Hello 
I thought that joining a forum would help me in achieving my weight loss goal, as there'd be other people to keep me motivated and to give advice and share tips and tricks
I'm seventeen (nearly eighteen), female (if you couldn't tell by my username) and I currently weigh 69kg. I'm 168 cm's tall.
PS- I'm very sorry if you're in the US or UK and not familiar with the metric system..I'll convert it for you!
So.. outside of Australia.. I weigh 151.8 pounds and am around 5'5 tall.
I know that this places my BMI in a the 'normal' range, but there's a lot about my body that I'd like to change. I'd like to weigh 60kg by July 27th (my 18th birthday) and 50kg by December 25th.
That's a total weight loss of just under 20kg.. that's a lot of weight.
My current exercise plan is 1.5 hours in the gym every morning from 6.30 - 8 AM, and 40 minutes in the evening. On saturdays I'm at the gym from 7 - 8.30 and on sundays from 9 - 10.30 (an hour of that is a high intensity yoga class)
It would take me a long time to type out my exact exercise plan but it incorporates both weigh training and cardio, and stretching, and it's manageable. I'm really enjoying the buzz it gives me
My meal plan!
Breakfast:
1 small bowl oats w/skim milk
1 small glass of juice
Recess:
1 large green apple
water
Lunch:
1 sushi roll
OR
Carrot and celery sticks with hummus
OR
1 sandwich on wholegrain bread
OR
1 small salad
+ a mandarin
water
Afternoon snack:
2 oatmeal biscuits
1 small glass of fat-free milk
Dinner:
a small portion of whatever my mother makes (she's probably one of the healthiest women I know, and a brilliant cook- so no problems there)
After dinner: (when I tend to graze)
1 cup hot herbal tea (replaces hot chocolate)
I'd love some feedback, suggestions.. advice?
I'd also especially love to hear from anyone who's lost 20kg..
Is it achievable in the space of 8 months?
Thankyou,
Emmy. xx
