how can I lose 17 pounds in 3 weeks?

Question:

Iam 12 years old and want to lose 17 pounds because school is getting close and i want to lose weight. I walk around and ride my bike almost everyday and drink milk and water. I do sit-up like 50 times! So thanks!

Answers:
when you find out tell me! but you might get skinnier and still not lose weight, because muscle weighs more than fat. So just worry about being healthy instead of thin!!!

Other Answers:
Drink Oatmeal only.

You cannot not lose 17 pounds (safely) in 3 weeks. Just do the best you can!! Have a blessed day!!

losing 17 pounds in three weeks can be dangerous... rather take it slow... you're only 12... more than enough time ahead of you to stress yourself out about aesthetics

I don't think that losing exactly 17 pounds is even possible to do healthfully (you're 12, you don't want to damage your body) or even a good idea. How did you come up with the answer of 17? It's just a number and means nothing.

If you are overweight, and want to lose some, then it sounds as though you are on the right track - you're going for walks and bike riding. 50 sit ups is too many - do 10, rest for at least one minute, do 10 more, and then you're done. Do them slowly, and your muscles will become stronger. Doing 50 isn't going to result in a flatter tummy.

Again, only if you are overweight, it would be a good idea to talk to a doctor or a dietician about your weight, so you can get some good ideas on healthy foods to remain healthy and fit, which is far more important than what the scale says.

It's sad to see a 12-year-old obsessed with body image. Remember, kid, you're still growing and developing. Even if you're a little pudgy now, you could turn rock solid with the right exercise and activity.
The big thing is to stay the hell away from sugar. That doesn't mean swap it for that sugar-substitute crap that's probably going to cause cancer worldwide. Just err toward not eating any sugar at all.
That's partly because sugar is a carbohydrate, and carbs get stored as fat.
But at your age, overall, I'd say just stay active. Go out for a sport. Don't worry if you're not athletic or don't like the jocks. Sports at your level are (or at least SHOULD be) about learning the game anyway. And as long as you're relaxed and cool with people, equally willing to laugh at yourself and jab good-naturedly at people you may not even like, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to get along with people.

Start by setting little goals for you to achieve. If you just focus on the 17 pounds you might not achieve it. For example set a goal of 7 pounds this week, 4 pouns next week, and 6 pounds the week after. Unless you do some strenious excersise and diet very well you are not going to achieve that though. I am not into kids dieting but I know most will do it anyways, so here are a few tips ( but consult a physician before doing anything) instead of walking try sprinting for as far as you can, then walk that distance, then sprint again. It will keep the heartrate up and metabolism in overtime. Also it is not how long you work out, rather how you work out. Another good workout, if you have access to a stationary bycycle, is to slowly increase the resistance every other time you work out. Now as far as working out, do cardio's every other day(running,bicycling), on the other days work on your ab's, legs and the such. You will not gain a whole lot if you constantly work cardios everyday. And extremely important to watch what you eat.Read labels do some research to find out if it is good for you. Good luck.

Hi
Good for you ,but try this programme helped me so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx
