OK, hihi.

I'm 15, 5'7, and between 162-165 lbs. Now, I've had so much difficulty with diets before.. I wanna lose between 25-30 lbs. I want to take it 5 lbs at a time.. so i can have little victories and such.

My plan?
Breakfast: Special K
Lunch: Orange and water, turkey sandwich sometimes
Dinner: Turkey sandwich and an orange.

*Oranges for snacks, and bananas. Lots of Diet Mountain dew.

*(I'm addicted)

How's that sound? After each 5 lbs lost, I was thinking i could have a free day, where i can eat a little more normally. Then back on the diet again!!

Exercise: Swimming laps now and then, Tae-bo (20 minutes) and DDR. These aren't all on the same day, something everyday.

How does thaaaat sound?

And my other question, How long does it take to lose 5 lbs usually?!?!?!???????

Thanks guys, I reallllllllly appreciate it!

Well, first off it sounds pretty boring and I doubt that you'll stay with it very long. Secondly, it's probably not enough calories. Third, I see too much fruit and not enough veges. Lastly, it doesn't look like you're gonna be getting enough protein.

It seems like you like turkey sandwiches.

How about you have some chicken (grilled for example) w/ veggies for dinner. Try to change it up about and include some snacks in there throughout the day. Which may include fruit or vegatables, handful of nuts....etc...

If you worked out and eat healthy I would say you could lose the 5 lbs in about 2-3 weeks. When doing diets correctly it's healthy to lose approximately 2 lbs per week.

oooh.. thanks

I love chicken too, don't get me wrong

And my mom makes it really good, so i'll add that in along with some corn and carrots and such.

So then I'll check my weight every 3 weeks or so

Hopefully this will work, and I've been addicted to DDR lately, I've burnt 300cals on it today already, plus i was doing cardio in the fitness center in gym today.
