I would like to get to my target weight in maybe a few months or less if possible. Yes I am a newbie at losing weight so I'm not all too sure how long it should take. And btw I'm PO! I can even afford the OR (In "Poor") (I can't go get expensive work out stuff) So all I really have when It comes to excersizing is a pair of 3lb dumbells and a trail outside my house (About 2 miles long). And ovbiously because I'm 15 I can't go many places because I do not have a car or a liscence. So I can't go to the grocery store all the time. So I mostly have to make due with Lowfat/fatfree yogurt, milk, water, vegetables, and ramen (I do have other foods but lets face it if I named every food I have then You all would get bored.) But yea, if someone could maybe help me find a way to lose that weight moderately fast that would be great.
I would cut out the ramen since it has high sodium content which will make you retain water and keep the weight on. You need to find some lean protein sources such as tuna, egg whites, cottage cheese, chicken breast, ground turkey, etc. Portion control and exercise are key. The hardest thing about losing weight is that it doesn't happen immediately. On average you will only lose 1-2 pounds a week. Don't give up if you don't see immediate results. It is a slow, steady process. Good Luck!
