Question on losing weight?

Question

Hi im 16 years old Im 6'2'' and im 300lbs. I just got this new job that requires me to exercise. Basically my job is cleaning and i ride my bike to the place which is a mile and takes me 13 minutes to get there.Takes me 3 - 3/12 hours to clean the place - which is basically walking (Emptying trash from bin to bin, vaccumming the place, basic cleaning etc) Id say id do 2 miles of walking through out the entire place. Then i ride my bike home which is another mile. Im not dieting but i DO watch what i eat. Im eating alot less junk - drinking more water. Im used to eating alot of junk at night before bed but i stopped that. I learned that when im itching for a snack, i can drink water instead and i get full. Id drink about 3/4 of a gallon everyday. Question is - Do you think i would lose weight? Im only 16 and i dont want to diet because its like i cook my own food. If i lived by myself then thats a different story. But I was on the scale and i lost 12 lbs already which i know is all water...Also im not gonna look at the scale because it can be discouraging. Instead - hopefully ill go by my clothes. Feeling whats getting loose. Do you think id see an improvement on my health? Thanks!

Answer 1

definately!! I commend you for riding your bike there and back, I do that to the gym sometimes and it's a great warm up...

as for losing weight I think you could average 2-3 lbs a week. if you want to build some muscle too grab some 5-10 lb weights to tone your arms. do basic exercises :)

drinking lots of water is good, but too much can actually be not so good(as studies are starting to show) as you are peeing constantly.

when I itch for a snack I look to celery, carrots and cucumber as they are healthy and have water in them. when I want something sweet I eat blueberries, pineapple and watermelon, sometimes when my budget allows I also get honeydew melon.

anyways, keep up the good work :)

Answer 3

Yes, going from what you did, to what you are doing now will most likely cause you to lose weight.

I would say you would go down to maybe 270, 250 at the lowest. Most of the extra weight (the extra 20 pounds or so) would come from diet.
