Hey Guys,

I have been over weight my whole life. I eat 900 calories a day, and exercise well regularly. I am 14 years old, 164cm tall, and I weigh 75kg. I wear a size 10-12 . I am a 12F cup. Natural, and i am not obese, I just have a chubby tummy and pudgy legs. My bust and hip measurements are 107cm each, and my waist is 80 cm. I have lost 17cm off my waist and I have lost 10kg in the past year. I eat plenty of vegetables and fish, I am a vegetarian. I also drink lots of herbal tea.I occasionally snack on biscuits or jam on toast, but I don’t eat that much. I have bowel problems too. i have seen a dietician, who is puzzeld as to why I can’t lose weight (meaning fat). I have also tried the acai berry diet. NOTHING WORKS. I do have low self esteem, but i am learning to accept my curvy figure. I don’t want to be small, I just want to be slim.

I really need some genuine advice for weight loss, any tricks and tips; It’s distressing me beyond belief! I want to make my stomach flat and my thighs slim.

Thanks!!
Thanks so much guys, I couldn’t choose a best answer, because they’re all really good.
I do have anxiety disorder and I have always had a pot belly (not humongus, just rounded :/)
Interesting answer about body weight capacity…hm, Thankyou for bringing some science into that.

ps) Tiempo B guy, I’m not a pear, I’m an hourglass, due to my measurements, I just carry weight on my thighs and stomach. Why did you send me a picture of a pear shaped woman?

Well is it?
Breakfast: Quaker Oatmeal with 1/2 c. or oatmeal with 1 c. or 2% milk topped with a little bit granola and a banana OR whoke wheat toast with tbs. of red caviar OR a 100 calorie granola bar with a banana or apple.
Snack: tea OR granola bar with tea.
Lunch: always a sandwhich of two whole wheat bread slices with lettuce, 2 slices of turkey and a slice of yellow low fat cheese. This follows with an apple OR banana.
Dinner: Usually a small peice of meat(beef or chicken) with a small bowl of salad. the salad consists of 1 t. or vinegar and 1 t. or olive oil. with lettuce and a little bit of sweet peppers.
This is my everyday diet which is about 1,200 calories a day. Well I try to get in 1,200. Is this good enough to mantian my current weight or possibly loose some. I am 15 yrs. and weigh about 135. Am 5′6.

BTW: I am going out for chinese with my freinds this friday-will one time going out to eat at a resturant make me gain weight. If so, what should I order to avoid that. I heard steamed rice,veggies and possibly chicken is best.
THANKYOU TO ALL ANSWERS FOLKS!

This is typically what i eat everyday…

9am- individual serving instant oatmeal
12pm- bowl of string beans
3pm- bowl of tomato soup
6:30pm- baked fish, brown rice, broccoli
the protein at dinner is always fish or chicken
starch is always brown rice, or red potato
vegi is always broccoli, brussel sprouts, peas, or spinach

I drink 2-3 cups of hot herbal green tea

I drink 8-12 glasses of water

I work out 30-45 min a day (usually hip hop abs or tabeo)
These things are done 5-6 days a week and i usually eat out 1-2 days a week, on the weekend and very cautiously.

Eating this way usually brings me to about 1000 calories a day give or take. I have a bad evening habit that causes me to snack at night bringing me to about 1300 calories a day. I’ve been doing this for about 9 weeks and i’ve seen results not sure how many lbs i’ve lost cause i refuse to get on a scale….

what do you think???
This may help im 26, 5′7" and when i started eating this way i was 190 lbs
Im dont get up till about 7:30 and i leave for work at 8:15. so I eat my oatmeal when I get to my office at 9

mix it up ach day with different soups and maybe have the beans in the mourning instead of dinner and change the snacks around

try gt at least 30 mins of exercise in each day

basically i want to hear from ppl what they would change how nutritional it is and how effective for weight loss
oh i go to the gym for 1 hour1/2
6 out of 7 days each week
i was sayin that for someone if they dont have that option ……i did it before and lost like a stone last november i just wondering if any1 can spice it up and what the nutitional value of it is

Breakfast- normal healthy breakfast like meusli, porridge, bran flakes, slice of toast, fruit and yoghurt, scrambled eggs on toast etc..
and a coffee

snack- fruit (e.g banana, apple, strawberries and raspberries, orange, pear etc..)

