Q: Basically, I want to loose 20lbs by the end of school. Right now, I'm 16/f and weigh 151lbs and 5'6. I would like to weigh 130-135. So far I've been eating::
Breakfast- Oatmeal, Bannana, Diet Iced Tea.
Snack- Grannola bar
Lunch- Turkey Sandwhich, Yogurt, Carrots
Snack- Strawberry's, or some sort of fruit.
Dinner- A Lean Cousine Or Healthy Choice. (under 400 calories)

Every Day or so I also take a walk, or work out for forty minutes and then lift weights.

am i doing everything correctly? Do you think I can loose enough weight by the end of school? And what kind of foods should I add to my diet, if there are any?

thanks for the help :)

yes. that is a healthy meal plan for the day. make sure you get the reccommended servings of water, [8 cups] since it is a vital part in the human body's health. make sure to cut out soda, and juices like gatorade. [ if you want juices, it should be the orange juice, grape juice, etc. type juices] the soda and juices could be whats keeping you back from being as healthy as you could be. also, during your work out, you should run for at least 20 minutes. running is a very good excersize and helps in the cardiovascular system. 20 minutes is what you need to run or jog in order to get at your maximum beats per minute- which i learned in health today- is what you'd want to be at, and gradually that beats per minute goes down as you're used to the running. =D hope i helped.
