my sister is 5"1 or 5"2 and she weighs 130 lbs...?
Question:
Answers:
Don't be lazy, take the stairs, go out and play! Serious! Go play some soccer! Go out and bring a few carrot sticks. You don't lose weight with diet. Diet is only about 15% of your excersize. The keyword is moderation. Don't forget 8-9 hours of sleep.

I know, I know.......CRASH DIETING is the best.
umm play ddr, drink more water, don't eat soo much fatty foods, stay away from anything atkins, work out.
200 sit ups a day, cut out all carbs, eat fruits and veggies, and she should also take half-hour joggs 5 times a week
also drink lots of water! 1 glass before each meal curves your appetite so you eat less
Hey there, she isn't too overweight, only about 10 pounds or so. Shouldn't take long to lose. Just tell her to up her exercise, and drink more water and less soda which makes you hungry. Also try to avoid the heavy carbs and eat more protein (meat). Tell her good luck!!
Overweight? That is quite Perfect weight.
1) calorie count
2) routine excercise
3) healthy foods...veggies most esp fiber rich food
4) tea..alot of it for cleansing
5) eating discipline
all options are applicable, just figure out what suits your sister best
Try running, it burns the most calories. Don't get discouraged if it is difficult at first. Just try again, her body will get used to it fast. Think about an easy way to cut calories - don't eat candy bars, or drink regular sodas. Only eat until you are full, then stop.
this weight loss programs on this article is really good and some good exercise programs as well
Lots of water, good food, and physical exercise, and stuff like diet soda and Atkins bars or anything with fake sugar, could make her hold water, and make her muscles ache, also wheat (flour) could make her hold water too, and water weight is usually at least 5 pounds, so she may loss 5 pounds in 3 days.....
Weight Watchers is a very healthy way to loose weight and become more aware of nutrition and diet. The idea is not only to loose a few pounds, but to also develop healthy eating habits so you have a healthy weight for a lifetime.
The reason I like weight watchers is because you don't have to deny yourself anything. You can still enjoy things like mashed potatoes or chocolate - but you can balance those foods with healthy things like carrots and salads and stuff.
Any method for losing weight involves eating less and exercising more. The trick is to find a method that works for you and that teaches you healthy habits.
Dont eat junk food, drink a lot of water, run up and down the stairs. (trust me, it burns more calories than running) and walk a couple of miles.
it's very easy actually... a lb a week? some people try pills, but i think that's stupid. Try paying attention to the calories and fat percentage on the back of a product, and if ur in a rush....make a sandwich instead of going to McDonald's cause i just found out a salad drenched in dressing has more calories than a Big Mac.
iF YOU HAVE TIME:
try riding your bike 2 days out of a week or spend some time in the pool. It's amazing how many calories from fat you burn. Also if you dance in the mirror for an hour you burn up to 300 calories. Dieting is just have of it. Eat slower so ur stomach can register to your brain it's full...most of the time we eat to fast for that to happen. Excersising without knowing it is the best. Get off the couch! xD
Good advice from the doctor! The idea is to make 2 changes. One - exercise - start doing a little more walking, biking, swimming, something aerobic. A little more, a little more often. Two - diet - cut way back on foods that have sugar, fat and starch. That leaves lots and lots of wonderful, healthy foods. Also cut back on serving size a little. None of this is radical, but you HAVE to make the changes or nothing different will result. Stand on the scales every week and record what it says. More calories expended, fewer calories taken in....losing a pound a week should be easy. Even better, stay trim all year long! Just maintain the new levels of exercise and eat healthy, don't go back to the old patterns. Good luck to your sister!
Not according to her BMI chart she's not=P
She's considered normal (weight) in proportion for her height. I understand your concern but really there's nothing to be alarmed 'bout here.
If you're still worried, just have her keep an exercise routine which the both of you can enjoy. Eat regular but smaller meals NO skipping!
Oh, yeah drink plenty of water & get plenty of rest!
DDR seriously works...it is really fun too.
I'm not sure this is actually overweight, although it sounds like she is heading that way (depends on her age), so she needs to start practicing healthy eating habits and getting plenty of exercise. I would suggest maybe joining an aerobics class together or jogging, something you can do with her, to encourage her to be more active. Also with regards to the dieting, I don't know how old she is, but I would strongly advise against going under 1500 calories per day as adolescence is a very crucial time for growth and development and she needs to get a reasonable amount of calories so this can take place.
Take care : )

Before you start a diet and exercise program read the following articles:
http://teenadvice.about.com/cs/bodyimage/bb/teendieting.htm
http://www.webmd.com/content/article/101/106227.htm
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.
