Ht. 5ft. 5in., Wt. 169.2lbs - ALYSA: Okay doll, there's no magic secret to my success! I don't take pills, follow some whack diet, or discourage food groups. I simply focus on what my body needs to stay healthy at this age. That means following the food pryamid and eating lots of healthy food. This makes me feel strong, confident and healthy that I'm using the earth's great gift of food with respect and purpose-to fuel my body-not to stuff my face! I also watch my portion sizes. Don't go super-crazy(what you eat is a lot mroe important than how much). The sample meal paln leater on will show you what I mean. Making afew simple switches also helps. 2% milk or lower, lowfast cheese, lowfat sour cream, Smart Balance buttery spread instead of butter or olive oil, whole wheat and/or whole grain bread, stuff like that.
