well hearing that you are in football you probably are the "big guy" strong and etc..



you should be eating around 2000 cals a day. I know its hard, you can work your way down.



Second football is good but I hope that you ain't relying on that as your "only" excrise. Hit the bike path too, or gym water ever you want. Make it fun, bring your buddies and just play hard.



Also for a young man like yourself, its importing that you have LOTS of mussel mass so start lifting those weights boy lol. Its okay, I want to lose weight too.



Its a lifestyle thing. I estimate that it will take you around 6-8months. Good luck!!!

2500 calories a day!

Feckin Hell!

Cut That down Straight Away To About 1000!

or your jjust gonna put on MORE weight.



Then With All Tht Exercise And A 1000 Calories A Day Diet, It should take aboout 30 weeks coz you can lose upto 2lb a week.

But if you carfry oon eating how you are now, you'll end up putting ON weight.

Be careful. If you set out to simply lose weight, and here we're looking at fat content and not muscle mass, eating 2500 calories per day seems very high. However, if you are using up 3000 calories, you'll lose weight. Keep your fat content to an absolute minimum, don't combine proteins and complex carbs in any one meal, no bread, but really at your age and your weight, you need to seek professional help as your heart is under massive strain at present. Not to mince my words, you don't have the skills nor knowledge to start this, and seeing a dietician would help educate you and your family, as tbh, many of the problems you're having stem from them, what's put on the dining table, your portion sizes, the content of your intake and how your family memmbers are failing you at this time. Seek real, and genuine help as we here can't tell you properly enough what life changes you will need to make. But at your age, now is most definitely the time in your life to be doing something drastic, but you, nor your family have this knowledge. Seek professional help.

Hope that starts to help.

EDIT: You are 13yrs old. You have packed on 50lbsof excess / waste weight recently. And no one in your close circle of friends nor your family have cautioned you? I find that my earlier comments are even more pertinent. That's a whopping 1/5th of your body weight added in very short time. Added as fat, most of which will be visceral fat. Then you cite professional athletes being over 300lbs, so, what, it's OK for you to be emulating them?!

I think a trip to the doctor is very much in order (get your Mummy to take you maybe) as you seem to think you're an professional adult male athlete. And you most certainly aren't. You are just into puberty. Why do you think you're a professional all of a sudden? You are benching weights (albeit below your own body weight which as a adult is a minimum if you're going to shout about it) and yet your joints, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bones sinews etc have not yet fully formed. Why is no one available to guide, mentor and help you?

And you seem upset when as a 13yr old, people give you two line answers to your question here on this site? Why are you asking us here how to do this? I think you need to seek medical advice and guidance and not for one moment, assume you begin to know what you're doing, since you don't.

Sorry to be so blunt, but people need to tell you some home-truths.

Healthy weight loss for an adult is 1-2 pound a week. I say healthy because other diets that say more are really loss of water not fat. Since you are only 13, it is very important that you gt the guidance of a Dr. who sends you to a professional like a dietitian. You could make yourself sick or worse if you do not do this right.

healthily it would take approximately 6months. this is cautioned to no longer lose greater that a million-2lbs a week so take it slow. in case you pick a swifter way then consult from a nutritionist and perchance get a wellness coach first, a minimum of you will understand which you will have professional help. in case you come to a determination to flow at it on my own then communicate on your wellness practitioner first and he/she could have the skill to lead you to a lifelike attitude to dropping weight. I lost 45lbs, yet I did it with suggestions from slicing energy and work out approximately 5days a week for no less than 1hour and below 1hr and 45minutes per consultation and it took approximately 5months to drop the load which incorporate dropping the water weight. i offered an exercising bike, a treadmill with an incline and a few dumbells and watched classes early contained in the morning like Denise Austin(on lifetime 6a.m.mandatory time mon-fri) and rode my bike to 3 song or throughout the time of a action picture or tutor for no less than 45mins. I had to initiate slow to construct up the quantity of time i ought to deal with understanding and then as quickly as i became in a position to flow an entire hour devoid of everyone having to %. me up off the floor. I enable 1hr be my minimum. additionally i'm no longer a vegeterian and that i consume notwithstanding i pick, I merely use moderation while eating.

2500 calories might still be too much. You'll have to exercise your butt off to drop 50 pounds with that much intake. How tall are you, dude?

with 2500 calories...a day...

in my opinion is not a diet at all.



the exercising is good..but to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume...so i don't know how that would work out for you..
