Exercise daily and eat the right foods, I know you have probably heard the same thing before but it really helps, you can find fun excerises that don't seem so boring... Invite a friend over for a game of basketball, baseball, volleyball, race a few friends see who wins.. There's tons of fun exercises you can do to help you lose weight and get fit!
Foods, there are some good and tasty foods out there to help out your diet, fruits are always good (smoothies rock!), you can get your daily amount of fruits in veggies in one or two smoothies, Take a look at your BMI which will tell you what weight range you should be in. Good Luck!I need advice on how to lose weight! if anyone out there has any good tips no matter what size plz answer!?

After you dinner, the only thing that you should eat is fresh fruit and vegetables (as much as you want). Night snacking on the chips and crunches without exercise to work it off puts on weight while you sleep.
Hi there,
To lose 30 lbs by September is possible but that would mean you have to lose 10 lbs a month. That would mean you would need to lose 2.5 lbs a week. Not saying there is anything wrong but sometimes it doesn't go the way we want it to, you know? It all depends on your body really (metabolism), how you control your food intake and how much excercise you do.
For you, 30 mins of cardio 3-4 days a week would be fine since you are working after school. Do not push yourself too hard because some people have a tendency of going over their limit that they actually burn muscle than fat. An hour of cardio is enough if you are doing low intensity intervals (example, jogging or walking). But 30 minutes is more than enough if you are running, swimming, cycling etc.
You can include some weight training too as building lean muscle will also help burn even more fat. If you decide to include some weight training, make sure you target your abs, chest, back, legs, shoulders, biceps and triceps.
For food, really all you need to do is watch what you eat. The type of food you eat is important. Fruits and vegetables are healthier while soda and other junk food are unhealthy. If you notice that you are eating the more unhealthy foods then you know you need more healthier food.
Also, portion control is important. For breakfast, you need to have enough food to fuel you until lunch. They say it's the most important meal of the day. Two slices of toast, eggs and fresh fruit juice will do fine (or whatever you know feels right for you to eat at a healthy rate). Avoid fried food or frying food and grill them instead. Do not be too severe with your food intake as sometimes these diets prove too drastic a change for people, which puts them off their course on the diet.
Don't be too hard on yourself because you are going to be slapping yourself silly at points. Good luck and have fun on your weight lose journey. Remember to be patient, the weight will come off eventually.
here some tips

Always Think Fit:
First step in exercise is to always Think FIT. To make physical improvements, you need to work your body harder than usual. This is referred to as the overload principle. As your body becomes more conditioned, you need to increase the frequency, intensity, or time of your workouts in order to continue improving your fitness level
Choosing an Exercise:
The best exercise is an activity that you enjoy enough to really pursue enthusiastically.
鈥?Indoor (Facility) Activities: If the treadmill, stairmaster, rowing machine or stationery cycle doesn't excite you, sample some group activities that strike your fancy. Participate in a group cycling class, beat stress with yoga, find balance with martial arts, stay cool with indoor swimming, or kick some you-know-what with boxaerobics.
1. Change your eating habits (i.e. start eating smaller portions of food) before if you ate a full plate of food try eating 2/3 of a plate instead.
2.
o Substitute aspartame for sugar
o Try eating 3 or 4 smaller meals during the day rather than 2 large ones
o Eat your main large meal at midday with the other meals much smaller in content
o Don't eat heavy meals late in the evening as the body wont have time to digest it so it ends up stored as fat in your body.
o Balance your meals out during the day so in one day you have a mix of protein, carbohydrate and vitamins
o Drink lots of water during the day and before, during and after exercise, you should drink at least 8 big glasses of water per 24 hours
o Drink alcohol in moderation
o Stop smoking if you smoke or cut down
o Eat more fibre i.e. pulses grains nuts, pasta, brown rice, cereals, fresh fruit
o Eat more vegetables as part of your diet
o Eat less dairy products or choose those with less fat content i.e. cottage cheese
o Try steaming or poaching food instead of frying it, frying adds calories by the bucketful
o Cut down on Red meat and eat more lean or better still chicken and fish instead
o Use low fat oils in cooking i.e. sunflower, corn or Mazola
o Cut down on your salt intake, there are hidden salts even in tinned foods
o Try substituting carrots or fresh fruit instead of biscuits and sweetmeat when you have a craving for something in between meals.
o Drink semi or skimmed milk as opposed to full cream
Simply choose a diet which is low in fat and cholesterol, moderate in sugar and salt and high in fibre but at the same time has a variety of everything thus making it a balanced diet.
Calculate your BMR!!!!
BMR means Basal Metabolic Rate.It is used to estimate how many calories you should consume.By using a simple formula called the Harris-Benedict principle, you can assess your BMR.
Your BMR is the amount of energy your body needs to function.Then, to lose weight, you'll need to cut calories or burn extra calories and shoot for a level lower than the results you get with this formula.
We use about 60 percent of the calories we consume each day for basic bodily functions such as breathing.Other factors that influence your BMR are height, weight, age and sex.
Step One : Calculate your BMR with the following formula:
鈥?Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
鈥?Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step two : In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
鈥?If you are sedentary : BMR x 1.2
鈥?If you are lightly active: BMR x 1.375
鈥?If you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 1.55
鈥?If you are very active (You exercise daily.): BMR x 1.725
鈥?If you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 1.9
Create a Calorie Deficit:
In order to lose weight, you must create a calorie deficit. It is easier and healthier to cut back your calorie intake a little bit at a time.
Every 3,500 calories is equivalent to 1 pound.
If you cut back 500 calories a day, you will lose 1 pound per week.
If you exercise to burn off 500 calories a day you will also lose 1 pound per week.
Ideally, you should do a combination of both, (e.g. cut back 250 calories; burn an extra 250 calories).
