Question Posted Wednesday September 28 2005, 4:48 pm
Since I had to stop my all-star cheer squad last Dec. I`ve put on a few pounds. I eat 3 small but healthy meals a day, I do 200 crunches in the morning and night and I only drink about one soda a weekend. I still can't seem to lose that last inch or the last couple of pounds off my stomach.

-9-10 hrs of sleep a night, you're probably asking why, but trust me, it helps.
-eat a good sized breakfast. duh it can't be all donuts & cakes but it can be special k & toast er something like that. whatever you like, but good sized. there's studies that say if you don't eat breakfast, your body goes into starvation mode causing you to gain weight, er not burn off any calories.
-eat all 3 meals, good proportioned
-eat every 3 hours, but the trick is that you have to eat healthy like fruits, veggies, crackers, etc.
-exercise about 1-2 hrs a day. it could be jogging/running, playing basketball, swimming, doing 100 crunches, etc. it doesn't have to be difficult er anything. light is good too.
