Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Losing 35 or more pounds in a short period of time can be somewhat dangerous. Most docs recommend that you try to lose only a pound a week (something like 5 lbs a month). First the problems with rapid weight loss is that more than likely the weight will come back, if you lose more than 3-4 lbs a week you could develop gallstones (you have a gallbladder in your body that has bile in it, which is a substance that your gut uses to break down some of the foods that we eat in your intestine. If you lose a lot of weight there is a greater risk that stones will develop in the gallbladder and cause obstruction and other medical problems), also if you go too fast you may have a lot of loose skin that didn't have the time to "firm up".
All right, now that I've given you that info, this is some things that you can do to lose some weight and be healthy.
1. Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). This number is how many calories your body needs to function everyday.
2. Reduce this amount by 500 calories a day (so in a 7 days you'll lose a pound 3500 calories= 1lb.). But if you wanted to drop a bit more than this you would cut out the appropriate amount.
3. Exercise. Your body is able to adjust to burn a lot less calories if you starve it from its regular intake. It forces your body to convert fat into energy.
4. Eat healthy- avoid foods high in fat, sugar (even some fruits have high sugar content), and processed carbs (brown rice for example is excellent). It is important to eat protein esp after you exercise b/c this is the time your body is healing and building muscle the most.
5. Eat frequent meals- up to 6 small meals a day. You want to keep a steady blood sugar level. If you starve your body, you will have to eat, but then your body will "learn" that it is being starved and start storing foods as fat.
6. Drink plenty of water- water is the substrate needed to convert fat into energy. Also, muscle in large part is water so it helps in the healing process.
Those are just a few suggestions that I have. Sorry for the long answer. Any more questions, drop a line.
Good luck,
Arun

do 30 squats, aroung 50 curlups, and 15 push-ups, every school day- so around 5 days. Believe me, this will help you alot. i learned this from my PE teacher- when you watch tv, instead of sitting down pace, or walk, back and forth. it helps you lose some calories. and insted of eating junk food, eat stufflike fruits for snacks and other foods with less calories and fat.
