Losing weight after having a baby

ok…So im 4’9, 13 years old and I weigh 120 pounds. I really want to weigh 90-95 pounds….How can I do that?? Im tired of people telling me im fat and stuff. So what do you think is good for me? I really dont know what to do because unless I dont have a per day what to do schedule I cant keep up. What do you suggest for me?

Well, maya, i now exactly what your struggling with and i know its hard, but first of all, the most important ingredient is confidence. I completely understand if you want to loose a few pounds, but what other people think shouldnt be the main reason, it should be to make you feel better as a person, and i know you are a strong and beautiful woman no matter what anyone says ! As far as the diet thing goes, its not really that healthy for u to be on a really strict diet, so just i general one is better and it will be much more easier for you because you are still in school(besides the fact that its summer). If you stick to eating low to no carbs, drinking lots of water and tea, lots of protein and low sugar with all of your veggies and fruits, you will feel great and shed weight like nobody’s business!! i wish you the very best of luck, and dont give up, have self discipline too! haha!! you’ll need it trust me!!

HI, im 18 years old, weight 115 pounds, and want to weight 110!! thank you for all the information you have provided here, i will try this and see how it goes

Melinda- you sound like a very intelligent and strong person. I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of criticism and the media gives such a distorted sense of what we should be. North Americans are the fattest people in the world too..but we still manage to find partners and have children. What you should focus on is your exercise, studying and activities that you can put on your resume. Friends come and go in life. You’ll have way better boyfriends after high school and popularity doesn’t count for much when you are an adult. Take pride in who you are, you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders, and you write very well and express yourself with a lot of intelligence. Keep your chin up. Eat well, follow the guidelines on this site, and remember to exercise. And, about being born fat and dying fat..not true. I was born a large baby and I’m just slightly overweight (20 lbs from having kid after kid). My kids were also 10 lbs and they are so healthy, active and guess what? They are at their proper weight for their age groups. So, as far as not feeling full and having big portions, a trick is to take a smaller plate, serve yourself and then refuse to go back for more. Also, start some hobbies. Something to keep your mind off food. Do crafts, read, write, volunteer at your community center etc. do something your heart is into..and not what your stomach is into. Remember that the only person you need to impress is yourself. Don’t worry what other people have to say. It’s ONLY their opinion and not always fact. Your opinion is the only one that counts in the end. Stay positive Good luck with High School

you need to do this plan here

I am a 39 yr old mother of 5. I have a very special trip coming up in early August and I REALLY need to tone up and drop some weight fast.

I am 195-200 lbs, 5’7″. I used to weigh 135 lbs., while I dont really care about pounds, I DO want to look better ASAP. I have about 5 weeks to flatten my tummy, build somewhat of a better rear end, with a little luck drop some of my 36 DD breasts and hopefully help with my inner thighs (outer too).

I currently take in, on most days, less than 500 calories. Ive been doing a low impact cardio and some toning for my abdomen, which has helped and Ive lost 25 lbs. But I seem to have plateaued and not a whole lot is working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

look at this emergency plan here

The most important thing to remember when losing weight is to burn more calories than you eat. But you must also remeber that your body needs a certain amount of nutrients in order to be able to perform its day to day activities. Not eating enough calories can lead to your body going into starvation mode and it actually stores fat so it can survive. So, instead of eating less that 500 calories a day, try eating a 200-300 calorie breakfast lunch and dinner, and small 100-200 calorie snacks in between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This way, your sure to get all of the nutrients and calories your body needs, and it will keep your metabolism going, instead of slowing it down, like starving will make it do. Also, because your a mother and you’re not a teenager, losing weight will be harder, so you will see that plateau every once in a while, my advice would be to change up your exercise routine, try doing cardio every other day and weights the remaining days, increase the amount of time you spend doing cardio, and change up the terrain (maybe try hiking or biking). Your body can sometimes start to get used to the routine you’re doing (sort of like when you learn your times table and it becomes really easy, then you move on to long division and it gets difficult again). Challenge yourself, and stay healthy. Besides, if you continue on the path you’re on, you will lose weight, but the second you start eating normally again, your body will cling onto every calorie you consume, and you’ll begin the dreaded “yo-yo” effect :/ GOOD LUCK! and kudos for being so motivated!

PS try doing pilates! it makes your butt look amazing! and strengthens your core! pilates and cardio! can’t go wrong
