What's the fastest way to loose weight?

[Anonymous]

About four years ago, I used to be bulimic and anerexic. I was like this for about three years. I started in about the sixth grade, and then I stopped in the beginning of my freshman year. And through that I got down to about 142. Now I know that sounds like a lot but I had lost a lot of weight since I had started. Since I stopped I've gained about 50 pounds since 9th grade and I'm a senior in high school now and I'm 5'1. I stopped my bad habits, but I do still have issues with my body. And I want to loose it all and be back to my old size that I was in middle school, but I want to do it the right way. I still get those thoughts in my head but I have to fight them. It didn't really bother me a few months back but then my grandmother pointed out to me how much weight I had gained (she doesn't know about the problems I had) and it's got me really self conscious. So self consious I don't even feel confortable being me anymore. Is there any other way I can loose weight fast?

losing weight fast isn't the goal you need to be focusing on. You have no good reason to rapidly lose weight. Get that straight and clear. Unless you are trying to drop two or more weight classes for a competition, you do not have to lose weight quickly.

You seem pretty heavy but what are your current stats? 5'1" and 190lb?

Calorie restriction will cut weight down. Strictly for weightloss, It doesn't matter if you are eating only mcdonalds or homemade salad. Get that clear as well. Make a regular meal plan, figure out how many calories that meal plan is and follow it. Avoid eating out entirely. Pack your known calorie meal for lunch. Eleminate eating while bored/stressed. Only drink water. I would eliminate all snacks as well. Unless you want to count calories you are better off avoiding sources of calorie overload.

Exercise for progress. If you decide to run then run for time. Do run for a mile time and go faster and faster. I can guarantee if you can run a legitimate 6min mile you will no longer be fat. DO NOT run for a length of time. This is the crap that gets you no results because it is easy to take yourself easy. How do people (who have little to no drive) expect themselves to have the drive to push themselves.. Also don't be stupid like some people :rollseyes:. If it hurts stop and figure out why. It isn't glorious to exercise through pain.

You cannot outrun a poor diet. No amount of exercise will cut weight if you stuff your face with more calories than your body utilizes. Take your time, trying to force rapid weightloss for people that have poor understanding is asking for dumbshit like the 30dayskinnychallenge.

Well honestly I don't think I'm that big. It's just that half my weight goes to my boobs and hips and it makes me feel unproportionate and that's why I want to lose weight. Anyway I'll try that.

Don't try and lose weight fast. Gently does it. Three pounds a week is about right. Certainly no more. There is no busting hurry. You are more likely to keep a stable weight at the end. Don't try fad diets as they just don't work long term. All you need to do is have a change in eating habits. Things like cutting out fresh fruit juices. They're full of fructose (fruit sugar). Use low fat things such as lighter-than-light mayo. That's about one tenth of the calories in normal mayo. Eat a balanced diet, search on the internet for a guide. There are loads about. Balance carbs, protein, fruit and veg, fats and dairy. And don't skip meals!! Three meals a day, spread as evenly as possible. Allow up to two treats a day, both 100 cals or less.

It won't even feel like you're losing weight until you weigh yourself, as it's so gentle.
