Ht. 5'6, Wt. 195 - Hi, my name is Courtnie, and I am a new member to this "club" me and my family just started a diet the other night, and I keep track to everything I eat, and how many calories or in my food or drinks, and I'm gonna start goin to the gym at least 4 times a week, but I'm trying to loose 35 lbs. by April 15th...and my grandparents say its impossible, and I really would like to loose that much because it's my birthday dinner and we have to get all dressed up fancy and stuff, so if anyone could give me any advice on what to do id really apperciate it... and if you could tell me its possible or not that would be apperciated too. thanks! courtnie

Reply from Heather, Age 16 - 01/28/06 - IP#: 207.216.187.xxx you can do it! make sure your heart rate isn't too high or else you'll just be burning sugar. Slow and steady wins the race. also, try and limit your intake on salt. prove your grandparents wrong. what i do when i get tempted is go into my room listen to music and visulize what i'll soon look like.
Reply from Heather, Age 18 - 01/28/06 - IP#: 12.222.105.xxx Limit all sweets if possible. Lots and lots and lots of water. I go to the gym 5 times a week for about an hour and a half. I do all cardio equipment... aka stair stepper, bike, treadmill, eliptical. Do them for long periods of time... don't do 5 minutes of each. You have to keep your heart rate up to burn fat and calories. Right now I'm hooked on Carrots and Fat free ranch. Also Yogurt is good too... you must get lite yogurt though. Carb concious would be helpful too. if you need and help or advice my aol sn is heatha0306... good luck :)
