[quote=ExSaber]still haven't answered my question though
so what do i do after a jog/workout? do i just do nothing?[/quote]

o.o You are not suppose to workout 24/7. After your workout, you do what you normally do throughout your day...unless you normally eat 24/7...
Just rest, sleep...lol..

@ExSaber: its the internet no one cares. and really overweight? or obese? well atleast tell us your [url=http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/]BMI[/url] if you want

thanks everyone. still haven't answered my question though

so what do i do after a jog/workout? do i just do nothing?

It would be nice if we knew your height and weight, so we know what to work with.
Anyways, if you are [truly] overweight, and not one of those "skinny" people thinking they're "fat" 'overweight' types,
When you are [actually] overweight, losing weight isn't so bad, first you might try to cut your diet, if you feel w/e amount you were eating before is too much, then maybe eat 80% less of that, then slowly work down, to 70%, 60%...etc. You don't want to first jump ahead into starving yourself by eat 50% of what you normally eat.
Then you might want to also do a little work out: jogging and running is great + some stretches.
Drinking water helps you lose weight too [I think I heard one of my friend told me this before]
Then when you reach the [normal] weight region, now this part can get a little harder...sometime you won't lose any weights for months, it takes awhile to offset the scale when you are not overweight anymore. Just keep working out, and maintaining a healthy food diet, and your weight will eventually start to go down.

[quote=ExSaber]well, i'm 14 and have been overweight most of my life. i feel like a big change needs to be made.
for you people out there, how do you lose lose weight/stay fit? any tips will help. thanks! [/quote]

There's no shortcut. Everyone's looking for a shortcut but there is no shortcut. You eat healthy, and I know for a fact that you know what is healthy. You exercise. Doesn't really matter what you're trying to do. If you're not trying to become buff and strong, and just trying to lose weight, exercise is simple. Run, easy. Hell, even walk, easy. Go to a gym and see how people do things, and copy them. It's no secret, it's no shortcut, you eat healthy and exercise, something that your parents taught you since you were two.

Just eat keto style. All fats and proteins, as little carbs as possible, and with fiber here and there. I've lost 15 pounds and really toned up in like, a month and a half with a week in San Francisco being totally off of the diet and a few days with my family eating out and knocking me out of ketosis in between. All you have to do is avoid carbohydrates like the plague and drink tons of water. You could seriously eat bacon and eggs three times a day and lose weight, but you have to include vegetables too in order to get the proper amount of fiber and other nutrients. Look into this, it seriously works.
Oh, and if you're concerned about blood pressure and cholesterol, don't worry. People have had their cholesterol raised with only the good cholesterol (HDL or LDL. I forgot) and my blood pressure actually dropped from some fat person number to 70/106.

I don't want to sound like a snob, but TS, I'm going to assume you have mean eating very unhealthily, since you're a 14 year-old guy. Usually in our teen years, we can be fat and chubby, but come puberty, we turn to twigs.

As first commend on this thread (and the insightful one too) mentioned, focus on eating more healthily. Avoid foods high in fat and even foods high in carbohydrates, although foods like avocado can be eaten even though they are high in fat because they contain essential nutrients and good fats for the body.

Working out should come secondary. It is definitely something to think about, but after a big workout, you may tend to splurge on more food and get back to old habits.

Best of luck

Fasting will cause you to lose muscle..after awhile you lose fat..but it's not good for your body.

I'm 6"2 and 290 pounds.

This is a Maplestory site. No one's going to hate on you for telling your weight.

Believe me, these people can help more if they know where you're coming from.

[quote=Heffalump08]We never said sweetened tea. I eat red meat on a daily basis.

Oh, and if you ever go out to eat a burger, get it lettuce-wrapped.[/quote]

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/12/health/red-meat-shorten-lifespan/index.html

CNN is a creditable source since it's world news.

Tea still has calories even if it's not sweetened. Try not to eat out as much as possible because making your own food is healthier because you decide the ingredients vs the food that's all ready made..

cardio, drink water, eat healthy stay away from junk food fast food etc. eat fruit/vegies and stay below ur maintenance calories also dont eat food high in saturated fat

AND BE COMMITTED

Ha. Fitness.

After awhile I just accepted the fact that I'm a fatass. Never been happier about my body.

[quote=Drag0nLlght]you have high metabolism and what you eat has a say in it. also, only a small chunk of what you eat is stored as energy, other are stored as fats

[quote=HorrorFiIms]What I do is I eat LOTTTSSSSSS OF FOOD. THEN AFTER THAT, I start pooping truck loads of poop, therefore expelling all that weight off of me. Then I feel slim and pretty. Hope this helped. If all else fails, then I suggest you message me so I can tell you an in-depth guide on how I remain slim as jim.[/quote]

Insanity. I'm doing it now, albeit that I'm not really fat...

Just doing it and it WORKS.

[quote=SapphireTurtle]Have sex. My friend lost about twelve pounds from having sex this month.[/quote]

"applauds"

[quote=Sergio676]I don't know if this has been said or not but I'll say it anyway.

Don't expect quick results. It is important that you remember this cause people often get discouraged when they don't lose lots of weight right away and so they just give up. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just keep in mind that being strong willed is vital.

Also an appointment with a nutritionist would be very beneficial.

Best of luck [/quote]

thanks
i know the journey won't be easy nor fast, but losing weight overall is a accomplishment for me and i will continue to do so until i reach my goal.

[quote=iShottedSnow]Most of what she said was correct.

@Taisuke: BMR isn't correct luls, some people have lots of muscle mass but the bmr says they're overweight [/quote]

lol bmr=/= bmi. Im talking about his basal metabolic rate not body mass index

[quote=RyuTiger]@escthefate It's important that he's losing fat first[/quote]
hmm, what should i be doing when i'm not being active?

