Reply from Julie, Age 16 - 07/27/05 - IP#: 4.242.183.xxx 5 pounds in 8 days doesn't sound too healthy to me. Anyway, it depends on when your school starts. A good estimate is two pounds a week...but remember, this is not exact. A lot of people seem to have the idea that this is the way it's going to be, but it's not always. Just do the basics, exercize and eat right. Good luck!
Reply from Julia, Age 15 - 07/27/05 - IP#: 68.162.158.xxx Carol, I have just about the same goal. But what I do is set little goals. Like, I'll set the goal to lose 5 pounds in 8 days, for example and since it seems like an easy goal, I go for it. And when I step on the scale, and see i've lost 5 pounds I'm so happy and i keep on doing the same. And I just know that you can do it, too. Just set little goals and before you know it, you'll have lost 15-20 pounds! :) I hope that helps ya. Oh, and remember, watch the foods u eat. Good Luck!! :)
