Sorry, but yeah, it's the "d" word questions: diet.
Sort of anyway.
I'm 15/f, a vegetarian [not for weight lose, mind you], and I want to lose weight in my stomach, thighs, and legs. Up to 20lbs if possible in roughly 40 days [Probably not possible if I go at it the healthy way]
When summer began, I was pretty good about exercising every other day, but my eating habits failed like crazy so my exercising went down the drain. I've gotten lazy and stopped exercising. School starts in September, which gives me about 40 days to exercise. Recently I've been getting back on track with eating healthily.
So this is my plan for the rest of the summer:
7 Days a week, I'm going to run 2 miles and walk 2 miles in the morning. It sounds extreme but it's really easy for me and I enjoy going around my neighborhood 4 times in a row >.> And for 7 days a week, I'm going to do either target toning exercises for 40 min or pilates for 1hr [Exercise tapes] That would be my workout. I might expand on doing a few minutes of jump rope on the weekends. Don't tell me that I'm straining myself because I'm not and I'm enjoying getting more exercise into my life and running/walking gets me out of the house so I'm fine.
For eating, I don't eat junk foods or sodas or sweets or sugary stuff, unless it's a birthday or something. I don't find them very appealing and I can't eat too much or them anyways because I end up getting nauseous. I don't eat fast foods because the fast food places like BK, KFC, McD's, and Wendy's are NOT animal friendly at all & the food's not healthy anyway. My family doesn't eat out much so that's that. I pretty much eat veggies and fruits. Don't worry, I get my protein from beans and tofu and what not and I drink soy milk as much as I can, although I don't really like soy milk, or milk for that matter. I get iron and what not everyday, so don't lecture me. I know my stuff. I usually drink water or tea for my drinks and I don't drink juice [high sugar content] or sodas [again, they make me nauseous if I drink too much & I'm paranoid about rotting my teeth away].
So, I think that's pretty much my plans for the summer for losing weight. Do you think that if I stick with this plan, I'll be able to lose up to 20lbs in 40 days? If not, about how much would I lose in 40days? Can anyone give me a rough estimate? And don't tell me that I'm doing too much exercise or that it's not healthy because I really do enjoy running/walking and I love pilates for some odd reason =P
Thanks very much!!! (link)

Well, I think you misread...I want to lose 20lbs in 40 days. Not 40lbs. lol. That would be uber hard =X
& I already eat a lot of greens and fruits and very little to no junk food [as stated in my question] & no turkey for me...I'm a vegetarian >>
But thanks anyway =)
