Ht. 5'3, Wt. 160 - A year ago a lot of things happened with my family and I stopped exercising and eating right and gained thirty pounds, bringing me up from 150 to 180. For about 14 months I walked to and from school, drank water and only drink water, as well as lift light weights at least twice a week. I've lost about 20 pounds since then and haven't lost much for about a month. I want to get down to the weight I was back in middle school, so I've been changing more things. I eat a bowl of Special K for breakfast with 2% milk, eat a salad for lunch with no dressing, and eat half of whatever my family eats for dinner. I also am in gym class right now and we run between 1/2 a mile to 1 and 1/2 miles everyday and at home I do stretches and exercises like push-ups and crunches. I'm not sure what else to add that will help me lose more, because I've been at 160 for a while now. I still want to lose about 30 pounds, but I'm not sure what to do-Does anyone have any suggestions?

It's pretty good and I like it better than water because it gets addictive-Most things that are good for you aren't like that. I'd drink in when I'm in the states during the school year, but my pitiful attempt at barley tea is disgusting.

Reply from Jamie, Age 16 - 08/23/05 - IP#: 152.163.100.xxx I'm thinking about using my DDR pad I have at home for extra exercise-I'm not sure if it will help since I am horrible at that game. I'm probably going to change what I eat on a regular basis as well. I think that it may have to do with how if you eat the same amount of food everyday, your weight wont change but if you eat a little more or a little less it will. Bah. I'm too slow to figure it out. Either way, I'm probably going to try not eating after 5:30. I always wondering if it worked.
