Alright I know I'm not a teen but I was here when the board was 11+ so I'm just used to coming here plus alot of the people on the Pre-teen are kinda immature sooo thats why I'm here not there. Anyway...I need some advice because I want to lose weight and its not that I'm not motivated but most of my friends are skinny and they eat junk food, they don't eat alot but when they do its junkfood so thats when I'm with them like at a sleepover or lunch during school so I eat junkfood too. Its really hard to sit there eating salad with low fat dressing while they are all eating chips and drinking Snapple! Me and my friend Nicole said that we would go on a diet together because she wants to lose some weight too. I want to be able to go shopping with them next summer for bathingsuits and new school clothes and stuff instead of making up exscuses like I did last year becuase all of them wear Juniors and I don't I ahve to wear Womens clothes. I need help! I don't know what to do!! I'm desperate! Thanks in advance, Rach

Reply from Krista, Age 14 - 12/27/03 - IP#: 198.81.26.xxx Hi Ray! You seem really nice, and I think you can do it! The best way to lose weight is to start eating healthy and start exercising. For eating healthy, I'm pretty sure you know what foods are healthy and what aren't. For exercise, I would suggest a cardio, and then if you like a yoga/pilates routine. If you want some ideas on healthy food I'll give you some... -whole wheat bread, (don't overdue it) -salads -yogurts -cheese -eggs -meats -fruits -veggies..ect... I wish you the best of luck and if you need help don't hesitate to ask me! Krista
