Weight problem...How can I lose some?

Question

I'm 13 about 5" and between 130 and 140 lbs...I'm not totally sure but I know its around there. I am totally un-confidant about myself and self-conscious. I start school in a week and I want to lose at least a little bit before school...Even though I know I cant lose a lot in a short amount of time, I do want to lose weight over time. I want to get my weight down to about 115 lbs cause I'm not really into the super skinny look... People tell me I shouldn't diet, that I should only eat less of the foods I already eat. I know I can cut out some things, but what other things can I do? I can't really exercise because my house is really really small and there is no room to stretch, accept for 100 push ups on my bed or cramped up on the floor. I've always wanted to go running around the block but I live in an extremely dangerous area and I don't want to go out alone, but no one will come with me...and my dad won't fix my bike or take me swimming, witch I love to do.

I am extremly picky...which annoys my family. I dont like eggs, beans, some meats, tofu :p, green beans, peppers, dill e.t.c.

Answer 1

You're not even that big at all really. Whether you're 140lbs or 500lbs it doesn't matter. People generally don't care whether you're fat or skinny. Some people do pick on bigger people, in the younger years of high school but that's just because they feel self-conscious about themselves though anyway. And to be honest you can't lose much weight in 1 week. Also you won't have to wait to long for your growth spurts then you'll thin right out. Hope this even remotely helped =)  

Answer 2

im 13, 140 pounds and 5"5

i used to be really self conscious, and would go days eating very unhealthily - but it put my body in starvation mode and i only gained weight. 1 week ago i started going to the gym about 4 days a week, and i've already lost 5 pounds. Exercise is the key. Just eat healhty (1,500 - 2,500 calories a day) and exercise 3 to 5 days a week.

Cardio is the fastest way to burn calories (running, jump rope, ect.)

pushups wont help you lose weight. get a jumprope and skip it for as long as you can.

have someone else fix your bike, or learn how to fix it yourself. Some people just have bigger bodies in terms of muscle and bone structure.

Dont pick a number you want your weight to be, its about how you look and feel. Anyways, muscle weighs more the fat.

Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experience weight loss. It is for this reason why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will surely trim down those fats and get a super slim head turner body.

The first thing that an over-weight should do is seek a doctor to recommend the best weight loss regimen. This will be done after a full physical examination, which leads to the determination of proper weight loss technique. And to lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.

Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight's life:

First: Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique that consists mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that can easily be accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Second: Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. With discipline and proper mind set, a dieter will never be discouraged and lose focus.

Third: Listen as the body speaks. Each and everyone's body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body's reaction. Exercise program must be suitable to one's body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fats so it's also best to put on a little muscle and looking good too.

Fourth: Eat more fibers for it makes a person full sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes the body's insulin level. Thus, making the body more energized and ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing.

Fifth: Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when a beef is fried. It is recommended for those on strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contain less amount of fat after the food is cooked.

Sixth: Takes lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to a rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, workout, and right amount of supplementation applied in a regular way everyday will result in faster weight loss than having a massive action only to be followed a return to old habits as this would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan has started.

Answer 5

Is there a playground in the area. Going on the swings and running around there is good exercise.

Eat less of the foods you want, and modify some. Weight Watchers has a recipe for 1 point cake that uses boxed cake mix and diet soda instead of eggs. oil, and water. If you really want something more specific (like a meal from a fast food place), get the smaller size.  

Answer 6

Keep your daily calorie consumption no more than 1500.  As for exercise, include sit-ups and jogging on the spot to compensate for not being able to go out.

Answer 7

okay. first off change your diet. your goal weight is and your current weight is 135 so now you times your weight x10 and add it again to the sum of 1350 = 1485..thats the amount of calories you should be eating now but since you are planning to lose weight i would little by little take away maybe 100 calories a week until it reaches 1265 which is how much calories you are suppose to eat at 115 pounds since you are unactive. I would also work out a bit..your bed is a fine place to work out and do plenty pushups, situps, leg excersizes and bunch more. i always do them before i go to sleep. and also in your 1485 calories you are only to eat healthy filling foods like a bunch of greens, eggs, fruits and veggies. good luck!

Answer 8

You could get a Yoga ball, those are great!!! Also if you are really picky with your foods the way they are cooked "American" style, try looking at other ways to cook them. Like I don't like egg whites, So i strain it and just eat the yolk. (I don't like beans either) tofu is ok if you marinade if with something you really like, and grill it. green beans, fresh lightly seasoned with some terriaki or stirfry sauce. throw them on the grill or in a skillet. Also if you can afford it, there is an amazing plan with Shaklee, that is completely healthy and no harsh chemicals that you find in slackers etc. It is called the Cinch program. You should check it out at Shaklee.com. hope this helps babe and good luck.

Answer 10

100 pushups isn't going to get you anywhere, and you're going to have to try new foods until you find more that you like.  My youngest son is extremely picky, and he gets himself a carrot from the fridge (a big one, he doesn't like baby cut carrots) to eat with dinner if he doesn't like the veggies I've prepared.  If he can do that at 7, you can take steps to feed yourself more nutritiously.  As basic advice, here goes...

Cardio - whatever you like (treadmill, outside walking, elliptical, stairmaster, bike, swimming), as long as you're not overdoing it, but feel a little sweaty and good after. Aim for 30 mins 3-4 times a week.

Strength - lift, lift, lift! Pick up a fitness magazine (oxygen preferably, shape if you can't get oxygen), get some 5lb weights, and follow the routines in there - they'll tell you what and how much to do. It's a good way to start.

Eats - don't skip meals. Protein, complex carbs (google that term if you need to), and plenty of fruits and veggies. Aim for 2 cups of fruit and 3 cups of veggies per day. Give yourself a cheat meal once a week if it helps - but be careful within that - if you're craving McD's, just get a happy meal, if you would like to devour a DQ blizzard, get a small one. You may find that a cheat meal derails your efforts, so it's only something to think about. You may also find that 100 calories of junk per day helps - and there are lots of fudgesicles, or 100 calorie packs of snack foods out there. Again, you may find that it's a trigger to keep on eating, but they're just ideas.

Water - lots.

Sleep - regular.

Answer 12

I am also your age and I'd say I'm pretty fit (I play 8 sports).

Here's what you do:

Dieting--

-Eliminate soda from your diet and other junk food.

-Eat every 3 hours to keep your matabolism running (eat a cheese stick or something low on carbs that will fill you up)

-Drink only water, no other beverage (Milk is okay though)

-Stay away from steak, eggs, and products that are high on fat

-Have fish and green vegetables at every meal

-Have at least 2 cups of fruit daily

Conditioning--

-Time yourself for a minute and see how many push ups you can do

(Aim around 25 push ups per minute)

-See how many push ups you can do before tiring

(Aim around 50 push ups)

-Time yourself for a minute and see how many sit ups you can do

(Aim around 50 per minute)

-See how many sit ups you can do before tiring

(Aim around 100 sit ups)

-Buy an 8lb dumbbell weight and do 20 bicep curls

-Go to your bed and do vertical push ups (lean against your bed so your body is at an angle)

** Do these daily and you will see results!
