i am 14/f and i weigh 129 and i'm 5'4 5'5 okay so i am not over weight but i have excessive body fat around my stomache area! i am going away in about 2 weeks for summer vaca and i want to lose 5 pounds. thats i think enough time. so right now i eat very lightly with carrots furits ect. & drink nothing but water. i run/walk 1-2 miles everyday && go to the gym for an hour every night. well most nights at least. && crunches everyo ther day. i have one more question. everyone says cardio always works to lose weight, thats running biking walking cross trainer right? i just started so if i keep this up will it work?! <33 thanks in advance!
Yes, cardio is running, walking, biking. It also includes things such as jumproping and jumping jacks(although I don't recommend doing 200 jumping jacks per day in attempt to lose weight). If you keep up what you're doing, you may lose more than 5 pounds. [ TheWallflower's advice column | Ask TheWallflower A Question ]

madem answered Tuesday March 20 2007, 1:24 pm: Yes this should work, but you should seriously think about what you are doing to your body. If you try to lose weight now, when your body isn't fully grown, it can cause you a lot of damage. So instead of trying to lose weight, why not tone up instead. To get a toned stomach, do about 50 sit ups every night - or if you would rather some variation, have a look online.
Think about what you are doing to yourself. You shouldn't be dieting at this age. [ madem's advice column | Ask madem A Question ]
