Ht. 5'4", Start: 181 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 166 lb - Okay, so The Jiullian Michaels book scares me, It makes me feel like im on the biggest loser myself 0_0 Everything is so strict... it tells you the percentages of fat, protain, and carbs you should be eating, for your metabolism. It doesnt really work well for me though, I am supposed to eat more protain then carbs and fat, but im vegetarian. =.= It doesnt reall say andthing about it, and in the thirty day meal plan for my metabolic type there is meat in every meal.... And the exersize plan is kinda hard to follow, there a lot of exersizes in there that i dont know, and I need to learn them. So I think I am going to get down to 160 before I start that plan. So far today all I have had is a boca meatless chicken patty, with a slice of pepperjack cheese (no bun) and a cup of soy milk, so I think I will do okay. School starts again tomorrow, so we will see how that goes!

Oh, and Halli...If you want to lose weight but this book doesn't work...It's not ironic if the book's not meant for a vegetarian.

Yeah, personally, all these women yelling at you on videos (or through books) don't work for me either. I would suggest Latin workouts. They're mostly dancing (if you like dancing, like me...hence my name!) so they're fun. If you're talking books, I don't own those kind of books...just every other kind. (My mom has 22 bookcases in total...6 ft. ones..)But what book is this? It sounds cool...the metabolism part and such.

Oh No, I get enough protein, I have my supplements and everything, ive been vegetarian for a long time. I was just refering to how its kind of ironic that I am supposed to eat the most meat and im vegetarian.

Well, I think you're REALLY supposed to eat that much protein when you're trying to lose weight, because you NEED that much. There are protein supplements, vitamins and such you can buy to help out with that since you are a vegitarian, and I know it can be hard to get enough protein.
But if you feel that book may not work well for you their are lots of weight loss books out there for teenagers and younger people who would like to lose weight.
