Ht. 5'4, Wt. Too much - I am more than 30 pounds overweight and my goal is to be toned enough to play tennis next spring. This is what I am doing so far for excersize: 100 crunches, 30 minutes on 8.0 incline on treadmill, 100 squats with handweights, and 20 bicep curls on each arm with 16 pound weights. For eating I am cutting back to as little saturated fat as possible so for breakfast I eat fruit and plain oatmeal with a small glass of orange juice. For lunch I eat a homemade fruit salad with raisins, grapes, blueberries, and bananas, and for dinner I will eat some sort of canned veggie, a small glass of milk, and a piece of wheat bread with 2 scrambled egg whites on it. On occasion, when we remember to buy it, I will eat sushi for dinner with rice and seaweed...and fresh fish. YUM! Anywho, I have been doing this for about a week now and I have had a few days where I was weak and ate a cookie...or two, but I am dedicated to do this and the food is good enough that I think I can continue. Does anyone else have any ideas?
