I need to drop
30-40lbs by july...

im 5'5 160lbs...

but I cant stay motivated.. my mom cooks some great fat meals and I get so hungryy
someone pleassse help!!!

I need some tips.

umm it's really hard.. I LOVE to eat and especially those foods that I shouldn't be eating! But my worst thing was bored eating.. . SO if you have that problem I would say try to find a hobby/job or just something to do so you're not eating all day!!! also try eating smaller portions, and get a lil exercise.. take a walk or just go walk around the mall with friends for a couple hours that way it won't seem so much like work or exercise. sorry if I couldn't help!

Hi,
To put you a nice way into the Body Mass Index healthy zone, you just need to lose 18-20lbs.

The important thing is to eat healthy and well balanced meals and to do regular exercise so that your body is toning up as you lose weight.

You may find this totally free website useful for keeping a record of your diet and you can also add friends e mails so they can log in and motivate you as they read your progress.

Remember, try not to lose weight too quickly. Just a couple of pounds per week will make it easier to keep them off.

Once you have lost the weight, you will need to adapt your eating habits in a healthy way so that you keep the weight off.

Good luck

Hi ,
I no how you feel
I'm trying to stay motivated to exercise and keep fit
I'm not over weight or anything
But what I find really useful is to look at what you could be in the future,
or think about how you want to look like and get your hair done and a facial or maybe even a pampering day away from reality. Now you have the hair and stuff aim for the body take it day by day and try to think of a ten minute exercise you can do in the mornings and in the evenings

Also try simple things like pacing or walking up and down stairs when your on the phone, you will be amazed at how many calories that can burn. You could also try asking your mum to let you cook and try something healthy or vegetable dish or fish dish, these don't have to be fatty, but can really make a difference. This way you know what is going in the food and you could maybe experiment

Hope this is helpful
