Diet/Loose Weight!!!? -

I really am NOT happy with my weight....15 years old, 5 1, 120lbs (soo FAT!) I need a good diet to loose about 10 pounds in 2 weeks...plz helpdiet tips, what not to eat, what to eat, diet plans, how did u loose weight...etcrunning on the tredmill for 20 mintues ok? no pills, no Ur not fat , and no weight loss programs

Eat healthy.Stick with salads, soups, and sandwiches. Count calories and make sure you are getting adequate amounts of fiber daily. Eat all the food groups and try to cut out saturated and trans fats. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables when you feel like snacking. Eat granola bars when you want a treat. Keep condoments and dressings to a minimum, and if you do only use less or as much as the recommended serving size. Drink lots of water and never drink soda. Only drink 100% juices. Keep sugar content low. Sodium intake needs to be watched also(it can cause you to retain water). Also, don t drink water while eating. For breakfast-granola with fruit and a glass of OJ. For lunch-a turkey sandwich, carrots, yogurt cup, and a cheese stick. For dinner-chicken or LEAN steak, cooked or grilled veggies, and a glass of low-fat milk.Get exercise.Workout at least 3 days a week for one hour. But umm 20 minutes on the treadmill are okay at first. If you want to you can workout at home, but that gets difficult. Just go to the gym. That way you have a specific place and time to work out. Also, after each meal a few turns with a jump rope can make all the difference. After you burn fat from cardio, then start doing crunches and sit-ups to strengthen your abdominal muscles. Don t really do those until you burn a significant amount of fat. If you do crunches with stomach fat it can actually push your stomach out more making you look fatter.On this diet, I lost 7 lbs the first week, then up to 30 lbs. I m still losing weight and im at 110 lbs right now.
