i am 2 fat

I'm a 15 year old girl, I weigh about 230 lbs, and im 5'5. Im so tired of it. I hate looking in the mirror, i hate going shopping I don't even like to go out. I want to change. I am very motivated to do this. I want to do it the healthy way,I am not comfortable with the way i look or feel. So I decided enough is enough, I want to weigh about 120-130, by next year, and I want to feel ok about myself. I am prepared to do anything it takes. I need a plan though. I work better off of like a "check list" or "directions" type stuff. I have a treadmill, but i don't know exactly how often i should use it or for how long, i need a plan like i said. I know how to count calories, I figure if i lose about 10 pounds a month its healthy, and i will reach my goal by my dead line.
Here are the things im worried about:
1. When i lose all the weight i am TERRIFIED of having like lose skin. I want to know ways i can start working out without equipment (besides a treadmill) so i dont end up with lose skin. (thighs tummy and arms are my main concern)
2. I want to make sure this diet is something i can fit into my daily routine. (school, family, ect.)
3. I want it to be discreet. I don't want anyone to know im doing this so when people see me after a while they'll be surprised!

Anyone who can give me any advice, it would mean the world to me. I'm getting to the point where i hate myself, and I know its not good.

Also: i dont eat junk food. My family is good about cooking at home, its rare we eat out, and i dont even like soda,chips, ect. So i really dont know where all this weight comes from, i know when i eat i usually do have seconds. But I see my friends eating all day chips, soda, candy, more chips, and they are fine. I just thought i should mention im not a junk food eater, i dont even like juice really. Thanks for taking the time to read, and thanks if you decide to answer!

I don't want to dig through pages of comments, but have you seen the doctors about your weight problem? That's the best solution for you since they can figure out what's wrong with your system by testing your blood and stuff.

Remember that counting calories is not everything. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-200-calories-look-like.htm

First off just do something, anything really. Just increasing your activity level will help you towards your goal. Remember cardio is you friend when it comes to dropping weight. Do body weight resistance training like push ups, planks, squats, burpees, and mountain climbers. Your diet is really good since you're avoiding junk, however you have to work on portion control. You have to eat to refuel your body, don't eat for fun. Food should be like medicine, take it when you need it.

@Nashi: that can only be done if they either a) wanna stress about it their entire lives.

or b) they were above their set point weight and once they balanced their life out better they dropped the extra weight they were carrying that their body didn't want.

[quote=Nashi]@Wordolio: then what about those people that eat and eat and eat and don't gain any weight? Calories don't seem to matter so much.
Also, I recently read that the bacteria inside a fat and skinny person's body differ a lot and there have been tests with a certain bacteria.
But anyway, all the SiS diet does is program your body so it will burn your fat at night and not take the energy elsewhere.
And cutting out a lot of calories puts your body under a lot of stress which will result in double the weight gain so it's really not the way to go. Even if you only simply cut calories by a little I don't think it's worth it much if you keep up eating habits (e.g. wrong foods) and SiS is a 3-meal-plan anyway. I didn't cut calories at first and lost weight anyway, so how is that? I should have gained weight according to your logic.[/quote]

my logic of set point weight? do you even know what a set point is. it explains why fat people stay fat and skinny people stay skinny. calories has so little to do with it.

You eat way too much calories. If you eat 3000 calories of brocoloi, you'll be fat but at 1500 of calories of ice cream you can potentially be skinny. Also, your parents may cook with high calorie oils and bad stuff. Prepare your own food and drastically cut back caloriewise. You may need surgery after to remove excess skin (I'm half trolling but honestly, instead of having some nasty "deflated muffin top belly".

