Eating healthy and exercise
16/f (I'm not overweight- 5'5" 135 lbs 25% body fat)
I'll get straight to the point. I don't eat healthy and the only exercise I get is rolling around in my sleep. I am going to change my eating and exercise habits. Not WANTING to, GOING to. I just want to know if I run for an hour and only eat healthy foods (mainly organic food) how long will it take for me to notice a difference? Like how much weight will I lose in, say, a week or something?

This will all depend on your motabalism and such. I don't think anyone can give you anything specific here becuase very person is different.
I would also suggest since you have beenvery inactive that you don't jump straight into a diet as well as an extreme exercise routing right away. It'll be a big shock to your system so you need to get into it gradually. I noticed a big difference with myself after a month of healthy eating (no chocolate, fizzy drinks, junk food, fatty/deep fried foods etc) and that was only because I was not allowed to exercise because of an injury. You may even notice changes before then.
The best way to go about it is to weigh yourself at a set time (morning and evening before bed each day should be good) and continue to do this every once a week. After a month you can check the results and see if you've made much of an improvement (also taking note of any major changes you may have made to your diet or exercise routines).
With the running for an hour try to start out just jogging for as long as you can. Start the clock and then jog without looking at it. Then when you just can't carry on more stop and stop the clock to see how long you were able to run for. Continue to do this every day and keep records so you can check your times and see each week if you're making improvements in your endurance. You'll more than likely find you can run for longer and longer as you go and your body begins to get into the routine. Also, swimming (if you have access to a swimming pool as well as being able to swim) is a very good form of exercise as it works every part of your body so you may want to think about trying that too.
Hope all this was helpful. If you need any more help feel free to write me but just remember to take it easy, don't overdo it and injure yourself. :] good luck and I hope you manage to reach your target. :]
