Hi, I'm fourteen, 5"7 and weigh about 140 pounds.
I know this is only a little overweight, but I'd like to lose about ten pounds by the summer.
I don't mind if this is really steady (say a pound a week or something) but I'm having real trouble losing the weight.
Anyway, what I'd like to ask is can you guys please give me some advice on how to resist snacking and/or how to lose a pound or so a week?
Thanks so much xoxoxox

Karen answered Saturday March 5 2005, 5:13 pm: To resist snacking, you need to distract yourself when ever you want to eat something when you shouldn't. Try wearing an elastic an when ever you get a craving, snap it and this will help you not to snack that much. To lose a few pounds a week to reach your goal of losing 10 pounds, you just need to start eating healthy, watching what you eat, and exercising daily. If your metabolism is causing you not lose that much weight, try to make it faster by eating differently each day; for example, tomorrow you can eat 5 small meals and the next day, you can eat 3 big meals and this will make your body confused so your metabolism will speed up. You can exercise right after you are done eat; start running or jogging on a treadmill. You will start to see results in a few weeks, that's if you don't cheat.
