Ht. 5'4, Wt. Too much - I am more than 30 pounds overweight and my goal is to be toned enough to play tennis next spring. This is what I am doing so far for excersize: 100 crunches, 30 minutes on 8.0 incline on treadmill, 100 squats with handweights, and 20 bicep curls on each arm with 16 pound weights. For eating I am cutting back to as little saturated fat as possible so for breakfast I eat fruit and plain oatmeal with a small glass of orange juice. For lunch I eat a homemade fruit salad with raisins, grapes, blueberries, and bananas, and for dinner I will eat some sort of canned veggie, a small glass of milk, and a piece of wheat bread with 2 scrambled egg whites on it. On occasion, when we remember to buy it, I will eat sushi for dinner with rice and seaweed...and fresh fish. YUM! Anywho, I have been doing this for about a week now and I have had a few days where I was weak and ate a cookie...or two, but I am dedicated to do this and the food is good enough that I think I can continue. Does anyone else have any ideas?

you shoudl get in at least 60g protien daily to protect your muscles from being broken down during weight loss.

You can always treat yourself with a cookie or 2 so don't feel guilty! as long as you burn the calories off afterwards it's all good.
GOOD LUCK!:)

For desert treat yourself to fat free popsicles (10 calories) or ten calorie jello cups! Just substitute them with those cookies and your good to go! Good luck, and you can do it! :D
