How can a 14 year old girl who weighs 163 pounds lose 20 pounds in 1 month?
TWENTY POUNDS IS a lot of weight to lose in four weeks. If you are intent on doing it, please follow some basic guidelines. (1) Don't NOT eat, starve yourself or skip meals. Starving actually slows down weight loss. Think of it this way: when your body stops getting food, it thinks it's stranded on an island, and immediately slows down the fat burning process to conserve energy and body fat. (2) Consume less calories (3) Increase your exercise. (4) Make sure the calories you consume are "quality" calories: protein, complex carbohydrates {not simple sugars}, fruit, vegetables etc... (5) VERY IMPORTANT- Eat frequently!! REALLY! Eat small healthful portions 5-6 times a day. This keeps your metabolism in high gear, and your "fat burning furnace" on high. (6) NO JUNK FOOD or FAST FOOD. If you stick to these suggestions, you will lose the weight you want to lose. Good Luck!! <<>>
go on the scarsdale medical diet! you lose a pound or more a day and it's EASY! look it up on google and it'll tell you what to eat. (only if you want to of course.) also, if you add exercise it'll go even faster. goodluck! by the way, im 14 too. :)
Was Juliette Gordon Low - the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA - poor during childhood?
Juliette Gordon Low enjoyed standing on her head. She stood on her head every year for her birthday!
She enjoyed the arts and would write and act in plays. She also played tennis and was a swimmer.
Juliette had two nick names. One was "Little Ship" because she was so much like her great-grandmother who had been nick named "Little Ship Under Full Sail" by the Seneca Indians who had captured her and later let her return home.
Juliette's other nick name was "Daisy". When she was born, her uncle exclaimed "That's a Daisy!"
There is a story about pulling taffy. One of Daisy's cousins thought the taffy was the same color as her hair so they braided the taffy into Daisy's hair. Since taffy is so sticky, the only way to remove the taffy was to cut her hair very short, which was not very fashionable for females in those days!
There are more stories about Juliette Gordon Low's experiences at the GSUSA web site. See Related Links for the link to Juliette's Biography and then click on the Interactive Video photo at the top of the web page.
