there is no way cuz ur to young. it would be harder to do it now then later. but if u want advice. try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

Do a colon cleansing, then drink lots of water while avoiding red meat, poultry skin, dark meat of chicken or turkey (avoid these, white meat is okay), eat five times as many greens without butter or adding salt.  To lose weight very fast you must avoid all oils, salts, fats and eat more, yes more, frequently.  Eat a small meal every two to three hours avoiding the above no no's, while drinking water only.  Also avoid caffine and fruit juice, bread, etc. and if you possibly can walk up to 45 minutes everyday.  Stop eating two to three hours before going to bed.\n\nThis should remove ten pounds in two weeks.  Good luck.

There really isn't a way to lose weight fast.  You want to lose fat, really, and your body cannot burn more than two pounds of fat per week.  If you lose weight faster than that it's either water weight (at the beginning of a diet) or muscle mass.  \n\nHere are some tips:\n\n1.  Walking is the best way to lose belly fat.  Buy a pedometer (about $5 at Wal-Mart for a cheap one) and count your steps.  Try to increase 1000 steps per day until you go over 10,000.  \n\n2.  Do some strength training, such as lifting weights.  This will help develop muscles.  A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat (and is about half the size).  You will burn more calories even when you are asleep.\n\n3.  At 230 lbs, your body requires about 2300 calories per day to maintain that weight.  You do not want to cut out too many calories, because your body will catabolize muscle before it will catabolize fat.  You don't want to destroy your muscles.  \n\nTry to cut about 500 calories per day from your diet.  Get a kitchen scale and really measure portions.  You'd be surprised how little a cup is, and how large your portion sizes are.  At that intake, you will lose about a pound a week just from your reduced calorie intake.  If you exercise, you will increase that.\n\n4.  Figure out what kind of an eater you are.  Some people can do portion control.  They can figure out what a 100-calorie portion of chocolate cake is and eat that, or eat 1/4 of a pint of reduced fat frozen yogurt.  I'm not one of those.  If I open the bag of M&M's, I will eat the bag of M&M's, whether it's a tiny little handful or a 1-lb bag.  I have learned that I have to eliminate foods that are unhealthy for me.  I can't buy chips, because I WILL open them, and then I WILL eat the whole bag.  Work with your eating patterns.  If you can pour out 1-oz of chips and eat them, indulge once a week.  If you can't, you're better off not buying the chips.\n\n5.  Focus your diet on whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean meats or fish, if you like them.  Fruit and veggies are your best friends.  \n\n6.  Drink at least two litres of water per day, and aim for four.  Your body stores fat as fatty acids.  In order to burn fat, it has to hang three fatty acid molecules onto a water molecule.  Without water, you can't lose weight.  Also, water fills you up.  Water can be flavored with sugar free drink mixes or sugar-free tea.  \n\n7.  Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.  That's when your body is dealing with the fat.  You can't lose weight if you don't sleep enough.\n\n8.  Educate yourself.  I highly recommend Susan Powter (her Stop the Insanity set is out of print but is sometimes available on eBay), Dean Ornish, Covert Bailey, and Pritikin.  Pritikin and Ornish are a little severe, but they are dealing with people who have serious coronary problems.  \n\n9.  Get support.  Consider joining a gym and finding a personal trainer.  Sometimes you can join a trainer's group and pay a lot less.  Weight Watchers is pretty good, but I'm a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it's helped a lot.  \n\n10.  DON'T GIVE UP.  If you "cheat" or skip a day of exercise, it's not the end of the world.  It's a minor set back, and if you stick to your diet/exercise plan for a year, no one will notice one chocolate bar or one day spent vegging on the couch.  It's the chocolate bar every day or the vegging every day that kills you.\n\nI'm dieting, too.  I've lost 15 pounds and one dress size in the last two months.  If you'd like to contact me, please do.

