Losing Weight
16/F/160-ish cm/145 lbs
As the title says, I want to lose weight. Not to look disgustingly skinny, but to look healthy and less flabby before spring or before softball season because I always get to the base a few seconds after the ball has been caught [I can run just as fast as my much skinnier friends]
I guess an appropriate goal would be 15-20 lbs (or a size 5 in jeans, currently a 7) because I want to still be proportionate and not a bobble head.
I do not have access to a gym since the only gym equipment that my school has is for the weight training class (the class is only for males, haha), and I have no means of transportation to a community gym (like YMCA). I lost 4 pounds over the summer but gained it back because of school and homework, which sucks.
I have a dog who gets exercise atleast once a week (because of school), which I guess is bad since a lot of dog owners walk their dogs on alternate days in my neighbourhood, but he's not fat/obese (finicky eater). Supposedly the breed he is adaptable to various exercise levels. So if anyone could give me a good time range, and types of cardio exercises (running, jogging, walking, etc.) to do with him, that would be awesome.
On a side note before I continue, I read somewhere that running can cause cellulite or sagging, is that true?
Also if anyone could recommend foods for a healthy diet (no crash diets, special k diets, or fad diets please) that would also help a lot.
Thanks~

Well if you want exercize to do my yourself then jsut do like 50 situps per night and you will lose weight, that helps. and cardo workouts, if you fun up to 30 minutes about 3 times a week..not more then 4 tho. You don't want to over work yourself. But around a half hour would be the expected time. As for diets, you might just want to cut down on the sugar and fat. That is all pretty much i can tell you. You can stop drinking pop, and drink water, milk, and juice, and then you should jsut eat more friets and vegtables and stop wit hthe junk food and ice cream. Just don't think about whta you look like and jsut make yourself happy. Good luck with everything and i hope you get to lose weight in the time you want.
