Weight loss- no acai berry stuff/colon cleanse!?
Okay, I am 14, I weight 145 (I know that sounds like a lot but just wait), I am 5′ 8” (see? I’m tall.) I want to lose at least 15 lbs the HEALTHY way. I play soccer 3x a week (practice tuesdays, not very good exercise though, pretty laid back), game on wednesdays (good exercise), and all star practices on fridays (good exercise.) I also have all star tournaments but not every weekend. I volunteer at a camp and we walk to a pool & swim everyday (I don’t always swim though.) I don’t eat horribly but they could be improved. Whats I’m going to try to do is cut our junk (brownies, cookies, chocolate, chips, ect.) I’m also going to either run or cycle saturdays & sundays for 30-60min. I’m also going to add in some strength stuff (crunches, lunges, squats, ect.) after the run/cycle to tone up. If anyone has any more suggestions for me, that would really help! But please, I don’t want people telling me to use acai berry, colon cleanse, starvation diet, or any diets for that matter because I’m doing this the healthy way. Thank you!

what u are doing is perfect just drink a lot of water
You’re right on with the cardio, go with running, cycling or spin classes – try to go for at least half an hour. Isometrics wouldn’t hurt either but you probably don’t need any weights for now…
A little healthy sex with a good boy would work wonders.
One evening of sxl. tension can lose up to a pound and
a half right away. Just stay safe!
what you are doing is just fine, like cutting out the junk food. also dont eat after 8 oclock, and make sure you eat breakfast, but dont eat like bacon and eggs everyday (ew). drink lots of water. you seem to have the exercising down. good job and good for you on wanting to do it the healthy way. …by the way tho, thats technically how much you are supposed to weigh, so i think 15 is a bit of a stretch. but good luck to you anyway
I think you are doing fine. Maybe try keep track of your body fat percentage, because you could be losing fat but gaining muscle (a shrinking clothes size will tell you this too, it is not all about weight).
Another thing is to track calories of what you do eat, you could be eating some foods that are surprisingly high in calories.
A nutrition facts comparison tool:

Here also is a list of foods high in calories to minimize (but not necessarily avoid)

I think other than that, just try control portion size. Take one helping and then wait to feel full. Fill your plate with veggies and cut back on the carbs. All that will ad up over time. It is good you are doing it the healthy way. Just give yourself time, and don’t stress if you give in every now and again.
Good luck.
I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.
Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.
First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…
This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.
However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.
Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
Do cardio for 30 – 45 minutes AT LEAST once a day (two times at most).
You should be eating from 1100-1300 calories per day (a normal person’s body burns about 2000 by ITSELF every day, so you are already burning off around 900 calories without exercise).
Burn about 400 calories through exercise. (45 minutes of stairs usually burns 300 to 400).
DO NOT MISS ANY MEALS or this will automatically send your body into starvation mode because you are already consuming less.
You MUST eat every 3 hours to keep your metabolism going fast.
Though do not "graze" (eating a small amount every half an hour or so) because this will slow your metabolism.
Breakfast (the most important because it wakes your metabolism up and gets it working fast) should be the biggest meal of the day at about 350 calories and dinner the smallest at 200 calories. Eat breakfast within an hour of getting up in the morning. Snacks should be between 150 – 200 calories and you should eat between two and three snacks per day.
Breakfast –> Snack –> Lunch –> Snack –> Dinner –> (snack)
*****I recommend doing your cardio first thing in the morning before breakfast. When we wake up in the morning our body is in a catabolic state. Catabolism means ‘the breaking down’ of body tissue, this is the optimum time to perform your fat burning exercises as your body is literally in fat burning mode. In addition to this, because you haven’t eaten any food before the exercise your body will break down mostly fat in order to fuel your exercise session rather than food in your system. The idea is to leave our body no choice but to burn mostly fat.
A good breakfast is a 300 calorie (give or take) protein shake.
I personally recommend getting "muscle milk protein power".
Next you NEED to drink at least 64 oz of water a day. The more the merrier.
Lastly, wake up by at most 8 AM and workout about 1/2 hour BEFORE you eat. This will speed up your metabolism for the upcoming day.
Don’t eat for the 3 hours before you go to bed.
Over view:
Wake up 8 AM.
Eat every 3 hours.
No skipped meals.
Breakfast = Within an hour of getting up, biggest meal of the day, and before exercise in morning. (Protein shake is GOOD for breakfast!)
Exercise for 45 minutes in the morning BEFORE eating. [If you want you can exercise again between you 2nd snack and dinner for 45 minutes.]
Eat 1100 – 1300 calories per day.
Breakfast –> Snack –> Lunch –> Snack –> Dinner –> (snack)
Don’t eat 3 hours before going to bed.
Drink 64 oz of water.
You can lose from 2.5 to 3 pounds HEALTHFULLY in a week.
If you lose anymore then you will not have lost that weight in fat and you will be damaging your body.
