What can I do to loose the weight?

[Anonymous]

Okay I'm 15 years old, I'm 5'3" and 150 lbs. Obviously I need to loose weight, I do have a bigger build..(insert cartman's catch phrase) anyways I guess I'm pear shaped I tend to carry more weight in my thighs, butt etc.. im pretty skinny on my waste, a bit of a belly but on the sides I'm fine I guess.
Anyways I've been eating right, I've cut out soda.. for three years now. For the most part stay away from junk food. I'm moderately active, and use to go to the gym but I have yet to see any results. I'll loose like 15 pounds at the most then plateau and gradually gain it back.

I have a problem keeping my motivation sometimes so that might be why... but is there any suggestions you guys can give me? What type of work outs I could do? How I can keep my motivation?
Anything helps, thank you.

I've lost quite a bitt of weight. I have a protien shake for breakfast and dinner a large salad and something else small like chicken breast, meat est... very little carbs and at least a gallon of water a day. Don't be surprised if you lose 5-7lbs in a week just from water weighg that you need to flush out. But since your already close to ideal weight 20-30lbs will take you 3-4 months maybe 5 as you get closer to your target weight. Snack on fruits and weigh yourself daily don't be discouraged you'll be surprised after weighing in after a week or two and be 7-8lbs lighter. Ones you reach your target weight only splurge like eat unhealthy foods like pizza or soda at a party or ones a week. I can't eat as much as my brother I have a shitty montano loan compared to him

Yeah I have a slow motabolisim too. Also how do you follow that diet? I'd get bored with it very quickly. Anyways I am going to try that too, I've been trying to loose weight for so long and have been stuck at 150 for a while now, it's very discouraging. But I will do whatever it takes, so thank you for the advice.

[tenchu11]

... it becomes a habit. I wake up drink a shake, lunch salad and meat, dinner shake... just routine.

[Asker]

How much does the protein shake mix cost you?

[tenchu11]

$50 for a 3lb container which last like 3 weeks so... a few dollars when you realize your replacing meals instead of spending more on other types of food.

[Asker]

Yeah its not bad I know this good organic stuff made from only plant matter at cost co so I'll probably get that

you don't have that much weight to lose, its easier now than later
you need healthy diet, if you don't like the gym its ok you can go for run burns or play any kind of sports.
there is a diet that i recently did and i lost 10 lbs in 10 days.. you need to cut down carbs (bread, pizza, sugar, candies, pasta.. etc) on day #10 you can eat as much carbs as you want then after that you just do the carbs cycle 3 days no carbs one day carbs.. when i say no carbs try to keep it under 20g a day.
about the gym part, if you go for spin or cycle class you burn up to 1000 calories in an hour and they aren't as boring but if you don't like them you can do simple exercises at home or just go for a run or fast walk.. best of luck you can do it.. hope this helps

[Asker]

Well my goal is to loose 30 to 40 pounds, and yeah I don't mind the gym just never know what to do there. I'd join a cycle class but I don't have one of those where I live haha. I'm going going to try that diet, it'll be tough cause I love carbs but it will be worth it.
Thank you for your advice.

[Samdaher]

you welcome, also i forgot to add try to have 5 decent size meals instead of 3 big ones and your breakfast must the biggest.. at the gym even though you don't to be muscular but you should workout on different muscle every day (5 days a week) and after your workout you do cardio. there are some awesome apps that teach you what to do in details or you can just check bodybuilding. com it has videos on how to work every muscle remember cardio is after most people do the opposite which is wrong.. about the carbs we all love carbs they taste the best but they are the worst for you day #10 you eat so much carbs and then on the cycle you do about 40 gm carbs a day and the third day carbs eat what you want this way your body will burn the carbs after a while your body will adjust and then even if you eat carbs your body will burn it and you won't gain as much this diet was used in the fbi academy last year for those who needed to lose weight fast.
try to take pics in front of a mirror and watch

[Asker]

Thank you so much! I will try everything, and wow yeah I always thought you did cardio before muscle building too.

I'm 15. And not too long ago I was 150 lbs originally I was 187 lbs so when I hit 150 lbs I was very happy. Now I'm 133 lbs and I'm 5'0 so I have a smaller build. I lost 54 lbs !!! During the week I eat healthy and drink nothing but water I also manage my calorie intake and I exercise everyday no matter what. On the weekends I eat what I want but I continue to exercise. !

[Asker]

Wow, good for you that's really awesome actually! The thing is I've tried counting calories but never stick to it, and I try to go to the gym and I just have no clue what to do there sometimes. I also work during the week so I have little time or energy to go to the gym and during the weekend i just like to hang with friends.

But may I ask, what kind of exercises do you do?

Squats
Lunges
Sit-ups
Push-ups
Jumping jacks
Running
Plank jacks
And many more.

I do all of those every night

[Asker]

Okay I'll start doing that, thank you very much

Here you go. :D

[Asker]

Thank you so much, I'm going to start this month!

[Opinion Owner]

Start today. :)

[Asker]

I really should.. you're right, no more messing around!

[Opinion Owner]

Yep ! That's what I had to realize , if I wanted to lose weight I had to work hard.

[Asker]

Yeah, it's not going to be fun but it will be worth it.

[Opinion Owner]

I also suggest going on a your favorite clothing website , and pick out an outfit in a smaller size (the size you want to be) , that way when you feel like you are starting to lose your motivation , you can look at the outfit. Lol that's what I'm doing now.

[Asker]

I would do that but I'm not big on cloth shopping haha but I am striving to fit into smaller clothing anyways so maybe I'll go buy some smaller cloths and then wait till I can fit into them! Very good idea thank you.

[Opinion Owner]

No problem. :) good luck on your weight loss.

[KidanisCortes]

calculate your BMI (google it) and then eat 500 calories less than that and run 45 minutes a day

[Asker]

Alrighty will do, thanks
