OK, first of all, I wish I only weighed that much. If you are serious about wanting to be in better shape, though, there are lots of things you can do. Any weight loss program requires exercise. Unless you have some health issues, in which case you should talk to your doctor before you start any sort of diet or exercise program, you can just add some exercise to your routine. Get a partner, so you can motivate each other, or chew each other's butts when one of you wimps out. Is there some reason is has to be done in the space of a month??? It does not seem like you are really hefty or anything, and 4 weeks is not a lot of time for a healthy weight loss program to take effect. I would recommend taking a slower approach and giving yourself more time. Also, start by checking your BMI (Body Mass Index). That will give you an idea of just how fat you really are; my gues is that you are not. If this is not an issue of you being overweight, but just feeling like you are, then you might want to consider talking to a counselor of some type to help you figure a way through it all before it gets really hard. Best of Luck to you!

You proberly dont need to lose weight, and with your weight you prob dont even have 20 pounds of fat!!!
if you are realy serious about it I recommend a book..."You are what you eat cook book" by DR. Gillian mcKeith
I recomend that you stop eating: junk(sweets), convience foods, fries ect.
Going on a vegan diet is by far the best though, without intending to I lost from 12.5 stone to 11 in 5 months!!! and I am not much fat!!
I am sorry I don't know what that is in kg/pounds.
these will only be effective if you do lots of exercise.
...as for your biceps try going for long walk carring 2 tins of beans or something with your arm slightly bent.

From the sound of it you are not needing to loose weight. The only thing you need to do is exercise.
The less you eat the more you will gain because if your body is not getting what it needs it will go into starvation mode and start storeing the food you are eating and then you will start to gain weigh. So if you are starving yourself it will only make you gain weight in the long run. You are about my height and I am small boned and My perfect weigh is 120. So if you are 5'2" your weight is fine. All you need to do is exercise and eat healthy and take care of your body by not depriving it of what it needs at this very important stage of your development.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if your trying to lose weight, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and log your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training For Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness For Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues. A good free publication is “Dietary Guidelines For Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.
*6) Make a life long commitment to good health. A great test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com Look at other areas where you can improve your health. For example, make improvements on the quality of the air you breath. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.
*Click on all the source links below to get the full benefit of the recommendations. The answers presented to your health questions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

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.

No, you're not going to lose 20 pounds in a month, at least not without cutting off your arm.
Exercise!
And you can't be too fat at 120lbs, try not to be too obsessed with how you look.
