265 POUNDS boy need a HELP

Less carbs and more protein. Try quinoa instead of rice. has the same texture but it is loaded with protein. In the morning have the whole boiled egg and some whole grain toast and a banana. cut out the cream of mushroom soup.

Since you like fruits, try making a smoothie and throwing some leafy vegetables in it. I swear you can't taste them and you get all the benefits of eating them.

Also, losing two pounds a week is FANTASTIC! Any more than that and it wouldn't be as healthy.

You're concerned because you're only losing 2 lbs a week? That's a large amount, and you can't expect to lose like that every week. Keep in mind, if you do it slowly, it's more likely to be able to maintain long term (meaning you'll keep it off).

I do agree, cut back on the rice. Also make sure you are eating the whole grain brown rice, not white. It has a lot more fiber and other nutrients, will fill you up longer with less, and has a TON more flavor (it takes more water to cook it, and longer time). And switch up your exercise. If you can, join a gym that offers classes as part of the membership. That can really give you a chance to mix it up. Or go to the library and browse through their fitness DVDs and try a few. Add weights in to some of your routines (Jillian Michaels is good for that). And definitely add in vegetables. Eat them fresh, raw or steamed. They taste the best that way. Our favorites in my house are broccoli (frozen, Pictsweet Steamables is great, easy to keep and to cook), Red Peppers (raw, yum!) and Sweet Potatoes (bake at 350 for about 90 minutes, then scoop out of the skin once it's cooled). It's okay to have a bit of ranch dressing/dip with it, but measure out 1 serving so you don't go overboard.

That doesn't sound like a lot of calories. You can also not lose because you don't eat enough. Your body goes into starvation mode.

thanks .i do EXERCISE EVERYDAY,i go jog every morning and evening up and down the hill , and i even go to gym several times a week but yet i found that its hard for me lose weight

yes I know its tough especially when you are really heavy. I experienced that too. I easily get tired of running because I'm big and not used to it. Make it your habit and don't lose hope. Know your BMR first so you know how much calories you should need to take everyday. So you're 18 and young you can lose weight easily than older people. 1-2lbs a week is a good weight loss. Do some cardio exercises that will enjoy your self like basketball or gym. Depends on what you will enjoy. Look after healthy foods instead of fatty foods. You can do it.

THanks for the post my friends ,i will try to follow the advise given, and i dont COUNT my calories,its hard since my mom cook ,and i need to search in the internet to know the calories im eating,its hard u know

I bet your mom would be willing to give you her recipes so you could figure out how many calories you're eating.

All my food is cooked behind closed doors in my college cafeteria. I still count calories. I do my best to guess, and it's worked! Try counting for a while, follow MFP's guidlines. It truly can change your life.

THANKS ! and my BMI is 39 ! WAY TO HIGH and im scared =(

I mean you BMR(Basal Metabolic Rate) is the amount of daily energy expended
whats your height and weight?

YES ! MY mom always give me advice and control my food intake =D

Tell her about the site, show her how it works. You just need to put your information in and it will give you a daily goal. Your mom sounds very supportive and would help you work with the site.

If you have any questions ever, just send me a message.

I just know about the soy souce,i usually eat rice with soy souce since it risen up the taste

Soy sauce can be really high in sodium so you might want to actually measure out how much you're using before you use it. Personally, I had a problem with this because I have an addiction to it. I even eat it on eggs (we can thank Lucky Star for that idea! :laugh: ) But if you're eating a lot of sodium, make sure you get your water intake.

Also, as for logging the food, you can log the ingredients separately and use the Quick Tools function to make it a meal. If you need help with this, you can add me and I'll be more than willing to help you with anything you need!

hope this helps cus i had a problem that i wasnt losing anything and my doctor told me it was because of fruit!!!you could be like me, im not alowed to eat fruit the natural sugars are too much for my body to handle and its like eating cake lol try 2 weeks of not eating fruit and only eating green vegetables and if you lose more ull noe why...
and if it works since u need fruit id recomend vitamin supplments.

Losing 1 - 2 lbs a week is great!

Try to count the calories you eat. If you eat too little I think it's bad for you and eating too much is bad too.

I love rice and soy sauce. I cut back on my rice intake to about once a week. I bought low sodium soy sauce.
Or when I go out I get a small bowl of won ton soup and rice, then use some of the won ton soup juice over the rice instead of soy sauce.

Make sure you eat your protein to help your muscles and load up on veggies.

Try to stay away from things that are fried, it's hard, but it's possible. Try to only drink water.

When I eat at home I use small plates so my brain thinks I'm eating a huge meal. That might help too
