Q. I'm starting my weight loss plan and of course, I would like to know how much weight did I lose after 2 weeks and how my body changed. But I don't know what to measure(legs and arms probably) except my weight. I heard that you need to measure your neck too. Is this true and If it is, why? And when do I need to measure myself? 1 week, 2 weeks, ...? And is there anything else I need to know about measuring?
A. First, you should measure whichever measurements are important to you. If you're interested in how your arms or legs change, measure them. Most measure their neck, especially in the beginning, because it is likely that's the first place fat will come off, so you'll see results more quickly in that area.
There are 3 measurements that are correlated with disease risk regarding body fat: BMI, waist circumference, and body fat %.
BMI should be between 18-29. You can calculate that here http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
Waist circumference measured at the belly button should be below 36 for males and 32 for females.
Body fat % should be below 28% for females and below 18% for males.
You should be as consistent as possible when taking your weight measurement. Try to weigh first thing in the morning with no clothes, or the same clothes every time, after going to the bathroom but before eating.

really good weight loss plan for a 15 year old male?
Q. I need a good weight loss plan, I need the maximum calories i can intake and a good work out plan. I'm able to do a hard workout schdule but it must not do anything relation to a gym. Only the out doors or in my very own home.
A. The first step to defeating your weight problem is to defeat laziness. Figure it out yourself. After all, I don't know your limitations, weight, ect.
How does this weight loss plan stack up?
Q. Ok so I want to lose weight, plain and simple. I've done the research and I know what to do so thus, I have come up with my own weight loss plan and would like some opinions on it. Here it is:
First off, I am an 18 year old male, about 5'8" and roughly 190 lbs. I have lowered my daily calorie intake to roughly 1500 with a diet consisting mainly of salads, fruits, grilled chicken with small healthy snacks dispersed throughout the day. I would only drink water and green tea. So all in all, I would be eating every four or so hours (to keep the metabolism going).
I would also be working out every day for about an hour performing about 30 mins of eliptical aerobics and about 30 mins of a full body workout. (My goal here is to tone, not really body build.)
My only concern with my plan is the daily calorie intake. Is it too low? I figured that 1500 from food minus about 500 from working out would only give me a net of 1000, roughly. My goal is to get to 170 lbs, at least, in two months.
But the weird thing is, even though the calorie in take is pretty low, I don't feel as hungry as I thought I would be...
But ok. If I increase the daily calorie intake to 2000, roughly, would I still be losing weight and toning my body fairly well? I would like to lose at least TWO pounds a week.

A. That is too low, try at least 1900, considering your weight. Also, drop the green tea, at least too often. Teas are diuretic and will not help with the eight glasses of water, you will need to increase your water consumption for each glass of tea you drink. Doesn't sound like much, but that much water is very hard to drink everyday.
