Ht. 5'5, Wt. 134 - I see a lot of you younger guys/gals have this instant desire to lose weight ASAP. The truth is, you can't. Sure the first week is the easiest and you lose a lot of water weight. This is a lifestyle change that you need to make!! It's not just for your sisters wedding, a dance, or for the summer. The only way you can lose the weight successfully and keep it off is good eating and exercise. Our country seems to associate healthy eating with undesireable which is untrue. Cut back on sodium in meals, don't drink soda or juice, cut way back on your junk food, and EXERCISE! If you get your heart rate up for 35 minutes a day, that's enough. Roller blade or ride your bike. For breakfast drink carnation instand breakfast with a banana, for lunch have a great salad with grilled chicken or tuna, for dinner eat sensible. Talk to your parents also! They can really help you out. Your entire family can make a life style change. America is over weight!

OBVIOUSLY people aren't getting the idea if they are starving themselves, think eating 170cal a day is a lot, or just want to lose weight for this summer. It truly is a life style change that so many people forget about. You would think that everyone who posts here reads the other posts...well, if they read mine they are still doing the same stuff! So people don't learn and are not educated about health at all.
