i was invited to the jr prom by my friend jeremy and hes usually with very cute, fit girls. not that i really care because he obviously asked me for a reason. he must not care that im not really tiny but im 16 and im a little chubby, and i think its just cuz im kinda short and my legs are so short. but can i lose at least 15 lbs by then? i really want to tighten up my arms&"love handles" especially. i have been doing crunches on my ab lounge the last 2 nights so if i do sets of 30 throughout the day will that help? i might go to the gym but i have no one to go with, so i dont know if that will definetly happen. so does jogging in place really work? i may also just take walks during the day, like walk to the tanning salon and back home. im very sad that ive gained over like 20 pounds since school started, and im not even kidding, it SUCKS!=(
*i was thinking maybe because i usually dont eat breakfast on school days i can have water.
*workout when i can in gym at school,then have an orange and a fruitdrink/ water at lunch
*after school workout when im home&try and take walks.. but i dont know what i should eat? maybe yogurt
*dinner maybe a sandwich and water&definetly work out alot

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
crunches will only work your ab area.
buy some dumb bells (weights) just abotu 5 or 10 and do 15 every night then gradually do 20.
or, go to the gym and hire a personal trainer, you tell them what areas you would like to work out.

This guy asked you because he wants YOU to go with him! Which is ace, right? So he already likes you.
I don't know about lbs I only understand stone, sorry. But its not about what you weigh, its about what you look like.
Crunches will improve your abs but you won't be able to see these muscles through the fat (no offense) unless you lose it. Jogging and swimming are the best for overall fat loss. Yeah jogging on the spot would work. If you work up a sweat and get your heart beating then you're getting fitter, and you're burning energy. Skipping is really good for tummy and thighs I hear.
Drinking water throughout the day is a really good idea. It will make you feel full (so you'll eat less), speed up digestion, flush out toxins (so you'll feel better) and can help get stored fat moving! It helps with cellulite too. Although you'll be going to the loo all the time! However, I think you may appear not to lose weight on the scales because your body will absorb more water. But look at it this way: better water than fat!
If you're going to skip a meal it shouldn't be breakfast, it should be the last meal of the day (dinner, tea?). You burn more energy in the morning and less in the evening, so it makes sense to eat breakfast to kickstart your metabolism into energy-burning, and eat only a small amount at teatime.
All fruit and veg is good for weightloss, low in calories AND good for you. Carrots, oranges, apples, celery sticks, cucumber, bananas, pears, grapes, avacadoes, mangoes... you can eat all that raw and its all great. Walnuts are really good for keeping your metabolism up (the ability of your body to burn calories) so snack on them little and often. Like two walnuts an hour! People say theres lots of fat in nuts but its good fat, if that maskes any sense. salmon is good. man i love smoked salmon. Yoghurt is great as long as its low fat. "In a University of Tennessee study, women who ate three cups of low-fat yogurt a day lost 60 percent more body fat than women who didn't down dairy. The magic ingredient? Calcium, which appears to act as a switch, telling your body to burn fat faster, says study author Michael Zemel, Ph.D."
Avoid eating anything pre-made, like a TV-dinner from a shop. Try to make stuff yourself from raw ingredients, coz premade stuff contains preservatives and blah blah blah that just will not help. "Less-processed foods tend to have less sugar, so levels of insulin, a fat storage hormone, remain steady. Sugary processed foods, on the other hand, trigger a spike in insulin, which cues your body to hold onto fat." Avoid too much sugar (you get it naturally in fruit which is good). Have a whole-grain bread sandwich, its so much better!
Also, if you get hungry, I remember someone telling me they eat marmite on a cracker or small piece of bread. The strong taste tricks your brain into thinking you've eaten a lot. Also, eat food on smaller plates. That tricks your brain too. Eat the food slowly and consider it as you eat it.
You never need to be hungry, just eat little and often so your metabolism doesn't give up, and stick with the exercise. You couldn't live on a routine like this, but if you're dedicated, you can stick to it.

Walking is very good. So is the ab lounge.
Don't skip meals. Just eat a normal serving and don't pig out. Not eating will actually make your body think its starving and will cause you to gain. You don't want that to happen.
Try to stay away from sugary sweets and soft drinks until the prom. But do not skip meals.
Watch the snacks. Yogurt is great for a snack.
Don't eat anything real high in fat. Eat chicken or fish instead of beef or pork.
Walk everywhere! Maybe one or both your parents will walk with you. Make it fun.
Have fun at prom. If you don't lose a lot...hey, he likes you the way you are! :)

Don't not eat. You will need food, especially if you excercise a lot. Make sure to get AT THE VERY LEAST 1000 calories. You are better off with 1500.
My reccomendation? Break up your meals, and eat several small meals a day. Have a piece of fruit or a yogurt for breakfast, then have a quick snack between then and lunch. Have a salad for lunch, and drink water. Then another snack, then eat, say, a wrap or sandwich. Avoid simple and/or refined carbs, and saturated fats. Whole grains are really good, and unsaturated fats. And don't have fruit drinks. Fruit juice is okay, but not fruit drinks. Go 100% juice. Milk is also good, and makes a great breakfast when you are on the run.
Good luck! But remember. If he asked you, chances are he likes you as you are now. So don't so this so he'll like you. Do it because you want to.

well idk how far away your prom is, but its not good to loose alot of weight in a short amount of time. if you just concentrate on working out every little bit that you can and not about how much weight you wanna lose itll be alot easier.
your plan sounds pretty good. jsut make sure you don't eat/drink anything with alot of sugar. and no sodas. you can lose 10lbs in about two weeks just from cuttin out the sodas. anyways try eatin fruits & crackers as a snack if you feel hungry along with everything else you said up there n you should be good to go! but remember, he already knows what you looked like..and like you said he asked you for a reason, so dont sweat it if it doesnt happen! good luck
