I eat at least 1200 calories a day and exercise 7 days a week. I think its because I over exercise. I might be too obsessed with it. I have so much energy and im so active. I get so hyper so i lose a lot of weight cause I exercise all the time. This week I lost 4 pounds. Is that too much? I heard were only suppose to lose 2 pounds a week. My mom said when I get to 160 she is going to buy me an awesome skateboard! The skateboard I want is 159 dollars and she promised me she will buy it for me when I get to 160! I am so motivated right now. I cant wait to get there!!
Reply from sk8ergirl, Age 16 - 02/17/08 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx I have no idea where I get the motivation. I just LOVE to exercise. I am extremely hyper and active so I guess thats why I exercise a lot. Whenever I want to go to the fridge to eat I exercise instead until its time to eat my lunch or dinner. Somehow I just keep myself motivated! :)

Reply from Lucee, Age 16 - 02/17/08 - IP#: 84.13.87.xxx I dont think there is anything wrong with losing 4lbs a week but there is evidence to suggest that if you lose weight really quickly you're more likely to regain it after reaching your target. As you have quite a bit to lose you could afford to up your calories a bit to slow down your weight loss maybe to 2lbs per week and then as you get to a lower weight and your weight loss begins to slow down you could lower your cals back down to 1200 so you dont reach a plateau.
