I’m 6′0 male and about 255lbs at 16 years old. The last time I took a BMI test said I had about 47% body fat. My height actually helped me so I’m not really wide. I rarely eat junk food. I cook nearly everyday. My family is Fil-Am, so we eat a lot of rice. I’m guessing the oily foods we cook and rice we eat are the main source of my problem, besides my lack of excercise? Haha! Anyways, a lot of fat is around my stomach, thighs, and arm areas. There isn’t a set date or time that I have to lose the weight but I wish to accomplish it by July or even August 2010. The earlier, the better. I’m willing and committed to using any schedule that will help me accomplish my weightloss goals. These are my goals:

1. Lose approximately 50lbs (or even more! I’d deeply appreciate it)
2. Lower my BMI/body fat to 23%
3. Maintain a ‘normal’ and proper weight for my height.

Why the specific BMI? I’m looking forward in getting a commission in the US Navy. Academically, I can easily get in. Physically, I would be denied or be medically discharged in a snap. I know from 47% to 23% is A LOT of work but like I said, I’m really willing to lose this weight.

If the workout plan that any of you suggest requires an adjustment in my eating habits, then I’m willing to change it. I have weights and a treadmill inside my home, so any workouts including those are a big help to me. I am willing to sacrifice many “good-eats” for the weight loss. I really want this commission and I really want to lose this weight. I do not believe in diet pills. My apologies if that was a suggestion but I’m not interested in pills. I’m looking forward in losing the weight myself, not with a gym. Other than that, any suggestions and plans would be deeply appreciated!

basically, I’m 17, i’m quite short, and i can’t help but eat a lot of junk food. I try to stop but i need some sort of plan. If anyone can help me and offer a days or weeks worth of diet and excercise plan, i’d much appreciate it Thanks
