Reply from Speaks, Age 15 - 03/18/04 - IP#: 24.14.141.xxx Hey there! Kelsi had some really good ideas in what she was saying, although you should not eat only 1200 calories a day. People's caloric intakes are different depending on the person. With your weight you need a lot more than 1200. Try going to the website 1is2fat.com and try searching around. It helped me out. Drink lots of water, I cannot stress this enough. Also, find some time in your day (even if its only 20-30 minutes) to excersize. You can do lots of things like run, walk, dance, lift weights, ect. Do watch what you eat, put more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Cutting down on sugar like Kelsi said was a very good idea. Cut down on high in fat foods too. Smaller portion sizes are the key. A serving size for something like spagetti is about the size of your fist. (with everyone it changes, health is induvidual). When you go out to restaurants, 99% of the time the portions are big enough for two or more. Don't feel you need to eat everything on your plate (that's what they have doggie bags for ;-)). I don't know if this will work for you (remeber health is induvidual), but I eat small meals every like three hours or so. Just so I don't go from Big Breakfast to Big Lunch to Big dinner, but instead it supresses my hunger so i never feel hungry and I get to eat food every three hours. Well that's all I can think of for the moment. I wish you the best luck ever! Have a great day! :-)

Reply from Kelsi, Age 12 - 03/18/04 - IP#: 68.165.29.xxx Sorry for my last post, I mean WATCH ur sugar intake
Reply from Kelsi, Age 12 - 03/18/04 - IP#: 68.165.29.xxx Hey- Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. Do not drink any pop or anything like that for a drink. JUST water. Water ur sugar intake. Me, i have no more then 10 grams of sugar in whatever i eat. Cut what u eat in half. So if u have a slice of pizza for lunch, cut that piece in half, and only have one of the 2 halvs, save the other for later.----Watch ur calories. Have no more then 1,200 calories a day, and get at least 15 minutes of exercise a day. Im telling u, if u do this then u will lose weight like crazy.
