### Human:\ni'm trying to lose weight i'm 16 male 247lbs what are some good diet plans and exercises that could help me lose 47lbs? . i'm wanting to lose 47lbs before i'm 17 so that i can join the national guard or the army.\n\n### Assistant: defiantly start out slow with the exercise you don't want to hurt yourself. and this goes for everyone regardless of size that is just starting to work out. take a fat burner it will boost your weight loss with the exercise. cut down on carbs and try to eat at least 3 well proportioned meals or 6 small meals a day. do not starve your self! this in the long run will make you gain twice as much as you loose. good luck!
