How can I lose weight on a low income?

i have 5 months to loose 45 lbs, that’s 9 lbs a month, about a pound every 3 days. i’ve tried, i really can’t do it. i can’t eat healthier because of my mom, who is totaly not supportive of me loosing weight. she thinks that i’m fine how i am, when people at school call me a rhino. kids at school don’t really bother me that much, but in this case i agree with them. and you’re not supposed to lift weights untill you’re 18, otherwise it will stunt your growth. it’s really unhealthy for you under 18. and lifting weights doesn’t burn that much fat. besides, my arms are already strong enough, i play softball. i don’t care what people say, i’m starving myself. i’ll go anorexic if i have to, i just can’t bear being fat any longer. i want to be able to fit into something below a size 10 for once in my life. i’ve been big since i was little. i’ve never known the feelinf of being skinny, and i want to know it well for the rest of my life. when i’m 115 lbs, i’ll stop starving myself. a healthy person can actuually go 1 full month without food, i plan on 2 weeks at a time.there is absolutely no way that anybody can convince me otherwise, i don’t care if i end up in the hospital, it will be worth being skinny.

We lose our weight with oxygen transport that is increased by the “O” in H2O and breathing heavily during the cardio so breath deeply and exhale.

We also burn the fat while we sleep. So, additionally uninterrupted sleep is key to losing weight but don’t over sleep.

As you exercise your body will increase its endorphins output and you will not have string hunger pains as a result because endorphins are natural pain killers and they make you feel happy so you will eat less, feel beautiful and content, and very soon you’ll be the weight that you want. and while you’re at it wash your face before you go to bed and floss your teeth.

i already took health, and pe at my school isn’t very demanding. i know that i don’t have a weight gaining disease…. and i do sleep a lot. i harldy ever eat lunch… only when i pack myself one. breakfast isn’t very common either. i really don’t eat that much, but i’m extremely fat……

well i lost 40lbs in about 3months. i didnt go on a diet or anything. i just ate breakfast and dinner, thats all. i walked to school and had my classes rearranged to have p.e and health class. what can i tell you? well just start eating low, and ohh if u sleep, u lose weight because your not eating. DAH! but yeah my sisters both have some kind of sickness and if causes them to gain weight even though they dont eat much, maybe you should go to the doctor to check that out.

Why even ask a question of you’re going to be stubborn and not listen to the suggestions you’re being given? If you starve yourself, the only weight you’ll lose is water and muscle so you’ll be even flabbier than you are now, not to mention completely unhealthy.

Regardless of what your mother buys you to eat, you still have your own will-power and can choose the healthiest things available to you and there are plenty of exercises you can do without having a lot of money. I was fat in high school too and my parent’s didn’t buy the healthiest items, but my health was important enough for me to do something about it.

Being anorexic might get you weighing a little less, but it will also take YEARS off of your life and do damage to your internal organs that can never be repaired. Think about it. There’s more to good health than how much you weigh.

I am like you. I am very over weight. I used to be a size 4 to a size 5. My youngest son has gained a lot of weight since we lost our home and there is no place where we currently live to get out a walk. The area is very dangerous. I know what you mean by being very poor and I also understand when someone doesn’t support you with the goals you have set for yourself. Do take the advise in not starving yourself. It doesn’t work and only makes things worse. Is there anyway that you could talk with the PE coach and ask him/her for some special exercises you could do at home that would take no money. Maybe they could talk with your mom (that might be touchy) Try to find the best food that is there in your home. Learn how to prepare some healthy treats by getting on line and finding simple recipes using what you have at home. I know it is hard for you now, but see if there is some kind of help from church, or school. Your health is important but so is your emotional health. If you don’t take care of the 1st and you start abusing it by not eating it will catch up to you later on in life.

Alot of very poor people eat a lot of pasta because it can be stretched a long ways for a meal or meals. Good food is more expensive than junky, starchy foods.

This is really good advise for everyone.
