I'm a 17 year old girl. I'm a size 15, 175 pounds. And I need to lose weight!! All my life I've struggled with my weight and I've always been bullied. All through grade school I was called chunky christina :( and even now that I'm a senior in hs people are still making fun of me for being over weight. I'm not "fat" but I am overweight. And all the bullying has finally gotten to me. I stopped going to school bc of it and now I want to change it! I don't have access to a gym :( so is there anything I can change about my life to help me lose weight? I'm not worried about how much I weigh. I just want to be a size 11-13 and I'd be happy. As of right now, I've cut out fizzy drinks, and white bread. And I'm not eating after 8 pm. I'm also moving more by like dancing while brushing my teeth, walking the dog, ect. Anything else I can do?!?! Please I really need help! Are there any good 10-15 minute at home workouts I can do?? Thanks for any answers!
How to Lose Weight Fast and Keep it Off
Recommended Answer:
First off, you seem to be starting out on the right path which is great :) Next, cut out all things fried in your diet (this helped me a lot). Drink some water before each meal because water can help speed up your metabolism and it also fills you up a little before meals so that you can avoid over eating. I'm a dancer and I know that when I'm in ballet class and we are doing leaps and jumps, my heart rate rises, which helps you burn calories faster. So when you wake up or when you are waiting for your food in the microwave, etc, just try and do some jumps in place to get your heart rate going. Overall, you seem to be on the right path already! :) and I'm sorry that you were bullied but, don't let that get you down! Once you start to see an improvement, you will feel so good about yourself and your self esteem will be boosted immensly! :)

- Your need to change your moving style. Walk 1 hours per day by foot, do half an hour yoga, go cycling and try to maintain your food habit.
- Do squats.
- exercise, it is the best way to do that.
- I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.
