I’m 5’6 and 156 lbs and my goal is 140 by May 25. I need suggestions on how to loose weight. I can stick to a strict exercise routine but I am not very strict with my diet. I can stay away from non-healthy food but I’m always hungry and all I ever want is ramen noodles and cereal (Special K, Natures Grain, Shredded Wheat).

My normal routine:
BREAKFAST: cereal, 2 cups coffee, lots of 2%milk
LUNCH+DINNER: cereal or a package of ramen noodles
SNACKS: grapes, bananas or toasted wheat bread w/ PB
DRINKS: 1-3 cups of coffee 3-5x a week and lots of 2% milk. I hate water but I try to force myself to drink it.
EXERCIZE: crunches, AbRoller, jump rope, exercise bike or run for 30 minutes at least 3x a week.

What can I add or take out of my diet or exercize routine? What can I do that is effective enough for me to lose 16 lbs before May 25? I am open to an suggestions. Thank you very much!

I am on a diet. I eat breakfast cereals such as special k and coco pops for most meals like breakfast lunch and dinner. I also eat alot of wheaten bread. I don’t know what other foods to eat because I don’t really want to eat just vegetables and fruit all the time. What other foods could I eat for meals that are healthy and prefect for dieting?

I am completely outraged at the marketing of Special K as a fitness and weightloss product. And women love it! They eat it by the tons!

My problem is the following:

354 calories per 100 grams, no protein, no fiber, what it DOES have is sugar! 29%! That’s three times as much as soda, and 4% more than chocolate!

So what would you rather eat for breakfast? The above? Or pizza, which is almost the same amount of calories, but full of vitamins, minerals and protein?
