motivation and questions about exercise
hi im a 16 year old female and i started working out about 2 moneths ago. all im doing is going on the tredmill, just a fast walk everyday for at least a n hour sometimes 2. i started doing it at 5 in the morning cause of school but now im doing after i eat dinner which isn't that good because i heard you burn actuall fat when you excersise on an empty stomach. i was 143.5 and i am not 128.5. nobody can realy tell the difference though. i've been trying not to eat any sncks and eat healthy but after school im hungry so i will eat 13234657543 peanuts and crackers! idk how to stop myself haha!
by next summer, which is in about 9 months i want to be in shape. i want a flat stomach and nice thighs. i have some wrinkles on the back of my legs and i hate it! do you think if i keep up what im doing but stop the crackers and peanuts i will be in shape by next summer? i want skinner thighs!!!!!!!!!!!!! do u think i will get that by just fast walking on the tredmill. i dont want to build a lot of muscle because it makes your thighs bigger! pleaseee any suggestions or comments would be great!
thanks! :)

Try to log your calories each day. Stay between 1300-1700 since you're on a diet. Restaurant websites often have the calorie amounts cited on their pages or sometimes menus.
Stick to diet drinks. You don't wanna worry about logging drink-calories, trust me it really adds up. Have something low-cal like a gatorade to rehydrate.
Generally the fastest way to tone your legs, as much as this sucks if you don't like to run, is to jog up hills. Do that a few times a day a few times a week along with your usual walking. Walking, unfortunately, doesn't build any muscle and thus can't tone your legs, contrary to popular opinion. But it's certainly good for losing weight :) Don't be alarmed if you start running up hills and gain a few lbs- it's probably muscle, and no you will NOT bulk up!
Also start doing some crunches (10-20) after your daily walks. It strengthens the core & will shape up your abs.
As for the peanuts and crackers... well, we all have our guilty pleasure. Allow yourself a reasonable amount because if you don't cheat a little once in a while, it'll hit you REALLY hard when you finally do. Start weening yourself off them by eating one less every day.
Hope this helped :) And don't become obsessed with losing weight, 128lbs sounds very thin to me. :D
God bless!
