Answer

If you need to loose 100 pounds or 20 pounds in the next 3 months, read this post. If you have no health problems I think you could do this, but you will need to decrease your calorie intake and exercise. Write down what you eat each day, choose diet sodas and low calorie drinks. Eat 3 meals and at least 2 snacks. Get a calorie counter to help with the foods that don't have labels. Choose natural and whole foods over packaged foods. Choose whole grain breads and try to stay away from white foods(high in carbs, with little nutritional value)such as enriched products, sugars, and starchy veggies(corn, potatoes, white onions) . Eat fruits, veggies and salads. You'll get more food for the calorie too. Meat servings are 3-4 ounces or the size of a deck of cards. Chicken and fish (less calories and fat) are better options than pork and beef but don't limit to only one kind. Eat some raw veggies when you can as your body burns more calories digesting these foods("peel a pound" foods or "negative calorie" foods)Stick to 1500 calories a day unless weight loss slows, then drop to 1200 calories a day but never lower than this. Remember portion control and serving sizes! Counting calories gives you more food options, keeps you from getting bored and allows for the occasional treat without guilt. Drink 8 glasses of cold water a day. Ice water burns more calories. Use a 1 cup measuring cup and it won't seem like so much and try and drink one every hour. Get out and walk! Walking is easy to do at any pace and you can increase that pace as you loose weight and feel healthier. Walking cost nothing but your time and in order to loose weight, get healthy and feel good about yourself, you'll need to invest some time into yourself. Take the family dog along or invite a friend...or a parent. Get down in the floor and do some exercises. Anything and everything you do will burn calories, tone and tighten your muscles and skin. Don't sit in front of the TV or computer too often. The TV will make you want food when you watch all of the commercials! Don't eat at least 2 hours before bed. My mother use to tell me not to eat after 6pm. I was overweight at 14 too. Get up and get moving or keep busy. All the best to you!
