| Find some exercises that you enjoy, and then do a variety of different things so you don't get bored. Eating better meals (less sugar, fried foods and junk) and daily exercise is the only way to do it. Diets are a scam and diet pills do not work and have bad side effects. Best of luck. Running is probably best for women, if you don't mind that. |

| diet is the wrong word... eating better but dont forget to indugle some. in moderation of course and not everyday maybe once a week pick a day of the week that you can "cheat" thats the day you can have a few cookies or maybe a beer. but of course excersie. start out small then move on to bigger things and remember if it burns (after the work-out) means your working your muscles which is a good thing. |

| Get on a healthy diet, excersise, watch what you put inside your body. You have to focus on this or it will not work for you. Get on some great vitamines like a B complex that will help you keep motivated toward your goals. Do some research on line also. |

| Start eating healthy, Fruits & Vegtibles and not so much junk food that we all do eat every once in a great while. Start going to the Gym. Don't over do yourself the first time you go to the gym. You won't want to go back if you strain yourself the first time. Just take it slow. You will see improvement over the next few weeks I promise!I need to work on doing the same! |

| Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals. Try eating more grapes, clemintines, apples (with vanilla yogurt), blueberries, hummus (it sounds gross but it's really not, especially with Wheat Thins or Food Should Taste Good brand whole grain chips! I personally like garden vegetable or tomato flavored), granola, low-fat yogurt, low-fat string cheese, LITE whole wheat bread, 100 - calorie popcorn / kettle corn bags, steamed broccoli with a buttery garlic sauce etc. I also snack on South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, they're good AND pretty healthy!Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don't let yourself sit down for too long. If you can, get a gym membership. I use an elliptical for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and it works great for me.And don't eat out of boredom! It's a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don't have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food. I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. It may be different depending on your needs, but never go under 1200! Whatver you do, don't let yourself stray from your plan. Write it all down or type it out and leave it up on your computer so you don't forget, that's what I do.And don't "DIET". Because the moment you go off your "diet", you'll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make "healthy living choices."And allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short! If you restrict your body of all the "good foods", you will one day EXPLODE and eat everything in sight. Trust me!PS; nick_name137 copied my post and is trying to post mine as her own. So if you see her, let me know (:Good luck! Hope that helps (: |
