i want to lose 3 lbs a week


Question Posted Friday March 14 2008, 9:44 pm

15f
i'm trying to lose 25 lbs in 10 weeks.
which means i have to lose about 2.5 pounds a week.
my softball season has just started and i'll be having practice 3-4 times week. we usually do about 15-20 minutes of running, total, each practice if not more.
i have a membership to the YMCA and i was thinking of going there once or twice a week to swim laps and jog.
i do have a treadmill, but i go to a specialized high school where all of the classes are honors classes, most college level. so i would only be able to run on weekends.

is this enough exercise? and what should i do to get a flatter tummy/more toned thighs? i know my diet would have to change too; what are some suggestions for that? i do have a sweet tooth...

thank you.
oh & please don't tell me that i don't need to lose weight and i should just accept my body for what it is. because my doctor told me i need to lose weight.

Do 30-50 minutes of cardio at least 3-5 times per week. This can be running, swimming, elliptical trainer, or aerobics. Try to fit weight training 2-3 times a week if you can.

To get a flat tummy, it's not just sit-ups. You need to do cardio to burn the flab on top. Everyone's got a six pack somewhere under there!

For the thighs, do lots of lunges!! If you want to see some video workouts, there are some good ones on www.exercisetv.tv Or you could buy an exercise DVD. Other easy ways to burn calories are by taking the stairs and walking more when you can.

The key to losing weight is burning more calories than you consume. Cut out all the junk food (candy, fried foods, soda) and stick to healthy foods. East lots of greens and raw veggies. Don't forget to drink lots of water!!!! Good luck!!

eat regular one day, and diet the next.

this causes confusion within your digestive system. meaning that, if you consume 2750 calories one day, the next day your body will be set to consume 2750 calories. if you consume 1500 calories the next day, your body's metabolism overcompensates for itself.

also, try running up to 30 min on your own time, you'll see an improvement in your softball game for sure.

flatter stomach, the traditional sit ups

thighs, running will take care of that.

eat your fruits and vegies and drink plenty of water and you'll do great.
