Weight loss advice.
I'm 15, 5'6" and about 159 pounds. I've been overweight since I was a child, not from eating wrong or not being active, it's just how it happened. I started going to the gym in May, and in the past few months I've been working out a lot. I look different appearence-wise, I can see my body slowly changing, but my weight isn't really changing. It's taking a long time for my physical appaearence to change, too. I'm not eating badly, I've cut down completely from fast food and things high in calories. Can someone tell me how to lose weight faster than I am? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

it sounds like you are doing everything right. But it could be that your body is just going at its own pace and order of change because everybody's body is differnt you know...but umm, i have a friend who was overweight, and i helped her lose 18 pounds in 3 or four weeks. crazy right? but what she did was eat yogurt with strawberies in it in the morning for breakfast. Then in the afternoon she ate tuna salad. and then for dinner, she ate chicken salad. then in the evenings, we would go run and walk some and run around her neighborhood. I have a problem with losing weight....the reason why is because i only eat when i'm hungry, and i'm working on eating 3 balanced diets everyday, but its so hard. So i can't really gain much weight because of that. But anyway.....i hope this helped. goodluck!:D

i dont know if you are male or female and that does make a difference with weight loss. but when you start working out, you will lose weight and sort of plateau as your body becomes more muscular. only use your actual weight as a guide and not an exact answer. think of things more in terms of what outfits you can fit into and the sizes you wear. that is a much better judge.
i would also say that sometimes your body gets used to doing the same exercises all of the time and kind of slows down. try to vary what you do to work out. if you have been jogging then try riding a bike or swimming or going for a walk. if you can handle it try jumping rope or aerobics or sliding. try to not go more than 2 weeks in a row doing the same thing.
also with your meals, if you can try to spread out your eating times. for a female you want to eat something within every 3 hours and for a guy about every 5 hours to keep your metabolism at it's peak. this means smaller meals which are more like snacks. but it does help alot. you arent ever full but you arent ever really hungry. starving yourself is never the way to go unless maybe you HAVE to fit in something in like 2 days. but outside of that it's always a mistake.
