Im setting up a chart for myself to keep me from giving up on dieting, and I want to set up a reasonably high goal to aim for in terms of weight loss. What is a healthy amount of weight to lose in the course of ONE MONTH.
For extra details, im 14 (turning 15 in two months), I weigh between 164-170lbs, Im on my school swimteam in which we swim over 4000yds every practice (6 practices per week + meets on thursdays) and I also plan on fitting running for 15 minutes into my schedule at least every other day. I dont eat junk food or fast food, but I eat a lot of things like crackers and popcorn, which I will be giving up for more fruits and veggies. I dont eat much dairy, just skim milk, and I only eat whatever meat my parents cook (which is always healthy, since my parents are very health concious)
Some of my fat is probably also muscle (im a black belt in karate) and I also play a lot of DDR.
A lot of info to swallow, but any advice?
I also drink a lot of coffee (yes, I know how unhealthy that is for growth at my age ^^;), but I plan to switch that out with green tea.
