New Morning Routine/More Exercise

DerekP · 09-23-2008, 08:03 PM

I've been really wanting to lose weight for some time... I'm 179lb and I'm 15 (5'11 if that matters lol)... I know that's unhealthy, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands.

Right, so I've decided that I'm going to go to sleep at like 9/10 so I can get up at 6, then go out jogging/running for about half an hour/an hour. I'll come back home, take a shower, have some breakfast (which I never used to have lol) then head off to school.

Does that sound enough, or do I need to do more exercise? I'm also going to not eat anything when I get home from school except apples, bananas, basically fruits. And water.

Would this be too hard to adjust to?

Thanks for any replies.

if you're disciplined and determined it wont be hard to stick to, you said you won't eat anyting when you get home from school, do you mean for the rest of the day or just right when you get home?

That weight is not unhealthy for your height if you have a good body fat percentage. I mean I am 5'11 and weigh 187 lbs, but I have a lot of muscle. So it depends.

But anyway your diet sounds bad because you cannot live off of fruits and water. Add lean meat, bread, milk and eggs or something like that to your diet. Definitely have breakfast every day and make sure you eat enough per day and don't try to starve yourself.

If you jog or run for an hour in the morning you are sure to lose some weight. Also I would recommend doing a weight lifting routine after school because the more muscle you have the faster your metabolic rate at rest.

No, I mean I am going to have meats and some fish and stuff during lunch and dinner (I couldn't not eat meat lol), but I'm just going to cut down on how much I eat. I'll try some weight-lifting. Maybe go to the gym too... :P

And Doolie, I mean just until dinner. I may have a few bites after that, but I usually don't.

you need all the food groups or else it wont work out.

That wieght doesnt sound that bad but if you are really concerned about your weight do maybe one day a week at first then build up or you will be too tired at school to do anything.

Sausages are good if your trying to build muscle. I have been aiming to get a six pack over the last month and a half - haven't got there but my stomach is more solid. Definatly eat sausages - I have them at least twice a week.
