I'm trying to lose about 76 lbs by my birthday (9/16/07), how should i do it? I'm 16 and weight 216lbs.

I just started my weight loss plan yesterday and so far its been going well. But next saturday i'm going to boston for a lacrosse tournament and i know we are going to be eating out, then on 7/29/07 my family is going 2 orlando for a week. How can i keep loosing weight during those 2 outings?

I am also considering starting weight watchers too, how is the program and how does it work? if i don't do weight watchers, what are some great foods that i can keep in the house?

Also, what are some great excersises for loosing love handles, tummy, and thigh fat?

How will i look after loosing all that weight....extra skin, stretch marks???

Even if i don't lose that much weight by my birthday, THAT'S MY GOAL FOR WHENEVER!!! i know it would be hard, very hard to lose all that but i'll try and do it healthy.

Luckily you weigh enough to where it is somewhat easier to lose a large amount of weight in a short period of time. In your first two weeks alone, you can lose 20-30 pounds. After that water weight is gone is where the problem is. Its easy to gain water weight back. Stay away from too much salt because it retains water. I recommend working out and using weight watchers because they teach you how to eat and you don't starve. Good luck!

Oh, weight watchers gives you a certain amount of points per day. I am on 18 points so I have to eat at least 18 points a day, each week I have 30 extra to do whatever with. I can use them or not- but they can't be saved. Only 30 per week. It really helps put things in perspective. 3 mini- bite size snickers are 6 points. You start to think, are 3 snickers really worth it?
