You can still exercise but don't use heavy weights, light weights with more repetitions and you need to go on a low carb diet If you don't diet you just build muscle on top of the fat which will make it look bulky. You also have to stretch all your muscles after exercising, it has something to do with the lactic acid. Also eat more protein, it will help you feel fuller and really curb your starches, potatoes, rice, bread and especially sweets. And you really have a decent weight already.

If you want to lose fat, you need to eat alot of protein, low fat, low carbs (size of fist portion), and of course do cardio. Eat six times a day small protions www.bodyforlife.com. If you go on that site and look at the sample menu it gives you an idea and the you can adjust it to suit you. If you can stick to that diet fat will melt away

The worked out solution :
you have to ascend and descend the 3 story building or 3 flooors of ur building 5-7times in single go in morning. but dont walk. do run on steps.. it will definitely looos fat from face and sides of ur abdmen
But it will bring u tired as well as the sweat a lot. but this is a good sign of workability of exrcise . work out and tell me within a week how much u loose ..... but b regular.
and then eat whatever but in modderate quantity .dont b afraid of calories and all, exercise will take care of it.

please please PLEASE don't go on one of these calorie, carb, points counting diets etc...... i don't know of anyone who has the willpower to actually do the counting let alone stick to the diet!

just start eating healthier, watch the saturated fat you eat (fat that is solid at room temerature e.g. bacon rind, the fat in cheese, beef dripping ...) don't deprive yourself of anything or it will just do your head in, you'll want it all the time!

if you fancy chocolate, have one of those little freddo bars by cadbury, tiny bars of chocolate that satisfy the craving. instead of crisps, try seasons by quaker: dont be put off by the fact they're crispbreads, its the same as eating anything made out of corn e.g salt and vinegar chipsticks, wotsits etc! they taste gorgeous (not 2 fussed on the cheese and onion ones tho, a bit bland for me!) and they only have 2.5g of fat, 0.4g of which saturates, fantastic! they do have over 100 calories, but if you're eating plenty of fruit and veg based meals throught the day this is fine.

try this site for healthy recipes (you can even filter the search results for recipes containing the most amount of calories and fat etc you want, or if you have to avoid certain foods you can use the filter to do this too, really good idea) http://www.recipezaar.com. its brilliant.

look for healthy soup recipes to take to work. they're so easy to make and last up to 3 days in the fridge so once you've made it you dont have to worry about what to have for a few days! just have a brown bread roll with it, i'm not keen but kingsmill ones are lovely. but always use stock granules, much healthier and easier, and i actually prefer using them. the knorr chicken one is brill, i havent tried the vegetable one yet though.

chicken and turkey are the leanest meats, and chicken is sooooooooo versatile theres so many recipes for it! even if its just grilling chicken with seasoning, like the schwartz shotz, little sachets of seasoning like chargrill, bbq, cajun etc makes it much more exciting and its so easy! served up with a nice big salad with a bit of fresh lemon or lime juice for more interest, or low fat dressing (you can buy the one you get with a macdonalds side salad in tesco!) and a small jacket potato or some new potatoes. mmmmmmmm!

the bbc food site has nice recipes, too. just look for simple ones that dont take too long or dont require ingredients you'll use once and throw away.

i haaaaaaate exercising but it does make a difference and you see the weight start to come off a bit sooner: grab a mate, a dog or a friends dog if you dont have one and try to have a few walks throughout the week. dont laugh at this bit, but buy a skipping rope and skip on the spot in the garden for as long as you can whenever you can, and try using a trampette when watching your favourite programmes instead of sitting there trying to fight the urge to snack!

hope this helps, if you want a few recipes or a few more tips, just let me know by answering one of my questions and i'll come back to answer more of yours! good luck :)

Diet and exercise, cut the fat out, but for goodness sake stay shapely.
