Ok.. Here's the thing.. I'm 15 female & I'm 5'8" also.. Im like 175 pounds.. so yeah.. I'm overweight & it really sucks. I was wondering if anybody out there knew of any good websites with diet plans or exercise guides or anything. I mean, my biggest problem is stress with grades & all & when I'm stressed out I tend to eat. So.. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on a healthy weight loss plan without the use of crash dieting.

Okay, so I've edited my answer so hopefully this will help you. I've calculated that your calorie requirement for each day is 2052 calories. This means, you can eat 2052 calories every day and you won't be eating too much.

Anyways, hopefully you know a pound is 3500 calories. I've done all the math so you don't have to. After working it out, if you eat 1552 calories daily or around that amount, you WILL lose a pound a week! If you exercise, you can lose even more weight! Now the main part of the diet I've described is calorie counting. You have to make sure to keep a calorie journal so you know how much you are taking in. It is annoying, but it works! Hopefully I helped you and you understand everything I'm saying. This is probably one of the healthiest diets because it doesn't say what you can and can't eat. Plus, once you've lost the weight you want you just start eating around your total, 2000 calories again!

1552 calories a day! And it's not hard... Water is 0 calories, fruits are usually under 100, vegetables are great... just watch out for dairy.

If you want to know any more just message me and I'll help you out. Remember, I'm JUST like you, and I know exactly what you are going through right now.
