O.k hear me out I am a 5'6 1/2 female that weights 150lbs. All I want to lose is about 10-15lbs. by the time I get back to school. While in school I was always considered "big", or giraffe and I know that people my age are cruel about things like this, but I decided that I needed to lose weight over the summer. I know that there are people a lot worse off then I am but just to get down to at least a size 8 would satisfy me. What i am trying to ask is if there is anyone out there who had fitness tips that don't include not eating bread because i have been doing that and it isn't working and yes i am exercising but that doesn't help what I am eating. If anyone has good recipes for a girl like me that actually works. Also don't put something like eat only ice or don't eat at all because i am not into that type of stuff. I really appreciate all of the help I get from people. Also you can email me with tips or recipes at cayger123@aol.com. I forgot to mention that I have been exericising for the past 3 weeks and all ready have lost 10lbs. since then. I have told and asked you everything for know thanks to everone who replys. BYE
Reply from Rachel, Age 16 - 07/03/02 - IP#: 216.154.11.xxx losing 10 pounds in 3 weeks is not really a good idea. i heard that u shouldn't lose more than 2 pounds a week. if u lose more than that, that means u r also losing muscle which helps u to burn more calories throughout the day. u should eat properly breakfast. for lunch and dinner, eat whatever your family eats but a bit less. for snack, eat a piece of fruit or veggie. if u miss eating ur fav junk food, then just eat it once or twice a week so u r not depriving urself from any food. as for exercise, 30 minutes of aerobic exercise for 4 to 5 times is enough. if u can do 45 minutes, that's better but don't overdo it. u should also lift weight to develop muscle. hope i helped! bye
