1. WALK!

Park your car a few blocks apart from the place you are going to and take to brisk walk to your office, grocery store, or a shopping mall. Intend to walk at least 30 minutes every day. At work, use some time during your lunch break to take a refreshing walk in a nearby park. If the weather is cold, you still can walk in your favourite mall.

OMG...So many kids wanting to lose weight. If you diet before being fully grown you can stunt yourself or cause medical problems...dont worry about your weight unless youre obese until you get to 18 or so then its safe

Hi im 15 and at a weightloss plateau. I feel like my metabolism is messed up and dont know what to do. I eat extremely healthy and for the most part, barely any fat. I exercise every day for about an hour and also do acrobatics (Circus Arts). I just cant seem to lose weight though. I gained 10 pounds in 2 months and now am trying to lose it, but my body doesnt seem to want to. Any suggestions?

I'm 6'2 and 175 pounds and 16 years old wanting to reach atleast 165. As kids we have higher metabolisms, so their for we can lose weight much faster. I tend to eat crackers in the morning "Austin peanut butter crackers" and eat another pack of crackers at break or even at lunch. So i eat atleast 3 packs of Austin peanut butter crackers each day. That's about 300 to 400 calories already. To me i feel fine and they feel me up pretty quick. People say you should eat atleast 600 calories a day because 500 calories a day is the anorexic limit. I also jog for 30 minutes a day around the block. I usually eat a 70 calories apple too after exercising. I use to weigh 200 pounds. The sooner the better. When we become adults our metabolism starts going slower and slower, unless that is if you workout but knowing adults they work for about 7 hours a day then have more things to do as soon as they get home. If you stick too a 600 calories diet a day and seems fine for you like it is for me you can lose about 10 pounds in just a few weeks. I know you should lose only 1 pound a week but we're kids so we're different not adults. I think if your completely fine with the diet your on and it doesn't bother you go for it.

I'm 14, almost 15 and I currently weigh about 195 pounds. I used to weigh 214 so I have been losing weight, but I am an extremely picky eater. Lately, I've been trying more. I love peaches, apples, bananas, and seedless grapes. I also love green beans. I can't necessarily get fresh things though because they're more expensive and my mom is a major coupon shopper so occasionally we get fresh apples and bananas, but I want to open up my options. Green things scare me honestly. I exercise every night at 8pm for an hour or 45 minutes except on Fridays, which are my days off. Sometimes I have too much homework and can't exercise so I try to eat better, but being a picky eater limits things. I love tuna fish sandwiches and the only kind of bread I eat is wheat bread. I eat 100% natural wheat bread with tuna and two and a half tea spoons of mayonnaise. I can eat albacore tuna, but I prefer original. I drink water constantly and some zero calorie stuff like Propel Zero. Water is my biggest thing though. My ultimate snack is pretzels. I don't eat much for lunch though because at school, I have the latest lunch so things won't stay cold as long or whatever. My weaknesses are pizza and french fries. I've also started eating Fiber One yogurt. Just one every other day. I'm fond of the key lime pie ones, though I have yet to try strawberry and blueberry. Anyways, just an insight to my problem. I'm definitely motivated but I don't want it to be bad for my body internally because I'm so picky. I've been controlling my portions as well as I can too, looking at serving size, though I refuse to be a strict calorie counter. Please give me some tips.

Are colon cleansers bad for a quick weightloss? I have a big party in 4 weeks, and I go to the gym 6 days a week, and I eat pretty normal. But those stubborn love handles wont go away and I want to look really nice in my dress, but I look funny with my love handles. Any suggestions?
