couple things i want to emphasize


1-because of your age you could get very good results, starting at 13 is alot better than 35
2-any thyroid problems?
3-it will take time, you say you want to loose it fast-realistically it will take around a year and a half to loose that weight the right way, and not overdo it and burn out. However if you do something every weekday and rest two days a week its the best option. Being fit and healty at 16-17 in highschool, aim for that, and you will look great. Consistency not intensity is the key here.
4-i believe about 70% of weight loss should come from the diet and 30% from exercise, dont overlook the diet, but treat yourself once in a while (as in once or twice per week in small amounts) with some chocolate or whatever you like.

good luck

Hi Litelle! Kudos to you for making the decision to make some changes in your life - creating good habits now will benefit you for the rest of your life. I focused mostly on changing my eating habits to begin with - I gained my weight even though i was really active. I know you said you don't eat fatty foods, but it could be that the quantity of what you'rea eating has contributed to the weight. It might be a good idea to track what you regularly eat for a week or so - you might be surprised. I know I always thought I ate really well and i was shocked to find out that even though I didn't eat much junk food, I was eating WAY too much in general. As for your parents - maybe it would be a good idea to have you and your parents visit a dietician together, so they can understand what you need to be doing, and so that they realize that pushing you too hard isn't going to help. I also suggest a dietician because you're young, and if you're going to work out a lot you might need specific nutrients. All in all, though, it sounds like you've got a good handle on this - I hope to see you on the successes board soon!

congrats... i know its the excersise that makes the big difference. Keep us posted, the gym is where i really need to be!...

Don't forget to get enough sleep! Getting a good rest is crutial to avoid weight gain. And it's good to do cardio every day, you don't have to hit the gym for that, it can simply be a nice walk with the dog or a frisbee game with a friend or sibling-- as long as you're moving! But for weight training, do it every other day, your muscles need to rest too to become stronger, don't over do it or you'll injure yourself. Oh and one more thing, I noticed a lot of people go insane on the workouts they do for thier ab area. 400 crunches a day isn't going to help them be flat. Your abdominals are just like any other muscle, would you do 400 biscep curls for your arms? Hope these helped, good luck and no matter what, don't give up! The hardest part in losing weight is starting.
