You could lose about 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Dont become anorexic!! Go to the gym in your spare time or:: Here's some weight loss tip's which you can do everyday: - Exercise 6 to 7 days a week. - And try to break your workout into two different sessions, this gives your metabolism a jolt. - Drink 6 to 8 cups of water a day. And try to drink ice cold water, it burns more calories. - Take enough vitamins, especially ones that promote weight loss (such as 1800 mg. of Fish Oil, Vitamin B Complex, Co-enzyme Q-10, ect. Do your research). - Drink green tea or take green tea pills ( it's been shown to speed up your metabolism). - For your metabolism's sake, eat within 1 hour of waking up and don't eat 3 hours before you go to bed. - Try a vegan or vegetarian diet (it worked for me :D). - Drink 12 oz. of warm lemon water (use the juice of 1/2 a lemon) with a little sea salt every morning. This will detoxify your body and make your skin look amazing. - Or, if giving up meat just isn't your thing, just count calories. Try to have around 1200 a day. - Try to avoid white, bleached, or enriched flour. - Stay away from high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. - Eat every 2 to 4 hours to keep your metabolism going. - Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism up. - Try to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. When your body is deprived of sleep your appiteite increases by 15%. - Sugar and artificial sweeteners are the devil. If you have a sweet tooth, grab some fruit. - Avoid all junk food, fast food, and fried food. - Try only drinking water, tea, and black coffee. There are so many hidden calories in drinks. - Eat whole grain foods and healthy fats (like olives, avacados, nuts, ect) and stay away from refined or "bad" carbs.

I am 16 years old and I have lost weight from 191lbs to 154 lbs in 3 months. How can I push myself to lose the final 10 lbs?
Hey there! First of all, congrats on the weight loss so far. Like you, when I was 16 I lost a ton of weight, I went from 186 to 137. I ended up actually going a bit too far and wound up really skinny, which was not healthy. I saw continued weight loss as an achievement even when it started to border on dangerous. It’s really easy to get into that destructive mindset once you get on a roll. So while I wish you all the best in your goals, just be sure you don’t go too far.Now on to your question, you want to know what exercises you can do to keep dropping weight. I understand your frustration, the last few pounds are always hard to work off because as you lose weight, your metabolism slows down. This is because you need less calories to function. So you might want to recalculate your caloric intake. Also, we have a built in survival mechanism called metabolic adaption that allows our bodies to adjust to a reduced caloric intake and learn to function with what it gets without losing weight. The answer to this problem is not to cut your calories more and starve yourself, but to actually increase your intake a bit for a few weeks in a metabolic adjustment period. This lets your body readjust to eating more calories and reverse the metabolic adaption so that when you start to lower your intake again you get the same steady progress you had at the beginning of your weight loss.As for exercise, your body adjusts similarly. If you regularly do a lot of cardio, you will start to burn less and less calories as your body learns to adapt to the work. So the answer to this again is to do less. If you over do it on the workouts you won't get the full effect.So overall, don't try get past your weight loss plateau by slashing calories and ramping up cardio too much. Just be patient and learn to be happy in your own skin. Good Luck (:

Hi Tristan, that is good you have the drive to lose weight and looking for a strict diet program. however, since you are at the growth stage, i recommend you consult with your family’s primary healthcare physician, before undertaking a caloric limiting program. teenagers weight fluctuate, due to their growth cycle. Otherwise.Keep on truckin’…& good luck in the future!!
Is 110 pounds a good weight for a 16 year old girl?
It's the farthest thing from fat; in fact it's underweight. It would put you at a BMI of 18.3, and 18.5 and under is underweight. Eat everything in moderation and exercise and don't worry about what the scales or other people say; as long as you're healthy, you'll be better off in the long run, whether you're 120 lb or 140 lb or whatever.
