sharkiechik added an entry about lose weight : So I’m taking summer classes and the dorm I’m staying at in college, isn’t really far away from the recreation center. So I’m going to try to go to the pool AT LEAST 3 times a week and exercise. I’m going to swim! And I’m going to eat healthy! I just discovered that my tastes in food has been maturing and changing. I tried a RAW carrot with ranch dressing the other day and it was actually good! So I’m going to start to eat healthier now that I actually can!

For millions of American children and teens playing sports, good nutrition is critical for maximum health, performance and normal growth. Yet, with all the information available out there, it's becoming harder than ever for a young athlete to filter truth from myth, and detangle the good from the bad and the ugly, says Amanda Leonard, M.P.H., R.D., a pediatric sports nutritionist at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

The middle school years is the time when time kids spend begin to spend less time in physical activity, a growing concern as youth obesity rates rise. A new study of middle school girls shows that after-school programs, in addition to school physical education classes, may be one answer to reducing obesity in teens.

Study findings presented at the May 2008 Pediatric Academic Societies and Asian Society for Pediatric Research Joint Meeting indicate that childhood and adolescent obesity negatively impacts vascular endothelial function, which relates to cardiac health.Obesity has been increasing rapidly in the U.S. during the past 20 years and obesity in adults has been linked to cardiovascular disease.

lostdusk added an entry about lose weight : I do wish my mother would relate to my wanting to eat healthy. the meals she cooks are generally fine, but she insists on doing a roast on a sunday and it brings out many arguments between us. Then there’s the fact she gets angry when I don’t eat the dessert she made, but instead eating yoghurt and fruit. I actually think I have deeper issues with food than meets the eye, but at the moment they are bubbling well below the surface only breaking it very very occassionaly. So I am not going to be concerned yet.

MissAlexis added an entry about lose weight : For the last 6 weeks i havent been watching what i’ve been eatting at all!! i have just been out at the park more, which means, more walking, more football, more messing around, which always means….calorie burning :) I have so far lost 10 pounds just for going out more, I have been eatting loads of rubbishy foods (not as many i admit) but i havent exactly been eatting a balanced diet as such. So at an adverage ive been losing a pound n half every week. Not bad!! :D

stronglady added an entry about lose weight : so i went to two parties yesterday and i took my own food. everyone else was so busy stuffing their faces that they didn’t even realize i was eating something totally different. i even resisted cheesecake and it was suprisingly easy!

Malificent added an entry about lose weight : At the end of today I will have successfully been on this diet for 3 days. I’m planning to eat around 1400 calories a day with 200 calories exercise to lose about 1.5lbs a week, which I’ve been told is sensible (I don’t wanna put it back on afterwards!) I’ve also been told that the first few days of any new routine are the hardest so I’m feeling good about this start :) Bit worried about the coming working week though, I reckon that will make it harder to stick to this and as some nights I stay away from home to avoid the daily commute I won’t be able to control what I eat/exercise so easily :(

lenm added an entry about lose weight : So I started my diet last Monday 05.05.08..Im not following anything in particular, just limiting what i usually eat. Today I feel a bit lighter – Im know its just a couple of pounds but its nice not to feel full all the time. I gained 15lbs in 2 years. And I want to lose it.
