I'M TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT! WANNA HELP??

[Joes_So_Cool]

Hello, this is going to be something about my day to day adventures and how I am going to (attempt) to loose weight.

 

My name is Joe, I am currently going into my freshman year at my towns high school.

 

I am turning 15 on September 27th am 5,9 and weigh 175lbs.

 

I don't know or care if that is average weight, over weight or under weight, I THINK I AM BIG. I'm not going to be shy, I have stretch marks pretty bad. I have man boobs somewhat and I'd LOVE to loose a few lbs.

 

I am going to try to eat healthy and go for runs.

 

I am going to keep a log of all the exercise I get daily and what I eat daily.

 

I start school in 5 days and although I can't loose much in that amount of time, I want to start a little thinner.

 

So, if you'd like to give me your support please do! Also, if you have any suggestions about what I can do to loose weight or something to eat that is good and good for me please tell me!

 

All I ask is please don't "make fun" of me or suggest that I go to a gym or get a personal trainer because neither of those are possible, and the only exercise equipment I have is two arm curls with 30lbs on each.

 

 

 

 

 

My current weight is: 177lbs.

 

I have lost: 0lbs.

 

Thank you and don't be shy to help!

 

 

 

~Joe!!

This site has tons of ab work outs and meal plans and even an activity calculator where you punch in the activity, amount of time doing it, and your weight and it will tell you how many calories you will burn.

 

 

 

http://www.iwantsixpackabs.com

 

 

 

It's not a scam or anything, it's run by this guy who lost 14% body fat in 16 weeks =D> I personally don't follow his plan, I just like the tips the site offers. You might have to signup to get the charts and such I am not sure. It is free and they don't spam your email at all :)

 

 

 

I am trying to loose weight at the moment, and I just do a mix up everything. Be sure to include stretching or you could pull something I think. Usally for abs I do 100 Air bicycles and 100 Sit ups.

 

 

 

What you have sounds fine, maybe start at 10 lb each and do plenty of reps.

 

 

 

\/ Yea that is my problem, :oops: I'll keep my post up if anyone else wants to use it

[Joes_So_Cool]

Thank you but i'm not looking for a six pack, basically looking to loose my man boobs. Any ideas on how to do that?

[Rebdragon]

Uh, if you're 5'9, weigh 175, and can curl that much (I'm assuming you're doing sets of 15 at least), you really think you're overweight? And are you sure you don't just have pecs :P ?

[JoshThaGod]

Whats up dude?!

 

 

 

 

 

Ok first things first.

 

 

 

 

 

Its not proven, but they say eating late is bad for you, i go off the assumption that eating and than going to sleep shortly after is bad for you. Or eating (somthing bad for you) and not doing anything physical after to work a lil bit of it off, is bad for you.

 

 

 

If you go for runs, make sure they are runs, or fast walks, or what id suggest a jog. And for it to actually work you have to maintain a faster pace than your normal walking speed for over 45 minutes before you start to actually burn calories. (In other words, this is kind of workout is called Cardio)

 

 

 

DONT drink soda, drink water, water water water, maybe some milk here and there, juices, but no soda or sugar filled calorie filled beverages.

 

 

 

Watch what *extras* you put on stuff, like mayonayse on a sandwhich. and remember just because somthing is fat free or whatever, doesnt mean it didnt supplement that *fat free* portion with other garbage (Like diet sodas. they are just as bad as regular sodas)

 

 

 

if you are a *big* dude, than check this out.

 

 

 

Wanna build that bulk into muscle? Get some weights or whatever, and go by this.

 

 

 

 

 

More weight, less reps= makes you bigger

 

Lighter weight, more reps = Tones your body

 

 

 

So if your a big guy, id get some weights, do less weight more reps, turn that big guy stuff into muscle and tone it up. im a big guy, its what i do and it is showing results. (I just need to do it regularly!)

 

 

 

And also, if you got a floppy uperbody, do pushups. check this out bro.

 

 

 

I couldnt do a pushup, i started out with Bit*h pushups, (like, on ur knees doing them, instead of on your toes). a few weeks later and im doing sets of 10. so do some pushups REGULARLY! as in every morning, try to do 3 sets of 10, and in a month or two, sets of 20. gradualy scale up the ammount you do and maybe even the sets.

 

 

 

id also suggest situps, do the same ammount as pushups.

 

 

 

and depending on what you wanted to work on on your uperbody, is depending on what type of pushup you should do. Dropping your arms sideways will work on diffrent areas as opposed to dropping inward. do some of each, why not?

 

 

 

Once you can do regular pushups (or if you already can) you should move on to verticles, throw your feet on somthing to elevate you, and than do them.

 

 

 

Thats all for now, hopefully this will help inspire you and give you a good start :) Goodluck dude! Its easy and since your still young you can do it sooooo damn easy.

I am that height and weight and can only do 20 reps of 20, and yes I think I am overweight, I want to at least get rid of my man boobs, what gets rid of those?

