Dear Readers,I made a mistake that I hope you all do not do. I starved myself. Not for long (a few days) but I am very lucky that my friends noticed it and stopped me. I ate very little and sometimes nothing at school. My Mom noticed that I was losing weight, and said that I looked too thin. Before you diet...be sure that you are not thin...just seeing yourself as fat. We are all growing and need nutritien. I used to find myself going through the kitchen popping anything in sight until my nouth and as I look into the pictures, I notice that I looked a bit fat. Here are a few steps to losing weight or avoiding gaining weight:1) Keep ALL snack foods at your home in a cupboard so you have to do something to get it...and you will be sure that you REALLY want it...not only for the craving or the taste2) Only eat desserts on special occasions. Instead of having a cookie with that milk, why not an apple? Although the craving may be very hard to overcome, just remind yourself of how unhealthy that is for you and how you will feel if you have all of that extra weight. You don't have to give up desserts forever. I have tried to stick to "no desserts" unless it is a birthday of a friend gave you a bag of delicious chocolates! Try to make fruits seem delisous. Have images in your mind of the apple with water dripping off of it, and it coming out of the wonderful earth. 3) When possible...get the "Non-fat" or "Low-fat" things. Sure, those Lays Chips look good...but why feel heavy and possibly get heavy when you can go for the "Baked Lays"? You will feel so much better after eating an apple and "Baked Lays" and turkey sub than having "Whole-fat" chips, a burger and fries, and ice cream! 4) Exercise!!!! Having it be a rainy day is NO excuse for staying at home watching TV and eating cookies! Get all bundled up and take a low-key walk in the rain. Invite a few pals to go for a stroll in woods with you and work those legs! Maybe for Christmas you could ask for a tredmill if your parent doesn't already have one. They can be a blast in front of a TV!I hope these tips have helped and if you have any questions or comments please email me at patch1690@yahoo.com.Thanks!

I just recently joinded a gym, and its great!I do some kickboxing occasionally, and i do the treadmill for an hour everyday. My jeans are starting to feel baggy on me! and ive only been doing it for a week. Ive been drinking green tea, because i read in a fitness magazine that it speads up metabolism. Ive stopped looking at the scale, and i seriously suggest doing that to all of yall, because as soon as i did, i started feeling better about myself, and started seeing changes in my body! Im 5'5' and 140lbs, my goal is 120, but im soo toning up, im wearing a size 5/6 jeans now! Its great, the scale will lie to you, truly, excercise everyday and cut out the junk food, remeber-no scale-. Their was a survey conducted among women, those to lose wieght and were happy with their bodies and had a positive outlook on themselves lost 10 lbs more that those women who didn't like thier bodies or themselves at all and were trying to lose wieght.Mind and body people, all goes together, i know ill eventually reach my goal of 120lbs, and that day will be a great day, but until then, im happy with how i am, and i hope u are too.

A DIETWEEK 1: EAT 1800 CALORIES A DAY. RUN OR DANCE VIGOROUSLY FOR 5 MINUTES A DAY.WEEK 2: EAT 1700 CALORIES A DAY. RUN OR DANCE FOR 6 MINUTES A DAY.WEEK 3: EAT 1600 CALORIES A DAY. RUN OR DANCE FOR 7 MINUTES A DAY.WEEK 4: EAT 1550 CALORIES A DAY. RUN OR DANCE FOR 8 MINUTES A DAY. WEEK 5: EAT 1600 CALORIES A DAY. RUN OR DANCE FOR 9 MINUTES A DAY.WEEK 6: EAT 1800 CALORIES A DAY. RUM OR DANCE FOR 10 MINUTES A DAY.HOUSE KEEPING: RUN OR DANCE FOR 10-15 MINUTES A DAY. BY NOW YOUR BODY SHOULD BE TRAINED TO EAT ABOUT 2000 CALORIES A DAY WHICH IS NORMAL. CHECK IN EVERY WEEK AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE EATING THE RIGHT NUMBER OF CALORIES. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS STRECH BEFORE EXCERCISING. REPEAT ANY WEEKS IN THE DIET NECESSARY IF YOU CANNOT GO ON TO THE NEXT WEEK. YOU SHOULD LOSE ABOUT 10-15 POUNDS ON THIS DIET. REMEMBER, THOUGH, EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT, SO TAKE IT EASY. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE.

ok, here is my diet plan. i have givin these before, and i asked for peope to reply if they help or if they like them. but do they? nooooo. guys this works. it really does. and when u don't reply to them i think non of u guys care about loseing weight. and then i don't write them. so if u don't wanna lose weight, dont' reply. k here it is. fill your house with healhty veggie and fruits, and some non fat stuff. no sweets, and yes u can live with out sweets i do it all the time. cut back on snacks, instead chew some gum. try to keep yourself busy so your mind is off food. don't eat and watch tv at the same time. it is a proven fact that u eat more while watching tv. try to take the long way home from school if u walk to school. excersize some more. like sledding or biking or whatever, as long as your body is moving. this REALLY does help. i do some of this and i am not over weight. if i did any more i would be loseing weight so fast. all of my friends lost pounds on these. one of them really stuck to it and lose all she really needed in a week or 2. so try it out.
