I need weight loss tips for a 15 year old, please?
Alright, so I'm 5 foot 7 1/2 inches tall, I'm 15 years old, and I weight 115. Frankly, I'm not that angry about my weight, I'm okay with how much I weigh (however, yes, it going down would be nice). What I want to do is lose fat! Specifically hip, arm, and belly fat. I'm not super fat, but I definitely don't feel comfortable in a swimsuit or even in semi-tight clothing! I feel like you can see my fat hips through them. Whenever I turn around to look in the mirror at home, I feel disgusted by them.
Does anyone have any good weight loss tips and maybe even a 7-day diet thing? Or just a regular everyday diet would be good, too! Frankly, the quicker, the better. I want to feel good about myself by the time school starts. I tried not eating, but it's really hard because I crave food! Also, I am a vegetarian, so no meal plans with meat, please!
I know a lot of you will be like, "you're 15 you shouldn't worry about your weight. Go back to playing with your dolls." or maybe "just eat healthier and exercise more". First, I don't care what you say, no offense, but I'd rather feel good about myself than become self-conscious and develop more serious problems such as an eating disorder or self-harming. See, I want to be healthier about it! Secondly, that's not helpful at all. HOW do I exercise more? WHAT exercises? WHAT should I eat? Give me more, please!
Thanks in advance.
Throwing this out there - I don't care about losing weight. (: I know that I'm not heavy, but I have FAT! That's the thing I'd like to lose. I want to shed numbers on a tape measurer, not on the scale.

I`m going to start by saying you don`t sound fat at all! But, I know where you`re coming from. I lost a lot of weight when I was about 4 years younger than you (I was 11 years old, and before I lost weight I was about 5 foot 2, and weighed 125 pounds.)
So, first off, eat lots of different vegetables, in many different colors. Try to cut back on breads/pasta, and instead eat rice. Make sure you get protein, as I'm sure you must've heard a million times before. But, peanut butter isn't a good source to rely on, because it has a lot of calories, salt, and sugar! Almond butter is much better for you, as well as tofu, quinoa, tempeh, and just plain nuts (beware of the nuts though, as they are an excellent source of protein, but with a lot of calories.) Also, don't forget your calcium! Whether that's through milk, soy milk, broccoli, rice milk, figs, and leafy green vegetables.
Exercise! You should find a few good aerobic exercises that you enjoy doing, whether that's swimming, biking, runningjogging, 'active video games' like wii fit or dancedance revolution, rock climbing, jumping jacks, dancing, gardening, cleaning, playing sports, yoga, skipping, walking, gymnastics, hiking, and so on. There are so many different kinds of aerobic activity that it's actually really hard to find an excuse not to do it.
You should also be keeping your muscles in shape. You'll be stronger and feel healthier, as well as have a more toned appearance! Whether you lift weights, or just do simple push-ups, squats and crunches. Just try not to work the same muscles over and over again. Also, after you work your muscles, give them a day to repair before you work them again. You can still do your aerobic activity, but if you work your muscles, it should be a different muscle group. If you don't know of many different muscle-building exercises, try Google. There are hundreds out there, and you'll be able to find clear instructions on how to do them on the internet. You could also check out your local library for workout tapes.
Don't forget, if you go through a slump or even just miss a few days of activity, don't just give up! Continue on, for your appearance, for your health, or even just so you can say "I did it!"
Good luck :)

