How can I lose weight healthily?!


Question:

How can I lose weight healthily?

I'm 5'6, female, and need to lose at least 25 lbs. I'm hoping to lose at least half by the time school starts [near the beginning of September]. Can I lose the weight [or at least half] healthily by the time school starts up again?


Answers:

Ah, don't focus on the numbers. Focus on the goals of the things that will get you to the numbers. How much water should you have a day. It's summer, so you can spend a little more time working out. Bump your exercise up to an hour per day for the summer. Tennis is good, swimming is good, walking and riding your bike. Set goals for how far you'll go. Instant gratification when you get there. Each day that you don't have any candy or chips or fast food is another pat on the back. When you find yourself heading for the kitchen (other than to fix a planned meal or planned snack), grab a drink of water ... and nothing else ... and go do a few stretches. And give yourself a pat on the back.

My latest 'trick' is to substitute carbonated water (i.e. Perrier, Talking Waters, Pellegrino, etc.) for soda pop.

Soda, cola, etc. even diet (some say especially diet) are real diet killers. And Perrier is so chic!
