HELP??????

OK first of all i am going to say this, i am overweight for my age well i`m not just overweight but i am fat. i am 15 and 300lbs. I am just really tired of being fat and i need a little inspiration to help me.

here are some of my eating habits: i usually eat when i don't feel the need to eat it just gives me something to do. i eat just because i love the taste of food

i love to drink soda. i am getting braces in a few days so i am not going to be able to drink a whole lot of soda but most of my problems are with food

i also play football in the summer but once football season is over i just sit at home letting the weight gain on to my body.

my goal is to lose atleast 70lbs before this next football season which is in about 5 months.

So is there anyone in this soul speak world that could help me????

1. Eating Habits- The more you eat, the more you gain. Simple right. The less you eat, the less you gain. that is the false contrapositive statement. The last thing you want to do is put yourself in a position to become unhealthy. Chose Whole grain bread/cereal/rice/food/, low fat yogurt/cheese/food, and whole milk. You need to start small, you need to understand that this is not going to happen over night and you want to do this is the most correct manner possible. You are probably used to eating 3 meals a day(which most people are). The correct way is to have 6 small meals. Check some websites out for planning meals, there are lots. You need to fill yourself up at meal time with the good stuff so you have less of a craving for snacks which tend to be less healthy, quick, high in salt and fat.

2. Water. Drink it, a lot. Learn to Love it. drink it, live it, sleep it. Be it. It will be your friend. water will help you to lose weight. You body will use the water to break up the fat content and then it will make it easier for you to lose the weight. The recommended amount is 8 cups a day. I drink around 10. Refrain from drinking soda, coffee, slurpees, and alcohol.

3. Work out. Start out small. You have stairs in your house, use them. go up and down them as fast as you can well also being consistant. Push yourself as far as you can go, but not to far, because you body won't be used to it. You will know you limit. Write the number down and try and beat it in 2 days. Don't work the same muscles twice in a row. The next day, do some push ups and sit ups. I imagine that you can't do that many (as not even i can). Write that number down and beat it.

Don't forget to stretch a lot and have a warm up and a cool down. Your warm up could be a 5 min jog around the block or 100 jumping jacks (or whatever you think is acceptable). You cool down needs to be something to tell you body that you are done for the day. Don't just sit down right after your workout, it will cause you difficulty. Even if you feel like you can't go any more, you need to do a cool down. it could be just walking around with you hand on your head and kicking you legs. Once you feel you heartbeat going down, then you can start to rest. DRINK A LOT OF WATER WHILE WORKING OUT

It might be hard to fit a healthy or more active lifestyle into your current life, but don't forget about it. If you see the escalator, take the stairs. If you see a vending machine, buy the water. Do as much activities as you can


You have to be fully committed like 150%. You have to realize that this is going to be a lot harder than you think. Don't say that you will do it now and then flake out later. I think that if you put your mind to it, you will lose more than 70 pounds.

Stop eating because you are bored. i had the same problem. Go out and shoot some hoops, walk the dog, mow the lawn, shovel the driveway. Make yourself do something active when you are bored

thanks alot man!!!

would you mind tell me

Age:

Current Drinking Habits (what you drink, how much you drink, how often do you drink)


This might sound creepy or maybe not. You don't have to if you don't want, but if you could post a pic, that would be a big help. Then I could see the progress. Again, totally up to you
