Breakfast - Cup of coffee, whole wheat biscotti

Lunch - Smoothie - 1 Banana, 1.5 scoops of whey protein, 1.25 cups of soy milk, 1 scoop of green vibrnance, ginseng, bee pollen

Dinner - Cheeseburger, sweet potato fries

Snack - Pretzels, blueberries

Vanilla Whey protein is 210 calories with about 52g protein per serving.

Mixes with anything but water. Tastes amazing. Go for it. Trust me.

Just be careful with lunges... if you do them incorrectly, you can wreck your knees. And I know, as a soccer player, that you cannot do optimal running with bad knees.

Hmm... Not really XD

I had a smoothie that had 1/3 of a banana and it had a scoop of this stuff called Green Vibrance. It's a bunch of vegetable powders and spirolina mixed together.

I also had a pack of carrots.

Oh... and onions. On some pizza.

Booyah.

I'm 17, 5'0.
Weigh quite a bit more though. Hahaha.

I've always been raised by this rule:
When you're 5'0, 100 pounds is good.
For every extra inch, add five pounds.

100 is a much more healthy goal.

And yes, I understand you want to take your ballet into account, but please hear me out. I've seen a lot of ballerinas. You guys are absolutely JACKED. It's going to be extremely hard to get down to your goal weight because you are extremely muscular. From what I understand, you need a lot of muscle to be really good at dance. You cannot maintain this muscle if you just desperately try to lose weight. I've had to do this for soccer.

My advice is to diet lightly and work out until you look good, dance well, and feel great- screw the number.

I am not an expert on the human body, but I went through what you are going through. When I was really *dieting* in the winter of my sophomore year, I was eating about 1500 - 1600 calories and working my butt off everyday. I stopped getting my period, and didn't get it for about 4 months (and the only reason I got it back was because I basically had a mental breakdown and started eating terribly high calories). It freaked me out at first, but I came to love it too.

I talked to my friend about it. She eats like a PIG, but she runs track year round and plays soccer, so she's constantly burning everything off. She doesn't get her period very often as a result.

It happens because our bodies know that we don't have enough calories in our system to support having a baby.

Is that a NATURAL/HEALTHY thing? No. But will it kill you? I don't think so. You can consult a doctor, but I can tell you I got mine back, and when I got it and talked about it, EVERYONE on this board at the time said "You're fine, it's normal."

I doubt you're gonna explode, and I doubt you'll lose the ability to babymake. I'd suggest eating maybe another 100 - 200 calories, or more, depending on exactly how much you undereat. Please eat enough to support your body you can live healthily. If you starve yourself, yeah, you can do a lot of damage to your body. But if you're just not eating a ton, and you lose your period as a side result, I don't think it's gonna do too much damage.

Remember, I'm not an expert though, I'm just a teen girl who didn't undereat and still lost her period.

Yeah McDonald's isn't that good for you. But don't be afraid to treat yourself once in a while. A treat won't kill you, even if its McDonalds. It's just a matter of controlling yourself, making up for it with a little excercise or a salad for dinner, and not turning it into a weekly habit.

I read Twilight a year and a half ago. It kinda got ruined when every teen girl realized how much it's their passion and how much they love love love Edward Cullen and this and that and the other thing.

I loved it a lot more when it was my own personal thing I could enjoy on my own. But that's how it works for everything, I suppose.

I, like many others, are annoyed with the "OMGZ I ate a carrot im going to get teh fat", but I feel bad with people who seriously hate their body so much that they starve themselves to death. It is a disorder, just like depression (which I myself posess, before anyone jumps on me for calling it a disorder) or OCD.

However, the way you make it sound is pretty unfair, because you're calling out several people who are healthy, but want to lose a couple pounds. I'm within a "healthy" range, but I would like to lose 5 or ten pounds to tone up. I think you need to understand that. I can see where you're coming from and see why you're angry, but tone it down a bit =)

EDIT - whoops, just saw your other post. I'm glad you saw how big of a trigger you pulled, and it's okay. I can understand where your frustration comes from.

Peanut butters fine, as long as you watch how much you have. If anyones freaked about having too much peanut butter, I have a suggestion. Let's say you would normally use 2 tablespoons on a sandwhich. Microwave one tablespoon so it spreads more easily and covers the whole sandwhich. There you go.

I won't lie, I really wished my parents hadn't allowed me to eat so much garbage when I was little.

I'm 16 now. I don't think it's necessary to impose a diet and excercise regime on this girl yet, it could lead to an eating disorder either. And I'm sorry that you grew up being the "fat girl" and the pain it caused you, and I'm proud that you are taking action and don't want your daughter to go through the same painful times. In my opinion, it's best not to really make any mention of eating healthy foods suddenly. Kids will freak out when you say "No more of this" suddenly and "More of this" suddenly. They don't know, they're kids.

Puberty is tough, but it's extremely important that you eat healthy during puberty, as it sets the bar for how healthy you can be when you grow up. I suggest just having healthy alternatives, and building on it slowly. For one night, have some fresh fruit for dessert and not cookies. For another, have non-breaded chicken instead of hamburgers. Kids are stubborn, but try and have her taste things on her own. If you give it to her at a natural and steady pace, eating healthy will come natural to her.

As for excercise, maybe you can try and interest her in joining a rec league for sports? If she has a friend who places soccer, why not suggest she join her friend and play soccer too? Maybe try a little miracle called Dance Dance Revolution, if you have a gaming system. Go biking or walking with her. Anything helps. Every little bit will help.

Breakfast - Two Whole Grain Eggo Waffles

I was rooting for Holland. UGH. I'm glad Turkey's out though. It was fun to watch an underdog, but the second their GK actually had the balls to punch that guy in the face, I lost interest in them. I'm a GK, Idk how you can be provoked into doing that.

But, *ahem*, if it's Germany vs. Russia in the final, I'm pulling for Germany, but if its Germany vs. Spain, I'm rooting for Spain.
