I am 12 years old and weight 125 pounds. I want to loose about 25 pounds In two months. Near thanksgiving I got sick. I couldn't swallow anything and had to drink hot Chocolate all day and in a week of barely eating I lost 10 pounds so I know I can do it. But Is this a good plan:
Once a week walk 3 miles at a park
Cut back on sprite and stuff
and
Everyday spend 2 hours on a Gazelle
Will that help. Am I over weight, and Could I loose it before school starts again??? I would appreciate it so much. Thankz.
Its acually funny...We are like really broke so we can't even afford mcdonalds...so I end up eating pretty healthy anyway. I just wanna lose weight so when i swim I can not wear a shirt...granit the water is pretty cold...but anyway...
OH!!! and I am 5'0 feet
tall...
Answer
The most important thing to remember when losing weight at age 12 (vs. as an adult) is that since your body is growing you need to still get all of the NUTRIENTS that you need to grow, while cutting your calories enough to burn more through exercise than what you take in each day.
For an adult, fasting (going without eating) occasionally for a few days can be healthful by detoxifying the body and colon and people lose a little weight too. However, fasting is NOT a long-term weight loss solution for an adult, and fasting is NEVER a good idea for someone who is not fully grown (I'd say before the age of about 22-25, because even after you stop growing in height, your internal organs and muscles continue to develop into your early 20s). All you need to do is take a look at pictures of the young people in places like North Korea and Sudan to see what the effects of not eating are on a growing body (bow-legs, short-stature, decreased IQ, death).
What you must do is cut out all of your unnecessary foods and beverages, these are foods that are high in calories but which have very few nutrients as well as foods with a lot of artificial ingredients. Examples of these:
Soda Pop (both the regular and diet kind)
Fast Food of all kinds
Junk Food of all kinds
Candy
Cake
Cookies
Chips
French Fries
Ice Cream
Fried Chicken
Pizza
Juice
etc etc
At the same time, eat as much of the following as you can (stuff yourself if you want):
Fresh Raw Fruit of any kind
Fresh Raw Vegetables of any kind (very little salad dressing)
Lightly Steamed Vegetables
Pure Water
Eat a good sized portion of lean Protein 4-6 times per day:
Low fat yogurt
Low fat cottage cheese
Lean Grilled Chicken (no added fats)
Fish (canned tuna, fresh fish, NOT deep fried)
Tofu
Temphe
Beans
High Protein Meal Replacement bar (powerbar etc)
Get Moderate amounts of other natural foods such as:
WHOLE GRAINS (brown rice, 100% whole wheat bread, oatmeal)
Nuts
Peanut Butter (the natural kind -- NO HYDROGENATED OILS)
Olive Oil
Seeds (sunflower, sesame, etc)
Cheese
By following this type of eating, your body will continue to get everything it needs to grow, while keeping your calories in the right range to lose weight with proper exercise. If you continue to eat this way through your whole life, you will stay in your healthy weight naturally. It is a lifestyle, NOT a diet.
As far as exercise:
Consistancy (doing a 2 mile walk every day) is more important than quantity (running a marathon one time)....
in other words, try to be active every day, but do things like walking the dog, jumping on the trampoline, playing basketball, hiking, going for a swim, jumping rope, dance, play volleyball, martial arts, push-mow the lawn, baseball, soccer -- and stay off of the computer, TV, and video games...
Don't just get on an exercise machine for 2 hours a day (no one can stick with that for life)... BE ACTIVE in your lifestyle, get used to MOVING to have fun instead of just thinking activities... if you make habits of doing MOVING activities that you enjoy, you will be getting exercise and working all of your muscles by doing a variety of things. You will be more motivated to keep it up when you have variety too.
Good Luck, I hope this helps!

Really, the only close-death experience I had was when I almost drowned as a kid.
...We were at a lake somewhere in Maine at my uncle's house and I was only around 7 or 8. My older cousin's Betsy and Lacey told us about their trampolie floating on the lake and told us it was fun to go under an things like that. I was excited and asked them to bring me under. (Because I was so young I still had to wear a life jacket in the lake and could't go under water with it on) They agreed and, with no effort at all, pulled me under. After a while they had to go in. My older brother was going to go under the trampoline, and I wanted to as well. Two older girls who lived next door to my cousin (I do not remember their names) told me they could pull me under. I thought for a moment and said "okay" They grabbed my hands and tried to pull me under but could only get down so far. When trying to pull me under the trampoline, they let go, leaving me trapped between the lake and the large float of the trampoline. I struggled for several long moments kicking and thrashing my arms and legs, but I couldn't get loose, and we were too far out for my parents to see. I tried to dive under, but my life jacket prevented me from doing that. That life jacket almost killed me. I finally got loose, bobbed to the surface and gasped for breath. I was so scared I began to cry.... It still scares me to be under water for too long, but I've mostly gotten over it.
