hello everyone,
i found this website after looking through a weight loss magazine, and decided it would be cool to check out. i have read through some of the blogs and decided id post one myself. I am a 16 year old girl with a goal to loose about 50 - 60 pounds before summer time. Where i live, its pretty much a competion on who is perfect in everyway and its nerve wrecking as a junior in highschool being overweight. I have tried almost everything, ranging from diet pills to buying things you see on the tv [[such as nutrisystem and LA fitness]] and nothing has worked for me. I play soccer but even with me playing soccer is tough for me with my weight issue, not to mention i am an asthmastic.

Does anybody have any advice as to what i can do to help with the weight issue? i barely eat anything and work out almost 4 times a week ;; but nothing is working, and with summer a little ways down the road ;; its my goal to be at least 30 pounds lighter.

Help?

Hello to you!

The one thing that concerns me in your post is that you say you barely eat anything. Did you know that eating too little can keep you overweight? It can slow your metabolism to a snail's pace if your body thinks it's not getting enough fuel. I think you would be most successful if you forget the pills and what you see on TV and start eating enough healthy foods like lean meats (chicken, fish, etc.), vegetables, and fruits. Keep your calories in a sensible range (no lower than 1200 a day), make sure you aren't drinking your calories (regular soda, most juices, etc.), and stick with the exercise and you should see results.

Good luck! Hope you stick around and post!