[quote=iShottedSnow]@Laker1294: Yeah.. I'm just saying pls no beat me[/quote]

I won't and thanks for correcting me.

[quote=iShottedSnow]Red meat is a good source of protein, and you should specify on what type of exercise, assuming he just wants to lose weight then cardio would be more beneficial for him? Some people eat salad without dressing....?And You can buy apples and other fruits from more expensive stores where everything is fresh and doesn't have preservatives in them..?[/quote]

That's true but you shouldn't eat a lot of red meat to begin with, and what if he can't afford organic? Bananas are okay. I eat salad without dressing..it's kind of hard to at first..since its plain most people I know can't. Cardio..or p90x/insanity (if he can..not everybody can do it)

what exercises should i start off doing and how long? (for beginners)
what i do when i'm not exercising?
thanks a lot guys <3

[quote=milkocha]YES, drink lots and lots of water and tea[/quote]

Water is better though since it's 0 calories.

@heffalup08 I hope you're kidding about the human part..

Try to stay away from beef..it's red meat..

[quote=Heffalump08]Don't eat white bread and sugar. Eat lots of protein. Chicken, beef, human, eggs, cheese, etc...

I ate a lot of avocados when I lost my weight. They're very good for you. And never drink soda. Try iced tea as a substitute.[/quote]

YES, drink lots and lots of water and tea

[quote=iShottedSnow]Most of what she said was correct.

@Taisuke: BMR isn't correct luls, some people have lots of muscle mass but the bmr says they're overweight [/quote]

Uhm what did I say was incorrect?

[quote=ExSaber]what are some examples of healthier foods? other than that, thanks for the tips
also, how much of the foods should i be eating each time? assuming i eat around 4 meals a day.[/quote]

It's better if you eat 6 small meals instead of 3 big meals. I think you eat half of how much you would eat in one meal for 1 of six meals.. Eat until you're 80% full.

How much do you weigh right now?

Find you bmr. Calculate how many calories you can eat without doing anything. Watch your calories on a daily basis. Try not to surpass that amount. Most importantly do cardio on top of that. I lost 30 pounds this summer doing that. Totally ripped now, but I had to run about 5-8 miles a day 5-6 times a week. Don't bother lifting weights and stuff until you get your weight down to a manageable level. E.g you are 175 pounds meaning you need about 1.8-2k calories a day. Eat that amount with less than 50 grams of fat, while burning off 500-600 calories a day by running, walking, sports etc. basically your net intake will be 1.3-1.5k calories a day. A 500 net calories deficit per day x 7 is 3500 calories a week. You will lose 1 pound a week.

[quote=RyuTiger]Ok first off, you need to learn how to eat correctly. You can completely change your body by eating correctly. Now I know nothing of what you eat on a daily basis, but You cannot just drop what you eat by half. You will always be hungry and thinking about food. First off eat [b]HEALTHIER[/b]. This is vital, you need to eat much healthier options. This doesn't mean eat salads, this means eat foods with less fat content. Such as McDonald's. I'll admit i love Mcdonalds and i'll go and get myself like 3 mccdoubles and 3 mcchickens and just scarf em down. But what you could do is eat a chicken burger from elsewhere. Also if you're used to eating like 5 of em, why not try 4, then slowly move it down to 3 then 2. Always think about what you are going to eat rather than how much you are going to eat.

I'm not too good with the eating thing, but working out is my thing. Start [b]DAILY[/b], running or walking. At least two to three miles a day. Once it gets easier move up the milage.

Once you feel you're getting healthier through running you can start working out at a gym. I like to do Monday Wednesday and Friday, every week. Split up your workouts so you're doing 2 to 3 body parts a day. I do Chest and Back on Mondays, Shoulders and Arms on Wednesdays, and Legs on Fridays. It's up to you though.

So to wrap this up, Eat healthier, start running daily and consider applying to a gym. Good luck[/quote]

[quote=chivas]WTF? You must be fat.[/quote]

No I'm not...TS needs to eat healthy and exercise to lose weight.

@ExSaber No problem

@DrHye You can still eat the foods that you like but not as much as before..not saying that you can't eat junk food though.

Edit: Salads seem healthy but they're not unless your eating it with vinegrette or some other healthy dressings... Dressings like Ranch have sodium and saturated fat..

[quote=Laker1294]Diet and exercise. Drink lots of water.. Stay away from apples and other fruits that are shiny though (they inject preservatives into them and theyre not naturally shiny) also don't eat red meat. Eat wheat bread (good carbs) instead of white bread and avocado (good fats).. Chicken and Turkey are good if you're not vegetarian. Oh and stay away from salads..unless you're going to eat healthy dressing like vinegrette. Also don't eat foods high in saturated fat.[/quote]

I think I would die if I had to diet like this. Too many concerns with so many foods

Well, what I did was I began to walk everyday for around maybe an hour? Try to avoid soft drinks and drink plenty of water, have small meals 5 times a day(preferably once every 2-3 hours? I also began to walk to school instead of taking the car.

thanks for the tips

Find some sort of physical activity that you like doing or want to learn to do, otherwise excercising/working out becomes a chore.

Drink warm water in the morning and eat less fat food.

[quote=BlueBlueBandit]Start running fatass[/quote]
will do

If you genuinely cared about losing weight you would go somewhere with more expertise. As it stands I doubt your commitment to sparkle motion.

Avoid eating before going to bed,
Make a diary, or log of what you eat every day for a month and figure out what you're actually putting in your body.
