I was always active in school sports until this year. Now, I'm almost 200 pounds and I'm disgusted with my body. My boyfriend doesn't have a problem with it but I do. Any suggestions on how to lose weight relatively quickly? Please help

Hey there! Everybody, even that size 2 girl in homeroom, has issues with their body. There are days when I feel enormous next to my friends or can't stand my muscular legs...you name it, I've felt it. Lately I've been using Zumba Exhilirate to get in a fun workout as often as possible. I love it! I run track in school twice a week and do Zumba for around 40 minutes to an hour every night. It tones your abs and has been helping with my weight loss efforts. I bought it off of Ebay for about $30 cheaper then what it is advertised for on TV. I look forward to the cool music and the dancing of it.
Now, along with fitting in a workout that YOU enjoy 4-6 days a week, you would also benefit from a healthy eating plan. Starving yourself is NEVER the way to go. Slimming down is all about choices, for instance, having 1 slice of bread at a restaurant without butter instead of filling up before your food even arrives, choosing to grill chicken instead of frying it, buying nonfat instead of full fat foods...etc etc.
If you are having trouble making healthy diet choices, try some of these ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks:
BREAKFAST: (choose 1 meal)
* Nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt loaded with berries and topped with some dry cereal
* Whole grain toast w/ peanutbutter and sliced bananas
* Kashi Go Lean cereal (the red box with 140 cal and 13 grams of protein) w/ fat free milk or soy milk
* Instant Oatmeal with sliced fruit on the side
LUNCH:
*Turkey, low fat cheese, lettuce on whole wheat 100 cal sandwich thins w/ raw veggies and a light hummus dip, plus nonfat yogurt
*Select Harvest soup (has around 90 cal per serving) with fresh fruit and a half cup of homemade trail mix (raisins, dry cereal, almonds)
*Personal All-Veg Pizza: Take a flour torilla or some pita bread and spread tomato sauce over it. Arrange your fave veggies on top, like mushrooms, peppers, or onions, and lightly sprinkle low fat cheese on top. Bake it in the oven at 400 degrees until the cheese has melted.
SNACKS: (always eat a snack about 2 hours before dinner that is high in protein to prevent you from overeating later on. If you are hungry a few hours after breakfast, eat something light to fill you up, don't eat an entire meal. Aim for about 45 grams of protein a day.)
*Apples and 1 tblspoon peanutbutter
*Wheat Thins Fiber Select crackers w/ 35 cal Babybel cheese wedge
*1 lowfat mozerella cheese stick with thin slice of turkey wrapped around
*Cup of edamame beans, lightly salted
DINNER:

Be kind to your body and don't stress out! I suggest visiting a nutrtionist to discuss a more thorough meal plan that is right for YOU.
Good luck! ;-)
