Can I ask why you are trying to lose so much so quickly. Often times when you first start a new diet, you may lose that much in the first week but it is usually just water weight...0

Dont eat anything 3 hrs before you go to sleep that will give you time to digest the food, stick to a routine for a week, to see what works for you, also if your new to working out, go for walks once a day for 30mins(makes a big difference)0 -
watch the show " I used to be fat ' on mtv if you have on demand you can watch them all they have 100 days to slim down before college. If nothing else it is a inspirational show. I do know from watching it is a lot of excerise and eating right.0

Stop the train a minute.
Honey, you're not going to lose 190 lbs - per your profile - in three months. It's not going to happen, short of you losing a few limbs. Can you lose a substantial amount of weight in that time? Yes. I don't know your starting or goal weights, or height, but you have GOT to set yourself some REALISTIC goals. Otherwise, you're just going to get massively discouraged, and quit. Especially at your age. I'm 25 and I STILL have the focus of a pigeon at times.
This site is filled with SO much info, and so many amazing people. That you're starting at all is a step in the right direction. With hard work, dedication, exercise, and a great diet full of yummy, healthy foods, you could attain your goal. ABSOLUTELY. Stay strong, absorb all the knowledge you can, and get healthy. That's what matters.0 -
Just take a day by day. The more you want it the less you will get.0

As a one time deal (because generally speaking 5lbs in 1 week is unhealty) you could easily lose 5lbs in one week by carefully tracking and cutting your sodium. Keep it below 1000grams per day and you should be able to flush any water weight your carrying. Often that will amount to close to 5lbs on its own

First off, you didn't get to whatever weight you're at over night, in a week, or in a month. In fact, it probably took several months, years even, to get to where you are now. It's going to take time to pull the weight back off as well. It's not an overnight process.
Take time to read the forums. There are plenty of people who have already detailed the best courses of action for different folks.
The biggest key is eating habits.0 -

what she said. just spend time educating yourself on being healthy and how the body works. and i can say the 2 most important things when dieting for me have been to be honest with myself about what ive been eating, and to just have COMMON SENSE. people forget about that. common sense tells you that a big mac is not healthy for you. so yeah. good luck. 0 -

This is awful advice. First of all 5 lbs a week is an unreasonable goal, impossible even, and to support that goal is folly. Second of all, the whole not eating before you go to bed is nonsense. It doesn't matter when you eat throughout the day provided you stay at your calorie goal.0 -
Eat 3 healthy meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) a day with 2 healthy snacks in between each meal that equal to around 1,200 calories and to start off with exercising try to just walk a 1/2 hour a day, don't go too slow though, get your body moving. Do not drink any soda, try to only drink water everyday. If you really do that every single day for 30 days you can drop at least 10 lbs in a month - that's all it took for me (the first time around.)0

It would be impossible. You would have to eat 17,500 calories LESS than you burn. So, if you are eating 1500 calories per day (just a average number for MFP), with a deficit of 500 calories per day, that would mean MFP figures you would burn about 2000 calories a day with a sedentary lifestyle. So, if you burn about 2000 calories per day, you would burn about 14,000 calories per week. How COULD you eat 17,500 calories LESS than 14,000 calories per week? Even if you didn't eat ANY calories all week, you would only lose 4 pounds. Seven days without any calories would probably result in a serious if not emergency result, healthwise. I am not speaking of water weight loss, just true weight loss. So, slow down. You are young and have many, many years ahead of you (well, unless you keep thinking this way). Use your MFP tools and lose weight the healthy way. Lose weight in a way you won't be yo-yoing all your life, which is what will happen if you try to lose weight quickly. Good luck. And, hopefully you will start your healthy new lifestyle and not have to result in panic decisions, because you will already have the healthy body you desire.

