two simple steps to loosing weight; diet and excersice.\nfirst the diet. stick to fresh fruits and vegetables and dairy products.\none multivitamin tablet a day is a good idea too.\njogging seems to work well for me . go to a park or gym and go crazy. you should jog at least 3 or 4 km a day just to stay in shape. to loose serious weight you just need to jog longer and faster.

Depends on how much. If it is just like 10 or 15 lbs you can cut back on calories and exercise more and you will lose at least 10 lbs in 6weeks

Unless your physician has given you specific instructions otherwise, don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it would make you feel awful. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

Yes, it's possible to lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks but it's not healthy and you will probably end up regaining some of the weight. 1 to 2 pounds/week is the best way to go and you will keep them off.\nI think you'll be ok losing 5 pounds but 10? It seems a bit excessive to me for somebody your age and your height.\nDon't forget that men in general like women with curves, not rails.\nGood luck.

Your probrably going to need to work out more often then three days a week  but here are some guidelines.  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 Good Luck!   Please don't hesitate to IM me at this name if you have anymore questions, i'd be glad to help

Dance, but don't eat more. Try to make smarter food choices and lower your overall calorie intake. Dance for 30 minutes UNINTERUPTED as a minimum.

No dairy products, reduce your carbs, increase protein and eat 5 SMALL meals (snack size) a day. Power walk at least 45 mins a day, and within 2 weeks you'll be 10 lbs lighter.  If you need to lose 5-7 pounds super fast, then just buy meal replacement bars and only eat those for a week.  Nothing else.  (No more than 2.5 a day).  Not the best thing to do, but short term it works.

You do have quite a large amount of weight that you would like to lose, BUT, you are giving yourself planty of time to reach your goal which will make it that much easier to accomplish.\n\nA safe weight loss is about 2 pounds a week, and lets say that you lose weight slowly. Your goal should be completed by next fall, if you start New Years day. (this leaves planty of room in case you cheat or stop your dieting for a few weeks then need to get back on track)\n\nHowever, and there is a big however, at your current weight you will more-than-likely lose 3 pounds a week for the first 3 weeks. This will move up your goal date.\n\nNow I am just talking about dieting and weight loss pounds. Once you start adding simple exercising you will see that you start loosing more quickly and any flab that you may have will start to firm up. \n\nIf you start by exercising in your room (pilates, crunches, old fashioned floor exercises like leg lifts), you can get over the awkward phase in private.\n\nYou will start looking pounds thinner than your scale shows. By March of next year you should really start noticing a big differance. During March start getting out and walking & jogging.\nBy then you will feel more confident about the way you feel about your body and will be more fit to be able to keep up with others without being winded.\n\nBy April, you will be down about 2-3 pant sizes.\n\nBy May, you will be able to start wearing snugger clothing. \n\nBy June, your down another size\nAnd if you stuck to your diet and exercise routine you will have lost about 4 pant sizes--good going!\n\nBy July, you will see the scale slow down BUT, your still firming up so don't let the scale bother you. As a matter of fact toss the scale for a while. It's how you look and feel, not what the scale shows.\n\nFor the next few months up your exercise routine to really speed up that metabolism. \n\nSo what type of a diet are you going to go on? \nIf you don't have a specific one planned I would suggest you toss all fad diets out the window and eat healthier foods and smaller quantities. Sure many have lost a ton on low carb diets--only to gain the weight back. Low carb isn't something that you can live on forever.\n\nStick to veggies (all kinds except fried), actually most of your diet should be veggies, then add lean meats like chicken without the skin (even if you go to KFC, you can eat the chicken with your friends just remove the skin), have plenty of green salads, low fat milk, yogurts and cheeses (Skinny cow brand ice cream is wonderful--I love it) it's low cal & low fat, so it's a good treat.\n\nUse the internet to look up fast food restaurants in your area. You can find online menus along with nutritional information. Choose what is best from each restaurant, so when you go with friends you don't have to settle for a diet soda. You know in advance what you are going to eat. Most fast food places have a few meals that are low cal & low fat, but you have to look good to find them.\n\nAnd speaking of soda--chuck it all. Not even diet soda! Stick to water, flavored water and fruit juices that you have watered down (fruit juice has allot of calories)\n\nTreat yourself with fresh fruit, Skinny Cow or another simular type of low fat ice cream, low fat microwave popcorn, rice cakes,\nwhole wheat petzels, whole wheat bread (no butter) and sugarless gum.\n\nIf you can get together with other dorm members who may want to lose weight (who doesn't these days) , and keep track of each other. Don't need to weigh in or anything like that, just every once in a while motivate each other. Diet buddies really do work.\n\nI hope that I have not rambled on too much, but it's so nice to see someone who actually doesn't plan on losing 20 pounds in a week. \nYour goal is so easy to attain if you stick to it.\nGood Luck\nPS purchase a calander or make one on your computer and chart your goals and your success's. Plan out each month ah

There are a lot of factors that tie into a person losing weight. For instance, it is very good that you do cardio (aerobics for 30 minutes) because doing cardio is important in losing weight. Cardio is the key to losing weight and if you do it three times a week..you should be in good shape. The working of the legs and abs is for toning and this will contribute to a better/toned look. It is important to look at your diet as well. Do you eat a lot of fatty foods? Look at the amount of calories in the food you eat as well as the calories from fat. You should also drink a lot (8 glasses a day) of water. And try not to eat close to bed time. Try not to eat too late cause the body motabolizes faster in the day than night. Hope you lose weight.

