Hey Sammantha! You can still eat potatoes, however in smaller portions. Tell your grandparents that you only want a small plate of food. With this in mind, you must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Then the final step is to excercise, excercise, excercise!!!!!!!! run or jog around the farm or get a jump-rope and go at it. Jump rope is a easy way to lose weight all over and have fun. Remember your water (PLEEEEASE) You can write me anytime at: Shirleyd32@excite.com
