Try changing what you are eating. Try eating foods that are more natural and not just convienient for you. Mix your workouts up a little. Make sure you strengthen your "core" muscles (abs, obliques, back musclues) before you measure your waist! Try adding a swim workout in now that summer is around.

Cut back on calories for starters, you cannot lose fat without cutting back on calories. Then take up some kind of aerobic activity. I would suggest an elliptical trainer. Excellent low impact workout that will definitely tone your legs.

Cardio.  Run, walk, bike, whatever you can do to get your body moving and your heart rate up.  Don't worry about weights or anything if you just want to lose fat.  Weights only build and tone muscle, the fat will stay there.  As for diet, I've always believed that it's never good to go on a diet to lose weight (I've lived with an anorexic, and I've seen what happens when it gets out of conrol).  A diet cant be just a temporary thing you do until the weight is gone.  You have to change you're entire diet, and change it for good.  Try cutting out sweets, soda, anything with refined sugar.  Stop eating all the fast food (if in fact you do eat fast food).  Don't eat more than you need.  Eat to live, not just to eat.

135 is the perfect weight for you.  If you just want to tone up then join a gym and get into a weight lifting program.  Make sure your eating right. Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work to there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com  Bottom line is don't worry about your numbers, just be concerned that your body is functioning correctly and is getting all the nutrients, rest, and exercise that it needs. Good Luck!

Stop worrying about the actual weight you lose, you want to tone up and shed as much fat as possible.\n\nEat properly, small meals at least 5 times a day... low fat, high protein, low (not no) carbs, whole grains, lots of veggies.\n\nCut out all alchohol.\n\nDrink a lot of water, it, as well as the mini meals will boost your metabolism.\n\nWork out ... and with your cardio and weights.. do pilates, they will sculpt your body faster than just about anything, in combination with cardio.

diet and exercise. More of the latter though. \nRunning is really great for toning up, getting great legs and your tummy will look fabulous. You need to cut out all sodas, processed foods, typical junk foods, etc. Up your water intake, eat 6 SMALL  BALANCED meals a day and do at least an hour + of excerise each day.

1) Get a group of friends going. Everyone needs to lose weight. They will hold you accountable for your exercise, and together you can look at new and healthier recipes.\n\n2) Learn how to love yourself at any weight; more importantly learn how to love yourself naked. While it may sound odd and pretty perverted, if you can love yourself naked you can love yourself at any weigth. Be proud of you body!\n\n3) Don't depend on pills; depend on yourself. Learn to eat in moderation. Don't think you can do it? If you have a midnight craving, try drinking a glass of water. Many times when you think you're hungry, your body is actually thirsty. \n\n3) Exercise--even 30 minutes a day will make a huge difference. Start small, and don't push yourself too hard. You can't run until you can walk. Keep at it, and remember: don't give up. You will NOT see instant results.\n\n4) Set small goals and move on up. Don't start with a weight loss goal of 50 pounds in 3 months. Try 10 pounds in 1 month. That's healthy, and there's not as much pressure. Also, put up a new dress or bikini in the size you want to wear. That's your motivation. Everytime you wake up, you'll see that dress.\n\n5) If you need extra help, try Weight Watchers. In a study it was noted that WW had a higher success rate of losing weight and keeping it off. They now have a monthly pass that allows you to buy per month. You don't have to buy their foods to be successful.\n\n6) Remember: weight loss if a lifetime journey and change. You aren't going to change and lose weight over night. Allow yourself to make mistakes, but don't be discouraged. Eventually you'll learn that a bit of chocolate cake is just as satisfying as a huge slice. \n\n7) Alternate your exercises--don't just stick with one. Try a gym and take classes. Spice it up. Try a swim class. Try pilates. Do things you wouldn't normally do. I do a belly dance class and I've already lose 15 inches. Crazy how that works!\n\n8) Be healthy--losing 25 pounds in 30 days is NOT healthy. Aim for 2-5 pounds per WEEK, not per day. Remember: this isn't going to be a quick fix. You have to get your mindset off of that. Also, learn that your body may not be right for weight 110 pounds. If you weight 130, you'll be even more healthy. There is a point in every woman's body where the point of "too thin" is reached. \n\nGood luck, and DON'T GIVE UP!

That is a hard area to target for us women, but it can be accomplished by doing a combination of cardio and weightlifting.  Cardio will burn calories and weighlifting will help boost your metabolism and tone up your legs.  Both are needed to get the results you want.  Make sure you do exercises for all the muscles in your legs and buns--including squats, lunges, hamstring curls, sqeezes for your inner thighs and extensions for your outer thighs. \n\nDieting will also help you lose weight.  To lose 1 pound per week, make sure you are burning 500 more calories than you take in every day.  This can be done by increasing exercise, decreasing food calories or a combination of both things.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:\n\n*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.\n\n*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement. \n\nAvoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water. \n\nDo not try fad diets or diet pills.
