Hi there, over the summer I did a 10 day fast, I lost 15 pounds in 10 days but my mom made me get off my fast because she said I looked awful. I started at 205 and went down to 195 where I stayed there for a couple of months, I'm 5'7 btw. So this past month and a half (Jaunuary-February) I've lost 23 pounds, I want to lose another 25 to be at my goal weight of 150. I hope I can do this! My diet consists of cereal, skim milk, veggies, fruits and I wouldn't have it any other way. I work out with the Firm every night and I take the longer ways through the hallways at school since its too yucky to walk, I rest either once or twice a week from exercizing.

Raquel it is great that you are setting up a diet and exercise plan for yourself. One thing that you should consider is eating more protien and less fruit. After I saw I dietician, he informed me that eating too much fruit is like eating a candy bar. The sugar that is in the fruit dissolves quickly and whatever the body cannot grab for energy turns into fat. If you eat more protien and take a multi-vitamin called "Carb Smart. You will lose the weight faster and the vitamin will help to turn the protien into energy. Also you should never fast to lose weight, the body will begin to think that it is starving and will start to turn whatever you eat into fat automatically. And if you dont eat for a while (like more than a couple days) YOur body will start to dissolve your muscles.

you need more protien in your diet or you'll lose a larger percentage of muscle mass.
