EATING LOTS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WOULD BE YOUR BETTER BET, YOU DON'T WANT TO DEPRIVE YOUR BODY OF IMPORTANT VITIAMINS AND MINERALS. YOU ARE ACTIVE IN SPORTS SO YOU WILL GET THE EXERCISE YOU NEED ALSO. GOOD LUCK

I used to be very thin.  I got no girls and the guys all thought I was weak even though I was actually pretty healthy and strong. \n\nAnyway, I stopped smoking cigarettes, and I started going to the gym.  I went kind of crazy but I recommend you go pretty heavy but slow and reasonable.  \n\nGet yourself a basic book on bodybuilding.  Basic!  \n\nDon't worry about supplements but here is the secret which made me gain 5o pounds in 5 months.  Eat like you are crazy.  \n\nI don't mean big amounts at one time but if you consume 800 quality calories every hour(set an alarm).\n\nI ate normal foods.  But absolutley not chocolate or candy.  This stuff will burn off too quickly.\n\nI ate alot of chicken sandwiches with cheese and monster cheese burgers. Fried chicken, potato salad.  Vegetables are important but eat those last after you ate some heavy stuff.  \n\nAnd finally, don't go overboard.  Thin people look really cool in their clothes.  And later in life you will be happy to be thin and probably increase you life span by staying thin.  \n\nBut, right now you want chics and that is understandable.  Put on about 15 kilos and be done with it.  You won't lose it again after you gain it.\n\nI am glad I put on wieght, but right now I have a nice middle sized body and I am not sef conscious at all.  \n\nAlso, get somoe cool clothes.  You don't have to spend a lot of money but try to fashion it up a bit.  \n\nAnd also, getting girls is a numbers game.  You said you don't "attract" the girls.  How do you know?  Anyway, it doesn't normally work like that.  You have to be proactive and learn that if you get rejected, that is just one more rejection closer to the one(or two) that are going to say OK.\n\nAlso, you are pretty young.  Girls your age are somtimes pretty shallow.  They care about cars, money, popularity, etc.  The wonderful thing about those kind is that they are very easy to manipulate once you finally turn the tables. \n\nAnd you won't feel guilty about manipulating them.  They are bitches right?\n\nBut don't treat the nice ones bad.  Treat them nice and appreciate them.  But, always kind of keep in mind that you could get burned by a chic that you really like.  If you are prepared for it and realize that there is always another one then this won't hurt you.\n\nWomen sometimes call us pigs but sometimes they create the loathsome woman-haters by showing themselves to be unworthy of a man's sincerety.  It works the other way too.\n\nGirls your age would prefer to get the shalloe glory from telling their friends who they rejected, than to just actually have a boyfriend and be getting shagged.  \n\nBut later, after about age 25, if you haven't already turned the tables then the table will turn automatically.\n\nThey will be getting fat and old and leeching for a man to marry.  While a man usually just gets more distinguished looking with age.  And you, you will be your tall svelt self, and buddy, you will be dangerous.

Hello. My name is Adam and I am a former Mr Arkansas and fitness trainer. I do have experience dropping weight for events. Well, first of all there is no need to worry too much at your age. You should be able to get your weight down fairly quickly. Your body is going through a lot of physical changes so don't ever feel like you're going to be stuck with 80 extra pounds the rest of your life. The good news is... you can loose the weight!!!\nThe best way to loose weight fast is to cut your cards. Don't listen to critics of this diet. I can tell you, from EXPERIENCE, that it works. The biggest myth to this diet is that you can eat as much meat as you want as long as you don't eat cards. Wrong!!! In order to loose the amount of weight that you are talking about will require low fat meat and absolutely NO sugars (example – ham, turkey, chicken). Yes, that's right. It means no pastas, breads, fruits, soda, and absolutely no alcohol etc....\nI can tell you that this diet is extremely difficult to get started because of all the temptation out there. With the great holiday food coming around it’s going to be difficult to keep the discipline that you will need. Discipline is the key!!!! If you can get past the first two weeks then it is very, very easy to maintain. But those first two weeks are really tough. So, what would a typical meal look like? Breakfast – 4 eggs (with one egg yoke), and 3 pieces of turkey bacon. I like to sprinkle a little season salt on the eggs for a great flavor. Lunch – 1 piece of meat and a low carb veggie. Dinner – (always) boneless/skinless chicken breast and veggie. There are a hundred ways to cook all of these so that it is not soooo monotonous. For instance, sometimes at dinner I’ll cut up the chicken breast and fry it with onions and green peppers in olive oil and put it on a salad, just make sure the dressing is low carb. If you search online I’m sure you can find many ways to cook a low carb meal. \nThe next step is exercise. This doesn’t mean running 5 miles a day. It only means walking for at least 50 minutes every morning and working out with light weights 2-3 days per week. Walking at a fast pace on an incline burns almost as many calories as jogging, and I for one hate running. Kill the time by watching TV or listening to an audio book on your ipod while you walk. Doing this in the morning is the key!!!! Your body doesn’t have any spare carbs that it might have gotten from the food you’ve been eating, so your body burns every calorie from your fat storage. So while you’re walking just remember that you are 100% burning off the fat. It’ll get you excited!!!! \nAll of this boils down to how bad you want to loose the weight. Like I said before, the hardest part is getting past the first two weeks. After that, you are going to be so excited because you will literally see your body changing every week. \nPlease feel free to IM me if you have any questions. I would love to hear your progress. You can do it!!!\n\nRegards,\n Adam

Well, if you reward yourself or get rewarded by someone else, that always helps. I am on a diet right now and my Mom said that if I could lose the weight that I wanted to lose before school starts, then she would give me $1000 for a brand new wardrobe. That is a lot of incentive for me to lose the weight. I will also eat fun foods that are good for you. It's easier to eat salad, fruit, and low fat ice cream when its hot outside, so that is basically what I do. I have also tried to find some other hobbies besides being at my job that keep me preoccupied and not thinking about eating. Just stick to eating salads all the time! They taste good and they are good for you!

