Kiedis
Answer
Here's some exercises and good food choices for you. For the best results these must go hand in hand. All of this is from a diet I made up for myself. It started working instantly and I didn't have to starve myself or kill my muscles while exercising. No fad dieting.=)
Do not make a high goal, first of all. It's a health risk to lose more than 3 pounds a week and can decrease your confidence. Besides, that much in a week would probably be water weight, which comes right back.
Try taking a walk for 30 minutes a day, adding 10 minutes each week. Once you get up to an hour long walk, start biking or jogging for 20 minutes a day, adding on minutes once again. By the time you are biking or jogging for an hour a day, just keep at it and you'll keep losing.
If your weight doesn't move, don't sweat it. It's because you are gaining muscle mass and losing fat at the same time. Did you know muscle weighs DOUBLE that of fat while taking up the same amount of space? It does! If you feel really bad about your weight not changing though, do some mesurments. They will probably be lower numbers.
Remember to EAT YOUR BREAKFAST. Eating Breakfast will reduce your hunger and increase your energy throughout the day. You should have a large breakfast, smaller lunch, and light dinner. Or you can have multiple small meals throughout the day. Avoid snacking at night (after 9 PM), and when you really want junk food, eat a half serving and substitute the other half with a fruit or veggie. Make sure you drink water too, it's helpful in losing weight faster. Be sure to lay off soda...it's high in cals.
------------------------------
The types of things to watch out for:
-High-sodium foods; they make you retain water. If you are outside sweating tons, it is great for you, but if you are indoors in the AC, don't go nuts eating it. It does make you gain weight when you retain too much water, it also makes you chubbier.
-High saturated fat and trans-fat foods; too much of this stuff can put you at risk for heart disease and make your BAD cholesterol shoot up significantly.
------------------------------
The types of things to go ahead and gobble:
-Foods with monounsaturated fats; These lower total cholesterol and bad cholesterol while raising the good cholesterol.=)
-Foods with polyunsaturated fats: These do the same thing, though they will not raise good cholesterol.
-Fiber; this is a natural laxitive and is good for weight loss. It doesn't make you puke, though. It just helps out your metobolism/digestion.;)

That's how I lost 85 pounds of fat and gained 20 pounds of muscle in 6.5 months. I started at 5"3 and 192 pounds, and I'm now 5"6 and 127 pounds (I'm 14 and still growing). It's been really easy to mantain, too!
Best of luck!

How to encourage 13yr old physically lazy girl into exercise? Follow up from mother.?
xelty .
I do lots of activities myself. We live in London, near River Thames. Walking along the river is wonderful. At long weekends we put the bikes on top of the car and drove away from London. Every weekend I ask her to come along for a bike ride or walk. She refuses. She prefers to stay home and do cooking instead. She does not watch TV almost at all. We like to go shopping together for hours on the weekends. However, going shopping cannot be the only solution.
One reply in the previous message contained "depression" which is now making me think. She has been suffering from terrible skin reactions (scaly and flaky), side effects of her bone marrow transplant 18 months ago. She is on immune suppressant drugs and steroids. I want to encourage her into exercise because I think it will contribute to her recovery and strengthen the immune system. Now thinking about it, she might as well be depressed therefore shows no interest. I think the only thing I can do is to keep trying. Make sense?

I am 17 and I know what it is like to sit around and be lazy, I wish I had more time like that. But a bike ride is also very relaxing to me when I get the chance to do it. I am in college early so I have so much time wound up in home work that I no longer have the time to ride like I used to. But I don't spend all my
