I'm Male, 17 years old and currently 5'11 or 6' and atm weigh 149 pounds with a pretty medium frame. My parents are afraid i'm losing too much weight, i've lost a lot of weight here recently, but I still have some pudge on my chest/stomach/thighs. I've been doing 15 minutes of cardio with some crunches and "burpies" every night so I don't really understand why these areas are being so stubborn, oh and I pretty much completely lost my butt after losing weight.

So pretty much, is 145-149 an acceptable weight for a guy my age and height?
P.S. I'd rather be slim/skinny than bulky.

Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 173
Age: 17

Hey guys, I have a couple questions to ask. First, I've been recording weight loss. I started off 185 and right now, I'm at 173. But for some reason, I can't see a difference! I still look a bit chubby, and thats what I'm trying to shed off, the chubby-ness. I'm losing about 1.5-2lbs a week.

My second question is, how many grams of carbohydrates should i be eating? I'm asking this because I heard that excess carbs turn into fat, if they are not used for exercise. So with that being said, i feel as though I'm losing water weight, not fat weight, and thats the reason why I cant see a difference in my physique.

Can anyone help me out with this, please? And also, can you please answer all my questions? Thanks guys, much appreciation!

So I'm 16 years old, and about..163 pounds..BUT I am losing weight..And i'll get right into that. I went in for a physical a month ago, but I began dieting before then..But the doctor advises me to lose weight..
So here's the deal…Since a month ago, I've been off sugar..I got off sugar completely. And I feel so much better then I did when I drank about a coke everyday..So I've been doing good..And the only meal I eat is dinner. Yes, It's unhealthy but..I'm not that much of an eater..And I never have time to eat breakfast or lunch..But I DO have time to snack..So, also a month ago, I laid off fattening foods..Like chips, or..Anything, really..I've been snacking on mandarins, and celery only..

But here's the problem..EXERCISE..I'm always too exhausted from school to get any exercise…And it's not because my life is hectic..It's actually simple, besides always feeling lonely..The daytime just makes me feel tired..I used to exercise daily, and I had that going for 4 weeks…What i'd do is sit ups, and i'd lift a 10 pound weight, along with 5 pound weights for each hand. My parents call me lazy for not exercising..

I'm a little lazy, but..Really, the thing that makes me stop is…It's so routine..I hate doing the same thing over and over again, I get bored..I need to stay stimulated, you know? Doing the same things everydays just so boring for me..I can't join any gyms because we don't have the money..My mom and I have been to numerous gyms..The YMCA messed up my leg..And any other gyms were just..Complex..We have to get 20 dollar a month memberships, I have to pick my own schedule, I have to pick out a class to be in, my personal trainer..And, it was just too much..All I want to do is go there, and exercise..That's it.

So we gave up on the gym..I tried running..I love running, but..I have to admit, this is sort of a dangerous neighborhood..Back when I was younger, I could walk everyday and not have a problem..But now? Everytime I go out for a walk, I eventually run into some creep who starts bullying me. And I don't know whats wrong with the neighbors 3 blocks away from us..One day I'm out on a walk, and one of the guys who live there is standing in the front yard looking at me..and for some reason, he f**king growls at me…And his kids are just messed up..I've seen his kids(or maybe it was another friend) ride through the streets on a harley davidson,while the kid in the back held a cricket bat, and swung it at people..

So forget that. What can I do to exercise, without becoming bored? My main goal is to lose the fat in my stomach area.. Does anyone have any good ideas? Maybe some therapeutic exercises that you yourself use when you work out?

Also, to you spammers out there..No, I don't want lipo-suction, colon cleansing. I've tried slimquick, i've tried the Acai berry. Stop spamming me. I don't care.

I had 2 ferrets for a year and 4 months. Cookie and Isis… they're both so sweet. Well, at least Cookie… *was.* 3 days ago he got a blockage, and it caused him many problems. We finally got to an emergency vet… they gave him fluids, then 3 hours later operated on him. Just a short time into it, his heart gave out and my mom hung up the phone, told me, and thus my eyes and face are now bright red… but I don't think I'm as upset as Isis.

