Ht. 5'4, Wt. 154 - Hey everyone! Well I have been on my diet for a few weeks now and I feel great! I am really starting to feel like my old self again. I eat so healthy, but I haven't really been exercising. But the results are already so drastic:), my jeans are all very loose, and my shirts fit nicely. Plus, when I suck in my stomach.. it actually kinda looks like I'm sucking it in hehe. I've lost 10 pounds so far, and I know I can stick to my diet for a very long time because I actually like and crave the foods that are good for me! I write EVERYTHING that I eat down in my little journal which I carry in my purse, along with how many calories each thing I ate was.. and I always make sure to measure EVERYTHING so that I don't overeat. I'm homeschooled, so I don't normally wake up too early in the morning.. not til about 11 unless I really need to get work done. I always make sure I have protein, because it is very good for you and it is essential in losing weight! For lunch, I usually make a turkey burger (their already pre-made, so the serving size is correct, their 160 calories.. 22 grams of protein, and no carbs or far!!) with no bun, and no toppings.. because they taste so good without them anyway! I almost always have a salad with it too, I am obsessed with these Almond Accents (their made by Sunkist) I put a tablespoon of them on my salad and their only 40 calories! And, I usually only put about half the serving size of dressing on my salad! I don't eat bread, because when I don't, I lose sooo much weight and it stays off as long as I keep away from it.. which isn't hard for me because I am very determined and I have a lot of will power. I also like to make my "meat salad." haha I cook 99% fat free turkey burger meat and use Frank's Red Hot Sauce (no cals or carbs) and chili powder (no cals or carbs) and then I mix a little bit of sourcream in it and then put a lot of lettuce and it tastes just like something from taco bell but with only about 200 calories! I usually only eat about 600-800 calories a day, but it fills me up and I don't get cravings.. rarely I do, and I'll just eat some veggies or a piece of fruit! I love hamburgers, and the 99% fat free turkey meat is very healthy and lean. Everyone, if you really want to lose weight.. you know how to do it! Eat healthy, and exercise! You just need to have willpower, because in 2 weeks you can go down on pant size if you try hard enough! Good luck everyone!!
Reply from Anna, Age 17 - 01/10/06 - IP#: 69.215.3.xxx Not everyone needs 1200-1500 calories a day. I don't feel faint or have headaches or anything and I am losing weight and this is how I did it before. Everyone's body is different, if I ate 1200-1500 it would take me a 2 months to lose 10 pounds, or I would even gain a little weight. I am getting protein and vitamins.. and some fats that are good for you. And yes, I like being homeschooled a lot better because it gives me time to do the things I need to do, and I can go to the YMCA and work out during the day when there aren't really any kids from school there or anything.
