Okay...I only started five Mondays ago and All I do is walk one hour every morning. I wear a calorie counter monitor to loose weight by the numbers. I have already lost two pant size and 27 pounds. I am a woman and have three kids and this is the method I use when I gain weight.. I am now at a size two and everyone is always amazed that I have had three kids. This is what I do below when I throw on a few extra pounds. It always works..No diet pills, no energy drinks..just me walking and getting the water I need. Of course I watch what I eat and the Lean Cuisine meals are great for that since the calories per box are 180 to 380 per box. Just make sure you eat healthy every three to four hours so your body will perform at its max.

Helpful Tips for weight loss:

1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch

Keep to a 1,200 food intake

Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn't seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.

I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

I like The Firm Transfirmer system. Costs about $60, you can buy it on tv, online, or at Target. Has three dvds, and a double step system, which can be used in a multitude of ways. You also need to buy 3 sets of weights - 3,5,and 8 pounds (costs about $25 for all three). This is a great system because it involves cardio and resistance training in one system, and there are also other dvds you can buy if you get bored with the three. Of course, this isn't for everyone. An elliptical machine is a really good choice, but if you are going to invest in a big machine like that, you need to accept the fact that you are going to eventually get either used to it, or bored. You may be better off purchasing a machine that has a variety of exercises on it, so that you can get an all over workout.

of course you can. Use the treadmill for your cardio (since you already have it, but it is also unnecessary). For strength, all you need is your body weight; do pushups and squats, that will provide strength for your entire body. As far as flexibility, Go buy the book: Yoga in 28 Days. that will provide all you need. Actually the yoga program provides strength as well as flexibility.

Good luck
