Nicholas Sparks, Francine Rivers, Mary Higgins Clark... they all have some pretty good books...

Okay, according to one of those calculators I need 2,400 kilocalories (calories?) a day. I find it really hard to stay under that amount! Especially with how crappy school lunches are, and the healthy content of the dinner that my father prepares.

curalium_lacrimo.... this source is reliable for what I need.. I am supposed to conduct a survey.. sure, people can lie, but they could lie if I asked people on the streets.... also, I have research from other areas.. this isn't my only information. the paper is for English.

I need way more responses!!! c'mon guys!

Really? I am never motivated to start running once I come home. That is why I usually run at school.. rain or shine. I had a pretty bad day today. 2412 Calories burned, 2381 consumed... why does ti have to be so hard! I even ate well until dinner.

 Breakfast: Raisin Bran, Coconut Cream Pie Yogurt, Orange juice, Applesauce

Lunch: Bottle of water, cinnamon raisin bagel

Dinner: Split pea soup with ham hock, Grands Reduced Fat Biscuits, 1 glass skim milk

Desert: 1/4 cup Tillamook Mudslide Ice Cream, 1/4 cup Tillamook Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, little bit fo blackberry syrup, and a few chocolate chips

I do well at school, but after I run, I fall apart... gahhhh! Frustration!

I want to lose 40 pounds.

 

Tip:

My doc just told me that one of the most important things in weight is to eat your biggest meal of the day at either breakfast or lunch and your smallest at night. He said that people try not to eat right before bed or whatever because they think their metabolism is gonna go down, but actually he said they just dont know that your metabolism is already waaay slowed down by like 5, so he said dont have your carbs after that.

Also he said to avoid "low-fat" foods because he said theres only three things, protein, carbs, and fat, and what do they replace the fat with? carbs, because protein is too expensive. he told me to eat full fat yogourt and the rest of the stuff too.

Also he said, just sitting there burns 17 calories an hour. you know how much running does? 34!! thats all. and walking? more than a hundred! he says running is good if you want cardiovascular etc, but for weight loss, he says the best exercise you can do is walking.

lol sorry had a long talk with the doc yesterday, I've got a wealth of info to share. He's been a weight loss guru for 10 years.

 

OH also other interesting fact: he says in general, the first place a women loses inches with weight loss is her breasts, the LAST is her hips. Sucks eh?

running burns around 600 calories an hour, not 34. if you run a 10 min/mile pace, you burn about 100 calories/mile. running and walking are both good for weight loss, but running burns more calories and gets you in better shape.
