Some quick and easy get fit tips-\n\nWhen you go to work, the mall, the grocery store, always park in the last spot. Not only do you save the hassle of looking for a spot, but you get alot of extra walking in.\n\nNever use the elevator. Unless you live in Manhattan, of course. If you worked where I do, you'd never use the elevator anyway, cause people get stuck in there all the time.\n\nKeep bottled water on you at all times! If it's there, you'll drink it. You should be refilling that thing about six times a day!\n\nGet other people on the bandwagon, your boyfriend, or your coworkers. They'll guilt you into working out when you don't feel like it.\n\nSwitch all your grains to whole grains. Mr. Whineybutt will get used to it. Switch your dairy all to skim and fat free. Be sneaky and pour the skim milk in the whole milk container if you have to, he'll never notice the difference.\n\nKeep lots of quick healthy snacks around the house and keep those by the stove while you cook. By the time dinner is done, you can just sit down and drink a cup of tea while everyone else eats their fat. Healthy snacks are the easiest snacks, I don't know why more people don't eat them. Raw veggies, fruit, fat free yogurt, cheese, nuts, dried fruits and berries, whole grain cereals, etc.

Eat tuna for low fat protein, lots of crunches and situps, and don't forget tons of cardio to burn that fat. Ease up on the carbs, too.

STAY AWAY FROM FRIED FOODS, CHEESES, PNUT BUTTER ETC AS THESE ALL HAVE OIL. \nOPT FOR WHITE MEAT AS OPPOSED TO RED MEATS. EAT LOTS OF FRESH VEGGIES AND SALADS.

avoid exercises that result in repeat impact to your knees: jumping, running, jogging, etc. Try using an elliptical where you never remove your foot from the surface and you are using your thighs and calves. \nDespite the advice you may get about using weights or floor exercises, it's better for you to do cardiovascular exercises than to do things that will build up or tone muscle- you don't want big thighs right? You want to burn fat and maintain a healthy heart so stick with the cardio work up that will avoid further injuring yur needs. Swimming is great but not readily available. If you have access to a pool year round (and don't mind ruining your hair)- go for it! Otherwise, Try the elliptical.

It depends on the diet you pick. Any form of low carb or low glycemic is effective. Either way you go, no trans-fat, sugar or white flour.\n\nAs for exercise do mostly weight lifting and a little cardio. Do some interval training when you work up to it.

You better be drinking plenty of water. If you dehydrate as a result of this intense routine you are doing, then you will become very sick.\n\nNext, you have to eat properly. A large breakfast with lean proteins, like egg whites (no butter, no mayonnaise, no bacon, no margarine) or turkey breast would be preferred, along with some whole grain bread (do not eat whole wheat bread). You can have 6 - 8 oz of fresh fruits with it.\n\nA breakfast like this will significantly reduce your appetite for the rest of the day, and, it will cause you to burn calories.\n\nSupersnacks, like half a banana with a teaspoon of peanut butter, are highly recommended. Other good snacks are a handful of pumpkin seeds, one 6 oz fat free yogurt (calcium helps you lose weight), or a small salad of fresh vegetables flavored with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is an excellent choice.\n\nFact: pumpkin seeds have a unique chemical makeup that not only promotes the removal of excess fat, but hydrates your skin with oils. It works as well as facial moisturizers.\n\nFact: vinegar has the odd property of interacting with your stomach's digestive chemicals in such a way as to make you feel fuller than you really are.\n\nBreak up your cardio routine: do the elliptical runner one day, the stationary cycle another day, and treadmill it the next day. Get in a group cardio class and to further break it up, do a very brisk 60 min power walk. This way, you won't get bored: your mind is restimulated by a change of scenery, as well as your body.\n\nFact: sweating. Underrated. You are burning calories galore when you get a good sweat on: low intensity cardio routines burn fat better than high intensity cardio routines. This is because high intensity cardio routines require quick energy, which is provided by carbohydrates because it is easier for your body to process them, but carbs are in smaller quantities in your body than fat. Fat is harder for your body to break down, but is a great energy source, so, lower intensity cardio burns that excess fat right off of you. And, sweating hard will detoxify your body. You will improve your complexion tremendously.\n\nDo not eat food after 6 pm. Chrono-metabolic processes start to slow down as our bodies prep for sleep. Food takes longer to digest and won't be digested as well. You will wake up in the morning feeling hungry, which is good because I want you to eat that large, balanced, healthful breakfast example I mentioned.\n\nDo not rush weight loss---bad thing to do. Let your body do it at its own pace. You have a lifetime of a particular nutritional habit that your body doesn't want to give up, so go easy on yourself, be kind to yourself, set a realistic goal, and you will enjoy the lifetime of benefits from your very hard work.\n\nAnd, hang out with other people who have similar health goals. Surrounding yourself with people who are positive and upbeat about what you are doing is some great motivation.\n\nI don't know how long it will take you to achieve your fitness goals, but be realistic. You will be kind to your soul, you won't get discouraged, and you will be successful.\n\nPeace by with you ! ! ! !

