Teenage Girl Weight Loss?
I’m going into my sophmore year of highschool in mid-August and really want to turn my life around.
I’m taking summer school and have high grades.
I’ve reversed my depression.
I also found out i had natural talent for guitar, so im taking lessons now.
So high grades, musical talent, feeling happy, my whole life is turning around and i feel great.
But the one thing I have yet to transform, is my body.
I’m 5′5.5 and 205 LBs.
But its not like I look obese.
If this makes sense, in the mirror i can see that i HAVE a waistline, like there’s an outline to it, its just covered up.
I wear a 16 in pants and a L or XL in tops.
So what would be a good diet and exercise plan to start me off?
I would like to loose 20 LBs before school starts August 13th if thats possible.
Also, I don’t eat any seafood excpet tuna, steak, brocolli,asparagaus,or cauliflower.
I like eggs and chicken a lot, so if you could include that
and i would mostly like exercise on the treadmill.
thanks 
Please don’t just copy and paste something from wikipedia,
I want your actual oppinion.
thanks
Find a good work out gym in your area. And go three times a week. Do not try to fast or skip meals, just change how you eat. By the way congratulations on what you have done so far. Eat Breakfast, like an egg, toast, milk, a cup of oatmeal, skipping breakfast only makes you hungry, and you eat more at lunch. East lots of fruit and vegetables, and broil your fish, instead of frying it. Walk places instead of riding in a car.
Have you had a recent check up at the doctors, if you have not this would be a good idea, to rule out under active thyroid, which can cause you to put on weight. Stay away from soda pop, sugar free too. Carry water with you, so you will not be tempted by soda’s. Good Luck, and do not pin your expectations on losing all 20 pounds. You can still take it off, after you go back to school, and be aware you will lose more in the beginning and then reach a place where you just do not lose any more weight for a long time, but keep on, you will pass this place and start to lose again. Try eating the broccoli, cauliflower without butter on them, hard at first, but you will learn to love the natural taste.
My daughter says you need to reward yourself with some sugar free ice cream, every now and then, because if you do not you will become resent full and pig out. Also a good snack is popcorn, with artificial butter.

well there you have it what you wrote is a good diet.just divide all that into 5 small meals you want a day(you can keep on changing every week but only with that food that you wrote)and also try to eat atleast one fruit in one of those meals.and drink from 6-10 cups of water and nothing sweet or too fatning.

Read this (btw, im gonna be a sophmore next year too and im 5′4" and 225 lbs. [at least last time that i weighed]):
try not to feel guilty about eating; eating and hunger are not bad and shouldn’t be felt guilty about. You shouldn’t try to fight your hunger; you should eat when you’re hungry, but only physically hungry(hunger that comes on gradually), not emotionally hungry(hunger that comes on instantly). The trick is tho u have to "consciously eat" which means you need to pay attention to what you’re eating w/out interruptions(ex. TV, computer, readling); here’s how to do this:
1.Take your utensil in your hand and get 1 bite of food in your mouth.
2. Put down the silverware and chew the food 20-30 times each; enjoy the bite of food while chewing it.(This aims to make you reduce your chewing speed by 50%)
3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you feel satisfied; try not to get super-full ever again. Also try not to get super-hungry ever again either; both of these states are not good for the body.
Also, here are 4 "golden" rules of eating:
1. When You Are Hungry, Eat
2. Eat What You Want, Not What You Think You Should
3. Eat Consciously And Enjoy Every Mouthful
4. When You Think You Are Full, Stop Eating
For exercise, you can walk or run on the treadmill and do yoga

well i’m the same age as you and everything, and the last thign you want to do is starve your body, NEVER do that, cause it messes up your whole body system, if you know what i mean.
ALWAYS EAT BREAKFAST.
maybe eat a power bar if you don’t have time or have a small bagel with peanut butter on it, only a little though. or put jelly on it.
snack- a fruit.
lunch- a sandwich or maybe a lean cuisine those are really good & sometimes on sale.
snack- fruit or veggitable.
dinner- a small portion of what your family’s having or a lean cusine or something light cause it’s the end of the day ya know?
dessert- (if your still hungry) maybe a yogurt. or another fruit.
