17 yr old, need to lose alot of weight

[Petersworkinout]

ok im 17 and i weigh 290 (lost 9 pounds) and Ive been dieting and working out for about weeks 2 weeks and I know i need to lose about 100 pounds.

I'm 38% body fat, 6'1, large build

I dont really have a routine for working out, which i need to .
I'm following a push up routine and then I lift weights

I have a membership to a very nice gym also

I need to develop a work out routine.

as far as diet is concerned, I'm almost exclusively drinking water now, trying to drink around 12 glasses a day (atleast

The problem I am having with diet is because of school i do not have time for breakfast, if I do its egg whites on 1 piece toast
6am wake up
shower, dress,......(two bothers who have to get ready also)
6:45 time to leave

school lunches are horrid so I end up not eating until 2:45
(I think I'm going to start bring deli sandwiches or something)

1-2 cups of water at school

atm: at 2:45 when i get home I try and eat something health, for example
egg whites on toast and maybe peanut butter on celery an hour later (2+ cups of water)

I try not to eat anything until 6:30 but I may have another celery stick or some nuts (2-4 cups of water, a glass of milk If i feel like one)


note: I will eat anything really but i would like to avoid oatmeal because i cant eat it without alot of sugar.. I love nuts, any nuts! mmm nuts lol

chicken turkey,beef, pork, white fish, any veggies, any fruits

so any suggestions for changes are welcomed

Post diet. Meal times, meal types, as a few Protein sources is a bit vague.

- you need a training routine so drop the push up program and opt for The Waterbury Method by Chad Waterbury (search)
- get up earlier, no excuses for not having breaky...you HAVE to have it to lose wt
- definately take lunch with you if you need to making the night before
- you should have 1cp of water every hr at the very least
- eat if you're hungry, don't wait...frequent medium sized meals eill take care of this
- nuts are good...oatmeal is good just limit the sugar is all

meal 1 as soon as you get up - fruit, oatmeal
2 - fruit, protein
3 - snadwitch with lots of meat and salad with added veg
4 - protein, veg, salad
5 - protein, veg, salad
6 - protein, veg, salad

i strongly advise a protein shake and either pasta, rice or bread after training too

thanks alot, thats the kind of diet i had in mind

one question i had though is should i skip snacks if im not hungry?

eat when your hungry but at your age you should always be hungry so 6 meals shouldn't be a problem
