I'm 15 almost 16 and I'm 5"4. I have been struggling with my weight all my life. I'm about 247lbs. And school is starting soon. I would like to lose 127lbs by 2nd semester (which is in febuary). I go to the gym 3 days out of a week and when I'm not able to go on the other 4 days I work out at home. I try to eat as healthy as possible but it's difficult on a short budget so we eat fastfood. I know fast food is really bad for you but I do like it. I drink a lot of water and I've never been a big fan on soda. I need help on coming up with a good diet plan. I know it's not good but I would like to lose at least 50lbs before school starts which is roughly one month from now. I don't want to be the new girl at school that everyone likes to give dirty looks to just because she's over weight. :(

If you wanted to lose 50 lbs, you needed to have started 4 or 5 months ago. It will not happen in one month, just not possible.

And eating good food is cheaper than fast food, fresh foods, and good foods cost much less at the grocrey store.

So cut out all fast foods, stop all soda and other soft drinks.

Start walking every morning and every evening, in additional to going to the gym.
Also how do you work out at the gym, do you do any cardio work out, that raises your pulse and gets you into a sweat ? Perhaps adding a fitness class like Zumba 3 days a week also.

My mom bought the zumba dvd set and I've been using it here at home for about a year. I also do the on demand cardio. I would take the classes but I get embarrassed easily and I'm shy. I go on the treadmill and elliptical and so other things that I don't know the names of wile I'm at the gym. Depending on what I'm using like the treadmill, I could be on it from half an hour to an hour at jogging pace. I try my best to be active.

I'm a professional athlete and I've never lost half your goal in a month. You need to cut out the junk food dude...

I've been unhealthy I know it sucks but keep you're eyes on the prize stay off scales for a while try to calm your stress. Just of the top of my head I think your bmi is 42 ish and 25 Overweight 25–29.9

This needs to happen now tell your parents they need to stop with the fast food.
