Reply from Sara, Age 12 - 07/27/13 - IP#: 98.150.184.xxx Well maybe you should start off with a smaller goal. Like my health teacher told my class it is healthy to lose maximum 2 pounds a week. So set a goal like in 2 weeks I want to lose 3 or 4 pounds. To do this, when you are eating, chew 25 times then swallow. It will take longer to eat because you are thinking about it. After each swallow take a sip or two of water. Try to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Make yourself a schedule. That way you can see whether you have time to work out or not. Like instead of watching an extra hour of t.v. you could be working out. Also choose a motivation. It helps you stick to your plan. If you feel bored, play a game like Just Dance, take your dog for a walk, or call up some friends to go to the pool. Just remember exercising can be fun and always look on the bright side.
