Open Question: How can i lose weight safely and quickly?
I am a 15 year-old male and I've struggled with weight issues almost my whole life. I recenntly went on the HCG drops diet and it works great, but I always end up cheating and ruining it. I only want to lose 25-35 llbs. So how could I go about losing weight safely because of my age and quickly? I am looking to lose the weight within 2-3 months and I want a diet where I won't ruin it by endulging every once and a while.
-thanks

(read more)Open Question: Am I burning enough calories in the gym?
I go to the gym 3 times a week. I'd like to go more, but I have classes so I can't.
Anyways, each time I go I burn around 900-1000 calories. (I do cardio and strength training)
I'm 16. Female. 5'1. 135 pounds. My BMR is 1350-1400.
The most I usually eat in a day is 900 calories. That's if I'm really hungry. On an average day I eat 700. (This is including what I eat and drink). It's not because I'm starving myself, but I'm just not hungry. If I eat when I'm not hungry I get sick and just throw it up.
At this rate, how long would it take my to lose 20 pounds? Should I burn more?

(read more)Open Question: How did I lose 40 pounds in 2 months?
I have always been really overweight, and I'm 16. I weighed in at 242 lbs. the last time I was at the doctor. Then I started working out every day, and then started coaching special olympics swimming as well. So 3-4 times a week, I ended up getting to the rec. center at about 2:30, did some eliptical/weight training for an hour, then stretched, then I usually just got something to eat and then hit the showers before swimming started at 5. then at 5 I was usually in the pool swimming for 2 hours. and on the days I didn't have this routine, I have an eliptical at home that I work out on for an hour. I also eat between 1000 and 1500 calories a day. And I went back to the doctor today, and I weighed 198. Is it normal for me to have dropped nearly 40 pounds in 2 months when I've done nothing but eating healthy, and exercising?

I have noticed I eat when I negative feelings or stress. Although, when things are really bad I have no appetite at all, so it is hard to put myself into a solid category. I don't know if I am really eating out of emotion of stress, it could be a phase because I am only fourteen years of age. Sometimes when I, eat I feel gluttonous and like I am gonna eat a lot, but I take a bite and I feel disgusting. ( I get over this after I try not to think about this.) I am sick of feeling this way! I have also noticed when I am faced with a stressful task or situation I eat. When I made a bad desicion, I eat. What can I do? I don't want to feel disgusting and fiflthy when I eat, or gluttonous! My Grandmother claims it is my way of getting out of doing something, but in truth, I eat while I am committing to a task. Either way, it gets done, but maybe she is right. Can anyone give me tips on what to do to stop feeling this way or eatin gso much? That would be SO appreciated!
