Ht. 5'9, Wt. 399 - Hi, sorry its been a while. i kinda got introble and couldnt use the computer. But yea im up to 399 so any advice would be welcome. Iv started trying to put my food in places where its hard to get. Like a few feet away from the couch fridge so if i want somthing i have to get up for it. I think that may help.

Reply from charlotte, Age 15 - 02/06/06 - IP#: 71.112.39.xxx 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!

Reply from Monica, Age 16 - 02/06/06 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx One thing that helps is to stop eating after a certain time. Like me I like to eat at night. So my thing is that I stop eating after 9pm and I drink water only. Also use portion control. DOn't just put alot of food on your plate. Eat smaller portions. And finally Exercise. I think if we exercised enough we would'nt even have to eat healthier. I think they say eat healthier because it does give you more energy. So yeah. Good luck