Welcome to the site first off. Congrats on taking the first few steps to a healthier you.
Now comes the fun stuff- how much you lose will depend on a bunch of different things, instead of focusing on losing such a large amount in such a short amount of time why not focus on making a healthier you. You're body is going to fluctuate throughout the days and the first few weeks of a diet change is going to be one of the hardest times to figure out if you are actually losing weight or water.
Do some research into how much you should be eating for your height, weight, and age. Also start exercising- but make sure to give yourself time to recover, maybe a day out of the week. Drink plenty of water, and try to go with fresh foods and less processed ones.
If you have a hard time staying with a big goal that will take a while to accomplish, which weight loss can be, then set mini goals instead of a large one, something like 5 lbs in a month. Be realistic and know that by going the long way to it you are more likely to stay at a healthier weight in the end, where as if you lose a bunch of weight fast it is possible that you will gain most or all of it back after a while. Learn as much as you can about being healthy that way when you are back on a "normal" diet you know what to eat.
Good luck to you 0 -
i lost 15 lbs in 4 weeks, i did it safely and i didnt starve myself, i started at 268lbs therefore loosing more than 1lb a week in the first few weeks is realistic, but you shouldnt aim to loose more than 1/2lbs a week really!
take regular walks, eat 3 meals a day drink plenty of water lots of fruit and veg plenty of protein and try switching to brown bread rice pasta ect
take your measurements as well as weighing yourself as sometimes you dont loose weight but you do inches,
if you want a snack choose yoghurt, veggie sticks or low cal cereal bars
eat little but often to keep your metabolism ticking over
if you eat out avoid sauces, fried food and cheesy dishes. if you want a desert have a small one or better yet get something nice from the shops on the way home feel free to add me for support and dont push yourself too hard, baby steps and you can keep off the weight xxx 0 -

^^^^^^ If you haven't read this twice already, read it NOW. If you have, read it AGAIN.
Look, you're amazing for taking weight loss seriously like this. I admire that. I've been struggling with weight since I was eleven years old, I'm in my 40s now, and if I could talk to eleven-year-old me I wish I could tell that stupid kid to do exactly what you are doing.
But if you really have 190 pounds to lose, it simply ain't gonna happen in three months. You want to make sure you do this in a healthy fashion, and when you're done you have the tools you need to keep it off and remain healthy for the rest of your life.
Start now. Follow the setup guide and figure out how much you should eat to lose 2 pounds a week. Get your carbohydrates, protein, and fat intake in balance. Start some exercise at whatever level you are comfortable with and start eating the calories you earn from that. Drink lots of water. Do this and you WILL get healthy, and the weight will come off naturally.
If you try to do this quickly, you won't learn how to make it last. Take the time to do the job correctly, and you'll be setting yourself up for a lifetime of healthy eating.0 -
I was in your shoes in high school. I focused and exercised and worked out everyday. I lost 40 lbs in 2 months. So 3 months, and you have a total of 190 lbs to lose, I'll say that you could lose an easy 60 lbs if you stay majorly committed to your routine, maybe more.
I would say first thing, eat healthy, make sure to keep track of your calories, fat, carbs, and add tracking your sodium as well. It's under your food diary, and under settings. Next, make sure to eat 1400-1500 calories a day. If you can manage to eat a majority of your calories during lunch, that is best. I agree with everyone about not eating within 3 hours of bedtime. I'll even workout a little about an hour before bed. For the last week, I did my stationary bike for 15-20 mins about an hour after dinner and and 2 hours before bedtime. I dropped 4 lbs last week.
If you are not use to exercising, start with walking at a brisk pace, and if you can do a half an hour to start, that would help, but always try to push yourself. Also, switch it up a lot. It shocks your body and creates more weight loss. I'll sometimes walk, then I'll run a little, and then the elliptical, and then the stair master, and spinning. Lifting weights is also a great way to lose weight. Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is a good way to go too. Looks like you have a lot of options from a lot of different people.
Good Luck!!! Feel free to friend me if you'd like. I log on everyday and I'm always here for support.0 -

My goal is to lose 100lbs. I've given myself 15 months to accomplish my goal. That's 6 2/3 lbs a month or 1.5 lbs a week. I'd doing better that that right now (40lbs since Jan 1st) but I suspect that will slow as I get closer to my goal.
I wish you success in your endeavors.0 -
