hi, i am 15 ,around 5'7, i weigh 155-160 can someone give me advice on dieting and losing weight, its just hard for me i really want to lose weight. i have been excerising and trying to diet for monthes but havent seen any differences

Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. So assuming you are jumping on the scale and not seeing results doesn't mean that you aren't actually losing weight. What it may mean is that you have gained more muscle mass. Do your clothes fit better?

I am the same height and the same weight and a size 12-14. If that's the case, you don't need to lose any weight.

 

To be honest, I have dieted a lot in my life losing up to 30 pounds and guess what? My body ALWAYS goes back to 160. Unless you want to diet forever, the better solution is to just eat properly and exercise the way you say you are doing. I eat healthier than anyone I know but my body won't shed a pound. Why? Because I've gained muscle.

 

That being said, link removed is a good free online diet that monitors your calories based on how fast you want to lose weight, your normal activity levels, etc. I've tried and it worked and like I said as soon as I stopped dieting I was 160 again.

 

Trust me, after years of struggling, I can say that 160 looks as rosy as 125 if you stay there

you'll have to look at what your eating... you could be eating a lot of high fat foods... sometimes even if we exercise we still consume way too much fat and junk foods. if you exercise, cardio workouts 4 to 5 times a week you should lose weight but i think.......if your fat intake is really high, it will take forever or the exercise just helps you maintain your current weight.. which is what you don't want. try to eat more fruits and veggies along with your workouts.

my clothes does not fit better i always wear baggy clothes to hide it, and i dont feel comfortable wearing clothes that are kind of small

[stevenlam]

The thing is, it can take more than a couple months. I think that's one of the main reasons people do give up.. people think that if they don't see results soon, then it's not working.

 

Don't give up just because you don't see results as soon as you would like. If you really want this, stick with it. It will be worth it.

 

Good luck.
