Help my fatass lose weight

[potsmokingnome]

Damn, my parents need to go shopping. For dinner we ate ham and fried potato pancakes. I was doing good all day too =(

Are your parrents aware that you wanna loose weight?

Hey here's my recipe for the day!!!

Take 1 cup of nonfat yoghurt.. I like plain but I have no sweet tooth
Put it in a blender
Add 2 tablespoons of frozen orange juice concentrate plus a handful of frozen berries, whatever your favorite ones are; I like raspberries.
Blend... enjoy... mmmm!!!!!!
This smoothie is very filling and has the following health benefits:
Yoghurt... tons of calcium and protein... makes you feel satisfied for longer because of the protein!
Orange juice... we all know how good it is for you! Vitamins!!! Fiber!!! wOOt!
Berries... did you know that fruits that grow at higher latitudes, such as blueberries, have a MUCH MUCH MUCH higher ratio of vitamins and antioxidants to sugar than tropical fruits such as pineapples and bananas? And blueberries are one of the best sources of vitamin C that exists! (one of the others being paprika, but that would be gross in a smoothie, dontcha think?)


Anyway I'm heading over to HEALTH and starting a thread where people trying to get in shape can post and support each other.

After all, spring is around the corner and a chick has to look GOOD (and fit into the seat in her kayak, lol!!!!)

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)

that thing doesn't work if you have an athletic build.

So Fat kid have you lost any weight since you made this thread in January?

[dusto2k3]

fruit juices are high in sugar, stay away.

As a person whose lost a few pounds over the week from over eating..
I suggest you start out with power walking on a treadmill and set yourself a goal.
Then gradually move up to jogging for 10 minutes. Then maybe next time 20 minutes and so on. You'll build stamina and you'll be cutting down on the body fat. When you're comfortable with that start using weights and toning yourself. Before you know it, you'll be more comfortable with the body you're in and I'll bet you'll feel very accomplished.

calorie count, and portion control. when you're sitting down to a meal, drink a lot of water w/ your food, to help fill your stomach up a little more w/o calories. also keep a log of how many calories you're eating. try to eat only about 1200-1700 a day. i know it sounds hard, but it's really not. the more portion control the better though, that way your stomach shrinks back to the way it was before it was stretched.

I wish you the best, Kid. Just don't beat yourself over the head if you happen to indulge somedays and stick with what works. Everyone is different.

No, I think I gained weight! I haven't given this damn thing any effort since I started. I don't know why I can never get enough motivation to go on the damn tredmill. I was just thinking about this yesterday, but I really need to do something.

I hate running... unless being shot at. Try to get involved in something that is physical that YOU like to do. I mean who is going to run on a treadmill on a daily basis when they don't enjoy it.

I ski, play racquetball (SP?), hockey, etc. Find what you like to do. DDR or the Wii even will make you loose wieght. Be careful I saw a fatkid who brok and ankle playing DDR lol.

I'm in the same boat as you. I lost 10lbs over the summer doing construction then came back to school and in the past 6mo have gained 20. So I'm doing like just salad and entree for all meals.

You're gonna feel hungry for a while until your stomach shrinks (yes I said shrinks)

Your stomac will naturally shrink durring dieting, kind of like natures weight loss surgery. Try just a really light snack. And drink lots of water. You would be suprised how much it fills you up. And switching to diet pop (aside from possibly being a carcinagin) will cause a lot of ppl to loose weight.

If you're only 14 you may still be developing and growing out of baby fat too.

Don't make your lifestyle changes to drastic as you won't stick with it. Make it gradual and have a cheesburger as a reward once in a while.

Good luck I'm suffering through a diet now too.

Oh btw. Weightloss is a slow arguous process. Like 2lbs a week is considered safe rate (not sure on that #)

Good Luck

~PEACE!
