Answers:
It is harsh to hear but stop eating so many calories (eat smaller portions and eat healthy lower calorie foods) and start exercising to use up some of the calories that she is eating. It all comes down to calories in and exercise out put.

If you are a true friend, offer to exercise with her...go fast walking, take a dance class, aerobics, biking, etc. When you eat together, choose healthy choices and don't persuade her to split a dessert with you or eat other fattening stuff. If her parents will help her, she can do Jenny Craig. I joined in Jan and have lost 26 lbs and have not even exercised. I know that it is not good that I am not exercising but I am still loosing weight. I would get faster results if I exercised.

Weight watchers is another grea plan and might work better for her because she can still eat at restaurants with you and other friends with out making it obvious that she is dieting.Health Question & Answer

The term overweight signifies varying things to varying people. It's a good idea to start at the beginning, and establish whether you are actually overweight for your size or not, by calculating your BMI (Body Mass Index). To be honest, the only diet which really worked for me was green tea, it can be checked out in the resource box below, they have a limited number of free trials remaining, it was highlighted in Reader's Digest and USA Today. I shed 25 pounds, it really does work!Health Question & Answer

I have started this Diet (lifestyle change) in the middle of November at 140lbs, and now at 117lbs

A DIET IS WHAT YOU EAT....there for we are all on a diet....
THINK LIFESTYLE CHANGE

You got the change the way you think and feel about food

TRY THIS, and stick to it.

The first 3-4 weeks are the hardest until your body adjusts to the change.
Results will be in about the same time

Fruits and Veggies

Eat more plants and keep away from stuff that was made in plants.

Don't eat anything that comes in a can, box or package....
.....THEY HAVE ADDITIVES IN THEM THAT MAKE YOU ADDICTED TO THE FOOD.....
If man made it, don't eat it

NO white BREAD or SUGAR

NO PIZZA, I am in the pizza business, and it is not good for you, very high in FAT and Calories

NO FRIED FOOD...

Stay away from FAST FOOD

NO POP, SODA or FIZZY DRINKS

Walk your dog, or walk a friends dog

Don't think of it as a diet, but think of it as a lifestyle change

I have lost 20.5 pounds in 2 months, drink lots of water. I usually eat a meal of what ever I want once a week....controlled portion....this really works.........

Write down every thing you eat

take a multivitamin at nightHealth Question & Answer

She needs to maintain a regular exercise regime, and at the same time control her diet. About an hour of exercise every day is a good start (jogging, cycling, treadmill, etc) but its best to keep active for the most part of the day rather than just sitting around. also best to stay away from fatty foods, but that doesnt mean give up your favourite foods altogether. Just eat less.Health Question & Answer

Keep an eye on what she is eating, make sure she eats healthy foods like apples or carrots. Make sure she exercises everyday for at least 1 hour! Like easy slow miles, or just some short distant sprinting. Swimming is probably a good idea also. also limit the junk foods she eats. Tell her to only eat junk food on weekends. But only every 3 hours. Get her signed up for active after school activities (track and field, hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball. Just make sure they're ones she actually ENJOYS). Hope this helped!

P.S. Try biking up big tall hills also! It's really fun going down them after you've gotten to the top!Health Question & Answer

Ok I think your initial question is a little bit too rhetorical eh.? 245 lb at 5,6".? 245 lb at 5,6" regardless of the her composition (basically how much of her excessive mass is muscle or fat). She shouldn't loose too much either because that would just end up in lots and lots of loose skin folds!Health Question & Answer

So, all these people are going to say....easy eat less, exercise more. Not true for some people. I have tried almost every diet out there and now I'm thinking and going to do the gastric bypass surgery. No, I don't think it's an easy, fast fix and it scares me to do it but I want my children to grow up with a healthy mother not a fat mother. So, one thing that is working for me right now. Lost 6lbs in 5wks so far is making sure that I have plenty of protein not to mention that my Vit. D level was only 7 and should be around 30-40 on the low end. Since I've been taking Vit. D pills I have more energy. Here's a sample menu that I'm doing....

Breakfast...1 hard boiled egg, 1 piece of toast w/1tsp of peanut butter.

Snack...100 calorie pack anything usually popcorn

Lunch...Chicken Wrap homemade...Chicken breast cut into chunks with raw veggies of your choice and mustard.

Dinner...Lean cut meat (1 night a week), Fish (not fried or breaded) (2 nights a week), Veggetarian dinners (2 nights a week), 1 night a week is a free night (NO FAST FOOD INCLUDING PIZZA). Make sure you add a veggie every night and you don't always have to have a starch. Your plate should be full of more veggies than anything. For flavor brush olive oil and add pepper/chili powder. NO BUTTER!

Desert if we want it....take the sugar free whipped cream in a can and spray it into a small pudding cup put in the freezer for about 30 min and it tastes just like ice cream. Fresh fruit. or sugar free pudding.

Stay away from caffine and anything carbinated.

Go for a walk AFTER dinner. I walk 1.3 miles a night with my 3 year old twins who I make walk also so I'm not leaning on a stroller. also they get used to the exercise.

Don't listen to people who judge and say mean things.Health Question & Answer
