15 year old looking to lose weight and get great abs

I'm "15" (will be in a few weeks anyways) and I'm 5'10" 218 lbs. I used to weigh 180 pounds and was a fullback for my football team, up until the day I broke the growth plate in my foot :-(. I stayed at my Grandmothers home for around a month or two recovering, around this time I gained all of this weight from being very inactive and eating "Grandma's Homemade Meals"! I love to play football but up here in Alaska the season will be over soon, that was how I kept my self in shape when I was 180 lbs., but now that winter is aproaching I don't know what I could do, the only equipment available to me is an old total gym :-|. If anyone knows what I could do and/or what I should eat along with excercising to help me LOOSE my extra luggage....please tell me! THANKS!! -Jruss
Oh, haha! I also forgot to mention... When I weighed 180 lbs. I wasn't fat, I was actually pretty built up, I'm not looking to have a rock hard body like some other people on this thread (no offence) but I wouldn't mind a few tips on how I could gain a bit more muscle. Thanks-Jruss

list of good foods to choose from to help you get started

cut and paste of rough ideas to further assist you

RULE # 1- Stay away from fats, excessive salt and simple sugars. This eliminates 99% of the fast foods, munchies and soft drinks. Who needs them? In a few short weeks, you won't want them, wonder why you ate them and feel sick if you do!

RULE # 2 - Eat a basic breakfast of complete carbohydrates and protein to set up your metabolism for the day and to provide fuel and muscle building ingredients. Basically, protein builds muscle and carbohydrate supplies fuel for energy. Breakfast can be an easy to prepare meal from a quality protein shake to a bowl of oatmeal, scoop of cottage cheese, fruit and coffee. Remember, if you don't feed yourself a small wholesome meal in the morning, your body will draw on your muscle tissue as a source of energy, putting you in a slump and in muscle deficit. Add a good vitamin and mineral formula each morning to put order and efficiency in your body chemistry.

RULE # 3 - With whatever effort it takes, feed yourself every 3 to 4 hours throughout the day - each meal consisting again of protein and carbohydrate. Any combination of the following is perfect: tuna/rice, lean meat/baked potato, cottage cheese and fruit, chicken/pasta, etc. (Vegetarians - take particular care in order to get plenty of protein in your diet.)

RULE # 4 - In simple English, to gain weight, eat more and eat more often. Be ready for solid bulk weight - lean muscle comes slowly but surely. To lose weight, eat less, still as often, consuming the majority of your calories early in the day.

RULE # 5 - I have always instinctively leaned toward a higher intake of protein over carbohydrate to build a lean body. Though contrary to popular opinion, many doctors and top bodybuilders I've conferred with agree. Emphasize protein.

RULE # 6 - Between meal snacking is okay if the snack is truly nutritious - no junk! Don't let them be a substitute for a meal or become a habit. Good snacks are fruits or vegetables, low fat muffins, protein energy bars, nonfat yogurt, whole wheat bagels, cottage cheese, etc.

RULE # 7 - Simple carbohydrates (sugar and honey) provide us with a quick pickup but let us down just a quickly. Excessive sugar plays havoc with our insulin metabolism and leads to fatigue and fat storage. Not good

I'm 15, 210lbs, 5'9, just looking to get rid of my stomach ( it's not that big)
I'm well built, doing an upper body workout (mainly arms) 2 times a day, 4-5 times a week. How to get rid of stomach? Exercises please :)
 
this works

Okay, this worked for me. I was 105 lbs at the time, 15 years old, but I gained 5 lbs of muscle and lost 1/2 inch on my abdomen, 1 in off of my thighs, and now I have a killer six-pack. I did 6 sets of 20-second workouts with a 10 second break in between each 20 seconds. So the first set of six was push ups, then 10 second rest, push ups for 20, then 10 second rest and so on so forth. Then you'd do this for legs, with squat/lunge alternations. And finally you would finish with leg raises, but for the leg raises, have someone stand over you and try to push your feet down when they come back up. If your feet touch the ground, they hit you in the stomach, and try to keep your legs straight the whole time! :) And for the last set of all of the workouts you "eurotrain", so for the push ups its clapping, for legs if its squats do burpees and lunges jump from one lunge to the next, and for leg raises when you put your legs down open them and close them, then bring them up, then open and close them, etc. This worked pretty well for me. And I lost the 1/2 inch and 1 inch in about 2 or 3 months of doing this only ONCE per week, so doing it 3 times a week could really make a difference I'd think.

The first thing you will do is list of nutrition
The reason why many people are obese these days is the kind of
food they like to eat – junk foods, processed foods,
fast food products, etc.
Fiber rich foods are often disregarded but these are needed
by the body to promote good digestion,
flush out unwanted toxins and maintain a healthy inner body.

start your day with a good and healthy breakfast consisting
of high fiber fruits and low starch foods.
This is very essential meal in your day as it wakes up
your metabolism which burns fats.

exercise daily you can use exercise bike effective for
low-impact aerobic exercises in your home.Comfortable to use
it has vinyl seat with multiple positions and handrails.
 
Easy way to lose fat and gain muscle for adolescent teenagers that are overweight.

Alright, look. I'm 15 also and I have lost 50 lbs in under 3 months. The one thing that helps the most would be your growth spurt. But all you need is to find a local weight lifting gym and eat Subway. I know it sounds like a cliche but still it works more than anything! Go to that gym and workout a specific muscle everyday, and afterwards drink 4 scoops of whey protein or just eat a good ole Protein bar. Also you can eat Subway after every workout. Be sure to get minimum fat such as a sandwich LOADED with Mayo or even Light Mayo. I always get a 6 inch ham/turkey with one swipe of light mayo, but that's just what I enjoy. All of this should help A LOT with gaining muscle and losing fat. Trust me, it worked for this guy!!
