hello sir,
i am a teenager of 15-16yrs old. my weight is 60 and height is 5feet 3inches. i want to loose weight but i cannot do deiting because i have to study for long hours due to which i have neck pain and headache. please suggest some tips
if you are already 60 lbs i dont think you need to lose weight
I need some information..
Of all the lentils we have, can you please let me know which ones are good for health and which ones aren’t??
boiled Peanuts attract me and i can eat loads of them and i am a fan of our daal, regardless of which lentil it is prepared off!!
my friends say, i am putting on weight because of lentils and am worried towards my increase in waist line.
I hope to hear from some one.
Regards, Mr.VMV.
Kamna,i think that being 60 pounds and 5ft3′ at your age is probably healthy. it sounds as though you are already thin and maybe you should work out to gain tone, if shape is what you are after. keep on eating a healthy diet consisting of foods from the earth. The less food has been touched by others,better for the body.

My stomact look bigger, i’m unhappy with this. now i want to make it small, so i want to ask how to reduce my problem?
I think if you’re 60 lbs and only 5′3″ you have an eating disorder and need to get professional help.

60lbs or 60kg – if pounds then you need to gain weight. My daughter is 100lbs same age and height and she is thin
Kamna Ahuja, you are only 15-16 years old and your weight of 60 pounds is not at all heavy. You DO NOT need to loose weight. You are still growing as a teenager. Just concentrate on your study and don’t worry about loosing the pounds. I have a 6 years old son and he weighs more than you do(80 lbs.)
Sincerely,
Concerned parent
Are these real comments? Some really dont make much sense
im 24 yrs 105kg with 6ft and 4 inch i want to lose my weight about 30kgs
you need a doctor. did you weigh your self wright! 60lbs. is no bigger then a 6 or 7 year old kid.
The person probably meant 60 kgs people.
Mr VMV
you can eat any lentil. you are not gaining weight due to lentils ,there must be some other reasons. lentils have lots of fibers, good carbs and protein. In India, people eat lentils daily, they don’t gain weight.
I think one person is writing all those comments about being a certain age, height, and weight. They all have the same tone. Probably someone being silly.

mera weight 60 kg hai. mera sara din sitting ka kaam hai. mai morning mei 6.00 am, se night 9.00 pm tak sitting ka kaam hi karti hoo. mai apna weight kam karna chati hoo. please koi tarika batao.
I am 198 LBS and I would like to loose weight but nothing works for me. I have slow thyroid and my age is 56 yrs old. I donot have Diabites.
EVERYONE SHOULD READ. Being someone who has dieted alot the truly fastest way to loose weight is cardio i like the elliptical machine. I used to do an hour a day and you i lost a size in a few days and once you do it everyday it just becomes a habit and you know your going to to do it. But even after i got to the size i wanted i still didnt think i looked good enough, I have spent so much of my life thinking about how i wish i could loose weight and how i wish i would look thinner but once i stopped and thought its not about being thin its about being healthy and happy I STARTED TO LOOSE WEIGHT! without even trying and because i wasn’t always doubting myself i was much more confident and you’d be surprised the people who love you when you love yourself.
i don’t get it, 15 or 16 years old weigh 60 POUNDS?
that is crazy, why do you feel you need to lose weight, babe, you need to GAIN weight!
i am very concerned about the amount of 12-16 year olds posting about losing weight when they all weigh under 120! It is very scary! Trust me Kids, you do not have to be stick thin no matter what our society sayS!

Hi…I’m 13-14 yrs old and I am 5″6 and 125 lbs. I know I’m not ‘fat’ but I do have some chubbyness that I would like to get rid of; Also, I have lost like 10 lbs and then gained 12 so many times that my skin doesn’t stretch back very fast. Is there any fast remedey? I’ve heard of a lotion you rub on your skin, I think of Jasmine or something, but it costs like 100 dollars that I obviously don’t have. Also, I love veggies and fruits, what would you say is the healthiest and most effective in losing weight? Thanks so much!
hi,i m 69kg and165cm..i want to loss 17 kg.i try almost 4 year
Mr VMV
Gaining weight due to lentils is true. Lentils are very nutritious with lots of protein, but it has carbs as well. If you are eating Lentils along with some bread (rice or roti), as bread contains a lot of carbs, your total carbs intake is increasing. So, lentils are healthy to eat, but watch your total intake of carbs which is a major cause to put on weight especially for people from India.

