First I would like to point out that I'm not as ghostly white as my picture looks. I actually have a really nice tan. :)
Hey, I just read this for the first time in a long time and I realized I sounded like a complete female Rainman. Anyway, I'm pretty much amazing, haha. I love to help people out with minor or major problems, so you ask me anything and I will answer it to the best of my ability! My favorite topics to give advice on are DEBATE, FRIENDS, POLITICS, MUSIC, and SPORTS (a recent thing!). I'm a typical Texas (college) football fan. That's pretty much it, so get to asking questions and stop reading this! :)

I'm 13/f, almost 14. I'm 5'10ish and 170 lbs.
My goal is to lose 20 pounds by December 31st 2006. My eating habits consist of 2 bowls of cereal for breakfast, usually a turkey sandwhich with 1 pint of chocolate milk & a fruit, and for dinner - i have about 2, 3 meals for dinner. I know I'm eating a lot, but I have four questions..
1) Is there any way for me to get my mind off of food so I won't crave it so much?
2) Excersize. How long should I run on the tredmill for/how many mph? I also play a lot of sports though. And also, if I'm not accesible to a tredmill one day what other exercise should I do?
3) What would you say is the rate I should be losing weight? (e.g. 2 pounds a week? 3 pounds a week? -- remember, I want to lose 20 lbs by December 31st 1992.
4) How many sit-ups and push-ups should I do every night? I would love to have a somewhat visible 2 pack by December 31st 1992
Thank you! (link)

1. there isn't really a way to stop craving food but there's a way to stop eating as much. Eating has to do a lot with what you see, not really how hungry you are. Use smaller plates (it might seem like you put more on your plate but you really don't) try eating 6-7 small meals a day instead of 3 huge ones, it makes you less hungry and keeps you full of energy all day long. Drink a TON of water, 8 glasses a day. It will help you lose a lot of water weight. You could also drink green tea.
2. run at your own pace for 10 min on the tredmill or take a jog outside. You could get a pilates tape or a work out tape and you could do that once a day. They really do work! Maybe try yoga?
3. 2-4 pounds a week is healthy. Try not to weigh yourself because remember, muscle weighs more than fat.
4. DON'T do sit ups, do crunches. Sit ups are bad for your back. Work your way up to 200 or 300 crunches a night and 20 push ups. Try doing different types of push ups, diamond (hands under you close together in the shape of a diamond), toe touch push ups (feet far apart), clap push ups (when you push yourself up, clap your hands..this is really hard to do)
You could also do squats to tone your legs and wall sits (back on the wall, legs bent like your sitting in a chair)
DON'T FORGET TO STRETCH! stretch AFTER you work out, it increases flexibility and keeps you from pulling muscles. Do it AFTER so your muscles are warmed up, the stretch further.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Tazo, the kind I drink, green tea is the best tasting tea out there! but any green tea that tastes good to you is fine.
