i start school tommrow. For lunch Im always getting junk food at the snack bar and after school i always get things out of the vending machine. I am afriad I am going to gain alot of weight this year and I dont know what to do. The healthiest selection of food there is a hambruger and I could bring my own lunch, but Im not sure what to bring, we only have a microwave that we can only use for 3 minutes, so that is always crowded and out of the question...any tips? oh ya, and how can i fit exercise into my busy schedule? school 8-3, stay after till about 4 or 5, come home...then on weekends i work from 12-4?

Instead of making your lunch in the morning, you could make your lunch at night or a time where no one is using the microwave.

don't bring money to school, that way you can't buy food from the vending machines (stick an apple or something healitju for if you get hungary after school. For lunch don't have any money in that account so you won't be tempted either- bring healthy stuff- a turkey sandwhich,veggies, fruit, water. Just take the temptations away. For exercise it doesn't have to take a long time, just jog for 20 min sometime.

try slimfast meal on the go bars. they won't take up room in your bag but they're yummy and will fill you up! oh- and try and exersize a little in the morning when your muscles and body is regenerated and it'll burn more percentage of fat if you don't have anything in your stomach while exersizing anyways!
