Basically the concept of losing weight is that you have to burn more calories then you take in. So exercise is almost a must in losing weight. Try to exercise for 30 minutes 3+ days a week. You don't have to do boring videos or classes to get exercise. You can do it by doing things you like. Such as taking a walk with a friend, I find that when I'm talking to someone while walking I forget that I'm actually exercising because I'm having fun! You could also swim, ride your bike, jump on a trampaline (sp?) or join a sports team...you could do basketball, soccer, softball or whatever sport you like. As far as eating goes don't restrict yourself to much. Other wise you'll just give up and you won't get anywhere. Let yourself have a SMALL treat once a week. Like a kiddie size ice cream or a servings of chips. Try to eat 4-5 vegtables or fruits a day. A mixture of both is the best. And one last thing, don't lose hope. It's a long hard road but you'll get to the end! *Ray*Ray* If you want more help email me sweeti_gurl2003@yahoo.com
