Ht. 5'3", Wt. 142 - ok so my biggest that keeps me from losing weight I think is snacking when I get home from school and not being able to exercise everyday. When I get home from school I am so hungry for somereason. I usually have a sandwich, 1 cup of pasta, or a yogurt and half a grapefruit or apple for lunch. It is so hard to get to the gym everday too. I can't get a ride right from school and it is so busy between 5-6 oclock you can't even get a treadmill or an elpitical. But between 6-8 when there is like nobody there it is the time I am getting so tired and am ready to sleep or I have a report due the next day or I'm babysitting, or my mom has a meeting and my dad works nights so I can't get a ride. I don't know what to do!

I'm out.

Go running around the block or around your yard. You can run anywhere. You can dance anywhere. You can pick up a cheap workout tape and do it somewhere. There's always somehow to exercise so that's really not an excuse. You'll find a way. About eating when you get home, that's my problem too. What you need to do is figure out what you're really craving. When I come home I crave something salty so I usually pop up some low calorie pop corn or have a few pretzel rods and little bit of low fat cheese. If you crave something sweet have a hundred calorie pack, low calorie ice cream, or piece of fruit waiting for you at home. Sometimes what I like to do is have a really lite lunch (like a cup of soup) and then come home and cook up some spaghetti. So I'm getting that meal but I'm not really blowing it because its kind of like my lunch just a little later. So you can beat those after school cravings. Good Luck!