[quote=Nashi]@Wordolio: it's not dieting at all. It is eating normal (you can eat as much as you like basically. In the run of it I did get used to eating as much as I NEEDED and not wanted though, meaning I ate until I didn't feel hungry anymore, not until I felt pressure in my tummy)
It's not a diet it's just a change of rhythm which helps your pancreas relax and it triggers something in your body that programs it to use your fat as energy source. The proteine for dinner is meant to avoid producing large amounts of insuline (which would make the body TAKE IN energy -> make fat cells flow) to "unlock" the fat as an energy source for the body to use at night (cause you do all the healing at night). I can't quite explain it, I never owned the book for it but my friend did and she let me in on it. I also saw some shows on it on TV which explained how it worked.
I got no yoyo-effect, obviously it didn't stress my body out. I'm keeping my weight so far +/- 1-2kg.
There also IS variety, all you simply do is seperate what you eat. It's nothing more, really. And you take 5h breaks which isn't a big deal either. In the end you got 3 meals with regular amount, you could eat a few buns or sandwiches with nutella (no joke I ate bread with nutella for breakfast for a while), for lunch you can eat whatever you like (just a normal lunch. Nothing you gotta watch over there) and for dinner the only thing you gotta consider is to avoid carbs. That's it, really and it works. I experienced it myself I'd understand if people wouldn't trust it if I'd just say this cause I read it, but I actually EXPERIENCED it. I wouldn't recommend stuff that isn't a first-hand experience of mine or a second-hand experience from a family member or friend. I really don't listen to strangers about crap like that

the only way to drop below your set point is to physically starve your body. whether you be cutting just a little bit out or a lot, but that's how simple weight loss is.

I'm 5'4 and weigh 103. inb4 anorexic (yay great metabolism) Anyways I'm glad you're actually going to work out and eat healthy. Most fat people just give up. 120-130 seems like a good weight to aim for. I do not know the answers to your question though as I do not have to lose weight anytime soon. But I hope you reach your goal and good luck.

I editted it anyway and added to it but it's still kinda annoying how people seemingly TRY to misread (e..g Pebbles reading that I wrote only drink 3 cups of water a day? x-x).
Didn't think people could misread that so easily, English isn't my native language so my feeling for English isn't 100% so my bad.

@Nashi: The way you wrote it made it seem like you could lose that certain amount of weight in that short time frame. And you can lose that much weight, MMA fighters cut and bulk before fights, sometimes losing up to 30lbs.

What you said was basically saying, oh you should try to get a job at target and work there for 2-3 weeks, I made a million dollars there (you know, without specifying the amount of time, because that is very relevant).

losing weight at your age, and your size is fairly easy with dedication. most of the fat you have is very easy fat to get rid of. if you catch yourself walking on a treadmill for 30-60 minutes a day, and doing some jumping jacks and drinking water only for your beverages, you'll lose so much very fast. dont get discouraged no matter what. Itll all be worth it in the end, and dont starve yourself. get the reccomended calories you need a day. eat leaner meats ect. you dont need all this fancy stuff people talk about. just work at it.

Exact same for me. EVERYONE who has a nice body eats all this junk food and crap. I barely even eat anything, and I eat homemade dinners 93% of the time. So I obviously didn't get my belly from eating food. Me and my brother do the same exact activities and eat the same exact food. He has a natural six pack and everything, and I have like a big stomach and such.

Just more of my unluckiness.

First of all, start with changing your diet - personal experience. What you can do is DEFINITELY cut out the seconds and eat less at each meal, but add in snacks between meals (these can even be carbs, but do not exagerate with it), like one fruit, a few biscuits, or something. This method will speed up your metabolism which results in constant organism workout (your body will transform aliments into nutrients, resulting in more energy consumption). Do not use your treadmill now, cause all that extra weight will put a lot of strain on your legs' bones. Once you see you stopped losing weight (you are stagnating now) or losing it SLOWLY, start working out. Treadmill now, at low speeds and constantly increase as you can run longer and longer. Hit up gym, seek help from a trainer. This is the stage where you should focus on more proteins for some muscle (and while relaxing after a workout session, your body uses a lot of energy to process protein) and aliments that are a source of energy for working out. Now it all depends on varying exercises and diet and keep going at it.
Remember, you want to lose weight at a steady pace to keep healthy; losing A LOT in a very short amount of time IS BAD! (at the beginning the loss will be big, don't threat about it cause it's normal)
Also, DO NOT CONSIDER STARVING as DIET! starving IS THE OPPOSITE of diet! If you starve/ skip as many means as possible, you will gain weight back soon enough. Your organism will remember what you did to it and once you eat again it will make deposits > extra weight.
PS. Drink LOTS AND LOTS of water! and no fizzy water, especially after a work out session
this is what I did since September last year, and hit the gym in February... in my case the results were very pleasing

