Tips on losing 10-15 pounds in 2 weeks?!
Question: I'm 16 years old, 168 pounds. My body build is big, but not fat. Im going on a cruise in 2 weeks and would like to get some tips on how to lose about 10-15 pounds. Me and my friends have a frozen pound out behind my house where we play hockey for about 3 hrs almost every day(Cardio?) so i am burning calories. Should I keep that up, or throw in a daily jog? I have already started eating less junk food, and eating more veggies and fruits. Also, any suggestions on a work out routine to tone my body? I already do crunches + push ups daily. Also, can anyone list some common house hold foods filled with protein? Any tips on a work out plan / tips on losing some pounds would be greatly appreciated!! : )

Good work on the exercise and the nutrition!
Healthy weight loss is between 1-2lbs a week.
Your body needs a certain amount of fuel (food) each day to stay alive and do any exercise/activities that you're involved in. If you eat slightly less than this amount then your body will burn fat to make up the difference. If you eat way less than this amount, you'll go into starvation mode and won't lose anything.
Figure out how many calories you need to eat each day to lose weight, how many extra calories you burn through exercise, and how many calories are in the foods you eat. You can do all of that here:

Good luck!
