Reply from Vegas, Age 14 - 12/06/06 - IP#: 71.134.56.xxx Yeah, it's definetly realistic! But first you have to get a few other things in shape ;) Firstly, try getting more sleep. It's healthy to get 6-8 hours of sleep a day, depending on your schedule, and it'll give you more energy during the day. That also plays into weight loss because if you're tired you tend to drink energy drinks or coffee, and both of which are bad for you. And if you do drink coffee, try quitting or minimizing it to a cup a day. And yes, that means no whipped cream or chocolate sprinkles ;) But if you absolutely cannot live without that you could always treat yourself to a nice coffee every Sunday/Saturday as your "special treat" - that's what I do with pizza ;) After that I'd suggest buying lots of healthy things and throwing stuff like chips, sodas, and junk food away. Foods that I like are fruits (grapes, kiwis, pears, strawberries), vegetables (carrots, broccli, asparagus), salad (get a dark green salad, because iceberg lettuce has NO nutritional value. And if you want to get even more in fit buy spinach salad - it's amazingly healthy. And for a salad dressing buy something like a Vinegarette or a low fat ranch/blue cheese), munchies (lightly/no salt mixed nuts [ALMONDS!!], reduced fat ritz), and other healthy things (cottage cheese, skim milk). Remember to keep water with you at all times. Personally I take two water bottles with me to school everyday and almost always finish them. Also, try eating your food throughout the day, instead of three set meals. It keeps your metabolism running and you're less likely to overstuff youself. Good luck & hope I helped! :]
