Ok, the last time I posted here was a pretty long time ago, and I quit my diet.BUT, pretty much, I was only eating at least 600 cals a day, which was bad..So, I quit, and then went back to my bad eating habits. Well, Today is my 3rd day on my new diet! My first day went well..but my 2nd day was not so good..I think it was because my mom's birthday..we had cake, all that nice stuff. But, the exercises I did was this--I walked 3 miles(seriously) 100 push ups, 100 leg toner things, 200 curl ups,100 jumping jacks. So, I think that helped a bit ny exercising. Today, has actually gone really, really great. I've had no big cravings for anything, but small ones, but they passed.I drunk an Ice Mocha,which was 200 some cals..not bad. Then, I ewnt to the park for at least 30 minutes to an hour. For lunch I had a big bottle of water with a sandwich that had just a small amount of roast beef on it,and a VERY small amoint of fat free miracle whip with 6 pringles. After about a hour, I did some exercises, the ones I said I did yesterday, except only 100 curl ups. Then, I went to the park for about 30 minutes. I also walk to the park and back, so I ended updoing that twice. Well, now I am eating a smalll bowl of macaroni with a slice of bread, and water. I think that is all for the day, because I don't eat after 7. Sorry for rambling on and on, but I just feel a lot better now that I am having fun while dieting!! I feel really good just after 3 days! Well..again, sorry, just felt I had to post.

Glad you're enjoying your diet. Its good to do things you like. Suggestion, instead of calling it a diet call it your lifestyle change. Thats what you're trying to do, change your view on food right? No one can stay on a diet forever. Another thing, did you get beyond exausted from doing your exercise? If not keep it up, but if you did and you pushed yourself to reach that number then tone it down a bit. You should always start out with a smaller amount of reps in your sets. (reps is the amount of pushups like 15. Sets is how many times you do your reps so about 3) Build on a smaller number, BUT if you can easily do the amount you did then kudos to you kiddo. Good luck and congrats.
