From melanie, Age 16 - 05/30/10 - IP#: 207.138.205.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'2", Start: 135 lb, Today: 150 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 125 lb - so it always happens to me that over the summer i lose like twenty pounds because all i do is work out. but then the school year starts and i get stressed and i eat. and then the fall swim team season ends and i no longer get exercise, but i kepp eating like i would when i work out (4,000+ calories a day) and then i start putting weight back on. i hate it. so i was looking forward to this summer thinking that i will lose weight again, but i don't think i can do it anymore. im sick of exercising and i love dessert. im trying to make an effort to be better but i kepp slipping up. does anyone have any advice on staying motivated, or any fun exercises i could use to switch up my routine of swim, run, bike, weight lift?
Reply from Megan, Age 16 - 06/02/10 - IP#: 72.219.1.xxx I can completely relate. Its the foood. You just have to change what yoiu eat completely and keep the saying. "a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" in your mind AT ALL TIMES The reason you gain the weight so easily is b ecause you know you can get it off again. But this becomes too much of a repetitive cycle. So, Keep up the hard work, and i'm right there with youuuu
Reply from Victoria, Age 16 - 05/31/10 - IP#: 71.2.180.xxx Juliette is right! I'd say dance as well. I take dance, and whenever I feel that I'm not exercising enough, I just remember that I dance!.. When you dance, you're exercising, but you hardly notice it. :) Good luck!
Reply from Juliette, Age 17 - 05/30/10 - IP#: 99.237.131.xxx personally, i'd say dance. maybe exercise with a friend as well, i find it helps cause you can motivate eachother to stay on track. Dodgeball, Volleyball, basketball - all fun sports if you enjoy them. And as for sweets, try substituting with sweet fruits like watermelon! Hope it gives you ideas ;) Good Luck.
