I am 5'1 and weigh 180 pounds. I realize i am way overweight but have been in denial about it for a while. I am now ready to start to try to lose the weight(at least 50 pounds). Any ideas for getting started?
Reply from Jenna, Age 18 - 03/20/02 - IP#: 64.12.105.xxx Try not to eat too many sweets and chocolates and stuff. Eat more fruits and vegetables. I personaly eat no more than 1000 calories a day and get a min. of one hour of exercise and a max. of 2 and a half hours maybe even more if i have the time and energy. Do whatever is best for you. That's the key.
Reply from Michelle, Age 14 - 03/20/02 - IP#: 63.168.31.xxx I so know where you are coming from. I use to be 175 pounds and 5foot 1 also. I am now 145 pounds and 5 foot 2. It took me about a year to lose all the weight. First I started by counting calories and exercising. If you want to know a good exercise program that invovles running and/or walking, please post here, because it is sorta long, and I don't want to write it all out if nobody is gonna use it. Oh, and when I counted calories, I allowed myself 1800 calories a day, then worked down to 1500.
