Help me lose weight :(?

Question

I'm 17 years old size 18 and currently weighing in at 15stone, and im terrified im going to get bigger.
I am getting so upset and depresed about the way I look, I hate it so much!!!
The worst thing is I constantly keep getting cravings for junk food, chocolate, sweets, biscuits everything really that's unhealthy.
I've tried basic diet, but nothing seems to work.
I really wanted to be a size 14 by march (for my birthday) but I really don't think it's going to happen.

I need some tips or ideas for the best diet/weight loss program, and how can I stop getting these constant cravings.
Please someone help, I'm running out of time!

Feel free to be as blunt or honest as you want. I just want some support or help!

Answer 1

I weighed 298 pounds and craved the same foods you do. But I decided I was tired of letting food control my life. I thought "How stupid is this that I'm letting a little thing like food RUIN my life?"



So I cut out all the fat and sugar I could. I ate a strict diet of fruits, veggies, lean meats (fish, grilled chicken, turkey) and whole grains. For a snack I had raw almonds.



I started running four days a week (1.7 miles) and light weight lifting two days a week.



In 7 months I lost 110 pounds down to 188 pounds. My secret was you stick to this plan HARDCORE and NEVER let yourself cheat. Any indulging for me would have put me right back where I started.



I don't know if you believe in God, but for the first time in a hundred diet attempts, I asked God to help me. He did, and I give him all the credit and the glory.



Good luck.

Answer 2

I'm not going to try and be considerate here.



Your body weight...like all others, is controlled by a simple equation;



Calories in - Calories out = Stored calories of fat



That means you have two options, none of which are pleasant, both of them will bring some pain.

They are; Reduce Calorie consumption (diet) and Increase exercise.

Any other solution of losing weight other than an operation won't work. This is a fact.



Some tips for dieting;



-post a note or a picture that will remind you of your goal on the fridge and cupboard.

-eat a piece of gum or drink water when you are hungry between meals.

-join a group such as weight watchers or diet with a friend who will support you.

-make a meal plan for every day and follow it.

-don't buy soft drinks and junk food and throw away those that you keep at home.

-eat a fruit instead of junk food.

-etc.



Tips for exercise;



-walk or bike every chance you get.

-join a gym and/or get a trainer.

-play sports

-go for a walk before or after school/work every day

-practice endurance training (a type of weight lifting that doesn't gain a lot of muscle mass)

-etc.



This requires a lot of willpower, it truly is a case of mind over matter. Just remember that even though you get headaches from hunger, you won't faint or get sick. This is just a trick your body is playing on you...learn to deal with it. There is no easy way or method of getting cravings to disappear, you will have to suffer in order to get better. Write down your objectives and stick it to your bedroom or office wall, think about it every day.



This may seem extreme but it is the only way to lose weight.

I wish you luck and hope you achieve your goals.

I really do feel sorry for you because i know how weights can slowly creep up on you without even realising and by the time you realise how much you have gained you have alot to loose. Im also 17 and started a diet 2 week ago and have so far lost half a stone, although i haven't done it the most healthiest of way (low fat yogurt for breakfast, slim fast shake for dinner, normal meal for tea but a smaller portion) although i do still have a takeaway on a weekend and go out for a meal. When i started out i weighed 13 stone 3 pounds and a size 14/16 and felt really unhappy with my self, my aim if to loose to and half stone by july for my holiday.

Like you i got constant cravings to eat everything! but i just couldn't stand to get any bigger, the first week of my diet was really hard and i did give in to the odd bit of Chocolate as i don't have Alto of will power however this week as been completely different i don't have the craving half as much and seeing me loose half a stone in just 2 weeks as gave me alot of Inspiration!

Good luck to you and just keep imagining yourself the size 14, you want to be! I think you'll be able to achieve your goal if you really try, they recommend you can loose 2 and half pound a week so you could loose over a stone by your birthday at least xx

Answer 4

There are many good weight loss programs out there. You just need to find the one that fits in with your lifestyle and motivation. Some are designed for rapid weight loss and others employ a slower long term approach. You can find a lot of help on the web these days, information and support forums. I listed some popular sources that might help you.

