How can I lose 20 pounds (lbs). in 10-20 weeks and stay that way for as long as possible?

I burn 300 calories (1 hour of DDR Supernova Workout Mode) per day and I eat pretty healthily. I drink two bottles of water. I am 5′7″ and I’m 168 pounds now, and I want to be between 145 and 150 pounds before the summer. Is this a possible goal? Is there anything else I should do to help myself lose this weight? (I’m 13 by the way). Should I wait until summer so I can impress all of my peers when I go back to school in Sept. 2007? (Plus, I swim for about 2 hours every other day in the summer). Just wondering all of this. Give any advice you have please, and if you have had personal experience with weight loss, please tell me what worked best for you!

    We know more about weight loss and diet than ever before. Especially, in the past decade, more and more people are conscious of their health and living longer. The first step is diet.
    Diet or health eating, as it should be called, is the key to weight loss. Most people reckon of Atkins or No Carbs when they hear DIET. One thing for sure we have some amusing ways of loosing weight.
    Here is what we do know. Dieting is not healthy for you and your body. The reason is you are starving you body of nutrients and proteins that your body needs. Second to that these diets don’t ensure weight loss. Inevitably, most people place the weight back on because they loose 10 pounds and reckon hey look at me I feel fantastic.
    (Three square meals a day) You should change you mentality or that of your parents. Part of the key to loosing weight and keeping it off is METABOLISM. When people eat large meals, like Christmas dinner or all you can eat buffet their Metabolism sky rockets. That means you body uses up all the energy to digest that food. This is why most people want to take a nap after a large meal.
    The trick is start by eating the same amount of food but instead of three large meals, try 7-9 times throughout the day. This prevents your Metabolism from rising and falling. If you Metabolism stays at a constant rate it will much simpler for you to loose weight and see results quicker.
    Now that you have changed you eating habits, you need to change what you eat. Potato chips, Coke or Pepsi and chocolate bars have a very high in sugar. You body can turn this into energy really quick but then you metabolism is on the roller coaster again.
    At this point is when you need to start looking at fruits, vegetables, meats, whole grains and food like that. You don’t have to eat the same stuff day in and day out. Just remember that if the mark reads like you’re in science class you should probably not eat it.
    If you can do these two very simple steps your weight loss will be swift and effective.
    If you want to jump start your weight loss there is a aggressive two weeks diet that you can start yourself on. Type in Cabbage Soup Diet on any search engine and read the instructions carefully. This diet is fantastic if you have Prom, High School reunion, Wedding and you want to loose 10-15 pounds. Word of caution if you use this type of diet remember this is not a solution, this is a jump start on healthy living. You should also take a strong multi-vitamin.

    it is perfectly possible.

    really make sure your eating a healthy balanced diet and your not lacking any nutrients. o excellent tip is track what you eat. http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov is teh official food pyramid food diary. fill it out everyday and itll tell you what nutrients your lacking or have too much of.

    excersize. your 13 so i would 3 times a week is excellent. for 30-45 minutes. Its not excellent fopr young ppl to lose weight quick so take it slow, dont try to lose all teh weight in teh next few weeks. Try to lose maybe 1-2 pounds a week, maybe 3. do cardio, run, lift light weights, pushups, pull ups, cruntches, all teh normal excersizes.

    EXCELLENT LUCK!

    o and i dont have any personal experience with weight loss through this way. When i was in t 6th grade i became a bit of a health nut and i lost my baby stout. or well i grew 4″ and gained 1 pound.

    make excersizing fun so you stick to it!

    Try drinking nothing but water. I lost 15 lbs in 2 months…..and since I haven’t drank much other than water since I have lost a total of 50 lbs. I also work out and eat well, but I had the same problem. You could also try lifting weights. Weights increase your calorie burn and build toned muscle.
    And you know you really shouldn’t worry about your weight so much, maybe you are at the weight you should be. And you will probably get taller as you get older, guys don’t stop growing until like 18. And that could effect how you look too.

    I was working out and eating right but one thing I failed to do was drink enough water. Now I drink about 9 glasses a day and it works. I feel fantastic and am losing the wieght.
