I need to loose at least 20 pounds!!!?!


Question:

I need to loose at least 20 pounds!!!?

I’m 5’3 and 152 pounds. I really wanna loose at least 20 pounds in 4 months. But my family says I’m fine, and I know they’re lying. Everybody’s really skinny in my family too, and I have a little brother who has tons of junk food all over the kitchen. So it’s sorta tempting for me. Any advice? If you need more info please ask. Thanks in advance!

Thanks so far for the answers! I'm actually pretty excited on going on a diet. I used to be very underweight, born at 5 pounds. And I've really let myself go. :DD


Answers:

I'm 5'4" and 155 pounds. I wanted to lose 30 pounds by the end of the summer, so did my mom(but 20 pounds). So far I have lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. We joined Weight Watchers online and love it. It is really very effective if you follow it. We also have a temptation in the house: my stepfather. He eats all junk food.

My tips are to find food that you enjoy, but still aren't very high in calories and fat. Also look for food that has a lot of fiber. Some good snacks are the WW muffins and mini cakes. They also have a whole line of frozen desserts that are really good. Stay away from regular chips(maybe baked every now and then) and cookies. Instead try pretzels or 100 Calorie Packs. They are amazing and have sweet ones and salty ones for any mood. Also, sugar free can be your friend- try pudding and jello, you can hardly taste a difference!

For meals, try to replace some sides with vegetables(at least one with every dinner) and if you need something quicker, their are Smart Ones frozen meals and canned soups are fairly low too.

As for drinks, use fat free or 1% milk instead of the higher ones. Try Crystal Light(its almost guilt free, and tasty) mini packets or tubs(for large amounts). And remember, drink a lot of water(or seltzer if you like soda).

I really wish you the best of luck and if you want any more tips or have questions, feel free to e-mail me: gothicdancerkitty@yahoo.com
