What you have to do is make your weight loss part of just having a healthier lifestyle.\n\nDiet and fitness work together toward a healthy lifestyle. Changing your diet and your level of fitness is what can change the way you look and feel. The best way to lose weight is about living a healthier life than what you may be living now. You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed.\n\nThe body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.\n\nThere will be 5 basic elements you need to adjust to have a healthy lifestyle.\nThey are:\n\n1. Your Eating\n2. Your Water Intake\n3. Maintaining a balance of cardio and resistance exercise\n4. Smart supplementation\n5. Sleeping the best amount of time

The only smart way to "lose weight" is to eat right and exercise.\n\nActually, you should be eating 5-6 small meals every day versus larger meals.

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.

Dude is right. Toss out sodas, chips, cookies. Turn off TV and computer, excercise together.  Get whole grain cereal. No fast food. Even if the teen doesn't like veggies, keep offering. Mini carrots are an easy introduction to veggies.\n\nI am assuming that the teen has been seen by a doctor who has measuered height/weight etc. Try to enlist the doctor's help. Be sure that your opinion of the teen's situation is backed up medically.  Some parents become overly concerned about weight issues.\n\nIf your family needs to chage, do it as a team.  It is tough to change, but it is also very difficult to be overweight.  Show your love and support. Your job as (parent?) is to teach survival skills and lead this person into a health adulthood.

The best answer to weight loss is something that you (and almost all of America) do not want to hear; The best way to lose wieght is to simply excercise, I'm not try to be rude and you may excercise already. However a key part is knowing whether or not you are healthy. If you are healthy and merely trying to lose weight for apperance then you are hurting your body. Your body know what it wants, trust it from time to time and you may just realize that it knows best when it comes to food. If you are hungry eat, that is the way it is meant to be. Now there are exceptions to the rule like there is with anything, people that overeat and still don't fill satisifed have a genuine problem that they need to consult their doctor about. Unless you are one of these people then I would suggest eating regularly and excercising, it's the best thing you can do to be healthy.

Do the healthy thing and just reduce your intake and become more active.\n\nDon't get sucked into the marketing propaganda machine of companies that just want your money and don't give a damn about how you look, feel or about your health.\n\nRapid weight loss is a fool's errand.  You're 15 and you are growing.  Eat healthy, be healthy and be active.  Help Mom around the house, do some sort of sports, run!\n\nHave a good life!

Diet and Exercise.\n\nActually, just focus on a healthy lifestyle first.  There are several easy ways to get healthy.\n\n1.  Drink lots of water.  Most people don't drink enough water.  If you drink soda, stop drinking soda.  That's just full of empty calories.\n\n2.  Work out.  If you don't have time to work out.  Park your car further out in the parking lot, don't use the remote, take the stairs, use the long way to make yourself work out more.\n\n3.  Eat fruits and vegetables.  Not only are they good for you but they can also help clean out your system to get rid of wastes (which will help you lose weight.).\n\nThat should help you out.  Also, you can see a doctor but don't ask for diet pills or anything drastic unless you need it to save your life.

the easiest thing for you to do is be your own dietician and trainer.  Go to the bookstore and read up on stuff.  most sites, even if you don't have to pay, are going to be aimed at people over 18.  Its hard for a internet program to be accurate with teens cause each one is so different and is changing.  \n\nthe basic rules are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. No alcohol if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym even if its just for a month or two to educate yourself. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Good Luck!

Eat healthy and exercise! \nIt's healthiest to aim to lose 1-2 pounds of fat a week. 1pound of fat is worth 3500 calories...Soo...if you burn 500 calories through exercise everyday, you can lose a pound of fat a week without changing your diet at all! If you cut back your calories by 500 everyday, then you can lose an additional pound every week. Don't cut your calories too low or your metabolism will shut down. Make sure you eat at least 1200 calories a day. \nIt's best to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water and avoid food/drinks that are high in sugar. Also make sure most of your carbs are coming from whole grains, rather than white flour...whole grains are high in fiber and protein and they're good for your heart!

Well, you're never gonna be scrawny, but I don't think it'd take much to get you in shape. You could lay off the carbs (bread, pasta, etc..) but starvation is DEFINITELY not the answer for you, especially at your age. The less you eat, the more you teach your body to get more nutrition out of less food, and then you have to starve yourself for the rest of your life. \n\nI think exercise would be best. Start with jogging in place, maybe jumping rope, move on to pushups, sit-ups and chin-ups. Jumping rope, for anybody that's capable of it, is a really good exercise. \n\nIf you don't want to get too much attention, try exercising in the basement or garage. Harder to hear feet hitting the floor if the floor's made of concrete, and sometimes you just don't want parents involved in your personal decisions (I have daughter that's 14).\n\nYou may need motivation. You're a guy, right? Take off your shirt and take a picture of yourself. Tape it up on the inside of your bedroom door. That way whoever comes in never sees it, unless they close the door behind them. If you share a bedroom with someone, maybe tape it inside a folder or book, or something.\n\nI'm not a big fan of going to the gym. Too many people looking down their noses at me. Right now I have a job that keeps me in shape, because when I get home I'm just lazy. When I was your age I had a paper route, and was on the swim team.\n\nAnd of course, the thing I say to everybody that's unhappy with their weight:\n\nDon't look at the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat. If you can feel good about yourself when you look in the mirror, you've reached your goal.

The quickest and easiest way to lose weight at ANY AGE is simply to lessen your intake of food. Short of doing this, you may lose weight, but it will come back, as soon as you revert to your old eating habits. As simple as this sounds, the reason why this doesn't work very well is, because a lot of people lack will power.

For losing weight:  Drink a glass of grapefruit juice every morning and then eat 4 or 5 SMALL meals a day (instead of eating one or two medium meals).  Make sure you make smart choices for your food (low sugar, fat and carbohydrates).\n\nMake sure you exercise at least 20 minutes a day - even if it is just a leisurely walk (the brisker the exercise, the better, however).  Also, when walking in your daily routine, take the longer way around.  This will burn more calories per day and they will add up at the end of the week.\n\nFor growing taller:  Depending on your age, you can use HGH (human growth hormone).  If you have stopped growing already (in girls, about 13 years old), there isn't much you can do but get comfortable with your height.  HGH doesn't work unless you are still growing anyway.  Either way, consult your doctor before taking anything like HGH.\n\nGood luck.
