Ht. 5'7, Wt. 165 - hi my name is andrea and i feel i am so disguisting i cant find one good physical feature about myself accept for my hair which everyone says that they want but i dont think is that great. i am turning 15 on february 24 and by then i would like to have lost 10 lbs and 50 by august. my friends say that im not fat when i say i am, but i just know what they are thinking in their heads! i dont consider myself muscular (especially in my arms..i can only bench 90 at my max) so i know the weight is not muscle..ive been trying to count calories, which is totally stressful and it doesnt seem to be working, because i end up saying oh ill just start tommorrow..and there is not many workouts that i can do with no equipment, all i can do is situps and crunches (which i love doing because i like the burn..i know its weird)so if anyone can think of any creative excersises that can burn alot of calories just let me know (besides pushups,situps, and crunches)and remember that i dont have alot of room either:)
k..bye leave lots of replies!

you don't think 115 at 5'7" is too small? i do. maybe i just have more muscle or something- but i know that even at my height of 5'6" if i was 115 it would look disgusting...

i dont have trouble with the butter and those kind of things.. i have always drunk skim milk( even before i started to diet)..i cant tell the difference between butter substitutes, and i dont drink regular sodas anymore( i havent for about the past year..oh i love coke zero!and iced tea with splenda)my problem is the desserts and snacks.thats what kills me!..i mean once i get used to it it wont be so hard..i found that chewing gum while being on the computer and watching tv will keep me away from snacks and so will water..oh and i also need a weight loss buddy that has aim..my sn for aim is adianadegarmofan and my e-mail is dondeestabanana@hotmail.com
i wont check the messages again today because i have to go to sleep..ok well bye

Okay switch to low fat and fat free foods. Like switch to 1% milk and then work your way down to skim milk, use 50% light cheese, fat free mayonnaise (I prefer fat free miracle whip. It has more flavor) and stuff like that. Don’t eat a lot of butter. Try using Butter Buds which are butter flavored granulates. You can find them in the seasonings section at the store. Eat high in fiber foods like whole wheat bread instead of white. Instead of eating regular pizza try frozen smartones or south beach diet pizzas. And instead of ice cream try south beach diet cookies and weightwatchers ice cream bars, weight watchers cake, healthy choice ice cream, no pudge ice cream bars, or skinny cow ice cream bars. They have a lot of desserts out there that aren’t that bad for you! Some things I find helpful is to eat a small salad with fat free dressing with lunch and dinner. It makes you more full when you go to eat your main meal. Don't eat too many sweets. Make sure you don't have soda or chips on a regular basis. Eat LOTS of fruits and vegetables. And drink A LOT of water! Exercise daily. You can walk, or you can run, or ride your bike, or swim. Whatever you choose to do make sure you exercise for at least an hour daily. If you want you can just walk for thrity minutes and then swim for a little while and then just do outside play like jumping on a trampoline or playing basketball. weigh yourself every week and keep track of your weight. if you feel like snacking try drinking flavored water to satisfy your sweet tooth. Pay attention to portion sizes. If the serving size is one cup, don't have more than one cup. Portion sizes are one of the most important things in dieting. And remember to have faith in yourself. If you get yourself down it'll be ten times harder. And also remember to let go every once in a while and eat something that isn't in your diet! Good luck!
