I'm a swimmer so I already have PLENTY of strength and muscle. I'm 5'5 and weigh 137lbs and I'm16 years old. I'm trying to reach my goal of loosing 15 pounds by August 10th (Cross Country Season begins)... Anyways, I've been trying to diet but that not working well. I've been attempting to start jogging but when I jog alone I just don't have any motivation... Does anyone have any sugestions on how I can readch my goal of 122lbs by then?

Ever tried on getting exercises that would magnify your strength as a swimmer? lifting weights and doing targeted exercises for a sport does wonders for your performance. :) yeah. up the cardio, since you're a swimmer, you'll need it for endurance. -------------- The best victories are won not by adversity and brute force.

The coach said that she prefers that we stay down to about 125 lbs at my height so I'm trying to get down towards that. My diet.... hmm..... I usually don't eat breakfast because I get up kind of late around 11 am and I exercize around then and by the time I get around to eating its lunch time. I usually have a sandwhich, with either some sort of meat on it. Dinner consists of meat, vegetables.... thats about it for meals.... I usually have a snack somewhere in their that is usually something like a cup on pretzles, crackers. or a peice of fruit.