first of all, CALORIES DON'T MATTER. They do, but not as much as people think they do. At least for most guys. Calories are a measure of the amount of "food energy" you will get. You are advised to not go past your daily caloric needs, or else you will be taking in more than you will be losing. Your caloric needs are determined by how much exercise you get daily. On the most part, only guys should have to worry about calories, unless you eat WAY over your calories as a girl.
However,
You should be more wary of the quality of the food you eat. This is very important. Learn how to read nutrition labels (For example, the ingredients that are listed are listed in order in terms of amount. I would stay away from products that have sugar in the first 2 or 3 depending on what the product is). Stay away from junk food PERIOD, as well as fast food places. If the food you eat is good quality, your exercise will pay off better.
Sodium and sugar is something you should definitely look out for. Reduce your intake on both of them. You can find how much are in something by looking at the nutrition facts (for example, however many grams of sodium or sugar are in the product).
Eat your fruits and vegetables, if you have a tough time with this, i HIGHLY advise you to use juicing as a method of taking in your daily needs of fruits and vegetables. It takes the nutrients and puts into a handy little drink. Plus it tastes good. Also, be aware that buying pre-made juices like apple juice ISNT a worthwhile shortcut because the juice is pasteurized. This means it was cooked, in a way some of the nutrients are taken away.
A misconception is that starving yourself will make you skinny. If you stopped eating or regulated your eating so much that you became skinny because of it, your body will go into an "emergency" and will convert most of the food you eat afterwards into FAT. This is because fat is high in calories. You may also become ill and have side effects like dizziness.
Be smart about the foods you buy. READ the products. Ill take V8 for example. Its a great way to get your fruits and vegetables, but many of the v8 products are different.
some may say "Full serving of fruits and vegetables!" but if you take a look on the back, it could say something like (1/4 serving of fruits and vegetables per 8 fluid ounce glass). This means you'll have to drink 4 full 8 f.oz glasses to get your full daily needs of fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, that much could be half the container, so be wise and read the products.
You should get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Depending on how much you want this, you can go as long as you want. Just be smart about it so you dont over-work yourself. Anything that gets your heart pumping faster than normal will burn calories. Keep this up and you'll be thinner.
Oh, and another thing, DO NOT take in too many carbs. My ex went on a no-bread diet and lost 45 or so pounds in just 2 months.
PM me if you have any questions

Edit: And for the love of god please limit the time you spend doing nothing physically.

[quote=Azngothopz]Okay, I've done a ton of research on losing weight for the past few years and I've done a ton of testing on myself and I found a pretty good formula for losing weight.

Diet: Avoid carbs and sugars. Eat proteins and fats. So your meal should consist of meat + veges. Fruits are okay but they do have a lot of sugar so be careful. You wanna avoid sugars and carbs because they raise insulin which makes u fat. To find out which foods raise your insulin, look up the Glycemic index chart and base your meals off of there.
The most important thing when it comes to a diet is to beat ur hunger. How do you do that? Eat before you get hungry. So what I did was split my lunch in twos and my dinner into twos. Once u get hungry, its hard not to stuff yourself.

