Is this a realistic weight loss program? -

I m 5 2 , am under the age of 20, weigh 119 lbs and have a 29 inch waistline.My goal:To be 110 lbs. and have a 24 inch waistline.I want to be able to reach this goal in, maybe, 2 months. My daily exercises will include:2 hours of tennis.1 hour on a bicycle.Maybe 30 minutes of power walking.Crunches, Bicycle Crunches, The Plank, and Leg Lifts.My eating habits are very healthy. I m not a calorie-counter, though. I really don t feel the need to do math to eat food. My breakfast is usually half a cup of cheerios, w/ skim milk. I may have fruit instead, though. My lunch is usually just an assortment of veggies, maybe some Triscuits thrown in, too. And I have a variety of dinners, all home-cooked and healthy. I may have a dessert, which is usually a sugar-free popsicle or some cookies made with Splenda instead of sugar. Not every day is like this, obviously it differs, but it doesn t change a whole lot health-wise.So, in your opinion, is this a realistic weight loss program?

You dont want to hear this but your body is already healthy and already at a weight that it wants to be in. You don t even eat that much and your body will not be able to handle that much excersize with that amount of food. If you dont like math while your eating food. Forget the math when it comes to the scale and your waistline. You will end up frustrating yourself.

myself, i eat 1 big meal a day, and then mostly fruits and veggies the rest of the day and drink a lot of water, but i m very active , @work and i bike, and crunches, i was 192 lbs just before new years and today , i m 158 lbs. i m 5-6 and went from a 36 inch jeans to a 33, and i ve never felt better. more zip, in my step, and way more energy, and no more alcohol. 2yrs today.

Hellotwo things.Waistline is also a matter of body type. If yours is 29 at 119 lbs, it s unlikely it will be less than 27 at 110. So you need to either revise your weight target or revise your waistline target.Second thing is, if you don t count calories, you won t know how much you are eating. Therefore, you won t be able to plan your exercises accordingly. Furthermore, if you don t count, you will have no idea of the calories in your food, and won t therefore be able to self-regulate effectively (I know people that thought 4 oz salmon to be around 100 calories just because it is healthy, while in fact it s around 200, then calories add up and people get surprised that they don t lose weight!!!). You might stop counting after you ve learnt the caloric value of foods if you wish.In short: without having an idea of your daily caloric intake, it s impossible to understand whether the level of exercising you outlined is enough for your goals or not.:)

it s a great plan. impressive.

This sounds great, but be sure to keep some protein and iron in your diet, you don t want to become anemic.

You don t need to lose weight because you have a healthy BMI. However, you can replace some fat weight with muscle weight by doing the exercises you mentioned. Have fun!
