Trying to lose weight but no progress?

I'm a 17 year old girl. I'm 5'2'' and I weigh 121 lbs. About a week ago I changed my diet and daily routine completely. I haven't been counting calories, but I'm drinking nothing but water and eating very healthy things (no fast food, sweets, etc). I've also been running at least a mile every day and doing crunches, pushups, and jumping jacks every night. Yet I still haven't lost any weight? I might have even gained a little. Could this be water weight from drinking so much water?

How to Be Lazy and Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise. Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help. The natural sugars in fruits are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content. Fruits are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruits and vegetables are metabolism boosting foods and that helps for weight loss.

• If you want to lose weight and keep it off you need to target the areas on your body that are composed mostly of fat.. Also eat many times a day this boosts your metabolism, five times a day, small meals, and snacks. Your 4th should be dinner. Eat healthy, you need some good carbs, protein, whole grains etc.
• I'm just like you bro! I'm gonna join the Air Force so I have to gain weight too. Have you heard of vital Russian bear 5000. It's a weight gainer! I went from 125 to 127 in a week. Also instead of water try protein or weight gainer shakes with whole fat milk. Then have in between snakes. For me I snack on trail mix. And about the weight gainer shakes u really have to be committed. Drinking them at first will make you hella full which is good. Also eat before you sleep. Also eating meat is improtant. This is pretty much what I've been doing lately and hope it helps with you.

should i join the track team in my freshman year?

So im going to be a freshman in about a month. I was thinking of joining the track team. I have never done track though. However, i am pretty fit since i go to the gym and i use the stepper and lift weights. However, i should start practicing running. I'm pretty tall and could run pretty fast but im not sure if i can run long distances that well. I really would like to join track but im a little nervous because i dont want to cause the track team to lose anything. Im afraid they'll get mad at me or something. (i might be just paranoid haha) because im not a super slow runner or anything. But should i join the track team?

How to Lose Gained Weight After Bariatric Surgery

Recommended Answer:

You sound like the perfect candidate to try track! Even if you weren't in shape I'd recommend you do track, because they will get you in shape. There are a lot of events in track, and if you don't like long distances, then you can try short distance sprints, which include 100, 200 and 400 meters. And those are just the sprints. There are also hurdles, jumps, pole vaulting and field events. However, track is a spring season sport. In the fall you could try cross country, which will definitely get you in shape for track. As for your team-mates getting mad at you, don't worry about that. Running sports aren't like other team sports. Whatever you do will only affect yourself, unless you end up placing (finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd) in your race—which is very helpful, of course—whatever you do won't affect the team. Besides, I've found that runners have been some of the nicest people I have ever met! Good luck, and you should definitely go for it!:)

Other Answers:

• There are tons of events you can do in track. If you're not a long distance runner, then you can be a sprinter. They have the 100 which is the short distance sprint. 400, which is running one lap around the track. The mile which is 4 laps around a track and so on. They shock put, which is throwing a heavy ball. They have hurdling, also that event which you sprint and jump as far as you can and the one with the most jumping distances win. For the life of me I can't remember what its called, but yea those are all the events you can do in track. There are some more as well, not just that.
