<IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bang.gif"> Good luck girl! <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wink.gif"> hmmmm as the previous poster said cu out empty calories. Consume at least 75% LESS than you did, but of COURSE still allow youself treats! (how fun would life be without them!?!) You're still so young and don't want to feel like you're restricting yourself- while ALL your friends are goin at all the candy, soda, and chips they want. <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/tongue.gif"> (That just wouldnt be fair, and it'd just make you feel isolated)
Sometimes teens don't realize the empty calories soda has...try diet or just cut soda all together
(im a diet coke ADDICT!!.) That could be cutting out more calories (i.e.= POTENTIAL fat) than you realize.
You made me so proud and happy when you said you want to do this th healthy way! <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/round.gif"> You are a SPECIAL person. Too many kids are getting caught into "starvation," or the terrible "purging" of the food. That only leads to unhappiness, depression and struggle eventually...In the long-run you'll be the most content <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif">
Good luck and i wish you the best! I'll post more tips too when im not so tired <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/yawn.gif"> hehe.
g'night
**Remember you're young, have fun, be healthy, and treat yourself right (including indulging sometimes!)**
