Iam 5'4 around 125 lbs. Im a size 4 and I want to do down a dress size in order to fit into the bathing suit i bought last year (and I want to look good of course). I have been working out for about a year. I am getting toned a bit but I am not going down in size. Does anyone have any suggestions in how to see results faster. Like by 2 months? Thanks!!!

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Working out is important; for muscle tone, cardiac fitness, etc. But most dietitians, physicians will suggest that weight is governed 80% by what we eat/drink and 20% by physical activity (for normally active people). Real trick here is to alter diet: no soda, no beer, no processed or high-caloric fattening foods, and back to the basics with much fiber. Start your day with high-bran content cereal and fruit. Salad with some protein (chicken or fish,etc.) at lunch, and tomatoes, fruit, cottage cheese, fish and other veggies at dinner. Much water, green tea. Especially now in the summer, very easy to eat well, grill your veggies seasoned. Feel better, sleep better and lose 12-13 lbs!

To tighten up everything FASTER, you have to lift heavier.
Do not lift over your head; too dangerous.
Simply lift and HOLD the weight for 60 seconds.
Keeps from damaging the joints.\
When lifting and holding, keep your elbows bent, your knees bent, and bend over; this makes the muscles hold the weight, not your bones.
