Q: im 16 male 5ft 5 i weigh 200lbs i need to get to 140lbs by june 12th please help me i wanna be able to go swimming in front of other people for once

A: It's not at all a good idea to try to lose 60 pounds in less than a year at your age, even if you're overweight. Dramatic weight loss like that will jeopardize your growth and you might stay at 5ft 5 when you could've grown taller otherwise. So I don't recommend trying to follow through with that plan. You could lose maybe 20 pounds in 1 year safely at your age and that along with a good diet and exercise plan to burn fat and build muscle and, quite possibly, a couple of inches of growth can get you looking pretty good in 1 year.

To start, read and thoroughly familiarize yourself with the principles of Nutrition and Weight Training. Then fill out Mike's Fitness Guide to get a complete diet and exercise prescription. Then redo the sample diet it gives to make it fit your life. Then stick to the diet and exercise for a year :) Remember to not lose weight too fast and if you're finding yourself losing more than 2 pounds per month, increase the calories in your diet until weight loss slows down. Good luck!
