Georgia asked:
I’m 14 and would like to lose a bit of weight. I’m not worried about losing weight really fast or anything. I have about 5 months to slim down. I just want to get rid of my big hips and tummy. I don’t mind being a bit curvy still but I’d like to be able to wear closer fitting clothes and not be uncomfortable.

eat less move more
try preparing your meals as you usually would, take 1/3 of the meat and starches off the plate, leave any veggies or salads. Also try drinking a bottle of water with a meal, drink between each bite. Try to squeeze in 20-30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week, weather it be walking, yardwork, heavy duty housework, try to break a sweat.
You should lose 2-3 lbs a week this way.
Also, stop drinking soda, it’s so bad for weight loss. Switch to lowfat or non-fat dairy, salad dressings, etc.
Keep in mind a serving size of meat is about the size of a deck of playing cards.
