Answers:
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).Health Question & Answer

First of all your BMI, body mass index, is 24. Therefore you are at a normal healthy weight as far as that scale is concerned, and you should have nothing to worry about.
But obviously you are looking to lose weight anyway. So with that being said, typically seeing that you are fourteen I am guessing that you eat fast food and drink a lot of soft drinks.
Quick bit of info,it takes 3500 calories to gain one pound of fat
1) Cut out all soft drinks and fast food. One can of coke contains 110 calories, if you drink 2 cokes everyday, in a years time you will have gained 23lbs in one year( 110 cal X 2cokes a day=220 cal X 365 days= 80,300 calories Divided by 3500
2) Cut out all fast food from your diet. Nothing good comes from fast food, NOTHING.
3) First thing in the morning stretch and take a minimum of a ten minute jog before you eat anything, studies have shown first thing in the morning is when your body is most primed to burn fat.
4) Do not eat after 8 o clock at night
Follow these basic steps along with a good balanced diet and you will be well on your way my dear
Good luckHealth Question & Answer

hi you only have a little bit of weight to lose so its defnitely possible to do it healthily by march. i suggest you read Patrick Holfords 'optimun Nuitrion forthe brain' its in most bookstores or on amazon. if you google patrick holford you'll find out more. anyway if you follow his advice you'll lose weight and get healthy. try taking up some activity you enjoy, swimming, jogging dancing, even walking with your ipodis good. justbe healthy your very young and you need to look after yourself. and incase you get carried away with weight loss i suggest you look up the side effects of anorexia on wikipedia. enlargement of the brain ventricles, caused by anorexia is the same brain abnormality found in schizophrenics. anorexia causes brain damage and lowers your IQ. so be healthy and you will lose the weight easily and for life. good luck!Health Question & Answer
Eat 1200 calories a day of healthy foods, and get at least an hour a day of some kind of excersize- the more you excersize the faster you'll see results. The elliptical is good, but you should do other things too.... run outside, do some pilates, yoga, whatever you can do...Health Question & Answer
