Do I need any changes?
Hi, I am a 16 year old female who is looking to lose weight. I hope by next summer I can drop from a size 13 to a size 9 (the size I was 2 years ago). I am setting up a new diet and exercise plan, and I'm wondering if it is a good start.
Diet:
Breakfast: Crispix cereal. (About 150 calories)
Lunch: Dinner roll filled with turkey, lettuce, and mayo (Maybe around 300-400 cals?). Some type of fresh fruit (Usually an apple or orange; under 70 calories?). Water.
Snack: Wheat thins with babybel spreadable cheese. (165 calories)
Dinner: Usually whatever my family has. I will eat a small portion of what ever it is. (I don't see this over 500 calories).
Desert: Yogurt (100 calories).
All together: Around 1,400 calories.
I am limited to my lunch and dinner, because our school has barely any healthy options. There used to be a salad and sandwich bar, but now there is only one for a sandwich. For dinner, I either eat what my mom makes or don't eat at all. I have already cut out sweets and soda. I only drink water or juice.
For exercise, I will be going to my school's weight room from 3:45 to around 5:30 to do purely cardio activities. I have a choice between running/walking on a treadmill, elliptical, and the bike machine. I will break up my time to do all three. At home, before bad I will gradually do push ups, crunches, and those workouts you can find in magazines (like seventeen).
Does this seem like a good start? Is there anything I can change or add that can help my towards my goal? Thank you for your time. (:

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
That's a very good start! I suggest just to drink water or green tea because that boosts your metabolism (high metabolism makes you lose weight faster than a low metabolism). Also fish has around 100-200 (depending on what type and how much you consume) cals and its great for protein. As for you exercise that sounds great but don't try to kill yourself take it slow.
Good Luck,
