Losing 30 pounds over 3 1/2 months?

[Anonymous]

Here's the beef:

-I'm tired of looking at myself in the mirror, and imaging myself sexy... if I was skinny(alot of girls do say I got a good facial structure)

-I'm tired of reading articles on how men AND women agree that there needs to be physical attraction

-I'm tired of all the studies that have PROVEN people who are in shape and look better generally have more friends and a better social life

-I'm tired of my low confidence

-I'm tired of girls doing stuff to guys who are thin, but I couldn't imagine them doing it to the same guy if he was fat

-And biggest thing of all: I'm tired of being self conscious of my double chin when people talk to me or take my picture

I just want it all to go away

I have approximately 3 1/2 months (starting now) before my senior year starts. I want to lose approximately 30 pounds. I weigh 180 pounds right now, 17, and I'm 5'9. I asked on Yahoo Answers(and google) and they said 150-160 would be a great weight for my height

I don't eat sh*t at all(learned my lesson from last year when I was huge), in fact I'm slowly losing weight via dieting. But I want it to go down faster.

What kind of plan can you guys recommend for me to lose 30 pounds over 3 1/2 months?

There is no magic bullet, don't try and kid yourself with the whole, "i've got the fat gene" bs cause it's not gonna help you achieve your goal. Eating sensibly is a good start but you're also gonna need to do exercise. By exercise I mean getting your heart beating really fast and being in pain for half an hour once a day (it's really not that long!) Cardio exercise is what you need to burn fat so don't bother with the weights yet or you'll just end up with muscle under the fat, cross trainer (0 impact so great if u've not done much exercise before) or swimming (also 0 impact) are good to start with or just go for a jog. It just needs to get you out of breath and needs to last for half an hour. 3 1/2 months you'll be a new man. Oh it'll probably be difficult at start BUT If you stick to a routine for 3 weeks then it actually become more difficult to not do your routine then to do it and try mixing it up a bit so it doesn't get too boring. :) goodluck.

If you try a meal replacement diet for a month to six weeks you would shift 30lbs easily , you must remember to eat healthily once you return to normal foods, but the liquid only diet perhaps take a mult vitamin in addition and you will be fine and you will be losing around a pound a day on average

Here are some tips:

1. Make sure you drink only water, every other beverage just adds calories.

2. Make sure you eat 5-6 small, protein-filled meals throughout the day. Instead of eating 3 larger meals, your metabolism will be constantly going and you will feel fuller longer, resulting in eating less. Make sure your meals consist of broiled chicken, vegetables, whole grain rice, yogurt, etc. healthier foods.

3. Cardio, cardio, cardio. Make sure you are doing at least 30 minutes of cardio a day, 5x a week. This will boost your metabolism and the weight will fall off you.

4. Weight lifting and resistance. This will also help you drop fat and gain muscle.

5. Think positively, if you fall off the wagon and splurge one day, just go right back at it the next day and don't punish yourself.

Good luck.

It's pretty difficult to lose 10 pounds a month, but not impossible. I suggest 1500-2000 calorie intake for extreme weight loss, being your height and being a male. Make foods with veggies, fruits, all around healthier foods.

Lots of exercise, do full body workouts for the most fat/calorie-burning, makes sure you get lots of water and sleep.

Good luck. :D Take before and after pics. :D
