How can a twelve year old lose 20 pounds in 2 months?

Answer 1

It really depends on how tall you are, for instance if you are 5 feet, you should probably be around 110 pounds, if you are 5 feet 5 inches you should probably be around 150 pounds or so. The best thing to do is drink alot of water, take your weight and divide it by 2 and that's how many ounces a day you should drink. Cut down on all soda pops, eat less bread, pasta and meat. A very good way to weight lose is to become a vegetarian which means you cut down meat, poltry and fish but eat more vegetables and fruits. overall just watch you intake of calories and sugar.

Here are a few tips for you: Do: * Ask someone to take you to the doctor to determine whether your weight problem is a physical or emotional issue. * Drink lots of water. * Eat healthy foods and stop eating junk food. * Avoid overreating. * Get involved with a support group such as Overeaters Anonymous (some areas have teen meetings) * Start telling yourself good things ("affirmations") such as "I love myself", "I am beautiful" and "I am worthy". Don't: * Make yourself throw up or take laxatives. * Starve yourself or deny yourself food. * Put yourself down or call yourself names. * Start an exercise or workout program without first consulting a doctor. Teenage obesity is a major problem in the world today, especially in the United States. You are not alone with this problem, although sometimes it may feel like you are alone and that you are a horrible person. Start right now, right this minute, telling yourself good things. Stop telling yourself bad things. A positive attitude is the first step in any important change.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, you cannot lose it fast and easy. It takes time to gain weight and it takes time to lose weight. I wish that I could wave a magic wand and enable you to lose it overnight. If I could, I would. However, you can lose it (and you can keep it off) but it will simply take time. Look at the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions. The answers on those questions will show you the best way forward.

Answer 5

An extra hour of exercise a day should be enough to accomplish that.

Answer 6
