I did track in middle school also.  Try to remember that people join track to have fun and do events they like.  So the first thing is to make shure you are having fun doing what your doing.  Second, is dedication.  Work hard during practice and practice even when you dont have to.  Get some friends together and do some laps or have your only little long jump compotition.  Hope those tips help.

I am a freshmen girl that ran xc and track. That is a really good time for an 11 year old. Personally, I think that is far too young to run at her best time. She seems committed though, which is great and will help her out a lot. Just tell her to push herself in practice, and it will definitely pay off, especially at the end of the season. I know this from experience, because I dropped from a 2:48 to a 2:24 in the 800 in one season!

I would recommend weight watchers, I joined and started at 203lbs. They teach you a lot and of course you are with a group of people that have a similar problem.I took it a step further.I walked to and from each meeting.So on the days of my meeting I walked 1.5 miles over and 1.5 miles back.so with that kind of inspiration by the end of six months I was down to 160.Put your heart into it and it will work.

Get some motivational tapes, or keep a list of goals in sight.  Also, it helps to create a routine.  Put a picture of something you want to reward yourself with, up somewhere so you can see something you are working toward.

try weight watchers....diet should be viewed as a life long eating plan...not just a short term program

Unfortunately I can totally relate! Walk! And give South Beach a try. A hobby would be good too, and not collecting Disney movies! :) I quilt-it gets me involved and you have to go shopping for material-which can take awhile :) and you have to get up and press seams and cut. Of course it doesn't solve the single problem. For that get involved-in everything! Charity work, clubs (try Meet-up.com), frequent a coffee shop with a book at the same time of day (Starbuck tall, sugar free, low fat, vanilla latte), take a class at your local college(do your homework-find a few classes that you would like and check out the classes attendees the first night in each one and sign up for the one that has a few candidates). The more you are out there the better chance of finding someone you feel like spending time with. Chin up!

Start of by walking regularly-brisk if possible.  Then move to a walk/jog rotation. Shoot for jogging constantly for 15 minutes, jog or walk to the point of being able to talk to someone, not out of breath.  Do this regulary(4-5 times/week). Try to incorporate lifting weights also.  Drink a lot of water and eat healthy!  DON'T take those stupid ephedra or other type of rapid weight loss crap. PLEASE. Also, if you can afford it, look into hiring a personal trainer, that's what we are here for! Good Luck!:-)

Weight watchers is great. I've seen a lot of great results from friends that have gone through it. That is the only plan I would ever go with.

Take up running! That will take the pounds off faster than anything else, along with proper diet of course. Don't be discouraged if you find running difficult at first. Work up to one mile over the course of several weeks (exact times vary, as everyone is different). Walk a bit then run a bit. Slowly decrease the amount of time you walk until you can run a full mile. Then start adding a second mile, etc. You will amaze yourself! For an even speedier weight loss, add in weight lifting. Even doing simple exercises with free weights (start with 1-3 pound weights and gradually add weight) can increase your metabolism considerable. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so it would behoove you to do what you can to build muscle if your goal is to burn fat. Eat lots of lean meat and veggies. Don't give up carbohydrates altogether, but cut back on them, and eat only whole grain breads. Also, don't eat processed foods of any type. Hope this info helps. Best of luck to you. Congratulations on the birth of your little one.

Stay where you are, see if there is a group outside school who is into it. If you love track, something will come up.

You could build a tracking device. Get a GPS chip and track whatever you want and use google maps to display where your tracker is. Or how about building your own Tivo. Or maybe build your own Ipod. Good luck.
