  1. hey, i'm 14 and i felt the same way as you!

    i did it and i lost about 30lbs over about 3-4 months

    it really did help, i promise

    but anyway, if you want to lose some weight, then you have to limit your calorie intake. i would recommend about 800-1300 calories a day.

    you should split this up into protein (white meats, fish and pulses), fruit, veg and dairy. the dairy is important for iron and calcium. it can also be quite low in fat and calories if you have skimmed milk and low fat cheese and yoghurt.

    try and avoid sweets, cakes, chocolate and biscuits - they stimulate your appetite, make you more hungry and they have loads of sugar and fat!

    protein is essential for weight loss. you should eat either meat, fish or pulses once a day (or more if you want). as you won't eat many carbohydrates, you body turns to fat to use as energy. if you consume fewer fats they will get used up, causing you to lose weight.

    protein is vital to maintain your muscle mass.

    cut out the chips and crisps, and any other carbs like bread, rice and pasta

    if you have to eat carbohydrates have the brown grains like brown bread and brown rice

    make sure you exercise lots - try and fit at least 30 minutes into your day if you can. you can do more if you want, but vary it like cardio and muscle training too.

    at the beginning of each month set yourself a goal - whether you want to fit into a pair of jeans, lose 5lbs or only eat chocolate once a week, set a goal to achieve.

    if you achieve it by the end of the month give yourself a treat - go and see a movie, go shopping with your friends, or go out for a nice meal.

    good luck
