How can I lose weight fast?

[monny1emano]

So I'm 129 lbs at 5'5" and I've worked out so much, cut out sweets and pop from my diet, and everything! its not working so well. I mean, I've lost five pounds in three months but that's really long and I'm only 16 so I should be able to lose weight fast, right?i work out continuously for an hour a day!

i just feel so fat all the time and bigger than everybody. I mean, I sit at my desk in school with my arms crossed cos I'm afraid people will see my belly fat.

it sucks cos I have a wide frame and boobs that make me look large. I have a 34 cup size and I guess that isn't big but it feel big :( my waist is 30".

HELP? sorry for the length

if your working out you should have lost more than 5 pounds. are you doing alternating cardio and strength? oh and by the way I find that with working out, if you do the same moves for more than 2 weeks straight it stops working, so you should find another move to do for a certain area. as for food, k this isn't really healthy suggestiongs but only ones that work for me. but I find that sugar doesn't make me gain weight sugar is only 15 cal, per teaspoon. it's more of the creamy stuff and oily stuff. care about what you family is cooking, lk my mom uses waay too much oil and it really adds to calories. also, for me, I don't count calories as much as I count fat. for ex. milk is good for you, but it is really fattening and and the calories from glasses adds up. what I do suggest is replacing 1 meal with a meal replacement. you can buy them from stores they are usually nutritious and around 200-300 calories only. also when I was on a diet I went and bought all these fruits and veggies and fat free yogurt and made all sorts of combination of drinks. a whole blender full I would drink at a time and it really really fills you up, flushes out your system so your stomach is much smaller and its healthy by the way fruits like bananas and mangoes ect. are not so slimming, aim for fibre filled stuff that tastes clean if you know what I mean like bananas taste creamy, but apples don't ...bananas have around 100 cal. each give or take depending on the size. apples have 50 . I would avoid eating out and for me, anything that feels heavy like when you finish eating it and your like I'm bloated and you feel like your system isn't digesting it quickly, packs the pounds, kinda like if you had 5 cookies. but aim for the feeling you get after eating an apple, like clean? good luck and you just have to try different things and see how your body reacts. for me personally, the stuff the tell you on how to diet NEVER works at all. I'm not one to judge on self esteem and all that crap but you are not fat, your at a very healthy and average weight. but if your looking to lose a couple pounds hope these tips work :)

okay, I'm in the exact spot where you are. when I was 5'5" I was weighing that too. (now I'm 5'6" which really doesn't make a difference, lol) and what I have been doing to lose weight is working for me. now I weigh 125 from 130 gaining weight then losing weight, gaining and losing. now I put my foot down and started losing instead of gaining.

what you should do is just eat breakfast, lunch, snack (later after lunch), or instead of snacking after lunch eat a big lunch instead so that you can last til dinner, and then dinner. Your snacking shouldn't be half of a pound of potato chips, cookies, candy etc. and a bottle of pop. For a snack eat some fruits or some celery with low fat ranch (or whatever). During the day you should be drinking water. When you go out to restaurants cut off the pop and get water.

to burn off the fat do some yoga a few times a week for 30 minutes or so *link at bottom*. Or during to school year join some sports.

you can always out eat yourself! this is why being fit is a lifestyle choice, it's something you do forever without focusing on the end result. I recommend you start to walk, instead of being at a computer, walk, how much time do you spend on the computer at home? use that time to go out and walk

Heres the thing. Its good you cut out the sweets and soda from your diet, but a lot of the foods you eat that you don't think have sugar, have sugar. Normally when I try to help people loose weight I need to know exactly what kinds of foods they eat, so they begin to loose weight.

Are you a diatician?

[Gustx]

Not exactly, I am just into eating healthy, working out, and nutrition.

oh honey 129 is not that heavy, but if you do want to get smaller keep doing what your doing exercising everyday make sure your really giving your self a workout, pay attention to the foods that you are eating don't just cut out sweets, don't eat a lot of heavy meals with lots of carbs and meat, eat vegetables and fruits, go grocery shopping with your parents to pick out healthy low calorie food, eat yogurt and soup (not the creamy kind) stuff like miso soup, rice crackers, stir fried vegetables, fish, rice noodles, do research online about which foods are best for losing weight, eat frequently to speed up your metabolism snack on celery and carrots and cucumbers with dip

Your BMI is 21. Your weight is perfect. If you want less flab and more muscle, work out more and eat healthily, but definitely don't lose 20 pounds. You'll be underweight.

[Gustx]

BMI is not at all a reliable method of determining whether a person is over weight or under weight.

[Dominique_7]

It is for most people, unless they're athletes or something.

[Gustx]

The main problem with BMI is that it doesn't take into account Muscle Mass. Weight in general is not a good method of determining health, because someone can be 300 pounds and look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and that is totally healthy, another person could be 150 pounds and be very unhealthy because they are 35 percent body fat. So the number is almost meaningless. Its really more about body fat percentage.

I agree with you, but based on the height, weight, and waist size she gave us, it seems impossible that her weight is unhealthy: she would practically have to have no muscles for that weight to be unhealthy.
