Help my fatass lose weight

[TheFatKid]

Thanks for all the help guys. I just have to focus on getting rid of all the bad stuff in my house, and bring in the good stuff. I'm probably going to exercise after I get some WoW time in. Also, what would be a good dip or something to go with celery? I can't stand eating it plain.

Also, I used to be pretty fit back when I was around 10 or 11. Years before that, I was by far the heftiest kid in my class. From around ages 11-now I gained all the weight back by not keeping myself busy. I regret it alot now. Btw, I'm 14, almost 6'0" and last time I weighed myself I was 230. I'm prolly 240 or 245 now. My goal is 180 for now.

My exercise plan so far is 45 minutes walking/jogging/running, then after my lungs get better and I get less fat, add sprinting up hills to that. Also, I'm going to be doing 30 minutes of weights. What foods should I eat and what foods should I stay away from? Rating: 5

Ugh plain celery is booo-ring
Whatever your fave salad dressing, chances are there's a low-fat or fat free version.
My ex BF was 260 when he was a junior in high school... after graduation he grew 4 more inches and when I met him he was 6'4 and 215... he says he lost all the weight in one summer when he just got sick of being pudgy and started jogging.
I had another good idea!
Why don't you find a summer job that keeps you active?
For example:
Landscaping- landscapers hire in Feb/March
Farm labor- hey, you can get kicked out of my county if you graduate high school without having spent at least one summer picking fucking cucumbers! I've done it, so has everyone I know, girlies included!!!
I'm sure you can think of some job that keeps you moving all summer.
Oh! Work for a moving company schlepping other peoples crap?

Working is the best exersize. I don't know why I didn't think of that. You get out, meet people, make cash and exersize. Good one.


I always lose any excess fat when I do a physical job.

Overweight tester - Just how overweight are you? Do you need to lose weight?.

this will also tell you how much you are over weight....(im 6 pounds over... and i have about 8 pounds of excess fat)

Things like this are a bad idea. It says I am like 67 lbs overweight and my idea weight is like 163 or something. It doesn't take into account that I am a former swimmer with somewhat bigger upper body and thigh muscles than the average person. Shit like this will just make you feel bad about yourseld.

There are a couple shows on the food network...One is Calorie Commando,,,I believe... one is called Low Carb and Loving it... you don't have to follow them to the letter but just keep watching them for pointers... I had good success with low carb but,,,it all boils down to lifestyle that needs to change for any real success...


the first step is wanting something bad enough...

Yep, celery is boring without some dip. I made mine from plain yogurt. I would add any number of herbs and flavorings- parmasian cheese, blue cheese, (if you let these sit overnight, the flavor intensifies, so you don't need much) chives, Italian seasoning, parsley, salsa, all kinds of stuff. Add a bit of low fat milk, and it's a salad dressing.

Eat more fruits and vegies (especially raw), than grain and meat. When you eat grains, make sure they are whole grains- and remember "whole wheat bread" is usually not 100% whole wheat (it's cut with white flour) unless it says 100% whole wheat! Avoid white foods and cut way back on oils, fats and salt. Read labels- as a general rule, if it isn't a normal English word (milk, eggs, oil, flour, etc) don't eat it. An exception are the "B" vitamins- thiamine, folic acid, etc. And get some vitamins, dieters often don't get enough nutrition. Don't try to lose the weight TOO fast- rapid weight loss is often followed by weight gains.

I used to weigh 235+ (when I quit weighing myself) and I now am down to 174 as of this morning. I still have about 40 pounds to go, but I am getting there! I feel a lot better! My diabetes and blood pressure (both weight related problems) are now under control. Good luck to you- Granny :stoned:

tape a yard stick to your head and hang a twinkie on it...

Ha ha! "I'm turning you into poo"

A job where you get a good workout is a good idea too. Not only do you get great exercise, you'll get paid for it too.

Labour jobs I think are the biggest turnover jobs out there, so they're always around. I worked TONS of labour jobs in my time that got me in wicked shape.

Like I have previously mentioned, I ate only 3 meals a day, with healthy snacking inbewteen (apples, oranges, pineapple, veggies, etc). I took up Kickboxing that was twice a week, for 3 hrs. My job, I worked F/T, 40hrs a week, where I worked as yard personel in a rock yard. Lifting a few hundred stones that weighed anywhere between 15lbs-110lbs really gets you in good shape. I also biked to and from work daily, about 6km to and from work.

I lost 40lbs in a matter of a few months.

Exercise is key, and a healthy diet is key. Do those, and you'll be on a healthy road to thiness.

It sounds like your not going to do this, but in case you get tempted don't do a carb diet. Those diets can be dangerous seeing as how you use carbohydrates to help you live. Ussually the major problem is people continue on that diet long after they have lost the weight they wanted too, in turn causing it become a dangerous diet.

n a matter of a few months.

Thats also a good idea, most of the year I have a gut, but during the summer I have a job at a camp that ussually requires me to hike at least more than 5 miles a day(total, never realy measured it all just ruff guess from my knowledge of the camp) and a weekly 10 mile hike seperatly. Needless to say I lose alot of wait during the summer ^.^

[slipknotpsycho]

why avoid white foods? o.0 and i thought cauliflower is good for you, but it's white and potatoes are technically white... so are alot of beans (the insides)
