140 would usually be a small or medium, depends how tall you are.



500 calories is not enough in one day, you ARE starving yourself especially if you are working out everyday.

Losing 50 pounds in a month is a lot of weight to lose. It is probably not healthy to lose that much so quickly. In addition, are you planning on eating this way for the rest of your life? Weight control isn't just getting the weight off, it is keeping it off. The trick is to change the way you eat and make it a life habit.

Great Job! You're on the Perfect track.



-Watching portion size

-Watching what you eat

-Getting active to increase your metabolism



First, I would say that 500 calories a day is not enough. Your body will go into starvation mode and will stop cutting the fat. As an active 15 year old, you should be eating around 1,200 - 1,500 calories a day of small meals of quality food.



Second, you need to be drinking a good amount of water. Water is Essential to weight loss because your body needs to sweat and your body needs the water to flush out the waste from your weight loss.



Third, and most important, understand that you will NOT be able to lose 2 pounds a day for a month straight. You will lose about 10-12 the first week or two and then drop down to about 3-4 pounds a week from there. Once you start to reach your ideal weight, based on your age, height, and build type, you won't lose as quickly.



In the end, you need to remember where you started and be HAPPY with where ever you end up! Don't think that you always need to cut "just a couple more" pounds.

The key to weight loss is a balance between aerobic exercise and a healthy, balanced diet.

you are doing the right thing by eating Iam a lifetime member of weight watchers if you dont eat enough you wont lose the lbs you can also stay the same weight and lose inches while dieting and you can eat cake but the most important thing is portion size , some weeks you will lose and some you may not do not get discouraged because you will probly plateau it happens , where you will stay the same weight for a time but thats good because your not putting the weight on, try going to weight watchers there isnt anything that you cant eat you use a tracker to trac your caloric intake as 140 its between a size8/10 thats me I weighed 182.4 when I started I lost 55 pounds in less than a year I have put some back on Iam 5ft5 now I weigh 149 I have been going to weight watchers since2001, if you get the right group it can be fun, you will feel good about yourself. Oh yeah keep working out you should have more than 500 calories a day

Good that you feel better than ever!

You are good not to starve yourself! Not only is it bad for you in general, but the lack of nutrients kills your metabolism, making it harder. Good to watch your calories (but you may be aiming a bit too low there) and exercise! ALSO, perfect that you've taken on the multiple smaller meals strategy.



There are some other things you could do. First, a lot of water can help flush through your system. Second, sleep regularly and get as rested as possible (boost metabolism.)



You can also try some valerian supplements, which will naturally and healthily boost your energy (so you can work out more intensely.)



Also, I know this may sound strange or corny, but smile more than usual. You burn a few calories (though not many), but more importantly, en external change in behavior enforces an internal change in attitude. And believe it or not, the attitude changes everything. That's what hypnotherapists get you to do. It drives you more, and also might induce a slight placebo effect (on yourself? I know, sounds weird, right?) to help give you an extra push!



Go for it, mate! It looks like you're well on track.

Even though you work-out daily by cutting your caloric intake so drastically you might be losing more weight from muscle tissue than from body fat. Most studies show that by cutting to much nutrition from your diet will result in 60 to 80 percent of weight loss coming from muscle deterioration. At your age the best plan you could choose is to concentrate on a long term health and fitness lifestyle. Most experts agree that more than 1 to 2 pounds lost per week is not only unhealthy, but could cause a decrease in you're metabolic rate, meaning, you will burn fewer and fewer calories each day that you don't get enough protein and other nutritional requirements. Instead of thinking about dieting, just concentrate on doing the things that will result in overall health and fitness. Most people are programed to want instant gratification but that's not always the best answer. I'm sure you will reach your weight loss goals one way or another, but think about long term health, not quick weight loss.

Please do not have that mentality. good on you that you are at a 2lb per day rate. but the first bit of weightloss that you will have is water weight. it is very easy to lose and very easy to gain back if you are not careful or stop your workouts. And once the water weight is off, you will have a more difficult time losing weight, because you will be working on your actual fat. It is very good that you are taking the initative to lose some weight, but please do not fall off the wagon if a month comes around and you haven't reached your goal. It is actually unhealthy to lose a rapid ammount of weight in a short period of time. Good luck with everything though.
