Diet.
Alrite im 17 almost 18 in October && female.
im about 30 pounds Over weight & im dying to have thatt dream body. Im not Actaully fat. I carry it good i guess you can say. But the fat is in all the wrong places. Thighs & butt & stomach.
I bought this oxygen magazine. Its exercises that give you that total body workout & you can see amazing diffrences in 30 days. I know im not going to lose all my extra weight in 30 days but i hope to lose quite a bit.
Im pretty much willing to do what it takes to lose this weight. Im going to start these exercises soon.
I love to run but it doesnt say anything abut running. I want to run but ill have to do it earrly morning say around 6-7am. I have a soccer field behind my house that ill run around. About how many times do i run around it?

meal 1:
1banana, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup oatmeal.
meal 2: a shake of 2 scoops protein powder mixed with 1/2 cup low-fat milk.

meal 4: 1 oz. almonds & 1 peach.
meal 4: 1/2 cup asparagus, 1 cup brown rice & 4 oz turkey.

That diet is ok for what you're trying to do but I would still add more protein to it. Add in tuna, more chicken or more eggs. Oxygen magazine isn't the best source for fitness information, but I will say that they gave you a good head start. Notice how each meal is broken down- The slow digesting carbohydrate of oatmeal is eaten first thing in the morning and the carbs become more simple as the day goes on. This is good in the fact that it keeps your hunger at bay and helps prevent the storage of bodyfat. Don't be afraid of carbs and fats though...you need them just like anything else. You're not going to see a drastcially different body in 30 days, I'll tell you that right now but you will see changes and most importantly you will learn discipline and what it takes to make REAL changes. Al is right, running is best done in the morning before you eat so that your body is burning fat over carbs since you haven't fed it all night (hence the meal breakfast to "break" the "fast" of the night.) Try the plan out, customize certain things to fit your taste such as food preferences; as long as they're healthy and be consistent. No one can promise you a drastically different body in 30 days...it just doesn't happen that way but I can say that you will learn a lot about yourself and what it takes to make those changes in 30 days.

The diet looks pretty good. It seems to make an effort to balance the meals well and to provide sources of essential fatty acids. Problem with diets is they really should be tailor made. How many calories you use is dependant on your current bodyweight and activity level. But its a good start, experiment with it and see how it goes.
Also if you get tired of the same old stuff you can use other types of lean meats, other vegetables and so on.
Running (or cardio in general) is great. Running in the morning I have read is even better for weight loss (before breakfast). I know a lot of bodybuilders use it in their cutting cycle. Personally there isnt enough tea in China to get me up and running at that hour, but its great if you can do it.
Regarding laps, I wouldnt worry about that. I would go for time instead. Start with whatever you can do and build up so that (ideally) you are running over 30 minutes.
As for when to start it, isnt that totally up to you?
Good luck.

Alright.. exercise maching sounds good..running sounds great, and I would reccomend 2-5 laps, ifyou've got the time. Maybe increase the laps week by week..((that's what we do in cheering)). Running is very good for you, too, because it's good cardio.
The diet sounds veryyy good, and it should be all you eat.. I'm pretty sure at least, hah.
And, the date I would start the diet if I were you.. as soon as possible!! If you want quick results, you should start this as soon as possible so you'll see more results at the end of those thirty days.
Good luck!!
