Get your mind set on loosing weight and getting healthy! Know the consiquences and the rewards. Take a deep breath and start!
You will first have to cut out as many sweets or fatty food from your diet. This will insure that you will not gain any more weight. So have an apple if you feel hungry. Keep fruit salad in te fridge and eat it when you get the urge for something sweet. Have carrots with low fat dressing. When eating a sandwich take out a layer of meat and substitute it for lettuce and two more pieces of tomatoes.
Now that you will make sure you will not gain any new weight, let's deal with the weight that you are trying to get rid of. It will be essential that you exercise every other day! You will exercise one day and let your muscle heal the next. Set up a plan. Following is a suggestion of what you can do. Add your own things and make it work.
Every other day you will have to run for 10-20 minutes. When those are done you will stretch for 5-10 minutes holding each stretch for 30-35 seconds. ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location) <-- the stretches you should do). then you will have to do the basic exercises: crunches, push ups, the works. ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location) <-- exercises like these. If you need more exercise ideas then ask a gym teacher or someone in sports). Do this for 30 minutes. When this is done be sure to stretch again!
Every week you will have to make your work outs harder and more challenging. Doing this will make your body keep on loosing this weight and having more effect then if you don't. It is called Ramping Up. For example: Run 5 more minutes each week. Do 5 more crunches, 5 more push ups. Stretch more or reach further, etc. etc.
This is what you will have to do to reach your goal. It might take longer that expected, but wouldn't it be worth it if you can be 18 and not afraid to go to the beach or if you can pass the offer on getting diabetes?
Here are some extra tips that will help you:
-When you feel bored or tired, turn up the music on the computer or stero and dance. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you are moving!
-When candy or something sweet is offered to you, don't take it. Pass on the offer or give it to someone else.
-Ask your parents to help. Throw the treats away. Get rid of the temptation.
-Do not measure weight. It all matters on how you look physically and how great you feel. Besides you have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat and so as you get healthier it might seem lik eyou gained a pound instead of loosing it. The scale is not your friend when getting healthier!
-Believe in yourself. Look in the mirror. Get yourself motivated.
-Lastly, tyr your best! Put forth 100% and nothing less. This is your body we're talking about. Not to mention your health and most mportantly your life!

Dont eat after six , do lots of exercise & make your food portions smaller & drink water, water , water ! [ varistygirl12's advice column | Ask varistygirl12 A Question ]
