I Need to Lose Weight Fast! Posted: 07-27-05 00:34am
Okay, i'm 13 and weigh about 140 pounds!
I'm maybe... 5'4" and the fat doesn't
show that much, only a bit in my thighs
and lower tummy. I wear a size 7-8 in
teens pants and just about 3 months ago, a
pair of 5's were really baggy on me.
I have self-esteem, but no
self-motivation. I'm addicted to fatty
foods (i do love veggies and fruits but
read on to figure out why I can't always
eat them) and my mom keeps getting them.
I've sat her down and told her how
important it is for me to lose some weight
(maybe 35 pounds), how it affects my
health and my self-esteem, but she just
doesn't listen. She goes to the local
ymca in the morning, but won't take me -
even though I have a membership - because
she thinks i'll slow her up.
School starts in a week, and all my
friends will remember the thin me from
when school let out, so they'll be
worried. I know I can't lose 35 pounds
in under a week, but I would like to lose
the weight in about 2 months to 2 1/2
months.
My mom has agreed to buy me some weights
to use, but that's not enough. I need to
eat healthier, go to the y and get a
personal trainer (they have them for free
at my y, I don't know if they have them in
other ones), that way, i'll feel like I
owe it to the person helping me to lose
the weight.
What I really want to know - by writing so
much, I know :roll: - is what diet I
should use, and what type of exercises
should I do. Thank you if you spent the
time to read all this!

Hi my name is rosa I am 19 years old I use
to weight 120 pounds before I got pregnant
and know I weight like 150.I got tired of
looking at myself in the mirrow.So I knew
I had to do something I slow down on the
calories and I stoped all the snaked I
dont eat no more later than 8 oclok if I
get hungry I eat a fruit.And when I eat I
dont eat till I get full.I run when I get
time and before I lay down I do situps.So
far is worked I have lost 7 pounds and I
have went from a size 11 to a size 9.I
think you should try it and see if it
worls.

Just cut out the soda and sugary starch
snacks. (like cookies chips ect) you
are 13 so your about to have something
that youll only get once in your life and
you need to take full advantage of it, a
growth spurt and fast metabolism. I dont
think you really need to go on a full on
diet you just need to cut some things here
and there and get out there and exercise.
Ride your bike, go for a walk or run,
even little things help. .. Go to the
mall and power walk, walk to a friends
house instead of getting a ride from your
mom, join a sports team at the y. My
biggest suggestion is to do that and drink
a ton of water, soda is just empty
calories and so bad for you. Find good
substitues for foods you like, ie instead
of ice cream freeze a bannana on a stick
and eat that(really good) when your
craving chips eat nuts instead. If you
want any more ideas pm me and I will get
back to you...Ive totally been where you
are though. But honestly your metabolism
is so much faster when your younger and
doing even these little things will really
really help...
Good luck and remember not to take to
heart what dumb high schoolers may say.
It the scheme of things there opinions
dont mean caca anyways
