My mum has cut out all the junk food looked up on the internet of healthy foods of what she should eat each day and now she weigh's 101kg. She does 800 metre's around the creek about 3 times a day and does it two times everytime she goes for her walk. Maybe you should have a go at it. I will send you a healthy diet script i looked up on the internet and used for the girl who is loosing weight becasue it has helped her out and she feels good about her self. It is called the 14 day diet....Thought of the day Your 14-day sample menu Pre-breakfast: Add the juice of half a fresh lemon to 250ml of room-temperature water. Breakfast: Fruit smoothie with soy milk, water, rice milk or almond milk. Or Porridge with soy milk, fresh fruit and nuts. Mid-morning and afternoon snacks: A handful of almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pepitas and a piece of fruit Or a vegetable juice or banana smoothie with rice or soy milk. Lunch: Chicken, tuna or salmon salad with avocado, goat’s feta and any other vegetables. Use a dressing of olive oil, lemon and lime juice, and fresh herbs. Or Vegetable-based soup that includes protein (such as tofu, beans, fish, chicken). Dinner: Grilled chicken, fish or barbecue tofu and steamed vegetables with lemon and garlic dressing. Or Homemade vegetable soup. Drinks: You must drink two to three litres of water per day. Drink one vegetable juice daily with beetroot, carrot, apple, lemon and ginger. Try “chewing†the juice; this will assist digestion by increasing saliva.

Reply from Aud, Age 13 - 03/25/05 - IP#: 208.33.29.xxx Well Alexa I used to have that problem! I went to Curves and it helped alot , just call them and see if they can sign you up. But no matter what you do you have to watch what you eat. I totaly cut out junk food and started eating healthy foods like salads etc. I do not want to exercise either but we have to if we want to be in shape. Take a walk around your neighborhood something like that 3 times a week for 30 min. I walked on the tread mill 3 times a week for 30 min. and watched what I eat. I went from 175 to 145. Just focus on what you are doing and stick to it. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!

Reply from helen, Age 15 - 03/12/05 - IP#: 68.158.17.xxx hey alexa you dont have to jog 500 miles a day but if you want to get fit and lose weight all in one the best way to do it is cardio all you have to do is jog at a slow pace for like a mile and you will start seeing results its hard at first but after you start you might actually like it and then you will do more and be fit to do any sport,cheerleading,dance team you want and as for crunches just to 20-100 a night again it will be hard at first but it will get easier and easier for healthy things that you can eat a lot of FRUITS VEGGIEs they give you a lot of energy but dont necesarily fill you up so you might want to just eat a slice of bread with peanut butter on and you say you eat a lot when your eating SLOW IT DOWN i know you may not think you eat fast but when you take a bite of food but the rest back on the plate and chew 10-15 times and you will find you really arent as hungry as you thought you were.. i hope this helped ~helen~
