summer....i want to get skinnier!
hey,
im 15 years old, about 5'5 and weigh about 165lbs.
Ive always had a large frame, and i know I am built bigger and I always will be. But I do want to lose weight. So far Ive lost about 5lbs. in 3 weeks with weight watchers, and I want to lose 20lbs. I would really like to weigh 150lbs. by the end of July. I exercise everyday for at least an hour, I guess my problem is that I like to eat. But ive dieted before, and I know what to eat and such, it's just that it's hard being a teenage when I can't like eat anything! But I'm on a summer swim team so I will be swimming like 3-4 days a week and doing abdominal exercises and I have friends in my neighborhood to ride bikes and jog with. But any suggestions? There are times when I want to quit because I'm not making any progress..and i think about food wayyy to much, which is suprising because I'm really active and invloved with school and 4-H and alot of other things. And if you have any advice for like cravings or like any food advice of dieting please help! I really want to meet this goal so badly! thank-you!

well it really doesn't matter what you eat but how much you eat so just watch your servings. your exercise routine sounds really great also don't be afraid to indulge a littel. good lick and have fun!

When I tried losing weight this is what i did to get rid of those cravings. instead of snacking on high fat things the recipe that I found that works the best is a fruit dip.. all you have to do is mix marshmellow puff and cream cheese. if you get fat free cream/ low calorie cream cheese it is healthiest. then you can dip whatever fruit you want in it. grapes are my favorite :) this helps because it is sweet and really good. this way you can prevent your intense craving for ice cream and sweets.
Hope this helps :) and good luck!

find some low calorie snacks, like icecream wise, well not icecream but like ice pops for those sugary cravings.
also its easier to lose weight in the summer because you are just moving around a lot more, but just eat healthy, and don't get discouraged
especially since your going to be swimming alot you might actually gain weight, because swimming builds alot of muscle, so you'll lose fat and gain muscle, but you'll look slimmer.
good luck.

First of all, KUDOS to you for wanting to get healthy!!! That's great!
First off, the pool is great!!! You are gonna burn like 850 calories (probably more) an hour just doing that!!!
You are already active, it's just the food, right? Well I am 13, and I lost 30 pounds over the school year. It was very difficult and you CAN'T give up.
-If you want something sweet, just eat it. That way you dont go on a eating binge. Put the food in a little baggy and when you are done, you are done. Period.
-Make one day of the week your "cheat day" All the rest of the days TRY to eat healthy.
-When you are finished with a meal, but you still have more on your plate, pour something nasty on it. For example, if you still have mashed potatoes and a little bit of steak on your plate, pour ketchup on it. (Unless you really like ketchup, then put something else on it!) That way you don't eat it.
-Ask your friends to help you. Have a sleep over where you eat healthy stuff. (Instead of chips & pizza, have fruit and sushi.) If sushi isn't your game, try something else healthy. Just a substitute.
I hope this helped a little. Good luck and if you ever need support, I'M HERE FOR YA!!!
Love,
Lys
