that's my gem of wisdom for now...
sorry for the caps its my way of helping me to take my own advice.
and as my_name said accept yourself the way you are.... loosing weight wont happen overnight so start by learning to accept and even appreciate what you have... so that its not a matter of 'when im thin i will be happy' coz thats a load of bollox
oh yeah and TRY JOGGING its cheap and exellent for the body and the mind.
There is no set form for beauty; from Sophie Dahl to Liberty Ross, big is beautiful but skinny is sexy and all the other clichés I could mention on the way.
If losing the weight will make you happy then go for it. But if you're battling with your self image then it is not fair on you to put yourself through something that could destroy your body.
That said, eat veggies and fruit as snacks and instead of pudding. Cut down on fat but don't elliminate it from your diet and chat to your PE teacher about exercises.
also i have just been told this:
after any cardio-vascular exercise, dont eat anything for 2 hours...apparently while you are working out, your metabolism is using up
calories and when you stop working out your metabolism is still working so if you dont eat anything for 2 hours then there are no calories there, so burns up the fat.
this is what my sis told me about a guy she knows who does it to lose weight.
i dont know if it works i will have to try it.
good luck <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Many experts say around 2 litres is the optimum about to drink every day.
i drink water from pint glasses...
you can never have too much water

Are you sure? My physiology professor told us that it was perfectly safe to drink over a gallon of water a day as long as you maintained decent electrolyte levels.
He also said the more you drink the better because it makes your kidneys work less intensely.
SexyLouise,
Try doing a search. I've answerred this type of question a few times qnde i know that Alistair has done this a few times too.
In general, do what everyone else has said. Drink plenty of a water, find an exercise you enjoy and do it regularly, and try to cut out the empty calories-like soda or candy.
i always thought yoga helped you to loose weight but i realised that it gets you feeling motivated and relaxed enough to
wantto loose weight! kind of a brainwashing way of loosing weight but hey! if it works for geri halliwell, id love to give it a try! however i dont think i could stand all that talk of "relax and let your mind float away"!!! lol
Depends how much exercise you do.
If I drank 2 litres on an average day I would be seriously under hydrated. Some days when I'm training I will drink 4-5 times that.
I never said Sophie Dahl was overweight; just that you didn't need to be stick thin to look good!
The danger of loosing weight is that you can loose too much weight; Sophie Dahl is an example that you can be 'bigger' than the majority of models ('bigger' strictly in inverted commas) and be one of the most beautiful women around. She was voted model of the year in Elle last year.
I have watched a friend lose weight from a size 16 to a size 8, and to be quite frank, she looks ill now. My earlier post stated that when you lose weight, you should be sensible and not starve yourself otherwise it looks wrong.
Sorry if it looked like I was slagging anyone off - I wasn't!