Answer is something like 800-1200 kcal, but that`s not the point, if you wanna stay or get slim.\n\nHave you ever heard a montignac diet? It`s about avoiding food stuff that contain colhydrates more than 35 %\n\nYou`ll loose weight even if you eat normal amounts, as long as they dont contain things like potatoes, wheat, bread, rice, corn, sugar etc.\n\nYou see, it`s not about calories, it` sabout body insuline and eating only the kind of food that wont make it more.\n\nthose are for example: cheeses, yoghurts, real meat, fruits, vedgetables, and even dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream is ok...\n\ngoogle it and find out what it`s really about...

You can eat lots of fruits and vegetables and feel full, but you'll be eating *very little* calories, and ZERO fat grams! This is a great way to lose weight, and as for protein to keep you healthy, you can drink Skim Milk (it is fat free and only has about 80 calories per glass)\n\nSo just eating a diet of skim milk, fruits and veggies..you'll never be hungry, and you'll be SO THIN!!\n\nAlso V8 veggie juice is great!\n ~fat free crackers are great!\n ~fat free lunch meat is great!(YES, they now make fat free hot dogs, bologna, ham, turkey, chicken, thinly sliced  deli meat)\n\nYou can be annorexic and still be healthy! It's true! and don't let anyone tell you any different.\n\nP.S. Remember to take a daily multi-vitamin and drink a gallon of water a day

First of all, I agree with many of the others that 122 at 5'3" is not an unhealthy weight, unless you have an extremely small body frame, or the weight is all fat and little muscle.  Secondly, a "few" pounds isn't 22 pounds, I'd say more like 5 or 10. \nIf you really want to lose a little weight, you need to do it slowly. Never drop your intake below 1200-1500 calories, because your body will actually adjust into a starvation mode, and your metabolism will slow down. It's best to break these calories up throughout the day, say eating 5-6 times a day, 200-300 calories at a time.  And, most importantly, EXERCISE! Walk, Run, Swim, Bike, whatever. Just keep moving. I am your height, and about 10 pounds less and I can eat tons because I run almost every day. Exercise is key.\n\nOne last thing-- if you ever get to a point in your weight-loss where your lose your period, you need to eat more!

decent diet and good exercise

sounds like you have a good plan going. it is good you are engaging in jogging three times a week, but the other days, i challenge you to do something active. not more jogging, but perhaps walking more (since being at school is a very sedentary activity). Just keep in mind that losing 1-2 lbs per week is a healthy weight loss goal. (if you lose more, its just water, and run the risk of becoming dehyrdated)\ngood luck!

The summer is coming up quick so you don’t have long.  But one to two months is all you need if you do it right.  I’m assuming you’re not huge, because in that case it probably would take some time.  But for someone who has the winter padding on, you should be fine.  You don’t have to go to the gym but for the best results definitely jog/run 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes or more.  Doing less isn’t much benefit, so make sure to run or jog at a pace you can keep up for 30 minutes.  And warm up and stretch properly, with winter inactivity it’s very important.  And as far as food goes, make sure to eat breakfast, with mostly fruits and maybe some yogurt or small piece of toast.  Avoid high carbs like bagels and muffins.  A lot of people avoid breakfast but it really is important, gets your metabolism going throughout the day.  And also eat a lot of small meals, 4-5 if possible.  The worst mistake people make is avoiding breakfast and starving themselves all day only to gorge themselves at dinner time.  Dinner should be a very small meal.  You know what types of things are bad to eat and how much to eat, just try to cut down.  Try and stick with a level you can keep up.  Hope this helps, see you at the beach!

Not really, just gotta buckle down and be disciplined.  It's a good chance to better yourself physically and mentally.  Talk to a nutritionists and someone with a degree in exercise science to get you on the right track to meet your goals.

No don't go there how can it be healthy and maintainable if it's out of a box. I have a plan that will definately work for you and can easily fit into anyones lifestyle. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

I believe so... The most important of all is the breakfast.To stay healthy,have a heavy breakfast,moderate lunch and a very light dinner.That's the best way to go.

as a snack between meals, it would be good instead of junk snacks. Don't add sugar to it and use 8 oz of low fat or 2% milk. Study shows when you drink milk it helps you keep a lower weight and less body fat. Have an exercise plan as well, walk at least 3-4 times a week for 20 mins or more and then increase if possible, measure your servings, drink water. You'll do good. I hope this helps. I used this and I lost 10 lbs in 6 wks. Remember, everyone is different and you may as well loose less or more. Just dont give up.

I'd recommend the Hollywood diet to you. For two days you drink only water and the juice they make. They say you can lose ten pounds during that time, if you continue to eat right it will stay off. I tried it and didn't have any difficulty doing it and lost about 8 pounds and it is still off. It doesn't taste bad at all. Plus, after doing it I really feel better than before I started. It is supposed to remove the toxins from your system. I really do think it works. I have more energy, I'm not as depressed and I am not as tired as I was before.\n\nSorry, I don't know anything about Trim Spa. But this is just a suggestion since you don't have much to lose.

that is a decent amount of exercise.. it doesn't mean that you will lose weight.. if you eat more then you consume.. or equal... you will just stay the same, or get fatter.. you need to do more then just exercise a little
