how to lose weight

Hi, I am a 10 year old girl and really need and want to lose some weight.  I would love to lose about 30 lbs.  I've tried everything, and nothing seems to work.  Does anyone know of anything that could help me lose some weight?  Thanks!!

I'm sorry,  I meant 19 years old, not 10.

Oh my goodness! When I first read this I was so upset that a ten year old girl wanted to lose 30 pounds :( Anyway, I'm in the exact same boat as you! I'm 19 and want to lose 30 pounds. Unfortunately, I don't have any great advice for you. I'm just try to eat between 1200 and 1600 calories a day and exercise 30 minutes of cardio 4 times a week. Writing down everything I eat in a log really helps because it shows me how many calories are in something so I know if I'm going to over eat or not. Hopefully, you find something that works for you! Wish you all the best!

I am along the same line as you guys. I am 21 and i want to lose 15 more pounds. The first thing i did was completley STOP any and all caffeine intake, cokes, teas, you name it and i dont drink it. It is hard at first but after you get use to it you feel so much better. All i drink is water, gatorade and the occasional capri sun. I have dropped 12 pounds in the past two weeks, mainly from that. I do watch what i eat too, if am craving sweets i eat some fruit or yogurt. Also the amount of food you usually eat half the portion, dont starve yourself but once you start eating less then your stomach will get use to it and feel alot more full.  And on excersise, to be honest i really dont, i dont have the time. If i do i go for a walk or jog. Good luck and hope this helped.
