I'm a 16 yr. old girl and weigh 165 lb. at five feet, five inches. My BMI falls just into "overweight" or at risk for being so. There is a long history in my family of being severely obese, so for my own health and wellbeing, I don't want to fall into that trap.
I figured I would take multivitamins every day, and give up all drinks except water (that way I still get calcium, vitamin D, etc). Giving up junk food is a go-figure, but is going to be harder (with what I eat, I should be 600 lb, lol!). I could also start running some (my endurance is downright horrible, but I could build that up as I went along). I'm not SEVERELY overweight, so I'm only looking to drop a 15 - 20 pounds. Do you haver any more suggestions of what I can do, or is that a good enough plan for the amount of weight I hope on losing?
My best friend has anorexia, so I'm definitely going to avoid any anorexia behavior at all costs. I'm not too worried about that, FYI.
I wasn't talking about using the vitamins as REPLACEMENT foods, but as supplements to make sure I am getting all the vitamins I need, that I'm not getting from the milk and fruit juices.
