I'm entering a Biggest Losers contest @ Curves, anybody have some ideas....?

Best thing you can do is eat right. Eat a good breakfast, snacks should be fruits or veggies, and meals should be smaller portions.

I eat a bowl of Special K for breakfast along with an orange, usually eat apples, oranges or grapes throughout the day and pack leftovers for school lunches. Dinner can vary, but something small yet low-fat is always best. Keep away from fast food, even the salads at those places aren't as healthy as they say. Home made salads are better for you, and there's a lot of ways to make them. Look online, just search google for low fat food recipes.

Also, drink -lots- of water. I drink anywhere from 4-5 20oz bottles in a day, because sometimes when your body thinks you're hungry and you wanna eat you're actually just thirsty.

A workout is a whole different story. Consistency is the key, doing something every day. I do ten push ups and sit ups every morning when I wake and every night before bed, and after dinner if the weather is nice I go for a walk around my block. If the weather is bad I plug in some music and dance heavily for about an hour, but only coz no one's watching XD

Good luck, hope this helps and whatever happens don't give up. It'll be hard at first but the results are well worth it, I've lost almost 20 pounds doing this and I know I'll keep loosing as long as I stick to it.

avoid a "quick" weight loss. think a lifetime of new habits. the entire household must change, too. get rid of the TV, see your doctor for a full physical to ensure you're in good health, avoid processed foods, and start smiling more often.
