Well on my diet I've lost about 5lbs a month. What I do is try to eat between 1200 and 1600 calories a day, then exercise 400 of the calories off (the goal is to eat 1200 calories w/exercise or less). Cut back on pop and snack foods and your lunch sounds like a good idea. If you do that you should be fine  Lemme put it this way: I was 190 last May, I'm now *almost* 160 (I'm 163 lol!)  |

Thanx so much Kaja!!! I really dont keep track of calories cause its hard being in hig school and all...One peron gets fries ane everyone grabs some. its sorta like one person has fries, another ice cream, another chips. Everyone offers to everyone basically. And when your hungry, you dont turn down junk food. LOL I'll definetly try my hardest!! Sounds like a great idea! *huggs*  |

OK first and foremost consult a doctor before embarking on a weight loss diet. If you however must do so with out medical advice then I suggest "The Atkins Diet" or "The South Beach Diet." Both can be found on the net. As always make sure you are taking vitamins when you do this. And drink plenty of water as well. Also talk to your parents and best friend. Support from them is the key here. Dont do this without anyones knowledge.  |

Eat yogurt twice a day for about a month and I promise you will get results! You don't have to substitute it for a meal or anything, you can just eat it as a snack. All the calcium in it speeds up your metabolism...it really does work. Good luck  |

Blondie is right, yogurt can help you. I would quit drinking pop, and cut out cookies, cake, things like that. And cut out fried foods.  |

I started my diet probably a little before the new year and I've lost almost 20 lbs. I've been watching what I've been eatting. Cutting back a lot of sugar, soda, fried food, some breads unless it's low carb, eatting more meats and veggies. I also excersize as well whenever I can. I try to excerize at least 30 mins to an hour a day... 3 to 4 days a week.  |

Watch your calories intake, and fat intake too! i did that and slimfast and i lost some weight doing that. I had slimfasts for breakfast and lunch, and little healthy snacks in between, and then i had lean cuisine and wieght watchers stuff for dinner, but i had to stop cause the food was getting expensive and the slimfast made me dizzy, and nausus, it does that to some people lol. well, good luck   |

for someone like you who doesnt have that much weight to lose i would say atkins diet, its really simple and it works well, but make sure you are working out and drinking water.  |

Beware of the protein intake when following Atkins. Too much of it may cause kidney damage ! Try to eat 6 times a day (3 meals and 3 healthy inbetweens). That might help as well because you don't get starved and overeat.  |

Eat more fruits and veggies and less carbs and sweets. Also, walking and doing sit ups before bed help out. I've been doing 400 sit ups before bed and I can see a dramatic difference.  |
