Answer 2

Don't do those fad diets that help you lose 20 or more pounds within a month or so! Once you stop the diet, you'll gain the weight back and probably even more pounds :(.

Use the Dr. Phil Weight Loss Program, and buy his book. I gained weight and the program worked very well to help me lose 20-30 lbs over the period of 4-5 months.

Another good technique is to work at a gym (I did that). Just working as a clerk there exposes you to personal trainers and other health experts who can give you great advice about how to most effectively lose weight.

Also, these programs work well: Winsor Pilates and The Firm DVDs.

Sometimes keeping a food diary can help. Sometimes we don't remember how much we have snacked on during the day. The food diary can help you see if you are snacking excessively or help you see a bad habit.

If snacking is your problem you can look into a couple of options. You can cut down on your snacking or plan for healthier snacks. Don't drastically change your diet unless you know that you can stick with it. Otherwise you just gain all of the weight back because you go back to old habits. Just change a little at a time. Try having two "healthy meals" a week. Something as simple as having grilled food, instead of something fried.

Also, to lose weight you really need to do some type of exercise. Find something that you enjoy doing. You will be more likely to stick with it. Maybe walking, swimming, yoga, dance, aerobics. Just whatever you find interesting. If you bore easily you may want to try doing more than one thing. For instance, walking with friends on Monday and Wednesday, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday. The next week try dance on Mon. and wed. and aerobics or Tues. and Thurs.. You just have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep it fun and interesting. Take time and try some new things!

I hope these suggestions were helpful. Good luck and just keep the faith in yourself. You can do it. You just have to decide that you are ready to.

My oldest sister was a professional model in Seattle for five years.

The goal is to be able to fine-tune your weight however you wish throughout the rest of your life and in a way that's healthy. Right?

It's all a matter of eating right-sized portions and raising your metabolism. Those are really the only things you need to do.

Your stomach tells you when it's hungry, but it also expands and contracts, depending on how much you eat. Eating four smaller, healthy (of course) balanced meals a day will allow your stomach to shrink to the point that you won't get hungry as easily, and if you rise a bit early and exercise each morning (running, cycling and/or calisthenics) you'll raise your metabolism and it'll remain higher throughout the day, burning more calories than you do now and giving you a healthier natural glow.

by the sound of it you don't need to lose weight. but if you want to lose fat and gain muscle try incorporating weights in to a exercising program. You also need to do cardio at least 3 to 5 times a week lasting for around an hour. Make sure you are eating a healthy well balanced diet.

I personally think that all models shouldn`t be that skinny but i don't think you need to lose weight at all you are still 12 pounds lighter than me and I am 5ft 4in. but if your worried you are to fat or a little over weight just like run for about an hour that helps you keep skinny. <3 hope that helps! :^)

Answer 7

Are you trying to look like a WW2 labour camp prisoner?

Watch a documentary on the Jewish Extermination Camps, Achuitz... Dochow.... Berganbelson (forgive the spelling errors) and the number of other camps that tortoured these poor people BY STARVING THEM TO DEATH!

You are sick little girl..... FOR CHRIST SAKE.....EAT SOMETHING BEFORE YOU DIE!!

Lose weight? Hell, you should gain 20 more pounds!!!!

Answer 8

If I were you I wouldn't go anorexic or take away junk foods. All I would do is have a maximum. Diet bread, whole wheat bread, lots of vegtables and fat free foods are a good idea as well.
