This should be easy enoguh, if you're serious about it. That's 10 lbs. a month, or 5 lbs. every two weeks.

The only way to lose (I used to be 169, now 135) is to eat fewer calories than you burn. People will tell you thousands of different tricks, diets or plans but they all boil down to this: Eat Fewer Calories that You Burn.

This means on top of cutting out your sugar, sweets and general garbage from your diet, be sure to exercise if only 20 minutes three times a week.

You can do it, you can! I did.

You CAN do this! I lost 15 lbs in two weeks when I went on a missionary trip to Russia! It was very easy! You can start the "Cinch" program. It would be pricey for you, but I can help you "earn" it for free! And, how's this - you actually have 4 months to do it in. That's a very reasonable goal! One of the first things I would suggest that you do is to take a good multi-vitamin. Try a little exercise - are you active in school? You can do a little more walking each day - any little bit will help! Email me for more information about the Cinch program - I can't send you web addresses for the info because of Yahoo's policy. But if you email me, I can email you some info. Good luck, and be committed to your goal - don't weigh yourself every day. Post a picture of an outfit that you'd like to fit into in December. Get it from a catalog and hang it up where you will see it. If you have extra money for snacks, put it away in an envelope labeled with the new outfit you will buy for Christmas! I'd love to hear from you and find out how you are doing! ralphsrascals79@yahoo.com

Well, that's a fairly simple task, especially for someone not to concerned about muscle loss. Are you having a "quincinetta"? The traditional 15th birthday for Mexican girls?

Like I said, it's pretty simple...depending on if you can stick to a diet / healthy eating habits. The first things you want to eliminate from what you eat are: sugar, fried foods, and white flour. You want to eat as natural and unprocessed food as possible.

Sugar, anything with it is bad. From Coco-Crispies cereal, nearly all sodas, to a small bag a M&M's. All turn into body fat fairly quickly.

Fried foods. Chips, french fries, etc. All have very high levels of calories and fat. Cut out mayonaisse while you're at it.

White flour. White breads, spahgetti, Ramen noodles, most cereals, tortillas (corn & flour).

Your going to want to eat 5-7 small meals/snacks in a day. That may seem like a lot of eating, but look at it this way. Say your lost in the woods and you need a fire to last all night. Will the fire last longer throwing all the wood you've collected into the fire once or twice during the night, or if you toss a piece of wood in once every 45 minutes-hour?

Your body is pretty similar. You need to feed it a little bit every 2-3 hours to keep it burning fat. The longer you go in between meals, the more likely your body is going to store what you eat as fat. This is because your body doesn't realize that there is food everywhere in the world we live in. It still thinks your a cave-man. And cave-men didn't get to eat very often. Sometimes once every 3-5 days...starving. So our body is designed to store what we eat as fat, because fat has the most energy (calories) per pound. So, if you sleep all night, then skip breakfast and don't eat until lunch at say 11:30am...you probably haven't ate anything in 12+ hours. So, your body thinks your starving, that there is no food to eat. Then you eat a nice, greasy, calorie-loaded slice of pizza. Your body will then store most of it as fat because it thinks there is a food shortage.

Aim for 250-300 calories at each meal/snack.
Also try to eat 20-30 grams of protein at each meal. And of course, your going to want to keep even healthy carbs to a minimum (less than 80 grams a day).

The healthiest carbs are:
Yams
Oatmeal (no sugar)
Sweet Potatoes

OK carbs are:
Whole-grain bread/buns (whole-grain should be the first name on the ingredients list)
Fruits

Aside from the carbs listed above, your meals should consist of:
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Tuna
Salmon
Egg whites
Almonds
Low-fat cheese (cottage, string cheese)
Lots of vegtables
Lots of water

You need to drink 1 gallon minimum per day. Water is what carries the toxins and fat you burn off out of your body through your urine. It also helps keep you feeling full and does wonders for your skin. If your urine isn't clear like water, drink more.

Also, take a multi-vitamin (like Centrum).

If you were to do cardio like ride a bike or run for 20-45 minutes everyday AND diet, you'll be a size 1 in no time. But remember, losing weight is 90% about what you eat, not how much you exercise.

Good luck!

Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.


* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

If you DIET, you won't do it. If you exercise...you will. In fact, if you exercise, it will actually be pretty easy to do it since it is about
2 1/2 pounds a week. If you just diet...I am guessing you'll lose about 6 or 8 pounds, feel bad, and not be able to lose anything beyond that....
