Im about five six and currently weigh 152 lbs after having mono and being super lazy and such for 2 months. I realize this is still technically in the healthy weight range for my height but for my body type its slightly big. I would like to get down to 142 lbs in the next 6 weeks before my long distance boyfriend comes o visit and i need help! It seems to be really hard for me to lose weight because i carry most of my extra weight in my hips and thighs, though i'd like to slim my torso and arms a little too. I need a reasonable plan that can help me achieve my weigth loss goal in the next 6 weeks!! I'm begging you give me some help!

I think that the combo of exercise and dieting is a surefire way to lose weight. But you have to be very committed; no slacking off or indulging in bad food. Since you want to lose weight fast, I recommend the GM diet (look up on google) to start you off. See how you go with that. If you do not like the GM diet, then I think you should try eating mostly fruits and veggies especially leafy green veggies, and cutting carbs. Meat is fine as long as you do not fry it too much. I think that grilled chicken and aspargus is a good example of a healthy meal. Pilates is the best form of exercise, at least for me. You see results fast and it isn't too tiring. I do Winsor pilates. Good luck and hope I helped!

Here are a few tips;WHEN to eat for losing weight... • Eat (at least) three times a day. Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That's the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight... you must eat (the right things, of course) • Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.• Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try. OK, one apple after 18:00 • Don't starve Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health. Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet. • Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast--eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.WHAT to drink for losing weight... • Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day ! Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water! This improves your bowel, reduces the "hunger" sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks! Don't believe the slogan "water makes me fat". Beside being stupid... you might get into serious troubles with your kidneys. • Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squeezed! Don't drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, Spite etc. during the diet. Even lite or light versions. • Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home.Exercise for losing weight... • If you want quicker results - exercise would be good. • Don't just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts... I guarantee THIS won't work for your weight loss... • Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants! • Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don't regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated.• Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don't shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?• Also Cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, or aerobics will help you lose that unwanted belly fat. Weight training can also help you lose body fat because the more muscle mass you have, the more ability your system has to burn body fat.Good luck!
