Weight Watching Blog

Hello, Okay this is my situation I just turned 18 my height is about 5′10 I weight about 130 (and I feel I am overweight) and I want to go down to 120-122, does anybody have a good suggestion for a good healthy diet to achieve that goal, thanks in advance.

The best way to do this is to go to a website called choosemyplate.gov. There, they have all the tools you need to plan your weight loss. They have a tool, specifically, where you input your height, weight, age, and whether you’re looking to lose, gain, or maintain your current weight. Once you do that and create an account, it will provide you with your current BMI (body mass index) and create for you a personalized food pyramid guide that will tell you what kinds of foods to eat and how much of it your need in order to reach your goals. There are also food diaries as well as exercise diaries to track your progress (it will even tell you which nutrients you are getting enough of, getting too much of, or getting too little of in your food diary, so you can be healthier on the inside as well as looking it on the outside). The best part is that all of it is free!

I don’t personally think that your current weight to height ratio is a problem (I am pretty sure your BMI falls in the healthy range), but you need to also keep in mind that dieting alone is not a healthy way to achieve your weight loss goals. Good general advice for anyone looking to lose weight is to take in about 1500-1800 calories per day–depending upon your activity level–consisting of a wide variety of healthy foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean meats, low-fat and fat-free dairy, and healthy fats like omega 3, 6, and 9). It is also important to get moderate to strenuous exercise for 30 minutes at least 5 days a week to lose weight.

Eat less and exercise more.

Was just wondering what the healthy weight range for a 15 year old should be, I think i’m around 5ft 2 or somethin which is about 1.524 metres. I weigh around 9.5 stone.

40 kg to 55 kg, healthiest guys out there have this, you could ask this at health centres near you or friends which you feel are healthy, stay cool

I need to know what is the best weight loss pills or drinks that wal-mart cvs or walgreens sell. What is the best product, fastest and cheapest. And do they really work?

I started taking Zi Xiu Tang Bee Pollen supplements last week and have lost 15 pounds in 1 week.

I haven’t started exercise yet, but am starting Monday. I cut pop out of my diet, and I’ve stopped eating when I’m halfway done and gauged how I felt, and if I was full, I stopped.

These pills are wonderful, I know of two other people losing weight with them. Good luck.

This video demonstrates the dangers overweight trucks can pose to drivers on the highways. Here, an overweight truck burns up its breaks trying to control its decent down a steep grade West Virginia mountain. Currently, the maximum weight permitted by law is 80,000lbs but the trucking industry is lobbying Congress to increase that weight to 120,000lbs. This will pose a serious safety risk to the motoring public. Contact your local member of Congress and tell them NO to bigger truck sizes and weights and contact the Truck Safety Coaltion to find out how you can fight these increases. www.trucksafety.org
