kids are 8 and 10
Answer
My daughters used to like things like string cheese, granola bars, cheese and crackers. Apples, oranges, tangerines, grapes, pears, carrot sticks. Pretzels, popcorn, they are low fat and high in fiber just get the low salt kind. These are the snacks that my kids liked and still do even though they aren't so young any more. They are 34.30 and 16 and they still snack on these items. IF you teach them good nutrition now they will most likely stick with it when they are older.

What is a good work-out plan to lose thirty to forty pounds in five months?

I weigh 160 lbs, 5'4. I've gained a lot of weight lately, and I want to burn the fat and tone my body in time for prom and the summer. Can somebody offer me a day-by-day workout plan that will help me reach this goal?
Answer
Nutrition is key in losing weight. I would aim for about 1300-1400 calories a day, strength training 2x a week, cardio 2x a week, 40+ minutes a day.
I am in the process of losing weight, I have lost 30 lbs in the last 3 1/2 months, here is a sample of my diet.
7:30 Breakfast: 1 1/2 plain oatmeal with 1 tsp maple syrup, 1 tsp. peanut butter, fruit, 8 oz skim milk (16 oz water)
10:00 Snack: sugar snap peas, carrots and almonds (16 oz water)
12:30 Lunch: chicken (cook a whole chicken ever Sunday and make strips for salads and shred some for sandwiches and stuff) sandwich with avocado instead of mayo, spinach and shredded cheese (this way I get the cheese I need, but you don't eat as much as if it were a slice), an orange, 2 celery sticks (20 oz water)
4:00 Snack: (kids are home) peanut butter on 1 slice whole wheat toast with bananas and honey, carrots, (3 parts) plain yogurt (1 part) vanilla yogurt with berries (usually frozen $$) (16 oz water)
7:00 Dinner: dark greens salad (usually a mix of romaine and spinach b/c they seem to be the cheapest) with chicken, Craisins, thinly slices apples, sliced almonds, fresh Parmesan cheese, and a couple croutons, 8 oz milk
I eat all my food on the smaller plates and I put away food before we sit at the table. I keep a party tray of vegetables cut up and in the fridge always. This is great for when you really wanting a snack but just want to reach for a bag of chips(which are not allowed in my house) because you don't want to prepare a snack. This is also great for kids or for when you decide to have a movie night or game night, your snacks are already prepared. Eat mostly whole wheat. Reduce sugars as much as you can.
Also try sparkpeople.com (they are a free website that you can input your weight, nutrition and activities in and it will give you a diet plan. It has been really helpful in my weight loss.
Here is an answer I wrote earlier today, it is not exactly tailored to your question, but there are a lot of tips in there...
You would benefit by eating a larger breakfast, medium lunch, and a smaller dinner. This way you will have the bulk of your calories in the morning and will be able to burn off most of those calories during the day. If you are just reducing calories, you are not really benefiting your body much. Exercise will increase your metabolism which will allow you to burn off calories at a faster pace.
Try eating foods that your body has to work at to digest. Carrots, celery, dark green lettuce, all of these foods (and many more) take about the same amount of calories (energy) to chew and break down the food particles, so by the time they pass through your body you have burned more calories than you ate.
Try drinking a water instead, or if you can't resist a small. The aspartame in the diet foods are not good for you and are not helpful in weight loss. It is very important to drink plenty of water. Without consistent and adequate water intake, your body thinks it is not going to have enough water for your body to function properly so it stores it. By drinking 50+ oz of water a day, in about two weeks, you will lose weight because your body will release the stored water that is has been saving (thinking that it's going to run out).
Also, your bones are growing still, milk and other foods rich in calcium and vitamin D are very important. If your bones are not getting enough calcium, they are not going to be as strong (more hollow, less dense) therefore, you will be more susceptible to breaking them, especially as you age!
Good luck to you, I hope this all helps!
