QuestionQUESTION: Hello.
I am 5'6 female and I weigh about 200 pds. I know I need to loose weight and I love to be active i just dont understand why the weight is not moving.
I dont have a huge gut or anything, the extra weight seems to just be spread out everywhere, no one ever calls me fat or anything I just know I am not healthy like I should be.
I love to grill out, are there any foods that are healthier that can be grilled?
I also love to play tennis, its an everyday activity.
so why am I not loosing weight???

ANSWER: Kaylee,
First a few questions.
How old are you?
How long have you been playing tennis everyday?

QUESTION: I am 18.
I have been playing tennis regularly after college classes for about a year now.
But before that I played for high school so its a constant activity.
I usually play from 11:00 to about 12 or so.
I drink some water, probably not as much as I should.
About a large glass a day.
AnswerSorry I forgot to ask what you EAT on a typical day?
I am so sorry for all this back and forth.
One large glass of water is nowhere near the amount you should be drinking. I gather your urine is bright yellow, that is not a good thing. Your kidneys are working in overdrive as you are dehydrated all day long. You need 8 cups (2 liters) a day at minimum, especially with your activity. Believe it or not this will also help you lose weight.