Compared to other girls your age and height, you weigh less than two out of three.  You are still growing, so you need to be careful not to lose weight.  Do you want to have a 13-year old body the rest of your life?\n\nYou need to focus on being active.  If you don't exercise a lot, then you don't have much muscle.  That means that any extra weight is fat.  Even skinny girls like you might have a soft tummy or extra flab on their legs or hips.\n\nInstead of your goal being to lose pounds, it should be to exercise 5 days a week.  Even just walking, riding a bike, jogging, or swimming for 30 minutes a day should be enough for you to tone your muscles.  Increased muscles also help burn calories 24/7, so you can pig out on ice cream and pizza once in a while without worrying about getting a pot belly.\n\nYou won't lose weight, but you'll have a more toned and more healthy body.  I'm guessing that is your goal, not just to be so skinny that you don't look good anymore.

Running is far more efficient. The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

A good meal plan to follow and lose weight quickly is the following:\n\n1) Drink 8 glasses of water/ day. Preferably 2 glasses before meals and the rest in between...or whatever works for you.\n\n2) Eat daily three portions of protein. I myself prefer to eat vegetarian protein rather than animal based protein. \n\nFor breakfast eat:\n2 eggs or 1 cup cottage cheese\n2 slices of whole wheat toast\n1 fruit\n2 glasses of water\nsome kind of fat--if you are not allergic to nuts, eat 8 almonds.\n\nSnack\nYou can eat a fruit or a cup of low fat yogurt\n\nLunch\nEat a salad with 1 cup of cucumbers, 1 cup of lettuce, 1 cup tomatoes or whatever vegetable all 1 cup, except for carrots--only 1/4 cup.\n4 slices of vegetarian bologna or a chicken breast\n2 slices of whole wheat bread\nno juice--you may drink iced tea with lemon.\n\n2nd Snack\nanother fruit\n(when snacking stay away from chips, chocolates--if you feel the need to eat something chocolaty, eat a cup of chocolate pudding (Huntz or Jello) if you want chips buy Quaker products, like rice cakes or rice tortilla chips. They are low fat, but very tasty!!!)\n\nDinner\nIncorporate whatever you like, but remember that your plate must be divided into 30% protein, 30% fat and 40%carbohydrates. A typical dinner would be 1 chicken breast, salad and 1/4 cup brown rice.\nIced tea.\n\nSnack 3\n1 cup of popcorn or a glass of milk.\n\nFollow this plan for a week and you'll see the difference =)\nBest regards.

Exercise and start calorie counting. Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good. If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

The best way is to exercise, and eat a low fat AND low carb diet. Eat lean protein, vegetables and drink plenty of water. No soda, and switch to skim milk. Also, take a daily supplement since some vitamins can help you. I have heard from experts that the slim-fast diet is effective, and the new Optima shakes do hold me over for awhile, but I can only stand to drink the vanilla flavor personally, so that gets old. \n\nTry limiting the calories you eat to approx. 1500 or so, and work out. Walk everywhere, if you have the choice of stairs or elevator, take stairs always. park far away from the grocery store and walk it. Do an exercise routine daily, no less then half an hour of cardio every other day mixed with a work out like pilates to gain lean muscle (which boosts your metabolism). I lost 30 pounds in two months by sticking to a somewhat strict diet (if you deprive yourself every day, it is hard to stick to) Experts now say have one day a week you can splurge a little to make it easier, and the rest of the week, stick to a strict diet. \n\nA sample day for me is:\n\nBreakfast: Slim-Fast shake and fruit or, Yogurt and strawberry Oatmeal made with skim milk and no suger. Green tea with honey helps boost your metabolism to some say. \n\nLunch: Salad, Fruit, lean meat like a chicken breast sandwich (Subway might be a good place to go if you eat out often). Water to drink. \n\nDinner: Lean meat and vegetable. Cook in olive oil preferably, it is better for you. \n\nSnacks: Fruit, low-fat yogurt, those 100 calories packs, low-fat pudding (this stuff is a life saver on days I need sweets) and anything less the 200 calories. Experts say you should eat something every 4 hours to maintain your metabolism, but make them light snacks, not potato chips and cookies.\n\nFor the fun part, add a work out a night. Mix it up though. Try to get in at least a half hour of working out. I use the Carmen Electra Stripaerobics tapes, they are fun, or I choose to dance or swim for cardio. Then I do pilates on alternate days.

