i have been trying to lose weight forever.
i am a chubby short girl.
15 years, 10-15 pounds overweight. i wanna lose about 10, and see how i look then. but i also really wanna get in shape for soccer season which is 2 months!
unfortunately, i haven't been able to lose weight!
i've always been active, buti even started going to the gym for the past 2 months, and nothing.
i eat pretty healthy (i know people underestimate the calories they eat, but i have kept track of mine, and it can't really be my calorie, so please don't say its that)
i drink plenty of water, and hardly any sugary drinks
i exercise, toning a few times a week, then cardio, normally 20-30 minute jog, and 20 minutes on the elliptical. i do this 3-5 times a week ( i have to depend on my dad for a ride there)
however, i have heard that it is important to get enough sleep.
ive always been a very energetic person who doesn't need much sleep.
i am a gifted student (not trying to brag, seriously), which raises my work load in school, as i am in a lot of advanced classes and have quite a bit of homework everynight.
i also have play practice durning this time and in the fall.
so, what i'm saying is im pretty busy with school activites, homework, going to the gym, caring for my horses, etc.
time i get home from school, go to the gym, play practice/etc./ eat dinner, do homework, and take a shower, it is 12-1 at night. i get up at 6:30ish.
some nights i am up later, but i am never in bed before 11:30.
however, i wake up in the morning feeling fine, i always have a lot of energy, i dont feel like i need more sleep.
i have even tried going to bed at 10 or 10:30 before, and have been exhausted the next dya.
i function better on 5-6 hrs. of sleep.
however, could this be whats keeping me from losing weight?
if so, help!
thanks for bearing with me.