[JoshThaGod]

than do pushups, Drop outward instead of inward (drop so your elbows bend outward instead of twords your feet)

Ohkay, I will do 25 now.

[JoshThaGod]

dude check it.

 

 

 

dont drink gatorade unless your doing somthing phsyically exausting. if you drink it just to drink it, its bad for you.

 

 

 

Eat Salads, eat small portions.

 

 

 

Eat a handfull of nuts a day (unsalted FTW?)

 

 

 

Like, eat very small portions, but like 7 times a day. it will speed up your motabolism.

[Mithril_Max]

plastic surgery?

[Joes_So_Cool]

Well I thought I was going to do 25. I was able to do 15 and now my shoulders hurt.

 

 

 

I am going to bed and please leave me tips on what to eat thats good and good for me!! And what dishes to prepare, what to do to loose man boobs ect.

I will do that! I want to speed up my metabolism but I never knew how!! THANK YOU!

 

 

 

 

 

These are the tips I need! Small things like this that will make a big difference.

 

 

 

And to the person who suggested plastic surgery. I am 14, I don't have any money, and I wouldn't even consider that as an option.

its all good, as long as you make effort to do them till you cant, than you can only get better.

 

 

 

and try to do them more than once in the day as well.

 

 

 

 

 

In terms of eating, like i said, just eat very small portions but like 7 times a day and it will help speed up your motabolism, tuna (Without additives like mayo or whatever) is actually good for you, like eat a can, no bread, just the tuna. i forget what u could mix with it that doesnt effect the health value of it too much. but ya tuna works.

 

 

 

but ya eat small, but often, speeds up motabolism, fast motabolism = burns more calories quicker.

[flying_death_bombs55]

Im chubby and I have stretch marks from when I was younger(I used to be bigger(they wont go away, grrrr)), but im around 5'5 - 5'7 and im 150 pounds, normal weight(maybe about 2-3 pounds over but I have muscle also).

 

 

 

Edit: Drinking apple juice makes you digest foods faster(not like prune juice where it gushes out like a fountain(a broken fountain)), at least for me it does.(or maybe I just have really strong stomach acid...)

 

 

 

Ps: I used too many "( )"s

[Tbfgraphx14]

So like salads every now and then? How do you work in breakfast, lunch, and dinner? :-s Nevermind, I got it.

 

 

 

If you cannot do the pushups well without strain, try the putting your legs on something about 2 feet up or do "female pushups" with your knees on the ground but do many of those.

doing the *get fat sucked out* thing or whatever is pure [cabbage] and a waste of money.

 

 

 

Because once u get it done you have to follow a strict guideline of what you can eat for the rest of your life to keep the results. or atleast on larger scale operations (Like, when they shrink your appetite and suck the fat outta ya)

That's what I've heard, well I'm going to bed now, someone leave me something to make for breakfast that's good for me! Also, what fruit is best for your body to eat?

Just lose weight. Seriously I think this should get rid of them, because its just fat stored away.

[Tribal]

1. Buy a kilo(1000g) of cocaine. ($20,000 USD)

 

2. Snort alot of it, gradually working your way to snort all of it.

 

3. Finish the kilo, and buy another one.

 

4. Repeat over and over until you reach desired weight.

 

 

 

 

 

Disclaimer: Cocaine use may lead to mental/physical dependencies. Possibly death. Please use caution when using the Cocaine diet.

[martinisback]

Well, if you're SERIOUS about losing weight then I have one suggestion:

 

 

 

Weight Watchers

 

 

 

-> Moms been on it since Mid May, lost 22-25 pounds so far, the first week you lose like 3-4 pounds, then its like 1-2. Trust me, it WORKS. It cost about 165 $ for 3-4 months, and then you can do it on your own its just basically eating healthy, they'll teach you, and it'll easily get you down to about 160 by November-Mid October. Btw my moms about 50, so its pretty hard for her to lose that much and she did it, if your 15, you can do probably more!

 

 

 

Good luck & Eat Healthy

[mrmyk]

With pushups just start doing what you find is a decent amount and gradually over time increase that amount. When i first started doing pushups i did about 20 at a time about 3 times a day but about 2 weeks later i could do about 50 at one time then after a minute break do another 50 :) just slowly increase it

[Denismage]

Work on a whole body and don't eat after 6 pm. You also should avoid repeating exercises day after day because your body will get used to them and stop progressing at some point.

[IGoddessI]

When did you realise you had a problem?

 

 

 

What do you think of this problem?

 

 

 

What do others think of this problem?

 

 

 

What is your reason for wanting to lose weight?

 

 

 

What kind of short term and long term goals are you aiming for?

 

 

 

What kind of goal figure would be reasonably obtainable and achievable for you?

 

 

 

What is the goal you want to work on today / right now?

 

 

 

How do you think you can achieve this?

 

 

 

What do you think is a reasonable time frame for this?

 

 

 

Just a bit of homework for you - If you're serious about it 8-) You don't need to answer on this page if you don't want to :D
