Fastest way to lose weight?
14 / F / About 120 pounds / 5 foot 3 inches
When I was younger, I was a little overweight. I do believe I still have weight from back then.
I want to lose the fat in my face and stomach. I don't eat much sodium either, so I know it's not from that. I don't exercise because I'm just too lazy to; But I can. I just don't know which exercises to do. It's also hot outside, so I don't want to go running or anything. I barely leave my house too.
I eat somewhat healthy; I'm a vegetarian, so I eat fake meat that's made out of vegetables and all that. I drink a lot of water, and I count my calories to make sure I don't go over 1200. I'm trying to eat less, because - I admit - I eat when I'm not hungry. But I still count my calories.
What are some exercises or some ways to lose weight quickly? I am SO self concious, and can barely do anything. Sorry if this was long, I just need some advice.

First, 120 lbs is NOT overweight. Really. If you go by the BMI (Body Mass Index), you are right in the middle of the healthy/normal range.
That being said, I understand the pressure to be skinny like the models in magazines and on TV, but that's not always healthy (and a lot of times, the models themselves don't even look like that).
I know what it's like to look in the mirror and not like what you see, it's a feeling that most women (and men) go through at one point or another, but it's important to remember that the beauty standards in the media is not what beauty really is. Beauty is being confident and making healthy choices and not stressing about food.
Food is something we all need. It's good for you and shouldn't be something to obsess over. If you really are concerned about your eating habits, I suggest talking to your parents about it and seeing if you could possibly see a nutritionist who can teach you what your body needs and coach you and your family into healthy habits.
As for the psychological part of feeling very self-conscious, if it is affecting your everyday life, perhaps your parents can take you to a counselor/therapy to help you work through it or maybe there is a trusted adult you can confide in?
In regards to the exercise part, I suggest finding something you love to do and not thinking of it as exercise, like putting on some fun music and dancing for 30 minutes.
Well, I hope I've helped in some way...

Make sure you have a good healthy nutritious breakfast.Eating a good one can help you feel fuller throughout the day.
Stay away from carbs like pasta,and eat beans.
Also,no diet drinks,as they are packed with harmful stuff! Yikes!
Also,drink a glass of water before each meal as it can help cleanse your stomach and help you eat a little less when eating your meal.
Please,stay away from diet pills.They can be very very dangerous.
Just stay as healthy as you can

Maybe you're consuming too many carbohydrates or sugars, maybe try running in the morning before the sun comes out

I'm also a 14 year old girl who's trying to lose a bit of weight. I've heard that crunches, squats, and any type of cardio work wonders. Also drink ALOT of water and try not to eat anything packaged or processed because those things ALWAYS .have hidden sugars. Green tea also aids the loss of belly fat.