Exercise: Don't do a lot of cardio. Doing a lot of cardios will make you hungry and not to mention destroy w.e muscle u already have. So instead of jogging on a treadmill for an hr, walk half an hr + weight training for now. For weight training, you can start lifting light weights if you want or if your not into that or have access, do push ups, squats situps and you can add more complex exercises later. Once you feel comfortable with exercising start doing hiit and fat will really melt off your body. And once you can do hiit , then your treadmill can become more useful. So for hiit what you want to do is sprint as fast as you can for 30 seconds and rest a minute, then sprint for 30 seconds rest for a min until ten mins or until you are completely drain. Once it gets easier cut down on ur rest time.[/quote]

To be fair, what you wrote wasn't clear at all.

"for 2-3 weeks try Slim in Sleep. It worked well for me, lost most with it (lost around 30lbs)"

If you are going to say you lost a certain amount of weight, then say: you should try out "so and so" for 2-3 weeks. I was on it for "x amount of time" and I lost 30lbs.

-losing 30lbs in 2-3 weeks is unhealthy.
-Carbs help gain weight, not lose it.
-Protein doesnt really help with weight loss, only gaining muscle
-Youre supposed to eat 1 small meal every 2 hours (6 small meals/day), not 3 large meals (Lots of people tend to do that)
-I agree with the sleep, drink (water), and not skipping breakfast part.
-I wouldnt advise drinking 1 cup of water per meal (Which in your case would be only 3 cups of water). It is intended for the average human being to drink 1 gallon of water per day.

@Wordolio If you have no muscle at all, then you would look like a twig. Im 6'3 and 216 lbs.[/quote]

Everything u said is correct, except protein. Protein not only helps repair and rebuild muscles, it helps fill you faster, in order words makes u feel fuller quicker and keeps u feeling full. Hence why the atkins diet is so effective in terms of weight loss, so it does infact help in weight loss. And not to mention that muscles burns more calories at a resting state than having fat, so that too would aid in weight loss.

@DrPebble:
- didn't lose 30lbs in 2-3 weeks.
- carbs (e.g. in morning) are for energy boost.
- proteine has components that the body needs to repair, by eating it as dinner (+5h break, and I'm too lazy to translate the reasons cause it's some kind of new German diet .__.) you provide your body with what it needs to heal over night (healing -> burning calories. This way the FAT will be used as energy source, not the blood sugar etc)
- I did the 3meals/5h break for weeks and lost weight just fine. Didn't gain anything back (so no yoyo effect for me there.)
- I already wrote that in the 5h break you're only allowed water and tea. Naturally she will get hungry during the break and end up drinking to fill up her tummy. Next time please read what I write properly, I never said to only drink those 3 cups the entire day.... tssss
@Wordolio: It's not a starvation diet. AT ALL.
AGAIN, when I first started this diet I pigged out all of those 3 meals (as in, I'd eat as much as I was able to). You don't starve at all with this method. I did it fine, I lost weight, I gained nothing back (aside, ofc, during those times when I eated a lot of crap daily). I'm perfectly healthy. Many have done it and they all get great results. They don't suffer from hunger and they don't lose the weight from eating too few (cause again, I pigged out at first. [i]lost weight anyway[/i] cause it "programs" your body in a certain way.)
The calorie intake is perfectly fine.
I'm aware it sounds fishy cause it's not a diet known outside of my country (Germany) and as far as i'm concerned it exists since 2010 (so it's still rather new), but again, it works.
the 5h gap enables your pancreas to take a break and your body gets used to it. Chill out.

It's really easy to eat like this. Just cut out all of the crap like bread, chips, noodles, anything sugary, etc. and you'll be fine. Take the bun off those burgers, get a plate of protein at Denny's instead of the usual pancake Grand Slam, don't put any sugar in your coffee and make the change to unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk. You'll drop the weight so fast this way, trust me. You just have to keep your caloric intake reasonable and the fat intake high still. I didn't feel hungry at all while I was doing this. I actually had to force myself to eat throughout the day to meet my caloric needs. Also, my blood pressure was surprisingly pretty healthy (65/80) at my peak of eating low carb (Bacon!=heart attacks, surprisingly).