From the time they took him out to start the fluids, she was running around the carrier looking for him. She stayed awake the full 45 minute drive home. The longest nap she's taken here at home has been 20 minutes. All she does is look for him… and look… and look… she's only eating treats, yet drinking fine.

She relied a LOT on Cookie for her warmth and company at night. She ate with him. she slept with him. She played with him. She's spent her entire life with him… and now he's gone and I have no way of telling her what happened.

She's already so small, and I don't ever want a depressed, losing weight ferret on my hands. She's healthy… but tiny. Even tinier of a ferret like herself, and I would lose her too. So I've finally after an hour decided she *needs* a buddy again, that would look like Cookie, and at least act like him a *tiny* bit… (but I could never replace Cookie… I could only buy another ferret and name him Cookie.) I just want to help her through her pain, and mine… Cookie was too young for a *STUPID* packing Styrofoam peanut to kill him. (This is what we suspect killed him, because that was the only dangerous thing we knew of. Everything, and I mean *everything* was ferret proofed. It was also my moms idea for the peanuts…)

So, we're thinking of getting another tomorrow, and seeing how it goes. Is this okay to do? I'm way too scared to keep her alone because of how tiny she is. She has tons of blankets and beds, etc., but I don't like her being alone. I always used to know Cookie was there for her… I just still can't believe he's gone.

Now, I'm only 11. I don't really need any mean or rude answers, frankly; all I need is to know is can I bring another ferret in, and will it help. Thank you.

Im 13 and want to lose 3 pounds a week for 10 weeks. what are some tips on losing weight? also, can you list foods that i can eat for the next ten weeks? thanx in advance

Hi,
Im looking for a little advice about general fitness/weight loss.
Im currently 17, (Male), 6'2" and i weigh around 12 stone 7.
This reads of a healthy BMI result but im not happy!
Basically, Iv got stomach fat (not a great deal, just a little excess that needs to be lost) and small man boobs.
Im not comfortable with these and i have tried to start eating healthier and exercising when i can, normally half an hour 4 times a week.
Has any one got any other tips?

I I have taken Yaz for 3 years. I have a lot of trouble losing weight and gaining lean muscle mass. I currently weigh 123lbs, when I started birth control I weighed 114lbs. I gained those pounds when I started Yaz and haven't been able to lose them. My doctor told me if I stopped taking Yaz I would lose between 5-10lbs. There is no reason for me to be on birth control at this time, and I always use condoms when I am sexually active. Has anyone experienced weight loss after stopping birth control, and if so, how much? Thank you!

I'm currently overweight and for me weight loss takes monnntthhhhsssss.. 1 lb a week if I'm lucky and I am planning on getting a tattoo much sooner than that, that starts on my hip bone (which is kinda high for most people, but its just my body) and goes to right above my pant line.. I do have a gut and I plan on losing that and I don't plan on ever getting pregnant so that won't ruin it but will losing weight make my tattoo get stretched out or weird looking?

Usually i eat 1200 calories a day, and I am losing weight and I am very pleased..however, I dont want to dprive myself of any nutrients or stunt my growth or anything because I am not eating enough! Any suggestions with weight loss welcome:) thanksss! also, i am a little over 5'1, if i were to be 105 pounds, wuld that be the perfect weught for me to strive for?

Okay, so I'm 15 years old, 5'5", and I just got on the scale recently and I weigh 170 lbs.
I know, but I also have really really heavy thick bones. I definitely don't look that heavy, but it is what it is.
Regardless, I'm still kind of chubby, and I need to lose weight, since it's very unhealthy for my age. I have a treadmill. I'm going start working out this week and eating healthier. I've been eating fruits for breakfast and lunch, and drinking water w/ every meal. Can someone please suggest for me to get in the quickest way to get into good shape by the summer time? My goal is 20 lbs. of weight loss. Maybe more. Any more suggestions? Please no insults.
