Hi. I'm 5'4 and 160lbs. I'd like to lose at least 15 lbs before school start to surprise my classmates and a certain guy. Overall i'd like to lose 30-40 lbs. Anybody know a semi-easy way to loose the weight without spending any of my very limited cash? Or if you'd like to try the buddy diet and have somebody for support and to trade ideas email me @ autmngrl6@hotmail.com

Reply from Tamara, Age 15 - 07/08/01 It may be hard to lose that much weight in such a short period of time, but I have a few suggestions on how to begin. First of all, write down everything you eat for a few days. Notice if you tend to eat a lot of candy or drink too many sodas. If so, begin to cut them out of your diet. I have heard that in order to lose a lb., you must burn an extra 3500 calories. If you figure out how many calories you are consuming, you can cut it back by 300 or so per day, and add excersize to burn off an additional 200. Then you should theoretically lose one pound in a week. Hope this helps.