Teen Needs Weight Loss Tips Please!!?
I am 14 at an insane 217 pounds, possibly more. I am 5"6'. I want to loose weight quick, but I have a hard time saying "Your a fat slob, go for a freakin walk". I have high self esstem. The reason why I ate so much is because I was addicted. My mother is a very good cook, and I had difficulty resisting cupcakes. I need to catch anorexica. I am not ignorant, I am fully aware of the risks. I tried throwing up 2 times, but it tasted gross and I heard about belly and eshphogas rupture. What is the normal weigh for my age and height? And please don't give me the crap about steady weight loss, diet, blah blah. I know some of you are worried. It's not the media this time. I wat to get down to a certain size. As much as I want to play with the guys in gym, I simply cannot keep up. HELP!!
Oh if you are wondering about my build, I was born almost a preme. I was less than 7 pounds. I blew up in 7th grade.
I nees more agression people. I am glad some people are try to make me remeber how dangerous this is, but he11, I'd rather die thin than fat. I can barly get up stairs without panting. I don't care about people who say I'm fat. I don't care that I'm killing myself with too much food. But now I'm starting to understand why it is imortant to get this. No matter how supportive you are in healthy weight loss, I will only eat the whole icebox. Thannks. But i need people to say "fat" and "ugly" or I will let the food control me. I like food because it taste good. I like puppies because they are cute.
Just tell me how to loose 100lbs in 5 months, the forbbiden way. That way I'll be 117 pounds.
So be mean, say bad things, say I am fat and evil. I need it, My not caring about how fat I am makes me get fatter and fatter. HELP!!!!
Joe answers:
The only quick fix weightloss is A. Catching a disease like milaria or something else terrible or B. Going under the knife with lipo suction. The stomache stappling doesn't work that well and leaves you always hungry. Without getting in the company of people who seek to stay thin, you will never acomplish your goal.
So my fat little friend. Let's knock you off your highhorse. How fat are you? You are grossly obess and I mean gross. But being mean will not get you thin or maybe it will, I don't know. What motivates you most in life? I think your parents are bad parents letting you become such a plump individual. Whether you love yourself or not ... Your not healthy. Swimming is the number 1 way to lose weight. Being fat will actually make you float and it will be less difficult for you so you can gradually work changing fat into muscle and burning other fat off. Also exercise ... My wife has this new system: FLUIDITY ... It's a balay dancer/yoga/poloties style exercise you can do in your own home with a dvd player or computer. It comes with a foldable bar system that needs forces you to have about 6 X 6ft of space to work with. She also does yoga regularly. My wife used to be really thin then she started getting fat and didn't stop. Now she's losing weight and looking great at 32. She wants it bad to be who she was. How bad do you want to be who you never were? Slim, Healthy, Normal. I respect high confidence but when you can tango with an elephant and not look unusual there is a problem. Other things that will keep you losing weight ... Singing and dancing ... You don't have to be great just do it all over the place ... Wistle, hum, waddle back and forth in place. Movements of the body burns calories. Drinking ice cold water and taking ice cold showers cause the body to use up energy and forces your metabolism to speed up when placed into regular use. Also spicey food increases metabolism causing you to lose weight. Now when your eating moms deliscious food ... Eat less off it and eat in the proper order. First start off with a large glass of icecold Milk. I'ts good for you and will help you lose weight. Drink a few glasses of icecold water a day as well. Take your cold shower when you wake up and befor you go to bed this will jump start your metabolism in the morning and keep it burning food all night long. Sleep with less covers or even naked ... This can also cause you to burn weight if its cold out but make sure your dry after your cold shower so you don't get sick. Back to moms food ... Eat less of it and eat a salid every night first. Speeding up your metabolism and using up more energy then you consume is the key to losing weight and looking great. If your gonna eat like a cow your gonna have to work out like an insaine workout nut. Eat like a 117 lb teenage girl who cares how much she weighs and you will only have to eat right and work out 30 minutes a day 3 days a week. If you work out every day for 30 minutes vigorusly jogging or preferibly swimming until you get your weight off ... You will lose most of your weight within a year. Also when you eat, eat your vegies and fruit first, then your meat, and lastly pasta and potatoes. You need carbs to keep up your energy but carbs are heavy and hard to digest ... Try to eat more vegies and fruits and less pasta and potatoes. No bread ... Bread is all crap food so avoid the bread and eliminate sweets from your life. If cupcakes are your curse then eat them and limit yourself to one a day and cut yourself back to say 2-3 a week. You'll thank me later. Snack throughout the day ...on nuts, fruit, & veggies. Don't skip breakfast ... It's an important meal and should be your only big meal of the day. Some fruit, some oatmeal, some juice, and some eggs. Mix it up and eat some variation of this meal in the morning. Throw in a glass of ice cold water or ice cold milk and your off to the races on eating right, and feeling great. Good luck. This is a lot to take in and change as you feel. Also relize as you get thinner you'll have excess skin that you just can't seem to get rid of ... Moisturize your body with vitamin E and aloe to reduce stretch marks being left on your body. The swimming, along with, The fluidity CD exercises, and maybe some yoga if you are willing will help tone your body and rid you of excess skin. You'll look AWSOME and feel great. Change your life and don't stop or it will all come back. Build yourself a Plan Book and set yourself small daily/ weekly goals and set large monthly/yearly goals. Make yourself a Dreamboard that gives you motivation to become whatever it is you want to be with words, pictures and place it where you will look at it every morning and every night to motivate you. Start the mantra "I am apprieciative of myself now that I am thin & healthy." say it 10 times in the mornning when you wake up and before you go to bed. Good luck.

Joe answers:
Start walking - walk at least an hour every day and don't eat more than you are eating now. You WILL lose weight in two weeks. If you cut back on sugar and starches you will lose even more weight. And if your belly is fat - start doing some sit ups or crunches - you can make a difference in two weeks.
Good luck.
And don't waste your money acai - it does nothing. People get paid to post that cr*p.
