Running is the best exercise for shedding pounds. Try to run (not jog) for about 20 minutes at least 3 days a week. Drink only water (and coffee if you must). Also, do some strength training. The more muscle you have, the more calories you can burn (that's why guys can get away with eating more). Don't eat ANY junkfood, and don't eat for at least 4 hours before you go to bed. \n\nThe most important thing is to set a goal, make a plan to achieve that goal, and stick to it. Good luck.

A great way to lose weight is to incorporate exercise into the patterns of your life. That is . . . take the stairs when you get the chance.  Walk to the store or the metro.  Make a habit of doing a "counter-pushup" every time you go to the fridge.  Quick situps as you wait for the microwave. (Believe it or not, I do this.) It's got to be part of your life for you to continue to do it.\n\nPlaying with what you eat is also helpful.  Try new recipes (lots of sites online!) and Cooking Light is a good way to find light recipes.  More vegetables, fresher ingredients. . . you may find it's fun to experiment with healthier food.\n\nHate to say it, but losing weight takes work and dedication.  You've got to consciously think about what your life looks like now, how you can change.

Exercise, exercise, exercise!!!  To really drop weight, try exercising at least 45 minutes 3-4 times a week.  Don't eat foods too high in fat or too many carbs.  But diets don't work, so don't get into that.  If you're exercising regularly, you can eat a lot of what you want (in moderation) and still lose weight.  The basic thing you want to do is burn more calories than you're eating.  Good luck!

I am in the same boat. I have already lost 5 pounds in a little less than a week and I am stepping it up a notch. What I am doing is watching and counting calories and carbs. Less than 180g of carbs and less than 1500 calories. Drink PLENTY of water. I am consuming 64 oz. of water now. I exercise 3 times a week with Richard Simmons exercise tape. The water helps fill you up. If you would like we can keep in touch and work on it together. It helps to have someone to talk to about the ups and downs of dieting and someone to share with WHEN you reach your goal. My email address is eeyore28602@yahoo.com if you wanna keep in touch about it. Hope this helps !!! Casey

just cut down on eating junk food and fast food if you do....joining a sport may help and exercising.....reduce your caloric intake....if you arent gaining weight than for something slow and steady just reduce 250 calories and then walk 2.5 miles a day which will help u lose 1 pound per week and so on... but whatever you do please be careful and when u happen to lose weight following whichever method be careful and not get hung up in it and develop an eating disorder....cause that sure is not the way to go!

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 and no smoking  if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it 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.  Don’t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. 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 from 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 Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help.  Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC.  There are many, many helpful facts on there.

exercise & fewer calories. that's the only way to lose weight and it's not going to come off in one day. you will only lose 2-3 pounds per week, sometimes even just one pound, but dont give up, it will be worth it in the end.\nstart out with a warm up:\ni usually touch my toes while sitting down, legs straight for atleast 30 seconds, to help loosen up, then 3 sets of lifting one leg and both arms up at the same time, 8 times for each leg, switching legs after i do 8. Then, i do 20 sit ups, 40 jumping jacks, and 10 crunches on each side. Then i run up and down my stairs as many times as i can, which is usually 7 unless i take a break lol. then i get on the tredmill and just go for 25 minutes. i try to run for atleast 4 minutes everytime but u might have to work up your running time. then i do a jogging speed for the other 21 minutes. i'm going to try this thing where you run for 30 secs, walk for 30, run 30, etc. for 8 minutes. this will help you increase ur running ability. after that, go back and do atleast 20 more sit ups and touch your toes for 30 seconds again, and you'll be done. considering that you weigh 166, try to consume atleast 1,200-1,300 calories per day. make sure they are HEALTHY calories though, meaning no junk. you can splurge maybe once a week. have lots of fruits and veggies on hand. good luck!

You are probably looking for a better answer, but the simplest and best way to lose weight is to keep track every single thing that crosses your lips each and every day.\nI've been tracking calories since mid-June, and have lost 25 #.  I'm not one to "diet", and I love to eat, but I got to the end of my rope and was miserable with myself.  Some useful tools are the calorie diary/tracker, and the Calorie King books that give nutritional information on nearly every restaurant, and all food types.  We eat out more than most, and I've done it through out this entire weight loss.\nPut your mind to it, as my Grandma used to say, and good luck to you!

increase your self esteem... or\ndehydrate yourself and go to the bathroom a lot.\n\nyou said easiest.\n\nThe best way to lose weight is simply to elevate your heart rate at least 30 minutes a day. You dont even have to exercise for a long time. You dont have to job, jump, or do stairs. Just do anything that raises your heart rate pretty high for a few minutes, and your heart will continue to pump fast and burn calories. Instead of eating a few big meals a day, eat many small meals.\nMake realistic goals like 5 pounds a month and stick to a routine. Have confidence in yourself and dont obsess by looking in the mirror everyday. It will happen, just have patience :)\nI made a site to check BMI and calories burned per day. It's not all that great but I spent a lot of time adding quality links to the further links section.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose some weight.   You need to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound, so don't try to do it too fast.  This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.\n\n2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.\n\n3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.\n\n5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.\n\n6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.\n\n7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4. even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

1. A safe level and effective level of weight loss that is about 1-2 pounds per week.. More than that could be unhealthy is is usually not lasting. Look to make lasting changes in your diet and lifestyle, then you will keep the weight off.  \n2. The only way to lose weight is to take in fewer calories that you burn. There is no secret to it. You can do this by dieting to lower your calorie intake, exercise to increase it, or a combination of both. Depending on your current activity level, even adding some walking into the schedule can help.\n3.  Muscle weighs more than fat but is more compact.  Adding muscle may make you look slimmer, and the muscle burns more calories at rest than fat so it can keep you slimmer.\n4. There are many effective diet programs that you can follow on your own or join. These programs do a few things: they can help educate you on proper nutrition; they help you control portions and calorie intake; and, they usually require you to keep a record of your eating behavior. Find one that is comfortable for you if you think it will help, or do it on your own.\n5. Writing down everything you eat over a few days can be very helpful in terms of identifying your problem areas.\n6 There are some helpul resources available from the US Government, including suggested diet and a calorie tracker that allows you to evaluate your food intake for calories and nutrients, and compare it to the calories that you burn through daily activities. I have some articles on my website as well. Links are shown below. \nGood luck!
