Slow down: Your extra weight didn't come overnight nor should you lose your weight too quickly. Quick weight loss usually leads to a quick weight regain. Your best bet is to work with a nutritionist and join a gym to work with a trainer. The more legitimate your effort now the greater the chance of losing the weigh and keeping it off long term.

Question 7

2 weeks ago, i weighed 115-116 pounds which is normal for me. now i weigh 110 but i haven't dieted or exercised. i'm glad i'm losing weight but why?

Accepted Answer

Loss of Weight: I understand your concern to lose 5-6pounds in 2 weeks 
At age 17, stressors of relationships, separation, breaking of relationships can cause anxiety and depression which can cause  loss of weight. It is not WHAT you eat, IT IS WHAT is eating you! 
 Amphetamines and cocaine abuse ,
Overactive thyroid gland and overuse of laxatives can also cause loss of weight.
See a Physician for diagnosis .

Accepted Answer

For : For your height a healthy weight is about 140-145, therefore you probably need to lose about 10-15 pounds. A healthy way to lose weight is by adopting a healthy lifestyle. This would include exercise for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week, more if possible. Weight training is key. Also a healthy diet. Eats six small meals a day. Your plate should be half veggies (green if possible) 1/4 lean meat, and 1/4 whole grains (i.E brown rice). 
If you need additional help or a plan to follow, request a visit with a nutritionist; your pediatrician or family doctor can refer you.
Good luck.

Question 9

how i can lose my weigh easy? i'm 23 years old with 172 highly and 75 weight

Accepted Answer

See Dr., and then...: Helpful weight loss diets have natural foods that take time to chew but contain few calories. Examples include carrots, celery, and leafy green lettuce (little/no salad dressing). When shopping for fruits, buy them no bigger than a tennis ball, because fruits have sugar. Drinks without calories include water and green tea. A calorie is a calorie, but surely avoid sugar ; simple starch calories.

Question 10

i'm 5'6" and weigh 113 lbs. is this healthy? can i lose more weight and still be healthy?

Accepted Answer

I'm worried about u: You are already very underweight and that is not healthy. Your body mass index is only 18. Normal is 20-25.

Are you a dancer or model or just think you are not thin enough? 

People obsessed with losing weight even though they are underweight may have anorexia nervosa.

This needs medical attention to correct the distorted body image and prevent complications like bone loss.
