Weight loss questions and plan? | Weight Loss Helps

Question by ?love’s star;;?: Weight loss questions and plan?
If I start this diet tomorrow and end it in a month or two and will I/can I lose 10 to 15 pounds (5~7kg)? And, my last question, do you think I’d be getting everything my body needs? Should I take vitamins, eat a protein bar, and/or bump up the calories?

- walking 6 miles on saturday and sunday (I go about 4 mph)
- 1,000 skips on an unweighted jump rope each night
- eating 1000 to 1200 calories of fruits, veggies, lean meats (mainly tuna and chicken), and special K cereal (normal)
- basic stretches everyday
- no junk food, no soda (*cries* not even diet soda), nothing processed
- only drink water and tea (w/o any sugar, just plain ole’ tea, not exactly green though, just tea)

Info/stats:
Age: 15
Weight: 122~5 pounds (different scales say different things)
Height: 5’4?
BMI: 21.6
BMR: 1400-ish
Trouble areas: Butt and hips (Exercises to help these areas are needed. Suggestions?)

NOTES:
* I made this diet so I would eat well, do exercises that I won’t hate and not get bored and quit, no no need to menation getting bored with “such a limited selection of food”.
* I’m a small framed woman/girl, and as of now I do little to no exercise, so I’ve heard 1000 calories is fine to consume, I’ll bump it up to 1300-1500 calories (More?) once I get into my exercise regiment and keep it at 1000~1200 on non-exercising days.
*I do NOT, repeat, DO NOT want to go into this “starvation mode” thing I hear about, so please tell me if I will be going into it, so I can replan now!

* I know I’m normal weight. I know if I lose 10~15 pounds I’ll be 110 to 105 pounds (which isn’t really my goal, my goal is 107 (107 is still normal weight for 5?4' or another goal is when I look good and feel great). I’m aware of what I am doing and will stop if this diet makes me sick in any way, shape or form.

Thank you to everyone who gives a useful answer. : )

Sounds to me like you have done your research and that sounds like an aggressive yet sensible way to lose weight. As for if you are or are not going to lose 10 or 15lbs in a certain amount of time, well, that’s not possible to say I would suggest you aim to lower your percentage fat rather than your weight as it will give you a better indication of how well your regime is working. You are not substantially overweight enough to be able to measure by weight. Go for it! I get the feeling you will achieve your goals!
