Best Panini Maker

help with losing weight?

okay for my birthday (just after xmas) i'm getting a bike. i thought it would get me out of the house and help get me fit and losing weight. so in the new year i'm going to be making an effort to lose some. my diet is pretty good i'd say. everyday for breakfast i have a bowl of muesli with skimmed milk. i am addicted to muesli. i'd eat it for every meal if i had th chance but i know everythings good if its not in excess. i usually skip lunch because i get a tenner a week to spend on food and at school theres not really anything healthy. i used to have a cheese panini (its not proper panini bread its white french bread with loads of cheese in it and grilled) theres either paninis, white pasta, or big white sub sandwhiches filled with cheese and all of that yummy (bad) stuff. but i gave up lunch because i quickly learned that i couldn't have muesli for breakfast AND a panini for lunch w/o putting on weight. when i get home i'll have a cup of tea (skimmed milk w/ 2 sugars) and a banana. i'll usually pick on stuff like apples (which i love) and maybe have a chocolate digestive with my cup of tea. i try and not overdo things like that. and if i feel the need to eat i'll drink a big pint of squash. for tea we often have stuff like potato wedges with lots of olive oil on them and quorn fillets with lots and lots of vegetables. or white pasta again. or vegetable chili. all of which aren't too unhealthy. so basically if you count up my daily intake of calories (i count everything i eat and i have done ever since i got rid of being so silly and over the top about eating things) i usually consume between 1200 - 1600 each day. what else can i do to lose some weight? thanks! :)

1. u can go to the gym or do exercises at home, like sit-ups, push-ups. u can also take a long walk or go jogging and when u get that bike, ride it as much as u can! if u eat healthy(like u do now) and exercise everyday, u will lose weight!
2. I think the first thing to do is start eating lunch! A lot of people don't realise, but by eating more, your metabolism gets faster, and you will burn fat quicker. I know this may be hard as you go to school, but try to get 5/6 really small meals a day, as this will speed up your metabolism a lot. Cycling is very good, as is swimming. Try to get about 15-30 mins a day of exercise a day, or if not, do some whenever you can. Aerobics is good because it builds up your heart and lungs and it's great fun with a few friends. Good luck!
