I am female, age 16 [3 months til 17], I'm 5'8" and weigh 268!! My senior year in high school is coming up and I dont know how to get down to my goal weight [190] which is barely in my heaight's average weight catagory. I would REALLY like to get down to 190, but I havent weighed that little since I was 9 years old! I don't know how to get down there! I have a whole year to lose the weight, but I'd really like to lose 20 lbs. within a couple months so that I can look and feel at least a bit better than I do now.

I'm the kind of person who doesn't usually care what people think of me, but after two years or trying to be nice to the b*tches that ride my bus [the "popular" girls], I thought they were finally starting to like me, not that I care. I was just being nice to them because it was the right thing to do. Last week, I had just became friends with a guy that hung out with me, reguardless of how I looked and then the girls that sat behind us made him go sit with them JUST so he wouldn't be sitting by me!! How could people be so mean?!

That is my inspiration right now...proving those girls WRONG!! I am NOT a bad person because I'm obese!! I'm a really nice person once someone gets to know me, but no one gives a second look at me to get to know me because in this world, people are too obsessed with physical looks!!

Can someone please give me good exercises I can do in the privacy of my own home [i can't afford a gym]. I would REALLY like to lose the weight, no only to prove them wrong, but to make myself feel better!!

I'm sick of looking at myself in the mirror and having my face look like I'm sick!!
 
Hi there...

I am also trying to lose weight, I've lost 13 lbs so far, so I'm syked!!! What I am doing is eating healthier, such as not skipping breakfast, but eat something good for you and watch your portions, and eat something about every 2 hours or so, example of my schedule and foods I eat:
Breakfast 7 am: 1 serving of cereal with 2% or skim milk, apple
Snack 9-9:30 am: grapes
lunch 11-11:30: salad with chicken breast and eat right ranch
snack 2-2:30: orange and string cheese
Dinner 5:00: stir-fried chicken and vegetables with rice
with dessert if you choose: jello or a popsicle, or a smartones brownie alamode
Don't eat past 6 pm, and make sure you're eating what the portions say on the back. Also, I do swim, which I know you said you can't do because of the gym thing, but you could walk for about 40 minutes and do crunches and pushups, anything that really gets you sweating and also work on toning up your problem areas ya know... like squats for thighs, or climbing stairs, leg lifts, crunches, push ups or use something like a can to use as weights for arms if you aren't into push ups. But walking can do alot as long as you're walking at a good pace. Good luck, I know you can do it. I'm on my way... If you ever need support, I'm here.:seeya:

at your age - nutrition is going to be your primary thing to lose weight - if you don't have your nutrition under control - you aren't going to lose the weight you want andkeep it off.

talk to whomever does the grocery shopping and meal preparation in your house about your goals...

Read the stickied threads in the forum - espeicaly on topic, nutrition and exercise -there's a lot of valuable information that you can use now and take with you for the rest of your life

The not eating past 6:00 isn't the best advice given... it's total calories consumed during the day - period... Not when they are consumed -if you're concerned about fat loss... Make sure you have a reasonable calorie range (note: despite what a lot of fitness magazines will tell you - 1200 calories is not reasonable long term - read the stickied theads in nutrition for a better range)
 
i agree with maleficent. nutrition is key! and at your age, it should be easier. i don't go to a gym because a) i don't have the money to and b) i am married and we only have one car. i live down a long, winding country road and it is two miles just to get to the corner mart. i can't walk this road for anything. it's like deadman's curve!!
at home, i do my treadmill. i understand not everyone has a treadmill. if you would like to possibly get one, check out , and type in your city and state in the search bar once you get there. if you don't find your city, type a larger city near you. keep typing till you hit one in your area. or, you can just type in your state, and search for a group near you. i got mine free off of my local freecycle. you join a local group, so it's not far to pick up. people give away EVERYTHING on freecycle!! it's awesome!
anyway, in the meantime... absolutely free....
okay. when i was younger, i used to just walk in place for one or two half hour sitcoms. whatever length of time you can do, and build up from there.
i would say if you do cardio (walking, biking) till it gets easier, then you can add weight training. you can search on line and find exercises for specific muscle groups. i would do one exercise for each muscle group. :)
type WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMS into the browser and read up. find one that is best for you. drink lots of water!!
i hope you get smokin' hot and blow those doo doo heads away!! not with a gun, but with your new figure. i hate how cruel people can be.
best of luck to you. :)
 
you've been given a lot of good advice already.
Fish oil can help (make sure mercury free - guaranteed) and low glycemic eating.
I wish you much success!!
 
get to the gym and start exercising! avoid all junk foods and eat only balanced diet foods every day and at have more vegetable and fruits through out he day! as you wake up in the morning drink about 1 litre of water and 1 litre throughout the day! i have done this type of diet and within 1 month i saw great changes. My dietitian also prescribed me with HCG Pregnyl which is helping me a lot with my diet! hope i have been able to help you out!
 
You've already been given some great advice on here - not much to add to the weight loss side, except that YOU CAN DO IT!! My comment is on the bus part... I had the same thing when I started new high school - overweight, coming from out of town - kids (and people in general) LOVE something different so they can try and bring you down to their level. Just let them get on with it! And if that guy was so shallow as to be pulled away that easily... enough said.

You've got a lot more than any of them because you are stepping out to change your future, rather than looking for someone else to drag down to make you feel better. When you've lost this weight - and you will! - they'll come looking for you and guess who's not going to be interested! That's how my story ended up- it's not the greatest experience to go through, but you will come through and be on top.

Hahahaha, why does the OP have to privately message you.

Within the last three posts a con artist sits. It's not me. And it's not the poster above you.

Any ideas?
 
Ok for starters, please be careful! You are only 16, this weight might just come off as soon as you leave school. Alot of people are stressed when it comes to school which causes them to put on weight. Try eating a balanced diet and get plenty of exercise :)
 
Just wanted to follow up and see how you are doing with you getting rid of you weight? Have not seen a post for sometime.

I can't give you much weight loss advice, as I am a fat little piggy, but I can offer you something...

Fuck those "popular" girls and anything they think about you. In all honesty, those snobby, popular bitches are going to be used up, trailer trash skanks by the time they're 21 years old. Most of them will gain weight and end up sleeping around with any man who is willing to touch them, just to feel like they're not alone.

Every single time they say something smart to you or laugh at you, just remember that.

Good luck with the weight loss.