Lunch- Healthy lunch like a panini, sandwhich, veggie sausages with salad, tuna jacket potatoe, soup with a roll etc..
AND a cappacino medium from like starbucks, caffe nero, costa etc..

Snack- snack- fruit (e.g banana, apple, strawberries and raspberries, orange, pear etc..)

Dinner- Healthy dinner! Like pasta, noodles, chicken, fish with salad and potatoes etc..

I won’t eat after dinner
For drinks other than coffee (i’m an addict i usually have 4 but going to cut down to 2 a day!), I’ll just drink water as well as some herbal tea here and there

I will also walk as much as i can instead of bussing it or getting a lift from my mum.

Will I lose weight like this or am I eating too much still? I’m trying to lose weight, but don’t want to like starve myself as I’ve already tried this. Although I lost like a stone in a week, I’ve gained it all but trying to do it the healthy way. I don’t really know how to lose weight healthily though, thanks.

I’m worried I’m eating too much in order to lose weight?

Hi All,

I’m about 177cm tall usually a thin build (not anymore) and it seems that my metabolism is catching up to me.. straight to my butt and thighs…and the most depressing my tummy! ;( (I’ve always had a flat tummy… not anymore!!) and it was bound to happen since I LOVE junk food eg Hungry Jacks, McDonalds, chinese, all that stuff..

So it’s been two days into this "eating right" schedule and im starving!! (but i havent been eating crap for 2 days!) my diet comprises of:

- lean meats (mostly fish)
- veggies (baked mushrooms and others)
- Celery with Hummus dip (snack)
- Three bean mix (washed and drained)
- Oats (in the morning)
- Tea ( with low fat milk)
- 2litres of water a day

and 30 mins of treadmill exercise (running and power-walking) a night – 5 days a week

Will these MASSIVE changes take effect and help me lose weight?

I hope all of these sacrifices I’m making will work !!
amy_27, I’m positive it’s emotional hunger.. when I’m angry I get very hungry!

I will get over it.. thanks for your advice guys

3 PM: lunch: usually ramen, rice with salty korean veggies, sometimes rice and fish, or fast food (usually chinese take out and water bottle or burritos). i tend to overeat at this time because afterschool im starving!!

7 PM: rice and soup (korean food) i try to eat only a little bit, just enough so i wont feel terribly hungry, but often the food is so tasty that i get carried away and eat seconds

7 to 11 PM: hot herbal tea (chamomile, rose, lavendar, anything to stay warm and that helps to sleep or relax the digestive system.

OK, im 5′2" and weight 125 lbs. that is overweight. my doctor said i should be under a 100 lbs but as long as its between 95-105 its acceptable and healthy. so it seems there is a lot wrong with my diet (i dont exersize, that could be another thing) but what? please help

I have been dieting and exercising for two weeks now.

I’ve added veggies to my diet, I cut down soda to an occasional minimum (and thats only to ween myself off it even more) and I’ve been eating breakfast.

I eat cereal with Yogurt and a glass of V8 Fusion

Salad for Lunch with cheese and light dressing (thousand island, and to the serving size) with some crystal light – cherry drink.

Dinner is normal, whatever my mom cooks and I don’t overeat it either.

For a snack I have another yogurt or something small

If I go out to eat (mostly chinese) I mostly eat sushi and have ice tea, no sugar. but I never overeat.

I was a 155 pounds 2 weeks ago. I went down to 151 but now I’m 153. I excercise daily (either at work, where I am never sitting down or with Dance Dance Revolution since its all I have)

Any ideas why I’m not losing like I should? Anything I should be doing differently?
