i need to lose weight within 3 months , how can i lose as much as possible but in a healthy way?

The best way to loose weight is simply to exercise.. Go to the gym or run for 20 every other day and you will see the difference within a month.
Also try not to eat junk food..the feeling of looking good is much greater than the feeling of eating sweets !! Trust me :-) x

Hi I just wanted to say you could try Paul McKenna's I Can Make You Thin Book with Audio CD. It's worked for everyone I know and it doesn't deprive you of the foods you love!

Age: 18
Height: 6 foot

I know what you mean man. Its crazy and it is always on your mind. I've got problems with this myself too. I'm graduating in one month from high school and I decided that its time for change. I went out of country this year for two weeks and lost almost 20 pounds by walking, drinking, and well, going to the toilet a lot. I come back and within 5 months gain back 30 pounds. So i've decided that during the 3 months of summer holiday I'm going to get back down to at least 200 if not less. How am I going to do this? No, not by wasting my money on pills or jenny craig or any of that c**p, but simple rules and hard work. Hey, these rules worked for me back in middle school, and they will sure as hell work now.

Rule 1] Wake up Early (6-8 AM) and go to Sleep Early (8-9 PM). Studies show that the longer you are awake or less sleep you get, the more you gain.

Rule 2] Eat Breakfast every morning, but not that junky c**p, eat cereal and fruit

Rule 3] Eat 6 meals a day, but in small portions and time yourself, make sure you chew a lot and take at least 20 minutes to complete each meal. I find that sitting at the table with laptop reading CNN.COM or reading the paper makes me take at least 30 minutes.

Rule 4] Every time you feel hungry and open up the fridge or cabinet for something fatty and tasty, take your right hand and slap yourself real hard. And then go drink water and maybe get some fruit

Rule 5] Don't drink Coffee, Soda, or anything with sugar (Monsters). Drink Water. In fact, if you have any old soda bottles (2 liters) fill them up with water every morning to drink.

By obeying the simple rules above, you have already cut your weight gain without even doing much work. But here is where the real sweat starts to pour.

Rule 6] Walk, Run, Play sports. Do something new for a consistent amount of time every day. A few months back I just got up one day and decided to plug in my headphones and go for a walk, when I checked my watch, I had been walking for 2 hours and had gone almost 10 miles. It doesn't mean you have to run or walk every day, but at long as you do something, you will feel a change. Today, go for a walk. Tomorrow, go play some basketball. And the next day, try swimming. Studies show that its not how much you exercise, but its how long you do it for. You won't start burning fat for at least 20 minutes after you start. And there is enough evidence to say that the fatter you are, the easier it is for you to loose weight. So start it off easy - when you wake up tomorrow morning, eat some breakfast and then go for a short 30 minute to 1 hour walk around your neighborhood; and as you progress, increase your time and distance.

Rule 7] If you are addicted to computer, internet, or television, then cut the habbit. Don't watch more than 2 hours of television a week and more than 2 hours of computer a day. Why? Because when you turn on the tele, you sit on your fat ass and then fall asleep and let your body just get more massive. It helps if you get rid of your sofa all together. Or if you want to watch more television, then don't sit at all. Get a Rule stool and start doing Rules, or do push ups or sit ups or crunches while you watch. If you are too addicted to facebook or myspace or some computer game, then try unplugging your computer. If you are addicted to talking to your friends on the cellphone, then as much as you're parents will hate it, do it MORE, but instead of sitting or lying down, do it while walking.

Rule 8] GET A JOB! Its hella obvious that if you get a job during the summer, you will be moving around and sweating pounds more than sitting on the sofa. It'd good to earn some money as well.

Rule 9] Don't go out to any restaurants. Jared is a liar... Subway don't help you loose weight. Trust me!

Rule 10] Believe in yourself.

No matter what, don't loose sight of your goal and don't let anyone pressure you back into your old habbits. Also, it may be depressing, but sugar coating your weaknesses and problems will not help you at all. The first Rule to solving any problem is admitting you have a problem and confronting it. You are not heavy, you are simply fat. But so am I - So lets do this thing together this summer. I'm right along there with you.

Don't take any pills, do any fad diets(like cleansing) or start doing a huge exercise routine. With those you'll lose weight, but it will come back and your body will be in worse health than before you started. The body needs to gradually get used to changes. Here's what you do: First, cut out as much sugar, caffeine, and alcohol as possible. Then, cut out as many starchy foods as you can (i.e pasta,rice,potatoes,white bread etc). These turn into sugar immediately and don't provide any long-term energy. Make sure your meals always have protein, especially breakfast and lunch. This will give you energy all day. Next, you need to gradually introduce more activity into your lifestyle. Start walking for 20 minutes every day after work. If you're up for it start running the next week. As you feel more energy introduce strength training. Cardio only burns calories as you exercise, but muscle burns calories all day long. Each lb. of muscle you gain equals 50 calories burned/day. You should think of weight loss in terms of permanently changing your eating habits and gradually increasing your activity levels. You will have so much more energy and be happier. Good luck, and don't give up!

Hi im 25 and gave birth 7 mo ago. At wich point i gained 50lbs and struggliong to loose it not i have 5 month till babys 1st birthday and i need to loose weight asap. i have a good addiction to food however i learned that if someone plans 5 meals a day i can follow it if there any one that can break down Breakfast lunch dinner and snacks that should be eatine that would help a bunch thanx

The most healthy way to lose weight is to do enough exercise to the amount of calories you eat.
you need to burn more calories than you eat. To stay healthy tho you need to eat high fibred foods, that release
energy slower in to your system and eat more things with high protein and no matter what anyone says,
carbohydrates are good for your diet but in moderation, carbohydrates will be stored as energy and ultimately make you faster
when you exercise. swimming, press-ups, sit ups, crunches, rowing machines, cross trainers. ( do not use treadmills ) if you want to
run then run on the streets. Treadmills do not work efficiently, also try running in a swimming pool as the pool will take the impact away from the running but will work the muscles just as hard. good luck tho with any weight loss. :-)

have lost 16lbs in last 9 weeks with slimming world. never hungry! brilliant diet. Have also combined with 2 - 3 gym sessions a week of cardiovascular exercie for approx 50 mins. Good luck.

Hi bms27,
Can you explain what do you do at gym sessions?
Do you think that diet would work if you didn't go to gym or did cardiovascular?

I do15 mins on bike, 15 on treadmill and 10 on rower. You don't have to go to gym but your loss will be slower if u don't exercise. Good luck.
