Weight loss

I am 14 years old and I weigh 200pounds I am very popular at school and I want to lose it

Exercise 3times a week or more if you can, like running, swimming, crunches, lunges, squats. Even better if you play any sports. Cut out the junk in your diet, but allow yourself a treat every now and again. Eat plenty of fruit and veggies. Lots of lean chicken. Try and cut down on red meat. Also if you eat loads of carbs cut down a little. If you want anymore diet tips, just fun mail me, I'm happy to help

my friend tells me that she has the same problem.
1st. dont worry about the number on the scale
my advice is:
whenever you can, go outside and ride a bike, walk a dog, something like that :]
I found that going hiking helps. A LOT.
I lost like 10 pounds when I went hiking every weekend.

btw, if you eat any junk food, cut back. replace it with fruit or something like that

portion size is important.
dont ever try to starve yourself (im warning you now, you might be tempted)

this might be wierd but I've known it to work for lots of people, eat a really healthy and filling breakfast, a really big lunch and a small dinner, with small snacks in between and dont eat after 7:30 in the evening. try not to drink soda. tiny changes in your habits can make huge differences. if you feel a craving at night but your not really hungry, do something to entertain yourself like paint your nails. if you crave fast food drink a lot of water and eat some preztels, a craving for salty food might mean your a little dehydrated. if you crave sugar, make youself a pizza on an english muffin instead because the nutrients will get rid of your craving. maybe when you watch tv do crunches or jumping jacks during the commercials lol. I hope at least some of this will help=]

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot) (1 stone = 14 pounds)

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
