I know I should go by 1 scale should it be a gym stand on one with adjusting it thats from the 50's or a household one. Not only that but as well as I don't know exactly how to loose it. See I weigh 201 pounds and I am about 511 I got a big pot/beer belly. Also I have more curves then I want chest and butt. I am a male 15 years old and many people told me not to diet and I really don't eat that great amount of servings of vegitables only dinner I do have some. I tried to start cutting back and loosing weight I am down to 198 but I want to loose few pounds but I don't know how much I should be taking to be have it be healthy for me I forgot to count how much I use to take please help me and don't say look in here because I looked in here for around 5-10 min of searching couldn't find a thing.
 
First off, you're going to have to ask yourself how badly you really want it. Nothing is possible if you are aren't 100% ready to lose the weight and keep it off. With that said, you need to plan out your meals, eating 5-7 healthy meals a day, every 2-3 hours. Diet is very important, but I highly reccommend hitting the gym. Set yourself up time in your week to lift weights, and a healthy amount of cardio. I promise if you are honest with yourself, as far as eating right, busting your ass in the weights, pushing yourself hard on cardio, you will start to lose pounds steadily, while gaining muscle, changing your entire body.
 
Ok man heres the problem with some of it I figured my bmr and it said 1200 calories is what I need to maintain my weight does that seem a little low?
 
P.S also weight loss isn't new I use to weigh 190 then lost 20 then I slpurged during a long winter hit my big growth got more hungry and weight because of that now 199.
 
1200 does seem low. My BMR is higher than that and I'm 42 yrs old, 180lbs, 5'8". My calculations for you show 2541 if all you do is lay around.

Since you're 15, you should be able to lose the fat with a modicum of discipline (a lot of calories will fuel the growth process).

Read the links theilip posted and develop an eating plan.

Well I want to say thank you and also I need to say that I don't just sit around I work out but havn't noticed much will you acutally loose weight on an elliptical I burn anywhere from 250 in 30 min to 450 in 45 min is that decent for now with taking in about 1200 a day.
 
Only eating 1200 cals a day is not a good idea. As cynic said, you need 2541 cals if all you're doing is laying around. If you're doing more than just laying around, you should be eating even more than this. I don't have an exact number for you, but 1200 cals is about the lowest that anyone can eat, and that's including 5'0 women, so clearly you need more than that.

Actually calories don't count... At least IMHO :eek:

Effect of 6-month calorie restriction on biomarkers of longevity, metabolic adaptation, and oxidative stress in overweight individuals: a randomized controlled trial.Heilbronn LK, de Jonge L, Frisard MI, DeLany JP, Larson-Meyer DE, Rood J, Nguyen T, Martin CK, Volaufova J, Most MM, Greenway FL, Smith SR, Deutsch WA, Williamson DA, Ravussin E; Pennington CALERIE Team.

CONTEXT: Prolonged calorie restriction increases life span in rodents. Whether prolonged calorie restriction affects biomarkers of longevity or markers of oxidative stress, or reduces metabolic rate beyond that expected from reduced metabolic mass, has not been investigated in humans. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of 6 months of calorie restriction, with or without exercise, in overweight, nonobese (body mass index, 25 to <30) men and women. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Randomized controlled trial of healthy, sedentary men and women (N = 48) conducted between March 2002 and August 2004 at a research center in Baton Rouge, La. INTERVENTION: Participants were randomized to 1 of 4 groups for 6 months: control (weight maintenance diet); calorie restriction (25% calorie restriction of baseline energy requirements); calorie restriction with exercise (12.5% calorie restriction plus 12.5% increase in energy expenditure by structured exercise); very low-calorie diet (890 kcal/d until 15% weight reduction, followed by a weight maintenance diet). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Body composition; dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), glucose, and insulin levels; protein carbonyls; DNA damage; 24-hour energy expenditure; and core body temperature. RESULTS: Mean (SEM) weight change at 6 months in the 4 groups was as follows: controls, -1.0% (1.1%); calorie restriction, -10.4% (0.9%); calorie restriction with exercise, -10.0% (0.8%); and very low-calorie diet, -13.9% (0.7%). At 6 months, fasting insulin levels were significantly reduced from baseline in the intervention groups (all P<.01), whereas DHEAS and glucose levels were unchanged. Core body temperature was reduced in the calorie restriction and calorie restriction with exercise groups (both P<.05). After adjustment for changes in body composition, sedentary 24-hour energy expenditure was unchanged in controls, but decreased in the calorie restriction (-135 kcal/d [42 kcal/d]), calorie restriction with exercise (-117 kcal/d [52 kcal/d]), and very low-calorie diet (-125 kcal/d [35 kcal/d]) groups (all P<.008). These "metabolic adaptations" (~ 6% more than expected based on loss of metabolic mass) were statistically different from controls (P<.05). Protein carbonyl concentrations were not changed from baseline to month 6 in any group, whereas DNA damage was also reduced from baseline in all intervention groups (P <.005). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that 2 biomarkers of longevity (fasting insulin level and body temperature) are decreased by prolonged calorie restriction in humans and support the theory that metabolic rate is reduced beyond the level expected from reduced metabolic body mass. Studies of longer duration are required to determine if calorie restriction attenuates the aging process in humans. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00099151.
