weight loss woes ...

[liuetenant]

wouldn't eating too much tuna...increase mercury? ?? not to mention, you'll get sick of eating canned tuna...go for the real stuff (once in a while of course...) or salmon?

salmon or tuna?

[Hutchoo]

Tuna in springwater for weight loss, kids.

No flavored tuna, kids

I know, dad!

[aes_999]

But coles tuna is so cheap...and tasty at 80 cents per can. I had around 10 or so cans a few days ago.

Whenever I go out to places I usually have my tuna cans and nuts stored in my bum bag.

And I'm not a muzza.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy because I'm keeping up my grades, commitments and home life (not gonna try and pretend I have much of a social life )
So...
Breakfast: banana, weetbix (1) with skim milk
Recess:apple
Lunch: tuna!!! Sometimes another protein - mostly out of the can but in bread if I have a test after lunch - helps me concentrate better/gives me more energy
Dinner: whatever Arab food my mum/grandma made - eat half the plate though! Arab servings 
Thats bout it
Exercise :
Treadmill 4 times a week for 45 mins - power walk/jog/run/jog again
Not much I know, but I'm a beginner

IMHO
don't try to go on some special weight loss diet,
eat healthy, eg fruits and vegetables (i just ate fruits cause who's gonna pull out some broccoli seriously) and drink lots of water.

it's vce, your studying should be of more concern, so just eat brain food and you'll probably gain exam weight from stress/depression/sitting down all day doing and only writing

after u finish vce, your sleeping pattern will probably eff up, you will wake up at 12-2pm, eat only two meals a day and with regular exercise, after two months, bam you'll have lost all that exam weight, barely lifting a finger.
this is what happened to me anyway

I know what you mean but honestly I feel great -my eating habits are so much more consistent and I'm always full. I know how to prioritise, VCE comes first and if this affects my study then screw it!! But, it isn't ....
I appreciate what you have to say (you sound like my mum LOL) but, I love fruit and have discovered a new like for tuna and weetbix! I still get a good dose of fat at dinner - before I study which is good and when I get sick of this food, I'll change it around and add some variety.
I want to get into good habits before next year so under exam pressure, its easy and just comes naturally

Mariammm, I am your mother

[Mariammm]

LOL! I almost believed you for a second!

[nemolala]

You're breakfast is that small! lol you make me feel bad- I have 2 boiled eggs on multi-grain toast smeared with vegemite, filled with some available vegies and home made beetroot dip dolloped on top.

Hey guys is it alright to eat fruit like...almost all day?

I enjoy fruit a lot so  I can eat it regardless of whether I'm full or not. And sometimes it'll be my lunch, but I would eat enough fruit to make me so full?

[nacho]

LOL! I almost believed you for a second!

Seriously Mariammm, go to bed or you'll wake up with dark circles under your eyes and then come crying to me.
Stop this weight loss shenanigans at once, are you doing it because of boys? Your mind better not be on boys right now Mariammm, no dating until you're 25

sorry, i should have been clearer, i just meant to make sure to include them if they lacked in your regular diet
