Ok, I'm 5' and I weight 120 lbs. I don't really consider myself fat. However, I would like to tone up my hips, thighs, and stomach. I wear a size 6 and my goal is to get down to a 4. I also want to get to either 105 or 110 lbs. Any good excercise and dieting suggestions?

Eat healthy. Make sure your eating througout the day. Maybe 5 small meals. Or 3 square meals plus 2 small snacks. And, workout 5 times a week for a couple months. Then you can cut down your workout to 3-4 times a week. It's a proven fact, healthy eating + working out= weight loss.

Cut back on the carbs, get into a regular exercise program, do not eat for at least four hours before going to bed, watch the portion size, eating several smaller portions during the day is healthier than three big meals. Don't expect for it to happen over night. It took time to put the wieght on, to keep it off, it will take time to loose it. Keep support from family and friends.

Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic index and load. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way we have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.

Top weight loss tips

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.

water... loads of water. and eat as many veggies as you can get your hands on. lean meats like chicken and fish. healthy fats like avocados are great too, and if you are a snacker like me, go to a healthfood store and buy some banana chips, nuts, or trail mix. and some cardio would be good. start jogging or running. good luck.
