Lossing weight
hey! ok, so i'm 15/f. Well, I've really been wanting to loose some weight latley. I don't even know why it's just been on my mind a lot lately. All I can think about during the day is how much I want to loose weight. I'm about 175 pounds. I know it sounds bad, but I'm not like huge. I am bigger though. My best friend is about the same size and a while ago I had brought up something about this summer maybe going to the YMCA and working out. She said that she probably would, but i would like to somewhat start now. I will wait for the Y for the summer because I'm so busy with school right now, but I would like to start eating healthier now. But the only thing is, I don't know about healthy foods. Like, I want healty foods but I would like them to be tasty. I don't like salads that much, but then again, I haven't tried them for a while. I think I would like them more if it had some grilled chicken or something in it. But another thing is, I haven't talked to my friend about this in a while, and I don't know what she would really think about it. I think it would be eaiser to do if I had a friend to do it with, but if she doesn't want to, then I'll deffintaly still do it. So give me ANY advice and ideas about me loosing weitght please!! About food, workouts, how to ask my friend, anything!! thanks!!

Well everyone knows the only way to a healthy reassured diet is less food and exercise. You can do simple workouts, tredmills, or equipment. If you think a salad will be better tasting with grilled chicken you can do that. but buy skinless and boneless chicken breasts' and grill them but also make sure they have low calories or fat. Don't eat anything with high sodium, and for you that means no salt. No chocolate or fattening candy. Definately NO DAIRY. Try one glass of milk a day and one piece of bread a day; if you like them.
Hope this helps.

In most of the posts I answer about losing weight, I always suggest trying the exercise ball. It helps you use the muscles that you are not used to using. You have to stay balanced on the ball and do the exercises. It is great fun for me.
Also, it is a great idea to do this with a friend. It will be like a support system for each other. You could always say something like, hey I was thinking of ways we could start working out sooner together than this summer. Tell her that you would like to start doing a small workout routine about 3 times a week and see if she is willing to come over and do this with you.
Also, about the food aspect, just cut out most of your carbs, sugars, and high fat intake. It takes some time, but mainly read labels on your foods to get an idea of what is more fattening than others. One thing to stay away from, is prepackaged foods, such as: T.V. dinners, preboxed dinners (hamburger helper and such), high sugary drinks, switch to diet, even packaged lunch meat is high in sodium and preservatives. Another thing that is high in sodium that you should stay away from is canned soups. Sodium causes you to retain water, and makes you not lose weight. Drink plenty of water. Good Luck!!