exercise & fewer calories. that's the only way to lose weight and it's not going to come off in one day. you will only lose 2-3 pounds per week, sometimes even just one pound, but dont give up, it will be worth it in the end.\nstart out with a warm up:\ni usually touch my toes while sitting down, legs straight for atleast 30 seconds, to help loosen up, then 3 sets of lifting one leg and both arms up at the same time, 8 times for each leg, switching legs after i do 8. Then, i do 20 sit ups, 40 jumping jacks, and 10 crunches on each side. Then i run up and down my stairs as many times as i can, which is usually 7 unless i take a break lol. then i get on the tredmill and just go for 25 minutes. i try to run for atleast 4 minutes everytime but u might have to work up your running time. then i do a jogging speed for the other 21 minutes. i'm going to try this thing where you run for 30 secs, walk for 30, run 30, etc. for 8 minutes. this will help you increase ur running ability. after that, go back and do atleast 20 more sit ups and touch your toes for 30 seconds again, and you'll be done. considering that you weigh 166, try to consume atleast 1,200-1,300 calories per day. make sure they are HEALTHY calories though, meaning no junk. you can splurge maybe once a week. have lots of fruits and veggies on hand. good luck!

Think about it...if diet pills worked, would there be any fat people??  No way!  Now for your age, I'd say all you need to do is eat correct portions, stop the fast food and drink alot of water (no sodas) and up your activity to about 30 minutes a day.  And you can do that in 10 minute incriments.  Say you ride a bike for 10 minutes, then walk 10 minutes, then go walking in the mall for 10 minutes....it all adds up to 30 minutes and is the same as doing 30 min. at the time.  Look up "Exchange Diet " on line and you'll find one that will fit your life style.  You have to burn up 3500 calories in order to lose a pound.  So if you're losing 1-3 pounds a week, you're doing good.  Just stick to a wholesome variety of whole grains, fresh fruit/veggies and lean meats and the moderate activity and the pounds will melt off.  Don't be so hard on yourself.  If you lose just 5 lbs. that will be a great accomplishment!  God bless!

I gotta tell you...  I see a lot of this "I'm [however many] years old and I weigh [however many] pounds," and it drives me crazy.  The absolute first thing you need to consider is your height and build, NOT your age.  I weighed 150 pounds at age TEN.  I also haven't grown since I was 11, so some of us are ALLOWED to be BIG.\nAt 13, you're old enough to run off and do a few things on your own, so over the summer, take your bike out for nice long rides and spend time at the pool.  You could also go hang out at the YMCA, like we used to, and play racquetball a couple times a week.  Get with a buddy and start walking and/or jogging in the evenings.  If you stay physically active during the summer, you may put yourself in a spot to join a team of some sort when school starts.  Track is a good one, as it keeps the muscles toned.\nDon't worry if you start eating a lot when you work out more.  It's just your metabolism doing its thing.  As you increase your muscle mass, your body will burn more calories, so you may have to pig out to compensate.  Just don't overdo the excessively greasy, chocolatey, or cheesy foods, go for diet sodas or WATER (flavored if you want), and be sure to grub on some fruit & veggies once in a while.\n\nOh, and if you ARE overweight and you KNOW it, just start with the biking & healthy eating.  You're young enough to fix it, and it won't take forever.

The fastest way to lose weight is diet and exercise. Plenty of exercise is fast. You need to go to the library and check out some books on nutrition. You don't want to do a harsh diet and hurt your body from nutrients and vitamins. Bake all your meat, nothing fried, green vegetables and plenty of water. Good luck
