here some:


build muscle. it'll take your extra fat.(fat that didn't get burn)
i don't exactly remember how.

drink lots of water, eat nuts and raisins to increase metabolism
workout.
eat healthy.
eat slowly, because it takes awhile for food to digest, so
it takes awhile to be full after eating.

eating slowly will allow you to know when you're full to eat less.

don't sit in front of the tv while eating.
pretty much pay attention only to your food when you eat
also allow your body to tell you when you're hungry, when it growls, eat.

do aerobic exercises

do 2 30min exercises then have a 20 min break you'll lose more wight than not taking breaks at all
play music that you enjoy, or music that makes you feel like dancing to you'll exercise more/longer

you can run in one place for 15 min per day or more.
or run up and downstairs. or jog/run/walk around your block.

then slowly increase the time, by 5 min per day.
and if you're gonna do sit-ups, cutches, pull=ups, etc. add 10 per day

starving will get you skinnier but at the end of it when you eat normally again your body will be saving it,
and you'll gain weight faster
like bears saving their food for the winter.

also laughing for 10-15 minutes
burns75 calories

If you get cravings in afternoon, it means you're not getting enough food in the day.
Have and extra half apple, or an extra of something healthy for breakfast or have a snack before
yur usual cravings start everyday.

all these have been proven true

walk or bike to school instead of getting a ride. Add extra activities such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking further away from the store. also, find a sport or activity that you enjoy- perhaps dancing, rollerblading, soccer, etc. Try to get 30-60 minutes of cardio exercise 5-6 days per week. Also watch your diet. Consume 60% complex carbs (whole grains), a variety of fruits and vegetables, 20% high quality protein (eggs, low-fat dairy, fish) and less than 20% fat. Also drink plenty of water.

ride your bike, walk or run around the block, or take the stairs in a building instead of the elevator.
