Man this stuff is harder then it looks. :argh I'm on the second day of a 7-day diet plan (Which i will be repeating until i'm satisifed). Its tougher then most people think. Yesterday i ate nothing but soup and fruit. today its veggies and soup.. and then tommorow i can eat fruit again (Which sucks because i bought like a $7 platter of watermelon, cantelope and honeydew and it expires tommorow :( )

but oh the brightside, i do get to eat a baked potatoe for dinner tonight! but yeah...i can't even eat meat until thursday and friday! But so far it looks like i may ahve lost a couple pounds so hey it might be working. and thas with no exercise... today i start the exercise :d

My sister is doing that too, but she doesn't eat meat at all. She kinda got me hooked on eating healthy now, but I still do enjoy a cow now and then.

I'm on a diet also... I try to stick between 1500-2000 calories a day. I also try to excersize as much as I can, but do so mostly by either playing baseball or walking trails with friends. I'm down close to 40 pounds since late feb or early march...

You can still eat alot of food if you watch your calories, things like fat free pringles, low calorie bread, diet soda, and replacing your desert with apple sauce helps alot....

My wife and I both are on a diet but it's hard for us because I'm on a diet to help control my blood sugar and I need to gain weight where she is dieting to lose weight. I must say though that I feel a lot better since I started eating healthier and I think I can honestly say it's made me a better husband and father. I have been doing the Zone diet

Yea dieting sux.

I went with the, "stop drinking soda and so much junk food and start riding more often" diet. Ive lost 13 lbs since march. Not a huge amount of weight, but still...its something.

Yeah i quit drinking soda, maybe once a week now. same with junk food... only bad shit i've been eating in the past few months are skittles and mcdonalds. but i'm starting to get more serious. But when all you've eaten is fruit and veggies for a full day, working at mcdonalds is hard to keep a serious diet. i think i've been under 1000 calories a day though. The soup has almost none, and almost everything i've eaten has been good calories (all the frutis and veggies), instead of a bunch of empty calories from bad food. i just hope this one works :P if i can get my body fat down low enough im probably going to join the navy and go from there... i'm unsure about what i want to do in college right now.

Yup I'm on a diet. To gian weight though, I need to get be getting like 3500-4500 calories per day.

It's a lot easier said than done. I'm naturally a skinnier build.

Wait til you get to college. Your "naturally skinnier build" will soon diminish. I weighed 165-168 from 10th grade all the way thru my freshman year of College (i still rode and lifted weights frequently). By the end of my college career, i was up to 192. Im now down to 179 (last time i weighed was a week ago). It sux getting old :help:

Gain weight by lifting weights. The increased calorie intake will follow (you'll be a hungry mofo).

Yea. When dieting, make sure you watch your caloric intake. Make sure it doesn't dip to far down, but make sure the calories you do get are ones with nutrients and not crap. A weight program is necessary for anyone and everyone, whether on a diet or not. After you turn somewhere between 21 and 25, you start losing muscle at an alarming rate. A simple weekly weight training plan and healthy eating can get you far in life.
