1. Start with a positive attitude.\n2. Research and access your body to see if you really need to lose weight or just tone up.\n3. Have a realistic goal. Aim for 1-2 lbs. per week.\n4. Set up a basic diet of fruits, veggies, lean meats and a little dairy. Drink lots of water. Decide on how many calorires you need in a day and try to stay within the max....but at least eat 1200 to 1400 a day.\n5 Set up an exercise program...walking is good. Do this daily or every other day.\n6. Add in some weight bearing exercises to help tone up your muscles.\n7. Only weigh yourself once a week or once a month. Don't get caught up in the numbers... \n8. Don't give up.\n\nBottom line: you have to burn more calories than you take in.

Go to the gym! Do five minutes of cardio to get your heart rate going, then do some weights, and finally do about a half hour of cardio. You will shed pounds quickly this way (I did).\n\nAlso, be thoughtful about what you eat. Try to take on more fresh fruits and veggies and fewer heavier items. (Dunkin Donuts will NOT help you lose weight!)\n\nI don't think you need to lose weight though. I think you're gorgeous.

NO SODA! \n5 - WATER! WATER! WATER! - this is very important in losing weight and maintaining a healthy body. It will kick-start your metabolism and flush all the yuckies out of your system

What you have to do is make your weight loss part of just having a healthier lifestyle.\n\nDiet and fitness work together toward a healthy lifestyle. Changing your diet and your level of fitness is what can change the way you look and feel. The best way to lose weight is about living a healthier life than what you may be living now. You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed.\n\nThe body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.\n\nThere will be 5 basic elements you need to adjust to have a healthy lifestyle.\nThey are:\n\n1. Your Eating\n2. Your Water Intake\n3. Maintaining a balance of cardio and resistance exercise\n4. Smart supplementation\n5. Sleeping the best amount of time.

Fast with protein shakes....but the weight will all come back and them some. \n\nLess food+ more exercise is the only way to really lose weight!

Yes, it can help you lose weight.  That is only if you do fast paced movements repeatedly to get the blood flowing.\nIt helps tone your body more than help you lose weight.  Since belly dancing shows you how to isolate parts of your body from the rest, it works each muscle seperately(back, upper ab, lower ab, etc.)  It also helps shape your buns and thighs.  I highly recommend it and be serious about it when you dance.  Listen to your body and feel the movements, that way you know you're doing it right and you'll see results if you keep at it.

Exercise and watch what you eat.\n\nI tried the Body for Life program and it really works.  Go ahead and try it.  STICK TO IT AND YOU WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT (and inches!!).

The best way to lose weight is to first of all become acquainted with the kitchen and get on good terms with it and the food that will be cooked. No matter how much money one earns, how well they exercise, if they don't have food that encourages health, weight loss and tastes damn good then to start would not be a good idea because the yo-yo effect will inevitably occur.\n\nGet a hold of some good recipes, find out your calorie and macro-nutrient requirements each day and start manipulating the recipes to suit. \n\nFood is the biggest and hardest key to weight loss, not exercise. Takes nothing to exercise, takes everything to eat properly.\n\nGood luck\n\nkarl\nsfhsnz@yahoo.com

Sure, any kind of exercise will keep you fit and healthy!\nBut if you're asking about whether it burns more Calories or whatever, then it DOES NOT become fun. It just becomes routine, you get sick and tired of it and eventually you'll start passing out because you keep pushing yourself to stay on your feet, thinking about Calories, not having fun.\nI always find this helps me... Turn the lights off. There's just something so much more different about dancing in the dark. I have a mirror-door wardrobe thing and so my room is surrounded by mirrors, really. Turning the lights off and closing my eyes just helps me focusing more on that relaxed feeling than worrying about look/rhythm. But you have to keep in time with the beat of course, otherwise it just doesn't work out.\nDepends on which kinda music/dance you're into, I usually go for the techno/disco/industrial stuff, it makes me happy lol ^_^

Listen, there is no easy way to losing weight. Weight loss occurs when calorie output is less than calorie input. So in other words you burn more than you eat. If you were to do this without exercise, you would not be allowed to eat too many calories. \n\nYou really need activity to lose weight as it increases your metabolism and burns what you ate in the day. If you don't you will not have great shape. Many people that are think have high body fat % so they are still not healthy. You need to consider the fact that if you want to maintain a healthy weight exercise can assist in maintaining your weight once you reach your goal. \n\nMany people lose weight and then gain it back cause they stop exercising and healthy eating. The only way to maintain your weight is to be consistent and following a healthy eating and exercise plan for life.

Its not health to lose it "really quickly."\n\nIf you are dancing and walking that much, then it tends to suggest that your leg muscles are pretty toned, right?  Muscle weighs more than fat.  For your height, you are technically within the normal range if you have a large body frame.\n\nIf you are really concerned about it, then you should lower your caloric intake by about 500 calories a day.  it sounds like you get plenty of of exercise.  I think that you probably weight a little more due to muscle mass.  Muscle also holds onto water, which increases your weight.\n\nIf you want to lose weight, expect to do so by losing about 0.5 to 2 pounds per week.  Quick ways to lose that much weight at your current weight could be harmful.\n\nRegards,\nRyan
