Hi, vampireluver011!

There are a couple of factors here that would really be good to know about if people are going to give you the best and most realistic advise.

1. How much weight do you need to lose in order to make the team?

2. When are the try-outs?

Thanks!

There is no "quick weight loss". Exercise and proper diet are the only answer. There are ways to fool your scale but they aren't a solution and most are not healthy.

I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if you have that much weight to lose to qualify to play a sport, you aren't going to do well in the sport to begin with. Focus on your health, not a game. Lose the weight the proper way.

Try the ELEM weight loss plan. Its effective and its FREE!

ELEM = eat less (or more healthy), exercise more. 100% effective!

Hi, Vampire

How much do you need to loose and when is the goal,

(due date),

you have one very very great advantage (your age)
when your below 30 year all slimming and getting a healthier body is very easy and a fast process as well.

The easiest way is by biking, why do I say biking cause you can keep n going and going and it's most surely easier than running.

1 hour of biking at 20km/h with an RPM average is equal to = 1000Cal. So as you did not mention your current weight and how much you need to loose here is the calculation.

1kg * = 7000Cal of burned fat so lets say (7000/1000) = 7 hours of biking. Then you need to calculate what your loss will be and how fast you can do it.

So first get a 4 week program where you go 5 times a week between 20-30km, then when you are fit for that then try 2 times a week 100km sessions. (remember low gears and keep a RPM between 75-85. Please do not consider any high gears be disciplined and the weight will go off faster and you'll have no injury problems (knees or leg). If you're getting faster during the first 4 initial weeks then race the Cadence (RPM 85-95) instead of going into higher gears. I recommend these kind of cadences thing versus higher gears as it will raise your metabolism and also give you a better cardio workout.

First question.. I need to lose at least 30 pounds.. Second question... I need to lose it by the end of April.

Hi, Vampireulver

if you follow this plan I'll almost guarantee a weight loss of 30 pounds just at the end of March 2009.

Get a bike buy something nice for yourself see if you can get your parents to invest in something that will last with good gearing I myself has a (Merrida T3).

So now all we need to do is calculate your weight loss compared to the amount of hours you'll need to invest in this.

so there is 7000 cal burn per 2 pound (30/2.2*7000)= just about 1000.000 cal,
don't forget in the beginning is the most weight loss.

As I said 1 hour of biking = 900Cal assuming just about 20km/h (12.5m/h),
so all you need is 111 hours of bike workouts. The best way for the body fat is longer rides as you start to force the Muscles to use fat as fuel so in the beginning get on 1 hours rides and build it up slowly maybe 3-4times a week. Then as you are getting better (endurance) then extend the rides to 2-3 hours make some break in your session so bike for 1 hour rest for 10-20 min and then go again.

Now this is the initial training for the first month and I'll assume that you could loose about 10-15 pound in this phase don't forget to control what you eat (while you're workouts) you need some calories intake when you going on the small runs just go with some healthy breakfast (Kellogs Special K) a smaller portion 200-300cal. Some nice drinks like (Lemon drinks with bits). When you get to workouts duration of 2-3 hours you can start to eat more. If you want you could also get some sports nutrition drinks which will help you to recover muscles faster, when you do this your body (muscles) will start to recover faster and you can train more often. I'll recommend not to go more than 7 days in a row and then you'll need 1 rest day.

Ok so after 1 month or a weight loss of 15-20 pound then you can start running as well as I assume you will need this for your tryout for whatever sport you're going to do.

Running week 1.
Here is an easy start out:
start with running 1 mile 3 days a week slowly run (exchange this with 3 bike rides), slowly run means at 5 miles an hour. This goes for the 1.5 - 2 weeks.

Week2.
Now we increase running to 4 days a week so biking is now 2 days
3 days with 1 mile run but at 6.25m/h
1 day with 2 miles run at 5m/h speed (if you have energy for it try some interval training here) increase speed to half of your max for 60 meters then go for max speed for 60 meters, slow down to you normal speed 8m/h, this will increase your endurance and also extend your VO2max.

Week 3 running:
exchange your 1 miles runs with 2 miles run's where you do interval training
long runs 1-2 times a week (3-5 miles) slow pace.

So here is the final plan:

Week 1 -4 biking only (7 days at max 1 rest day)
5-6 days of 20-30 miles slow pace (12.5-16m/h) (Cadence RPM75-85)

Week 5-8 biking & Run's
3-5 days running the 1 mile at 8m/h
2 bike days 1*30 miles another 1*40 miles

Week 9-12 Biking and run's
3-5 days of run's 3*2miles at 7m/h, 1 run of 3 miles at 6m/h
1 long bike run 45-60 miles at 13-16m/h Cadence 75-85.

Week 12-16 Biking & Run's
3-5 days of run 3*3 miles at 8m/h, 1 long run 4-5 miles at 6m/h
1 long bike ride 45-60 miles at 13-16m/h Cadence (75-85RPM)

week 17-18 biking Running
3-5 days of running 4miles slow, 1 long run 6-8 miles slow
1 long bike ride (60-70 miles) at slow pace. (Cadence 80-85RPM)

Now you should be ready for you try out.

If you want to speed up the process you can also combine this with a fruit/fish diet.
Here is what I do:

Breakfast: Cereals Kellogs Special K

Lunch and snacking in between: Fruits, Clementine's, apples, pears

Dinner: Fish, pasta

Don't go on the weight scale every day, 3 days between weight days.

Don't get disappointed if the result does not show immediately at first it will take one week before you'll see result.

If you hot some point's where you feel you've done a lot of workouts but no results then eat just a little carbohydrates (Pasta) bread. On this diet you'll need once a week where you're allowed to eat what you like.
