I want to lose maybe 5 pounds. What are some good ways to get the weight off in my own home? What type of foods should I stick to, and when should I eat them? Also, what's a good excersise I can do. Right now I dance and ice skate 2-5 hours, 2-4 times a week, and sometimes jog on a jogtrampoline. Help!! I want to lose weight, and fast!

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself with a little treat once in a while:)

Read "A Week in the Zone." It's a great intro to the Zone diet, which is more of a lifestyle plan than a diet. Very simple, very sane, very effective for losing a few pounds and KEEPING IT OFF.
Good luck!

What you have to do is EAT HEALTHY.
No more pizza, donuts, and chips.
I'm on the Eat Clean Diet, you can buy it at stores, I've been on it for 6 days and i lost 3 pounds.
And keep up the exercise!
