How can I drop from 160 lbs to 115 lbs before May??


Question: I'm 14 and I weigh 160 lbs, I'm also 5'4. I want to weigh 115 by May, can you help me out? What should I be eating (please be precise!) and how should I be exercising? Especially to get rid of double chin, fatty thighs, big tummy, flabby arms, shape calves, etc. I don't have alot of time to exercise though- I have to get up at 6 to start school at 7:30, and if I woke up before 6 I'd be really tired. And then after school, I do homework for two hours, then on Wednesdays I babysit. So basically I'm asking when can I exercise, what can I do when I exercise, and what should I eat? Most detailed, helpful answers gets 10 pts...thank you so much! I really want to change my life and anyone who can help me do that I'll be grateful to!
Answers: You already have a rather detailed schedule so add a few more details:

1. Take two minutes upon waking to do one minute of situps and one minute of pushups.

2. Walk, instead of riding in a car whenever possible.

3. Keep a motto running through your head that every little bit counts. Act upon it until it becomes second nature. Soon your body will be trained to DO more and you won't have to talk yourself into doing something that's good for you.

4. When studying, take a two-minute break every 15 minutes to do squats, pushups and/or situps.

5. Always have a bottle of water near you, drink it regularly. (It will keep you more full-feeling.

6. When babysitting play active games with the children or make up dances. Rename it babystanding. It's easy to forget about food when you are having fun and moving around. The body is designed to move and prefers it to being still. Endorphins kick in when you really get moving.

7. After doing your homework try to do something aerobic for at least 30 minutes. If you are not inventive, rent a workout video from the library. Increase the amount of time you work out as needed.

8. Consider adding a 30 minute aerobic workout before your homework as well. This workout could be more intense than the workout after homework.

9. Always Remember you must burn more than you consume. Have absolutely no junk food on hand. You will be forced to eat more nutritious food minus the high calories.

10. Think positive. Visualize exactly what you will look like in your mind's eye. Do not ruminate on all the flab that is currently there. Trust it will be gone. Tell yourself you'll be disappointed if something comes up that prevents you from exercising. Look forward to it. Only think positively.
things you should eat are:
Any vegetables and fruit
Fat-free yogurt
Drink a lot of water and maybe sugar-free juice
Stay away from red meat
Fat-free or none if you can help it butter
No salt
Try eating salad with fat-free or light dressing. ranch dressing probably has the most fat

You shouldnt eat after 7

As for the excersizing part
you should try running before you go to school to get you energize
but if you can't do that try going running after you eat dinner, maybe take your mp3 player or ipod or whatever with you, maybe a friend would like to go running with you
Do crunches. do like 25 then do like 10 push ups 25 more crunches then 10 more push ups, something like that
Also, if you have weights(or you could use cans) do some lifting
do the bicycle excersize
Okay........
when to exercise- while babysitting you can sit on the floor and do sit ups, pushups, run around the house, or dance with the people you are babysitting with to your favorite fast pace music.
eating-im about the same age as you are and weight 125, so maybe you should eat like fruits(strawberries, bananas, apples, pineapple) all good =] && a healthy snack i kno of that i ♥ is = you take a slice of bread and put peanut butter on it, then cut up a banana and distribute the slices then sprinkle a bit of honey on the bread & bananas. its delicious! I live it and im not a big fan of honey so i think you should try it
&& another thing......if u are bored or wannne eat sumthing & u like peanut butter u should dip a clean spoon in the peanut butter and just lick the spoon. its a filler upper =]
Parts of body- arms.....you can play tennis or do push ups or certainly pull ups........legs..you should run, dance, skip around, swim......&& for the stomach you can do sit ups, dance like shakira(it works) and also if you have bleachers at your school you can run up the stairs then when ur at the top walk across to the other set of stairs then run down... thats wa twe do at school and trust me IT WORKS evry part of your body.