Hi guyz, I’m 17-19 years old and i weight about 210 pounds. I am following a diet plan which i take very seriously and i lost about 10 pounds in a week. DIET PLAN is : just eat salad without any ranch or any sauces in morning eat an apple on 5′00 clock and dont eat after 6′00 clock. you have to take this diet serious because a famous Indian singer lost 200 pounds in a period of 4 MONTHS! his name is Adnan Sami. He followed this diet plan and he did it so good luck guys you can do it!

Hi, 2 things first off my name is Cathrine I am 12- 14 years old and I am completely overweight but I am closer to obese. I am 5′8 1/2 and weigh about 219 pounds. I don’t have health issues and I play a lot of sports (pretty intensely) but I am worried that if I don’t start loosing weight I will begin to have health problems. Even though I play sports it is not doing anything I can barely loose a pound. I’m confused and lost I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. Can anyone help me? Please?
Secondly I would like to address the person, Kamna Ahuja. I don’t want to hurt your feelings or anything like that but if you are between 15-16 years old and are only 60 pounds and if that’s not enough you still want to loose weight, you honestly need to seek medical help. This is unhealthy this is what most would call anerexia. I have a 10 year old sister who weighs more then you (she’s around 90 pounds). This is extremely concerning you have become overly obsessed with loosing weight, you don’t need to be 160 pounds but you should be at least 110-115. Again I’m not saying this to be mean but………………………
YOU NEED MEDICAL HELP YOUR VERY SICK AND NEED TO GET HELP BEFORE IT’S TO LATE! YOU COULD DIE FROM THIS DIESE (ANEREXIA)!
look i think the girl the posted the first comment ment 160 and you guys shouldnt jump on her like that telling her that she needs help, my best friend had a similar problem and everyone told her that she needed help instead of just telling her that she was a good size or suggesting that that hey go on a diet to get healthy together and she killed herself and the suicide note was horrible!! U people should watch what u say to people!!

I am finally starting to lose weight. The combination of this site and my online personal training and nutrition plan through fit4lyfe I really feel ontop of what I need to be doing for my body. I love this site and the support it can give. I have 9 more lbs to lose and I hope I can do it before my wedding this summer. If anyone needs to lose that extra weight I highly recommend fit4lyfe online with this site. It really helped get me through my weight loss.
much luv, enjoy your day
Marie
http://www.fit4lyfe.webs.com- if anyone is interested
hi marie….but i heard many things like what you are saying are useless, and don’t work…..how are we meant to know its going to work 100% ?…x
It will work if you do it the right way through nutrition and a fitness plan and you stick with it without cutting corners. I went to school for this and focused so much on how the body reacts to exercise and nutritional changes. I have had hundreds of clients over the years and am confident in my program, and if not it is a 100% moneyback. It isnt about dieting, its about a life change
that is right from there site and I have spoken and met her personally

Im 25 and I have put on wieght in the last year and a half .I use to weigh 105 which is the best wieght for my hieght and body type. I currently wiegh 120 Im 4ft 10 inches. I gain it in my hips,thighs and stomach. No one seems to think Im over wieght but I feel sluggish and unhealthy. My activity level hasnt changed much eithier.I’m a full time college student and try not to eat in the cafeteria if possible. I dont eat fastfood at all really and I dont feel like Im eating anymore than I use too. I just want to feel healthy again. I dont have anywhere to exercise because there is no place to.I don’t want to pay for a gym memebership because it can be costly. Getting to a gym would be hard anyway because I need to buy another car.Long story short. Any suggestions on wieght loss and explanations on why I gained weight would be greatly appreciated. thnaks
