I have realized that I am very obese, therefore, I have decided that I need to lose some fat. I wanna try eating cereal for breakfast, snack at school (Not junk or anything), Lunch (Salad), and then another snack ( or I can skip this) then Dinner. I just don't know how to make a salad ._. . I haven't touched vegetables in years, and I know I have to start again. So, besides the greens, what else should I put in it? I might put ranch dressing, might not because I know how fattening it is. I'm also 5'2 and 130 pounds.

i think as long as you exercise and eat right you'll be okay it might take a year or two for you to be where you want to be though just so you know, dont quit just because change isn't immediate, red my comment above on better eating ^

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com/teenworkout.htm For now. When I lose enough fat, I'll do something more strenuous for muscle gain.

don't forget cardio ! if you just lift weights you will just build muscle under fat which will make you look even bigger ! you need to run or do some sort of cardio excercise

Shrimp? It's great and healthy if prepared right. Also instead of using a store bought dressing why not make your own?

[/quote] You'll need to run/jog(treadmill if you have one). Cardio->very effective way of burning fat. WHile you do your scooby's workshop thing and run/jog, you'll burn fat and build muscle. Also listen to Disneos, 4 posts above.

Olive Oil with Dijon mustard and some lemon juice <-- vinaigrette Then toss some greens with red onions for sweetness and get some sliced chicken breast

Ideal salad: IMHO Salad: Romaine, iceberg, any kind you like. Spinach. Sesame seeds, toasted or not. Dried cranberries. diced onion or pepper. Slided carrot. Some walnuts or almonds(optional) and for dressing use a little olive oil and vinegar, maybe the squeeze of a lemon wedge if you like. That's about it for a basic salad Some extras you could toss in: Dice apple(WITH PEEL) Orange slices, a piece of broiled or grilled fish. A lean piece of chicken. In my preference, i don't usually put meat in it(i'm a vegetarian so LOL) but if you're going to eat a salad Imho, it seems to defeat the purpose of eating a salad which is why the nuts and seeds are there Also, you DON'T have to skimp on salad. Have as MUCH as you want, portion your toppings but you have as much leafy greens as you'd like :D Also, its important to use wholesome, fresh ingedients. By this I mean, avoid things that are processed or have been sweetened as these contain the most "Bad" calories. Organic is also nice! . Just to give you an idea, when you see in the supermarket they sell a bag of "spring mix" lettuce and it already has all the various components in it, STAY AWAY. You may not think but its actually not all that good for you. Buy your ingredients in their natural, unaltered state, and asemble it yourself Gl to you. P.S you really aren't that over weight o.0 I'm sure you could lose maybe a few pounds but I'm 5,4 110lb so you seem pretty good .
