4. It is a time-honored tradition to make resolutions at this time of year. If your resolution is to lose weight - and keep it off, then keep reading! Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way. 1. Lose weight with water. Water is essential for everybody - it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven't been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight. By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store water. Drink at least 60 ounces of water (about 8 glasses) a day. Boil water and sliced lemons, and drink this throughout the day to help with fluid retention. If you are still not sold on the merits of water, try this on for size: water is a natural appetite suppressant. 2. Soup up your weight loss program. A simple dietary change will have you shedding pounds: eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Nutritious, low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a serving of soup daily lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don't eat soup. Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals. 3. Eat early to keep weight off. The human body follows a circadian rhythm, which means that the same foods eaten at breakfast and lunch are processed differently than when eaten at dinner. Studies show that when you eat your daily protein and fat at breakfast you tend to lose weight and have more energy; however, eating the same things at dinner tend to increase tendencies toward weight gain. I suggest that you eat your last meal of the day by 7 p.m. 4. Eat smaller meals, more frequently. Follow an eating schedule with five little meals every day. Eating steadily through the day keeps you from becoming famished and overeating at your next meal. Make a low-fat trail mix from raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried plum, and apples and have it available at all times to avoid the tempting lure of high-calorie snacks. 5. Adopt a balanced approach to your diet. Most of the fad diet programs out there nowadays are extreme in a few recommended foods, or else deprive the body of food altogether. This works in opposition to our metabolism and the results usually don't last, producing a yoyo effect that depresses your metabolic function - not to mention your self-esteem. We are natural beings that need a balance of nutrition from all sources. Your diet should consist of a balance of organic sources of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of white rice and pasta, opt for brown rice, bulgur, millet, or buckwheat. Eat more green, chlorophyll-rich foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and asparagus. Eliminate candy, sugar, soda, and all simple sugars from your diet. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your body, which results in weight gain. Also, keep dairy to a minimum because most dairy products are high in saturated fat. Avoid fatty foods, processed or fried foods. 6. Walk off the weight. The No. 1 cause of weight gain is inactivity. Physical activity is the key to speeding up your metabolism and burning excess calories. The best way to be physically active is to use your legs! Walk as often and as long as you can. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator. Step outside during your break at work and take a walk around your building. Consider joining a local hiking club. Try taking a walk 30 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes in the early evening. I hope this article helps you shed some pounds and add on the years!

5. Hrm for your height you should weigh a little under 170 pounds but not too much more, you have to remember you're still growing and your body could be gaining more weight before you grow taller. Most of the time going on diets and such at such a young age is not advisable unless you are heavily overweight, which I do not think that you are. But if yoru wish to lose some weight and be a little more healthier try not eating a lot of junk food, some is ok but not a lot. Don't eat fastfood a lot either, and try cutting back on your sodas. Also exercise a little, it doesn't even have to be a lot. Try walking a little faster when you're changing classes in school, walk for 5 or 10 minutes every day at a brisk pace.
6. just eat mashed potatoes instead of rice or bread....
7. Wow I just read what Dr. Mao answered to your question and that was a great help to me! I was going to tell you that I very recently read an article about a new diet called the Water Diet. It advises to eat water -as in foods that contain lots of water. So that's why I especially enjoyed Dr. Mao's advice to you. So I hope we both have good results and happy new year!
8. Honestly, you probably won't lose quite that much by may, and being 5'5 you don't really need to aim for 105pounds... I would be happier if you aimed for something like 115 or 120 - you could reach that by mid or late may... but you have to start now and you have to be dedicated. if you slip up and eat junk food or eat too much or don't exercise enough, you won't make it and you may even go backwards... remember this is a lifestyle change you are talking about, this is serious stuff. you can't just plan to lose the weight by may and then put it all back on, that will stuff your metabolism even more. some things you can do to lose weight, concentrate on only the three meals a day plan. no more snacks, no more desserts, period. breakfast has to be eaten within an hour of waking up, and dinner eaten before eight o clock at night. this will help your body to process it better. eat any later, and it will turn into unwanted fat. your body will tell you it's hungry, ignore it, and feed it water instead. chew gum (non sugared) during the day to help your stomach work. these tips are NOT for life, only for a short while to hasten the process. Breakfast must be cereal. Only wholewheat or corn flakes. NO cheerios, NO cocoa puffs, NO sugary shite. Milk is to be skim only no full fat, and only a small serve. Like a small bowful, be sensible about it. Lunch is either a freshly squeezed juice (no smoothies, no milkshakes) think apple, pineapple and guava or orange, carrot and watermelon... a small to medium serve is good. either that, or ONE sushi roll (two at the max, depending on size) or one half a sandwich of ham or chicken (lean, no fatty meats) with salad in it and maybe a slice of light fat cheese. NO sauce, NO mayonnaise, NO mustard, or one piece of fruit, i suggest pear or apple, cut it into slices, so it seems like more and you get fuller. Dinner is either small tuna salad (NO SAUCE or dressing only small amount olive oil, or lemon juice), or small bowl of steamed rice (white is fine, but brown is better, when cooking, brown rice takes longer and needs more ratio of water to rice to soften) with canned tuna, OR boiled egg with rice or one piece of toast (unbuttered, brown toast is better) NO more soft drinks, junk food, you can allow yourself ONE treat only on sundays (or pick a day, and stick to that day) no more chocolate etc. etc. this has to be strict, but you can losen up and expand your food after you lose a decent amount to begin with... remember, this is only a temporary thing, not forever, you will have to get all the rest of your nutrients eventually. Go for a vigorous walk (dont run or jog yet, you'll just hurt urself, make sure you walk at a good pace though to push yourself and get your blood pumping, it's not a stroll) every second day. You can skip your treat day (ie. sundays?) so go every mon, wed, fri or tues, thurs, sat. at least five kilometres, should take you at least half an hour. do not miss one designated day or you wont lose weight. after you get back home, do fifty sit ups normally, 25 to one side, and 25 to the other side. (keep ur back to the ground, turn your legs bent to either side so that ur hip is on the ground, this will work ur side abs and give u a waist). every morning first thing is stretches, hold poses for twenty to thirty seconds min. Do stretches before and after exercise, and before bed. seriously, do them. also once a week, pick another thing to do, either dance class, sports at school, yoga or pilates, or an aerobics class. pick a day and stick to it once a week, every week. and that's all you have to do. you will lose about a kilo + a week, that's two to three pounds a week min. by mid may you'll at least have lost 50 or so pounds. that's better than nothing!