Hell, I'll be your keto buddy if you want. I'm just doing the gym and eating sensibly right now to build muscle, but I want to switch back to eating high fat, low carb because it's much cheaper on the groceries this way.

As for the loose skin, eventually it'll go back to normal after time, but if you work on building muscle at the same time, it shouldn't be that bad and your weight loss should be even faster.

PS. PM me if you're serious about this.

your probably a natural endomorph where you gain weight easily even if you dont eat unhealthy... its in your genes and its really unlucky... Sorry but the only thing you can do is go on a serious diet and train and you will be garenteed to be more healthy and strong but not to the bone skinny but averagly skinny. But dont ever think about starving your self to be skinny, thats worse then being over weight. just keep up the diet and training and you will see results no doubt in a month or so

I'm glad you're looking forward to losing weight the healthy way. I know that certain food may be considered the weight-adder, but remember that EXCERCISE is also important as the amount of food you put in. I am sure, like most teenagers, you don't do much exercise. Try to walk more or ride a bike instead of taking the bus, trains, or cars with your daily commutes. [url=http://www.blogilates.com/calendar/beginners-calendar-for-popsters-just-starting-out]Here[/url] are already planned out pilates that my friends have been using to keep fit, which I have been too lazy to start on (not that I need to lose any weight, but just want to feel healthier).

Edit: I'm sorry if I might be repeating myself. But please don't count EVERY SINGLE calorie intake. I really feel like people who excessively count their calories kill the enjoyment of eating. Please focus more on including a lot of physical activities in your daily lifestyle. Join a sports team at school, exercise at home, jog, walk/bike, swim, and do community services, because you need to work on feeling better about yourself, small things that makes up who YOU are, not just your appearance.

you will likely gain a LOT of the weight back if you try to make yourself drop to 120-130. you were not made to be that like, i know that for a fact.

i'm sorry.

as much as i'd like to be 155-160lbs at 6'3, my healthiest weight is 185. it's just life. but i strongly urge you to read ALL of those articles i posted.

Loose skin is a result of rapid weight loss.
Stretch marks are inevitable but can be treated with various creams.
My best advice, don't do these diets that promise quick results and outrageous diets, you're wasting your time.(Pretty sure theres like a omega trip zx fish oil diet) Prepare yourself, rocket science info coming. Everyone is different, albeit metabolism, hormones, and random things like stress play a factor but regardless of that. What you eat dictates your weight. Now I'm sure there are plenty of left winged fat appreciation activist that would disagree, but if you want to follow the advice of someone equally as large then by all means go ahead.
diet diet diet
exercise exercise exercise
You get what you put in. So that day you feel like you deserve a cheat meal, don't do it.
Since I'm not aware of everything that goes on in your life my advice could be very limited. Honestly, everything you learn in health class is beneficial (mostly common sense).
Aside from the effort put into exercises, I also suggest reading. Please don't be sucked into false advertisements like jenny craig and weight watchers that deliver meals to your door.
Bleh most of this is just random facts put here and there but really check out bodybuilding.com they are more equipped to handle these questions. And good luck

IMO there is no such thing as a "diet", just limit the bad stuff you eat and you're good mate. Also don't cut out all the bad food in one go, take it slowly and decrease the amount as you go so you don't go pig mode when you see food.

EDIT: @Wordolio is right about that diet, starving yourself will most definitely give you loose skin since you're losing the fat so quickly and once you're off that 2 week diet or w/e you'll be eating like no tomorrow and will easily gain it back.

p.s. don't do any of those starvation diets like @nashi said and don't listen to @ulti25

go see a dietician. you will be surprised at how effortless weight loss is. and on top of that how easy it is to maintain your healthy weight.

some people naturally weigh more than others. that's just a fact

here read this, you will understand further.

if you aren't overeating daily, you will stay at your healthy weight.
