not all cereals are packed with sugar you know... like regular cherios and they ARE healthy for you because it lowers cholesterol.. i mean it works for my parents.

you could also go for another option like oatmeal. so many options.... cereal and american breakfasts are not boring or "ewww". i guess you just have to get used to it.

eating rice for all three meals of the day isn't that healthy. there are different types of carbs so you are just consuming one type so your body might not be able to digest all of it and your body may be holding onto the un-digested ones. causing you to not be able to burn it off unless you exercise.. alot.

I don't think there are anything wrong w/ rice. ALL cereals are sweet no matter how much or how little of sweet there is. I dislike eating sweet unless it's candy or desert. I dislike MILK too, so I can't eat cereal. I eat cereal as snacks (rarely), but not meals. Oatmeal is sweet too. I think it's fine. My portion is really small. I'm a really tiny girl. I think eating a bit of rice is less fattening than eating cereal. What is cereal made of anyway? Wheat? Oh yeah, don't take what I say seriously. It's kinda like an expression. I always get into trouble with what I say. I don't know what's the big deal against rice anyway. Apparently that's what all asian in Asia eats, and most asian aren't fat.

American breakfast: Bread with some kind of jam (jam is sweet) , bagel with some kind of spread (cheese is dairy) , cereal and milk ( milk is dairy) , pancake (greesy and sweet), waffle, and yeah all the syrup that goes with it, egg and bacon, sausages, ham. What else is there???

I think I'm not improving as fast as Geru is cause Geru is losing weight, while I'm toning up. I'm not trying to lose weight.

Sweet that's not fruit, Dairy, red meat, snacks, and big meals are what make you fat.

I find trouble in eating breakfast really early in the morning... Is this normal? Sometimes, I'd make myself eat a small bowl of cereal but I usually can't finish it, lol. Maybe I'm just not used to eating breakfast at 8am?

And the thing is, if I miss breakfast, I don't eat until 1.15pm at school...or have a snack at 11.15am. That's obviously too late, and yes, I do get pretty hungry if I don't have breakfast at all *dies* Should I just...try my best to eat breakfast anyways? lol

Hm, you know, blue_shoe does have a point, generally asian meals are healthier than american meals.

Today I'm doing so well even though I didn't have time to exercise.

Breakfast: 2 spoon full of rice, tiny bit of veggies, large vine of grapes and 3 medium size tangerines
Lunch: bit of rice, and VEGGGGIES, but I was really hungry cause it's nothing but veggies, so I ate a granola bar =[, wonder if that's ok, only 150 calories.
Dinner: bit of rice and VEGGGGIES.

done.

FINALLY, noticed some improvement, my stomach still have chunk of big rolls when I sit down but look a lot more toned when I stand up. YAY FOR BLUESHOE.

You seem to be cutting an awful lot of calories awfully quickly. Try decreasing your daily intake by ~500 cal/day. Cutting too much too quickly is bad for you. And if you're ever hungry (not appetite), please eat. Depriving and starving yourself when your body demands energy will actually work against you because when it feels starved, it tries to store everything you intake as fat, and that's the last thing you want.

[TOPK3]

i'm 16, 5'2-5'3 not sure but should be between there and i'm about 117lbs. Would I be considered over weight? But I know I have alot of muscles in my body cus I do alot excercises that builds muscles, for example: 200+ crunches/situps, 3-4min lunges or squats [how ever you call it], 300 [150 each leg] leg lifts that works the butt. I really hope to get to 110lbs. I always say to myself 'patience, patience, i need to be patient' in order to see improvements cus I'm impatient if I dont see improvements. Lol. I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast about 3/4 of a cup or 1 cup of multigrain cherios with fat free milk. For lunch sometimes I would have green tea with tapioca but I would try not to eat all my tapioca. Before dinner, I would have like a little snack then I do my situps and legs lifts, then for dinner I would eat a cup of veges and soup and a tiny amount of like fish or chicken or whatever that my grandmother makes. Then about an hour later I would eat some fruits. Then I would do some more situps. But on the weekends, I eat differently and it's just horrible. Lol. I would like eat at last one full meal.

