickly (next summer)?

You are probably gaining weight because of depression. Your mom should find someone for you two to talk to so that you both can get through rough time together. Many times it is not how much you eat but what you eat and then what kind of physical activity you are participating in. You and your mom should try walking in the evenings after dinner for about 30 minutes or longer if you can tolerate it. If you can't do 30 minutes right away, then work your way up each day. I know that I hate walking on treadmills, so what I do is go to the mall and walk around window shopping and sometimes I actually buy something!

Ok, its a long one, but hear me out :)\n\nNo no, don't listen to the people telling you to eat more...that's ridiculous and will only result in raising your fat percentage, making you unhealthy, with risk of heart trouble either now or later on, depending on your age.\n\nWhy DO you want to gain 40 pounds?  Why 40?  Are you starting a new sport, or do you feel you're underweight?  Have you found your Body Mass Index, or BMI? (Chart found easily on the web, etc)\n\nIf you find yourself wanting to gain some weight for healthy reasons, I recommend strength training.  This will put on muscle instead of fat, and has only endless advantages with no drawbacks.  Not only will you have more energy, but your heart will thank you, you won't need a man to open that stubborn can, and you can feel good about yourself and your self-image.\n\nStrength training involves several options for you.  Reps (the number of times you lift a weight, or perform the excercise) and sets (the number of groups of these excercises you do) are common terms you should know.\n\nTo tone what you have, or lose some weight, you would need to peak and exhaust your muscles at about 18 or 20 reps, and repeat it 3 times (or three sets.)\n\nBuuut, if you're looking to build MASS (and weight, in your case,) you should look at doing a heavier weight for less reps.  For example, if you like a weight 6 times and cannot possibly lift it a 7th because its too much...then repeat for 3 or 4 reps, you'll build mass like no one's business.\n\nCan I reccommend a personal trainer at least in the beginning to help you customize a workout for you?  Or if you have any questions, I am a trainer myself.\n\nRemember, muscle weighs more than fat.  If you're looking to gain, go for muscle.\n\nGood luck!

This is the fastest, but not the safest.  Cut your calorie intake really low.  Drink nothing but bottled water or flavored water with zero calories.  You don't need to do excercises, but it is a good idea since the weight drops so fast.  You will want to be firm.  You can drop 10-15 lbs a week.  Buy goldfish crackers and snack on them when you get hungry.  Celery has no calories.  If you are not disciplined enough to just eat like that for a few weeks.  Then go the whole day without eating and drink water only.  Eat 1 meal that is 500 calories or less.  It definitely works.

Well - if puking and exlax don't count....\n\nYou cannot lose that much wait that fast even if it is water weight.  Your body is going to fight you and find ways to store fat if it thinks you are starving it.  \n\nThe trick is to consume a lot water...say about your weigh times .66 and convert the number to oz's.  Then, add in cardio (walking is fine) for 30 minutes (straight)  a day.  Lastly, adjust your goal to about 10 pounds a month and extend the time to 3 months...your body want  fight you as much.  And cut out all the fast food.

Well well well...\nI would eat a lot of fiber (whole grains, beans, cereals) for breakfast, eat salad for lunch and then eat pasta/meat for dinner. Get on a 'disciplined' excersize plan that you do areobics, anarobics (sprinting), and weight training, include sit ups, and you will see RAPID weight loss. I'd say exsersize AT LEAST 30 minutes, 3 times per week. Trust me, it worked for me...and I'm 6'1 190 lbs and I look and feel great...You must include discipline, and also don't forget to set yourself a goal. GOOD LUCK!

Eat lots of sweets and chips & dips. That should do it pretty quickly.

First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

1) Curb your eating of sugars, salts and fatty things.\n2) rigorous workouts.\n\nHOWEVER.. you should be very careful and not lose too fast. Whatever your reason for wanting to lose immediately, it is NOT worth it. You should plan to lose 1 or 1 1/2 pounds a week. That is a good goal.

You will have to burn more calories than you consume. No sugar, junk food, sauces, gravies. Eat baked, broiled, grilled lean  meat,& steamed veggies. Get active! 30 minutes of cardio, be it a treadmill, or suiting up for a jog. Join a gym, or at least have a workout buddy. It is very hard work, but worth it when you don't have to "suck it in", to zip it up. Good Luck!

Eat&drink only vegs, fruits, fish, milk, water, some juice, some rice, fiber, and salad for three months.  \n\nOne egg a week is OK, some Chicken is OK no more than two times a week.  \n\nNO NO sodium over 5%\nNo no soda for 6 months.\nSome candy OK one candy as treat once a week.\n\nWalk around the block 6 times a day, 4 times a week.\nFind after school track activity, running is good for you.\n20 push up at least 3 set a day, for 4 times a week.\nJump rope or jumping jack 60 times with three set for 4 times a week.  You should look great in three months.  Better to be fit in the slow lane than the fast lane.  Best off all do not eat too fast, otherwise you will have problems.

Try eating HEALTHY every 4 to 5 hours. This will keep the metabolism up. Also, don't eat if you're NOT hungry. Add activity into your life as well. Take the stairs instead of elevators (if it's not too many flights), go out and play intead of sitting in the house. take up a sport that you like or think you could grow to like (if you keep it up through high school, it could get you a scholarship). Mainly be active and know your body. Don't eat too much or too often. There's nothing wrong with not clearing your plate or saying "No, I'm not hungry." The first couple of times your family may look at you like you're sick or crazy (mine did), but they'll get used to it. And you're doing something better for yourself. You'll enjoy the benefits of being healthier for a long time to come. But remember, you're not going to lose 100 pounds or anything crazy like that. Take it slow, believe me it's much better and long lasting if you just transition to a healthy lifestyle instead of crashing. Also, have discipline and set a goal. There are 12 weeks in the summer, plus May and June before you go to middle school. You can only lose 2 pounds a week the healthy way so a good goal would be 40 pounds and that's pretty damn good for one summer. So good luck and take it slow and be healthy. Hope this helps, hope you got this far down to the bottom. Sorry it was so long. But I know how it is to be overweight, and to lose it. Good Luck!!

You can lose a lot of weight between now and the summer if you work at it a little.   If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose quite a lot of weight by July.  You need to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound, so don't try to do it too fast. This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 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.  Use the calculator at one of the links to figure out a sensible number of calories for you.\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 for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.  Start by walking around the block if that is what you can do now, and increase a little every 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 burning more calories than you take in leads to weight loss.  Remember 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\n7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4.   Even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. Be strong.  You can do this. Good luck with it.

Hit a fast food restaurant for every meal.  Make sure you get the "biggy" size.--thats if you want to gain 20#s of fat.  Work out and get a physical trainer if you want to gain 20#s of muscle but that might be unachievable for most people.\nGood Luck?
