For breakfast I have cereal and milk. For lunch I have a light and fit yogurt which is 70 calories, an apple, and celery. For dinner I have what ever my parents are fixing which is normally chicken some kind of rice or pasta and a vegetable. I try to eat a lot of vegetables. Then every day I try to walk 2 miles and then I do 400 sit-ups all different kinds. I do...20 regular, 20 to the right, 20 to the left, 20 regular, 10 to the left, 10 to the right, 10 regular, 20 legs up, 20 legs up left, 20 legs up right, 20 legs up, 10 regular. and then i repeat it. Then I use 10 lb dumbells and do different kinds of arm strength training and then i strech. does this sound ok? and if anyone has any other ideas.

Reply from Jocelyn, Age 17 - 04/15/09 - IP#: 96.51.84.xxx eat more for lunch! maybe take a sandwich or a wrap. i like taking a wrap with a whole wheat tortilla, mustard, lettuce, a little cheese, and any other vegetables you want (such as peppers, grated carrots and celery, sprouts, broccoli. I personally like red peppers the best). It is super yummy, and includes tons of vegetables! Or you can try taking a sandwich with chicken, turkey, or ham and cheese and lettuce on whole wheat bread. If you take a sandwich or wrap, yogurt, apple, and celery, that is a good lunch!
Reply from DancingDamsel, Age 13 - 04/14/09 - IP#: 65.10.128.xxx I think you should ease up on the abs. Doing so much does not necessarily increase how much fat you'll lose from that area. I would suggest eating a bit more for lunch, as well. Eggs (hard-boiled w/o yolk or scrambled w/o yolk), chicken, tuna, tofu, etc.; you need protein! Other than that, I would say you're doing well! Also, lower the weights you are doing. Here's why: the more weight you use and the less reps you do builds muscle. You want to tone, don't you? I would say: do 15 reps of everything w/ some 5 lbs, 12 reps w/ some 8 lb, and 10 reps w/ some 10 lb. Build up. Do one set w/ the 5s and then another set with the 8s and then a last set 10s. Good luck!
