I'm about 5'5" and I'm about 170 pounds. I have these horrible love handles that are completely disgusting! I usually only wear sweatshirts so they dont show. I was wondering what I could do to lose some weight. I really want to go swimming this summer and like this I sure as heck don't want to be seen in a swimsuit! I'm assuming I'd have to diet and excersise. What kind of diets actually work? And what exercises would actually do something for me? I was thinking walking everyday, but I'm not so sure if that will be enough. Any thoughts would be much appriciated. Thanks! :)

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, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Eat 6 small but balanced meals per day. Your carbs should be high in fiber, your proteins should be lean, and your fats should be sparing but high in the omega 3 & 6 fatty acids. Avoid greasy foods, alcohol, and candy.

Lift weights or perform power yoga. These are resistance exercises which will increase your lean mass and burn extra calories 24 hours per day. Also, some cardio helps.

Use a measuring tape instead of a scale to measure your progress because the measuring tape is more accurate.

Here is a sample meal plan, a healthy foods list, and a sample workout:

One workout that really works for me is Billy Blanks' tae bo dvds. You can get it at www.BillyBlanks.com.

I do about an hour of advanced tae bo and do not eat past 5pm. You can lose a lot of weight if you do it consistently. Cut out the junk and fried foods and exercise 30 minutes - 1 hr everyday and you should lose weight in no time. Good luck!
