I really need to lose weight? For a play.


Question Posted Monday December 13 2010, 9:14 pm

My school will be doing a play, and there are lots of parts where the guys opposite the females have to lift them. Just a quick princess-lift in a dance or something, but I weigh 239 pounds. I'm 5'8 and a half, a teenage girl. Yes, extremely heavy I know.

Either way, I really really really need to drop a lot of weight, otherwise it might be impossible to get the part. I'm already trying to lose weight just for health reasons (yay for having dropped 5 pounds already!), and I have until about March, but any tips to kick things into (healthy) high gear? Like, will replacing my usual beverages with water help cut calories?

I know exercise is one of the biggest factors, I've started exercising at least 30 minutes a day running in place (not safe to run outside where I live), squats, push-ups, etc. Any exercises you recommend? Sorry it's so long, just wanna make sure everyone has all the detail they need about me to give the best advice they can.

Have a nice day. :)

Low carb diets work faster than low fat ones, so look in that direction. Increase your water consumption and cut out all the empty calories you can - soda, junk food. Don't even drink diet sodas, they keep you addicted to sweets.

So far your doing great you just need to stick with the healthy food but do make sure you get enough fluids in you so you got the right Idea and I'm doing the spring play to well I'm trying out oh btw it should be an hour a day just make sure you stay healthy as in a good diet nothing that could harm you... For excercising try doing it with a friend it makes time fly by and you might even end up working out longer I've learned in my health to burn calories faster is increase the amount of days you work out by one day and increase workout by doubling time and last thing lower the intensity of the workout apprently that works and remeber stay safe ad hope it works out for you in the play!
