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 :)

if you begin working out, you will burn fat and build muscle. however, muscle weighs more than fat. so weighing yourself on a scale measures everything. i weigh 120, but most of it is muscle bc i am a hardcore athlete. so not to sound discouraging, but you will "weigh" more when you work-out becuase of building muscle. but you will look skinnier bc you are burning fat. so pilates are good, and doing a 10 minute ab workout each night (with different forms of sit-ups) are really good and your body will look good.

Eat all of the recommended servings of food and eat slowly so that the food digests b4 u eat 2 much. only eat when your completely sure your hungry...otherwise just drink some water. And go to the gym and join a sport...remember everything adds up! That one piece of cake, or that quick walk to the mailbox!