Wieee~ You're my twin LOL, I haven't worn skirts in years too And yeah, I'm in the same situation as you. Jogging would help, or lots of walking. Doing cardio too

Blue_Shoe, like Brusky said, you really are cutting an awful lot of calories. Calories are calories, they don't necessarily make you fat, so please eat. I'm afraid that you're staving yourself more than losing weight

DAY SEVENTEEN (yesterday)
breakfast: 1 cup cocoa pebbles w/ 3/4 cup fat-free milk, 2 slices of lowfat wheat toast, banana
lunch: lowfat peanut butter w/ 2 rice cakes, 4 strawberries, sugar free pudding cup
dinner: 3/4 of creole tilapia fish, small cesar salad, dinner roll
snack: 100 calorie pack oreo crisps
liquids: diet root beer, diet coke, milk, water

exercise: 30-minute 1 3/4 mile cardio run
total calories burned ... 254 fat calories

yeah i'm writing this today because last night i was too tired/busy.

i took someone's advice and ate a big breakfast so i wouldn't get hungry later on... and guess what, i didn't. normally i get really hungry in 1st block at school, but my stomach wasn't even growling when i went to lunch. it was great. i also went out to eat.. i tried my best to eat healthy things, like the salad and fish. i could have done without the dinner roll though.

i'll write about today's when i get home from work.

[Rainie_Days]

I did like, lots of walking today, and I managed to sweat quite a bit actually when I got home

I must eat something tomorrow morning, seeing as I got sports in school before lunch >_<

Note to others: Better to eat something in the morning, especially if you're going to have sports at school, cos then you can maintain the energy for it, plus, it will save you from I don't know...fainting [if you're really weak], or just vomiting I guess. Happened to me once, and ehh, it wasn't nice

[blue_shoe]

You have to work on a workout machine. Or have some kind of device attach to you to do that.

Ohhhhhh. My sister has a workout machine. Maybe I should try using it.

[prechuz_azn]

Ugh I feel like crap lately, I haven't been exercising because
I've been having these stomach aches and everything I eat just gets pooped out
the second I'm done eating so I've been losing quite a bit of weight .
I hate it though because I don't feel like exercising because I'm so sick T_T

My friend said that it happened to her because her body was adapting to the exercising
and is clearing all the waste from my body ?_? I think that's hilarious.
That's not true right guys?

Anyway I'm at 105 lbs .

[c a t h e r s]

heeeeeeeeey people. so i havent worked out in like...a lil more than a week. i just went on the elliptical for 60 minutes but im not sweating that much. is this normal lol. maybe its cuz of the temperature....its really cold. hahaha.

[geruhjima]

DAY EIGHTEEN
breakfast: special k bar, 1 cup cocoa pebbles w/ 3/4 cup fat-free milk, lowfat wheat toast, half of a banana
lunch: 4 strawberries, 100 calorie pack peanut cookie crisps, lowfat peanut butter on reduced fat ritz crackers
dinner: tiny slice of reduced fat wheat pizza (didn't have time, had to work ;___;)
snack: handful of frosted mini wheats
liquids: milk, diet root beer, water

exercise: 45-minutes of spinning, 1-mile run, lightweight strength training
total calories burned ... approx. 500 calories

i didn't want to eat the special k bar, but i had to eat SOMETHING before i went to my spinning class. otherwise i would probably faint or something.. haha.

the spinning class is going good. i'm getting such a workout. there's a lot of sweat, and it's challenging, and my legs are so sore. but i know it will be worth it. cardio is great.

ALSO!!! i'm excited because i might be able to go running OUTSIDE tomorrow!! i really hope i can. running outside is so much better than the treadmill, but since it's been cold i haven't been able to. but it's warming up, so i may try running around my neighborhood in the morning. maybe 2-3 miles? running's getting a lot easier.
