Ht. 5'3, Wt. C:130?? G:120 - Does anyone know anything about how good or BAD diet sodas are for you?? It seems like everyone trying to lose weight that I know or just trying not to gain weight is drinking tons of diet soda. I persanaly can only have it once every week because it bloats me to where I look like a pumpkin. Plus I'm not to much for the taste. I never was a huge soda person incept for when I would visit my dad. I'm only asking this because I'm going camping this weekend with my dad and he asked what type soda I wanted. I told him water for me and my friend likes Sprite or Diet Pepsi. He asked what I would drink and I said Diet Pepsi but I don't want any. So I probably will only drink it if he didn't get water. But I am bringing water for myself anyways. I also said cereal for breakfast and apples for snacks. I plan on only eating half of his bbQ steak. Any other advice for a unawhere dad and camping with a skinny friend that can eat anything??

Ht. 5'0'', Wt. 150 - I just found this great sight that tells you how many lesss calories to eat to lose weight, including how much you burn exercising: How many calories do people need to eat?
That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? You’re going to hate me when I say that it depends. There are three factors involved:Your weight loss goals, your Basal Metabolic Rate (the number of calories your body burns via normal, everyday functions), and how much exercise you get. First, calculate your BMR. Next, consider how much activity you get. Add the calories you burn through activity and exercise for one day to your BMR. This is your baseline for daily calorie needs. To lose 1 pound per week (if that’s your goal), you’d simply eat 500 calories less than this number each day. Whatever your baseline is, more than...

To lose 1 pound per week (if that’s your goal), you’d simply eat 500 calories less than this number each day. Whatever your baseline is, more than 1,000 calories per day below that (resulting in 2 pounds lost per week) is not a good idea. Your body needs enough nutrition and energy to deal with whatever exercise level you choose. At bare minimum, no matter what, I strongly urge people to not drop below 1,200 calories daily. Any lower than that and starvation mode - or worse - will almost always kick in.
---- So to lose 1 lb a week for me, I have to eat 1082 calories a day. To lose 2lbs, 582...although I didn't factor in about how much a I burn each day, so add 300 to both those numbers. Everyones starvation mode is different based on age, height, weight, etc. The BMR calculator sight is : http://sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=387
Hope this helps some people! (view less)

Ht. 5'0'', Wt. 150 - How'd I do today? Breakfast: Kix with 1/2 cup of skim milk (150), Lunch: Lean pocket (280) grapes (40) and carrots with 1 tbsp french onion dip (50). Plus a propel during the day (25). Dinner: 1 flatbread (100), 17 twizzler bites (130) 6 bagel chips (130) and 1 1/2 cup of chicken noodle soup (150), making my total 1055. I know that is less than 1200 but I am sooo full right now, and throughout the day I was satisfied? I think my stomach may feel a little sick because I haven't had any junk food at all this week so I treated myself to some twizzlers because I was way under calories. ?? responses ?? Oh and for physical activity I did some toning for about a half hour, crunches, lunges, squats, etc. and played tennis for 45 minutes and just hit the volleyball around for 15. ??

Ht. 5'9, Wt. who knows - Okay so i work at subway...... and i was looking at the labels and such we have back there... the best sandwhiches for you are obviously the turkey, ham, and veggie. The tuna has a TON of regular mayo which is 110 calories per tbl spoon. and when you ask for mayo on your sandwhich, its actually light mayo, but the customers cant tell the difference, but still thats good!
and so yeah i just thought id help out since subway is a hott spot for dieters!

Ht. 5'0'', Wt. 150 - I just found a great way to get rid of love handles, thanks to toneteen.com: Side Crunch
1. Lay on the floor as if you were doing regular crunches. Starting at your waist, turn your legs completely to the left side. Place your hands behind your head for support.
2. Lift your head up slightly off the ground as if you were doing a regular crunch.
3. Lower your head back down so it almost touches the ground. After desired number of reps is achieved, repeat exercise on other side.
Tip: To avoid bending your neck forward and straining it, try keeping your eyes on the ceiling while doing the crunches.

Ht. 5'0'', Wt. 150 - OHh and a really good sight to go to is MyPyramidTracker.com...you create a user name and then it asks you if you want to maintain your weight or gradually loose weight, and you enter your current weight, height, etc. and it will tell you how many calories to eat a day. It also lets you input all the food you have eaten today, along with your physical activity. It tells you how many ounces of meat, carbs, fruit, vegis, etc that you can have. It limited me to 125 calories of junk, so I think that is a good goal. It might be of help to some of you who can't follow a strict plan, because it is letting me eat 1600 calories a day and still loose weight, as long as most of those 1600 aren't junk! Good Luck!
