I am 5'5 and I way 125 pounds. I would like to way 110 because I think that's a good weight so that I can wear a bikini for the first time in my life.

So I wanted to know if there was any way to lose those 15 pounds before summer
I am only 14 years old so no surgery or extreme diets please.

I was looking stuff up and I found the tea diet with 2 cups of tea everyday.
Some 400 year old Asian weight loss remedy.
Can it be trusted?

And if not do you know a quick and fast way I can lose 15 pounds?
Also I don't have much time in my day so something that works, is fast and can be easy to do.

Thanksss:)

You can drink good teas like green tea, oolong, and other oriental teas,
Also eat whole wheat and healthy foods.
Avoid sugar and refined flour.
Also eat healthy snacks through the day like fresh fruits and maybe some celery sticks
And eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Also eating at scheduled times helps.
You really should be just right for your height and weight so maybe you just need to tone your stomach a little.
I would think that as long as your waist is no more than 27 inches I really can't see you as needing to lose anything

Drinking 2 cups of a tea? God if only that was true!

Ur only 14 so the bits of your body that you don't like is just probabaly baby fat, I used to be exactly the same at your age, and then the next minute it just all dropped off!!

I think uve got a right idea about not doing anything drastic, because its really important that you know your still growing and if you exclude certain foods from your diet then that can stop you from developing properly, and you will notice those little things when your older

I think you should do a high wheat, high protein, low fat, low carb diet plan

Basically, in the morning have some wheetabix, bran or poriddge for breakfast that will keep your bowels moving so you don't become constipated, wheat is also good for weight loss! Make sure you eat your breakfast, as that really is the most important meal of the day it will stop you from binging

For lunch have lots of salad and tuna or chicken? And some fruit and nuts too if you like

For dinner have steamed fish or chicken or whatever you like, with plenty of veg!

Remember that when your trying to diet you don't have to stop eating pasta and rice, just have the healthy version instead! Personally after first trying brown rice I have never had white rice since!

And just snack on fruit throughout the day, it makes your skin really nice as well! And drink lots of green tea (I put pieces of lemon in mine because I don't like green tea on its own!)

Sure you can lose weight fast, but it takes effort. Good nutrition is a smart starting point (especially cutting out the junk, soda, and snacks due to boredom), but the real way to shed pounds is through sweat and work. Period.

The problem is most people want results in just a couple of weeks. When you start a dedicated program, building toward your working out 4-5 times a week or even more, it takes time for your body to respond. The first few weeks might see a little weight change, but during this time your body is just starting to get in gear for losing weight. This is the time to worry about flexibility and muscle training... teaching your body what the proper movements are and forms are... teaching yourself how to breathe right and prep your body for the real work.

After one or two weeks of this, then you amp it up. You need cardio, you need to move your body deliberately and hard. 6-8 weeks in, you are going to feel stronger and you'll probably see changes in your body. Better still, you'll be in a routine that will keep you in shape and continue to tone your body.

It takes 6-8 weeks for most people to make a forced routine a natural habit. Start now and by the start of summer you may not be exactly where you want to be... but you'll be on your way. Would losing half that weight in that time not be worth it? Sure it would. Not only would you be closer to your goal, but your body will already be primed and ready to lose the rest.

Walk, run, jump rope, climb stairs, hike, swim for cardio.

Back work, abs and legs can get great work from pilates (check out your public library for dvds), or traditional excercises like lunges, squats, crunches, situps, leg lifts.

And don't fret too much about numbers... your body can tone muscle and lose fat without a lot of weight change.

Your 14 so don't worry too much about your weight, you're still growing :) But I find what is needed for weight lose isn't so much green tea everyday xD It takes work :P I went from 130 lbs to 113lbs in sixth- seventh grade and this is how I started :) First of all stay away from carbs xD It's hard but it has to be done, a little here and there won't hurt but if you want it to be the faster the better, cut it out to the minimum you possibly can. Eat lot's of vegetables, not so much fruit because of their sugars, but anything like broccoli, spinach, beet greens, bok choy, all of that is great and you can eat a fair bit. I boil mine and eat it with some sort of meet like beef or chicken but my favorite is fish because it has lots of omega 3 fatty acids. Try eating flax seed with yogurt in the mornings with tea instead of having cereals, this will avoid sugars and carbs while keeping you regular. You also have to exercise. You majors are lunges, sit ups, push ups, jumping jacks. You'll more interest in keeping up with it though if you try a class like zumba or Yoga. Try jumping rope and running. When you first start with running take it slow. Your still growing and like weights at the gym if you go too hard too fast your body will be stunted. Start with a half hour time frame. Do 1 minute running, four walking and alternate until you reach a half hour. Slowly add more running each week or so and once your running the whole half hour add time. Don't forget to breath and DRINK WATER!! All day just sip the sky juice ;) and dark chocolate of 70% or higher is great for snacking instead of chips or other junk food :) Hope it helps!
