Hi I posted earlier today but its on page 3 now and i want more responses so im asking again! Im 5'9'' and 195 lbs. Im in 8th grade. By the time i start highschool(10th grade) in about a year and a half i would love to be 130 i want to do it slowly so i dont mess up my body and get saggy skin and stuff cuz i have to lose a whopping 65 lbs. I was 130 at the end of 6th grade and by the end of 7th grade I was at 190! During the summer between 6th and 7th grade my dad died, then my doctor said i had something called depressional weight gain.(sorry for the extra info, just for your info) Does anyone know any good exercises( they cant be like running and stuff cuz i have really bad ashtma) and diets or meal plans or like umm how many calories to eat a day i have about 18 months so i'd like to lose about 5 to 10 lbs a month! Thanks again! PLEASE PLEASE pLEASE REPLY!

Reply from Linda, Age 16 - 02/23/04 - IP#: 152.163.252.xxx Just because you didn't like the low carb diet, doesn't mean that you should tell others not to do it. It has been proven very successful with tons of people and everyone saying its unhealthy doesn't know what their talking about. I seriously suggest going to www.atkins.com to learn more about the diet and the science behind it before you go talking about it. And if you were only on it for a short amount of time then maybe you shouldn't be dissing it.
Reply from Claudia, Age 14 - 02/22/04 - IP#: 24.67.253.xxx Please don't do low carb... it's your choice but I did it and I felt so greasy and heavy because like almost all i could have was meat and stuff. What I'm doing is low fat and healthy eating adn I've already lost 13 pounds. I only eat about 15 grams fat a day or less tho, so just adjust the diet to meet your needs :) you can do it, try it this was it's healthier and it will change your lifestyle so you won't need to eat as much to be full adn you'll lose weight and keep it off!!!! : ) its working for me, good luck
Reply from Linda, Age 17 - 02/22/04 - IP#: 64.12.116.xxx Ok...I recommend the Atkins diet, because it has been so successful on others around me. Though I didn't go on it, I went on something similar I still lost weight. Most people lose atleast 10 pounds the first two weeks on just the induction diet. It's strict, but you won't be left feeling starved. For the exercises, you could try lifting some light 2-5 pound dumbells...you could also do crunches. Maybe you should think about buying a pilates or some sort of abs video. Hope I helped and good luck!!
