[QUOTE=gamefreek76;26396528]Slow metabolism?
I'm the exact opposite.
I eat whatever I want, whenever I want and I only ever lose weight.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't get into the habit though because it'll go away as an adult and all the sudden you'll be a total fatass.
Anyways, I've never seen a fat kid who actually put a lot of effort and couldn't get skinny so don't let people say that because of your genetics, you will always be fat. Some people just have to try harder and put a bit more effort than others. I know a previously huge guy whos whole family was fat but he went on a VERY strict diet and excercised constantly over the summer and came back to school perfectly in shape(he has so much loose skin though that if he holds his bare arms up, you'd think he could fly)
So apparently, to lose 2lbs a week, you need to loose 7000 calories a week, more than you consume, what the hell does that mean? If I consume 10500 calories a week, I have to BURN 17500? What the fuck?
That's 2500 calories burnt a day? That's not even possible.

2500 calories burnt a day is nothing.

What the fuck? Am I missing something here?

find our your BMR
then do enough exercise to get it up to your needs.
You have a BMR of 1841.8.?
So thats how many calories I burn in a day by doing jack shit? SO if I burned 660 calories from working out in a day, i would have burnt 2500? Why was I not of informed of this?
That means you burn 1848 calories sitting on your ass every day. Eat 300 calories below that and exercise.

Confidence has just been boosted.
[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;26396465]Let me just starting off mentioning my eating habits.
Today I ate
Mini-wheat(Small kind, usually I eat corn bran) with some milk for breakfast
Then 3 hours later, I have a cheese and ham sandwich, only 1 slice of ham per half.
an apple, and about 1/6 bag of crackers.
And a Banana.
Then at dinner, I have some rice with some stir fried.
This is basically what an average intake of food is for me, that's IT!
Yet my BMI is 28!!! I'm one point away from being obese! WHAT THE FUCK?
And I keep gaining, I eat a lot of junk in the summer, but I haven't since eaten like that, and my weight just keeps climbing up higher and higher!
I do 80 minutes of phys ed a day as well, excluding weekends.
What the fuck is wrong with me? This shit doesn't happen.
Not to mention, my family is not well off, we can't afford all this extra junk food, we don't have any, but my weight is still [b]SKYROCKETING[/b]
And I don't want to keep this, I want to loose the weight.[/QUOTE]
Can't be assed dredging through all these pages I'm not sure if it has been said before but that is a fucking awful diet.'
Stop eating white bread/rice unless diabetes is a goal of yours. Eat whole grain wheat, its better for you. Apples and bananas aren't even that good for you, try eating a salad or something.
Crackers are pretty shit. Too much salt. Eat whole grain
Sucks to be you. And stop doing pussy physical ed, you're not a paraplegic. Start running or at least jogging. Then start doing sit ups/and push ups. Buy a 30 dollar pull up bar while you are at it. You can lose weight and gain muscle by doing just sit ups/push ups/pull ups/
Don't procrastinate, don't say "I'll get in shape one day" do it now.
ITS YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE.

Just signed up at a local gym.
nobody realizes that you burn calories nonstop all day, you use them to stay alive, they're not just some nuisance associated with fatness
[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;26441039]Just signed up at a local gym.[/QUOTE]
Do something like Starting Strength only throw in a few more things into the routine each day. (SS will have you just doing squats, deadlifts, and benchpress. you NEED these, they are important-as-fuck compound lifts.)
I'd suggest adding some things in like 3 sets of pull-ups until fail, etc. Maybe 5 minutes of cardio pre-workout to get the blood flowing, and then 5 minutes of cardio post-workout. Remember to stretch. I highly advise against only doing cardio stuff, but I'm still pretty new to this stuff too so If I were you I'd research into this stuff further than Facepunch.

Make sure you look a lot into proper lifting technique and stuff too. Form>Weight by far.
I would just throw this in, don't expect to lose 2lbs a week every week. Most people have a really successful first 2 weeks then it drops of for another 2-3 weeks before evening out. A lot of people give up, in those 2-3 weeks. Don't.
But I'm going to take a different approach to this, if you're not happy with you, don't expect losing weight to be a sudden magic pill that will make you everything you want to be. I'm 6'3" and like... 290lbs or around that. But I am thick set. I have no rolls, just 1 chin like everyone else, just a beer gut. Hell I could lose some weight, but I also realised that I was more than my weight as my person. And low and behold I can dress up, put on a nice hat and pull the sweetest piece of ass in the club if I choose to. Consider for a moment. Are you losing weight for yourself, or for other people?

Also. Fuck the BMI. It's such a sack of shit.
