i'm 13, how do i lose weight?

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.

If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which

will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow

underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without

exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For

diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food

after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on

your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If

you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey

cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your

diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to

calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,

start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the

most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a

lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,

disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target

your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a

bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you

to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also.

2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don't have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.

3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.

4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.

Depends when you want to achieve the goal by and whether you want to lose weight or fat (I'm assuming fat here). If you want to achieve this goal very soon you have left yourself an unrealistic goal, especially if you aren't really use to training.

My suggestion is good nutrition, keep it as healthy and clean as possible. Definitely keep a balanced diet. Drink water, loads of it, if you can hit the average recommendation of 2 litres a day by all means do so, it's going to do nothing more than help.

If you want this to happen soon you really need to stick to your guns and keep everything perfect, from nutrition all the way down to exercise. Cardio training is your best friend in this case as it's the best way to burn fat, forget weight training in this case, yes, it will burn fat, but it really depends on the weight training exercises you are doing, most average 12 reps, 3 set types of weight training isn't going to help with fat loss, it will help with muscle bulk, however, results like that aren't going to show externally without losing that fat.

Guidelines suggest t hat we do 30mins of cardio a day, 5 days a week, considering your age I would eventually have you doing 60mins, at this stage though keep it at 30mins. Keep it simple also, you want to push yourself, but not too hard, start at a level that feels comfortable for you and as it gets easier eventually increase that level, whether it be adding hills to your course, pushing just that little bit extra, changing terrain, adding some sort of resistance, etc.

The biggest importance in all of this though is sticking to your guns, you quit and you're pretty much back to square one. Keep to your guns mate, quitting is the easiest thing to do, I know from first hand experience and constant relapses in my exercise regime. Good luck.

Hello 'sweet'. You haven't given us much information. First, look at the types of food you eat. Do you eat lots of bread, sugar, or high-calorie items. If so, use the internet (Google) to find alternative foods to eat. Drink lots of water every day. Become more active. If you have an adult who can walk with you around your neighborhood, consider doing this. Start out slow and gradually increase your speed. If you keep up a consistent routine and watch the types of food and drink you consume, you will find that the pounds will fall of. Good luck to you.
