Hey, I'm 5'6" and I weigh about 155 lbs. I want to get down to 130 by th end of the summer. Does anyone have any tips for me? Plus, if there is another guy around my age that wants to be like e-pals and talk about stuff like this that would be great.
Reply from michelle, Age 15 - 05/28/01 i forgot something. when you are done running do 50 cruches to the middle and make sure your legs are bent then do 50 off the the right put your legs laying to the right then do it off the the left 50
Reply from michelle, Age 15 - 05/28/01 try running like 2 miles every other day. take them slow at first and try not to stop. because if you stop then you will make it harder to start again. Once you get the 2 miles down work up to 2 and 1/2 to 3 miles. If you run them on the road or not on a track it doesn't get as boring. I was exactly like you and I ran for about 4 weeks and I lost about 15 pounds. You need to also make sure that you eat healthy. try to cut back on the sweets to 1 a day. and eat like 2 fruits a day. eating fruits helps your energy because it has natural surgar to get you going not surgar that is going to give you energy for a little bit then quit. make sure that you eat every meal. breakfast is very important! that is how you start to burn the calories. and when i got done running i usually wasn't hungry for like 2 hours so don't eat unless you have an appetite. do not eat because you think you are hungry. and when you eat once you think that you are full stop for about 10 minutes. then after that if you are still hungry then eat a little more. 10 minutes lets the food in your stomach settle. I hope that this helps. :)

Reply from Katie, Age 14 - 05/26/01 Hi My name is katie. I am too overweight. I would like to slim down over the summer. Here are some tips and I hope that they help you!! Drink lots of water. I was told that a healthy person should drink 8-10 ounces of water a day and an overweight person should drink another ounce for every 25 pounds they are overweight. Now I know you're probably saying that's a lot of water and it is but if each day you increase how much water you drink and start decreasing all of the pop(soda) you drink then that will help you ALOT!! If you eat a lot of candy then you should cut down on that. I was told that everytime that I want some candy that I should brush my teeth. Try it maybe it will help you. Instead of eating everytime you have a craving try to do something else wether it is going outside and playing ball or going for a walk or even just reading a book. Do something to keep your mind off of your craving. If you want more advice you can email me at katiebug2187@hotmail.com. Good luck!! and YOU CAN DO IT!!!
