Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

First off...there is NO SUCH thing as spot reduction short of Lipo. Body fat reduces all over the body...thus nice boobs when you are a little over weight...decrease with exercise. You need to do a minimum of 30 minutes of serious cardio 5 days a week...strength training wouldn't hurt...and then...very important...diet...cut back. My best advice...seek advice from a Certified Personal Trainer. Good luck!

Swim laps! It's the greatest over-all workout and it doesn't hurt. You will be amazed at how fast the fat melts off and tones at the same time....and it's so fun and enjoyable that you don't even realize you are WORKING-out. See ya 'round the pool!

don't do low carb crap its stupid. dancing is a good way to stay active, but a great way is riding a bike, doing cardio videos, strength exersice, or running. also drink water water water and no soda!!!