As mentioned running is a great way to achieve this goal. You can also try swimming. These will lead to burning the most calories per hour of activity. Basically one loses weight in gradual quantities from all different parts your body at once, so these exercises will lead to the best lost. Hills, stairs, squats, lunges, etc will target/tone your glutes.

Quickest way to lose 10 kg is to reduce how much you eat in each meal and also cut out the fast foods, cola type drinks and oil for cooking. No cheese and no / less sugar in your coffee.\n\nYou will lose 3-4 kilos very fast in the first 10 days. After that it will be a bit slower but it will go, you will see it. If you are not too lazy, try to go for a walk with your headphones on for about minimum 10 songs (30 mins).\n\nHow to stop feeling hungry. First, keep fruits or cucumbers/carrots etc around at all times. They have almost no calories but they take away that hungry feeling. One apple is enough to shut your stomach up. Bananas are good too, they give you more energy so you feel stronger...\n\nWhen you eat lesser for 3-4 days, your inner-stomach will shrink. After that, you will feel full with the smaller amounts...it's weird but true!! You will wonder how the hell you ate so much before.

You can lose 10 lbs. in 4 or 5 weeks. Safest way is to lose 2-3 lbs a week. If you do more than, or do crash diets, and when you go back to your normal eating habits, the weight you lost will come back or even double! So take it slow ok? :)\nI started as 135 and I'm also trying to reach my goal weight which is 120. I lost my 3 lbs in 1.5 weeks. Here's what I did.\n\nFirst, WATER is very important. you must drink at least 8 glasses a day. It also helps suppress your appetite. Drink a glass when you wake up in the morning and before you go to asleep. Drink also a glass before every meal. And if you exercise, drink before, in the middle, and after your exercise routine. This helps you lose water weight.\nWater weight is all the water accumulated in different parts of our body because the body makes sure that it has a reserved "stock". So if you constantly drink a lot of water, the body will release the water weight (which is maybe 2-5 lbs)because it will think that the supply will always come.Ok? :)\n\nOh, and if you drink ICE COLD WATER extra calories are burned because the body can not utilize the water in its cold state. So it has to bring it to normal body temperature first.\n\nYou could also try green tea. 2 to 3 cups a day burn 80 calories. This has been proven. :) Add also lemon. :)\n\n\nEating smaller meals does help. Eat every after 3 hours. This is the time when the last meal you ate is fully digested. You must not go hungry because this will slower your metabolism.\nHere are some food suggestions:\neat foods with fiber: whole wheat bread, oatmeals or non-sugar cereals with skim milk. \nprotein: tuna in water, skinless chicken breast, eggs(not too much), low fat cheese\ncalcium: skimmed milk \n\n*It is also proven that calcium helps boost your metabolism.\n\nFruits but no bananas and Vegies but no potatoes. you can have as many as you like.\n\nYou can also have frozen yogurt. low/non fat.\n\nStay away from carbs like white bread/flour. I'm not saying you shouldn't eat them but a daily requirement is 50 grams.\nThe atkins diet tells you to take 25 g. This is dangerous and can lead to ketosis.\nStay away from sugars or starches. No sodas please. If you wish to drink fruit juices then buy fruits and use a blender. Those powdered juices have too many sugars in them. :)\n\nOh and if you wish to exercise but have no budget for gym or are too lazy to do it like I am :) hehehe. try the following while listening to your mp3 or while sight-seeing.\n\nwalking--250 calories burned an hour\nrunning--500 cal\njogging--900 cal\n\ngood luck! ;)

As you know diet and excercise is the number one way to lose the pounds.  But then again...as we all know...we dont always have the time or energy to do so.  So here is my advice which worked for my sis....eat small meals throughout the day...none of this 3 meals a day nonsence.  The key word is small meals...like have fruit,cereal, or something light for snacks...eat half a sandwich for lunch instead of a whole...u can constantly eat like that throughout the day without gaining cause your body has more time to burn off the calories.  Plus...you'll notice you'll start to get full quicker.  Don't eat past seven....body is too relaxed and if your like me...im lucky if my brain functions after 6 ish....lol!  Last but not least...dont over excercise...some crunches and leg lifts..steches before bed each night...you should do great...wish ya the best!  My sis lost around 45 lbs in less than 4 months...and she wasnt faithful to it...so you'll be awesome.

losing ten pounds in a week really isnt healthy... but if you have to...\n\nexcercise EVERYDAY and burn off every calorie you eat. Better yet, DONT EAT... drinks tons of water... \n\nBut this really isnt a good thing to do

Hey girl i got your back.  \nOK i know how to do this cuz im in the humble high school kit kats and we are "walking it out" to that song ok. Well the person above me is right, you move your legs, but you also move your hips and put a little hand motions in there you dont want to look dull with you just moving the lower part of your body, get krunk get creative girl. You dont have to follow how everyone does it you make it your own. Okay like say your left leg is moving left you. Move your right leg the same way.  and the right moving right. move the left leg with it. But dont pick your feet off the ground like on releve:which in ballet terms means to pick your heels off of the ground. and just keep practicing you will get use to it. But in that part where he says "now hit the dance floor" get your hands above your head and slap them on the floor in front off you. and when she says "and you your back low" you put your left and right hand on your right leg bending down sort of and you left leg straight. you know get your back low. and i am tried of typing so if you want to know more of still dont get it. Just tell me girl email me. remeber i got your back. :-)