Answer 5

The hardest part about losing weight is to get yourself on a schedule. You need to start exercising at least 30 mins 5 times a week. You also need to eat 6 mini-meals a day. You should keep them healthy; lean meats, veges, and fruits. Cut out sodas and only let yourself eat junk food once a week. Your the only one who can make yourself do this, it probably sounds hard but how bad do you want to lose weight?

Answer 6

I sympathise with you, I was in a similar position myself. There is no secret to losing weight despite what the 'experts' tell you, everyone knows how. We all get cravings, that's natural. The human is evolutionarily designed to binge when food is plentiful, which in modern life with supermarkets etc is all the time. To combat this, the trick is exercise. You can eat anything you want assuming you exercise enough. Once you start upping the exercise, you'll feel better within yourself, which helps reinforce your exercise efforts etc etc. I know it's hard to begin, but stick with it. Try not to set specific date targets as such, but to make broader lifestyle changes.

Best of luck with your goals, but remember that ultimately your weight is irrelevant to your self-worth and strength of character as an individual. Do not sucumb to depression....

My wife used to have problems with her weight, and over several years she tried most of the diets, and pills, including the amphetamine base type. None worked, because she just put the weight back on when she finished the diet. We now both take Herbalife products which are based on high protein, and total nutrition. The programmes help you to change your eating habits, and it works, my wife now follows a maintenance programme, and I take it for the sports nutrition.

Answer 8

My friend are doing this thing where we have some one tell us what to eat, and walk on a treadmill at 3.5 to 4 mph for 35 mins for 12 weeks are were supposed to loose around 40-50lbs. the junk food is bad it took me two years to actually stop eating it( i still do every once in a while) try to eat the 3 main meals but make them smaller and then add two snacks in that are around 200 calories or less. thats what Ive been doing and its helped so far. But one thing that will help the most is laying off the junk food, its tough as hell to get off it though. and no soda thats the worst thing you can do for your body!! write down your goals for the next day every night and review them before you go to bed and in the morning. I also heard that if you wake up to 16oz of water it really helps your body. good luck! believe in your self!!! you got it!

Answer 10

The honest to god truth is FAD DIETS DONT WORK!!!!!!!

they are a short term solution, if you are wanting to lose weight and keep it off, stupid diets are not the way to do it.

they work by starving the body of something it needs, so your body starts using up the resources (stored fat) it has.

when you go on a diet like this they are not designed to be a life long way of living, and if you do them long term they can do a lot more damage than good.

in the end you go off the diet and 9 times out of 10 will gain the weight if not more. these diet starve your body, so when you eat normal, your body goes into pain mode and in order to not starve again in that way it will store anything thing that comes its way (fat)



the best and most healthy way to lose weight is a healthy BALANCED, everything in moderation, your still allowed treats, just not so often. and also regular exercise, it doesnt have to be a work out at the gym, but something to get your heart rate up, dont push yourself to do what you cant do, it will end up hurting you more than anything and putting you off doing more. you will find over time, exercise will get easier and easier and you will be doing more and more with less and less effort.

find something you will enjoy, it shouldn't be a chore, personally i like swimming and have recently stared jogging, i still cant go as far as i would like, but i stay positive and know i will get there in time.



if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off, it wont happen over night (losing weight to quickly can be very bad for you and is usually harder to keep off) it will take time and determination and positive thinking!



have a look for paul mckenna, think yourself thin, its not about dieting, but about changing the way you think of food and the way you think about yourself.

i understand what your going through and am going through the process of changing my life too!

Answer 11

Try to focus on a few key things:



1) Love and accept yourself no matter what size your clothes are!



2) Do what is healthy for yourself--even if you have to think "outside of yourself." Sometimes, it helps me to think, "if I were caring for this person, would I let her eat a chocolate bar or an apple?" Think about this as taking care of yourself and improving your health. You know what foods are healthy and you know that a little exercise will make you feel good and is good for you, so do what's good for you and you'll feel good and you can take pride in that.



3) Don't set a due-date for yourself--make it your goal to make healthy choices every day. Find activities that you enjoy and try to focus on them instead of letting cravings take over your mind. Allow yourself a well-earned treat, like have a reasonable-sized sweet twice a week or whatever you think is appropriate.



Remember, the goal is to feel good about yourself and feel healthy. Don't starve yourself because your subconscience will get the best of you. Make healthy choices regarding food, beverages, exercise, sleep, and stress and you will succeed!
