Answer 1

i don't think you need to lose that much, but maybe 5 or 10 lbs would make you feel better. can you go running after school? Or try situps at home. Keep in mind if you exercise and you don't eat enough, you'll just get hungrier later and end up gorging. plus granola isn't low fat or low calorie. i just lost 30lbs on weight watchers and the foods that really worked for me are: grilled chicken, marinate it in viniagrette dressings and put spices on top, laughing cow cheese, you can spread it on anything!, drinkable yogurt, no sugar added applesauce, cheerios in 2% milk, don't use skim, some fat from dairy products is essential in ridding fat from your body, low fat turkey lunch meat, light cheese and whole wheat bread. for more ideas check out the book: Eat this, Not that, here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Eat-This-Not-That-...

it will help you with modifying your eating habits! Good Luck!