What do you know I just answered a similar question so I'll just cut and paste:\n\nFrom one who is currently losing weight to another and have some friends in the exercise/dietcian/medical areas, let me give you some advice:\n\n- each person is different when it comes to losing weight, because of the variety of factors involved: lifestyle, exercise, metabolism are some main ones.\n- never starve yourself purposely - the aim is to eat well, not little.  Starve and you will only store fat but lose muscle, which plays a major role in fat burning.\n- count your calories - losing weight involves using energy (calories or kilojoules) when you're eating. Fat Free foods can be deceitful as they may be high in calorie but low in fat.\n- become a gym junkie (like me!) I focus on cardio training which burns calories (If you know about the gym classes, I recommend BODYPUMP as that is renowned for burning a substantial amount of fat) and also strength exercises like yoga and BODYBALANCE to tone and strengthen muscles.\n- Be patient - there is never a fast way, but many successful ways and its up to you to find out which suits you best.\n\nI've been eating healthy, cutting down on late night snacks and venture to the gym average 3 times a week and have lost five kilos in the space of 4 months. Good enough for someone my height and weight. \n\nGood luck!!

It depends on what you weigh.  Stop drinking anything besides water, and drink as much of it as you can.  Eat 5-6 times a day small portions of food that are low calorie/low fat.  Stay away from carbs eat mainly veggies and meat.  This should to it combined with exercise.  For exercise you need to get your heart rate up at least once a day if not more.  You can go to the gym or just turn some music on at home a dance while you clean or something.

If you're going to the gym anyway, then I'd recommend cutting back on your cardio to maybe 30min each visit (but make sure you're working hard enough to sweat profusely), and replace the other 30 minutes (or so) with weights (30min) and stretching (5min or so).\n\nFor the cardio portion, consider 2 machines for 15min each, but skip the cycle entirely.  go with treadmill, rowing (if available), and elliptical.  Do the elliptical or rowing first, and 'warm up' for the first 5 minutes.  5min 'cool down' at the end is plenty before you move on to the weights.   The stretching at the end is when you completely cool down.\n\nCheck out "Hot Point Fitness" for suggestions on all specifics for cardio, weights, stretching.

Exercise in gym would be a good solution,but beware,you might end up building the parts that is already nice,you'll look bad either.To prevent that,MAKE SURE you get advice from professional.But the side effect is you might become fat if you stop the activity.\n\nThe hardest thing to do is changing eating habit. Eating habit is quite essential,you need to sacrifice something to get another.you can't eat twice in a big quantity, eat in little quantity but many times. Eat only when you are hungry. Chew as many times as you can. The stomach takes about 20minutes to send signal that your stomach is full,so stop before your stomach full.
