Answer 1

Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals. Like most people (I'm guilty sometimes!), you've probably brainwashed yourself into thinking that fast food tastes better than healthy food, but that's not entirely true! Try eating more grapes, clemintines, apples chunks in vanilla yogurt (good for sweet cravings!), blueberries, hummus (it sounds gross but it's really not, especially with Wheat Thins or Food Should Taste Good brand whole grain chips! I personally like garden vegetable or tomato flavored), granola, low-fat yogurt, low-fat string cheese, LITE whole wheat bread, 100 - calorie popcorn / kettle corn bags, steamed broccoli with a buttery garlic sauce etc. I also snack on South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, they're good AND pretty healthy! And eat SLOWLY. Take one bite at a time, chew completely, then take another bite. If you eat slower, you'll become fuller quicker, and you won't overeat.

Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don't let yourself sit down for too long. If you can, get a gym membership. I use an elliptical for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and it works great for me.

And don't eat out of boredom! It's a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don't have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food.

And don't "DIET". Because the moment you go off your "diet", you'll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make "healthy living choices."

I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. It may be different depending on your needs, but never go under 1200! Whatver you do, don't let yourself stray from your plan. Write it all down or type it out and leave it up on your computer so you don't forget, that's what I do.

You'll never get to your "ideal" body by eating crap food and sitting around, no matter how much you want it to happen. It takes dedication to get the body you want! Make it like a game. How much weight can I lose? Prove it to yourself you DO have the willpower to get what you want.

But allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short! If you restrict your body of all the "good foods", you will one day EXPLODE and eat everything in sight. Trust me!

One more thing: Once you do become thinner, DON'T think you can eat whatever you want now! You'll regain all the weight back, which is absolutely mortifying, especially after all the hard work to lose it.

Good luck! Hope that helps (:

Answer 2

The best way to loose weight is to go on a low carbohydrate diet, and to take lots of exercise.
Carbohydrate intake has a slow release of energy.
In other words, it will take you longer to burn the calories from high carb foods. With a low carb diet you'll find it easier to burn calories.
Its ok dieting, but if you don't do the exercise you could find that you end up with - how can I say it - baggy bits.
I'm not saying that you should join a gym, there are plenty of exercises that you could do at home.
Got an exercise bike ? No. Then run up and down your stairs twenty times a day and increase the amount if you feel you can do more. Try some sit-ups, get a low stool and do some step-aerobics. Get yourself a skipping rope (that'll really burn some calories). You got a dog ? Take him/her for long walks, and if not, go by yourself, there's nothing wrong with that.
Stick to the diet, do the exercise (everyday) come the summer time all three stone will be gone.
You'll be feeling fit and healthy.
Good luck.

Answer 3

Join Weight Watchers and start exercising at least 4 times per week. You can easily do it by August.
Good luck x

Answer 4

To lose weight make sure your diet is healthy - no limiting your intake of basic food groups. Consume your BMR (basal metabolic rate this is how many calories your body uses per day to keep you alive) per day.Do exercise on top of this. A simple equation of how this works is shown below:

Take BMR to equal 1500 calories, calories consumed to equal BMR and exercise done to equal 500 calories.
(BMR)-(Consumed =1500) = 0, this would maintain your weight without any exercise.

Now, add in the calories bured through exercise:
(BMR-consumed)-(exercise=500) = -500.
Minus 300 calories per day would (as 3500 calories equal about 1 pound in weight) mean a weight loss of 1 pound in a week.

As for exercise, do cardio. E.g. cycling, rope jumping, swimming, jogging, playing tennis etc.

Answer 5

Aw your a sweet, you can do it before August... I help you, just cycle for the first two weeks about half hour every day... After that do 1hour and a half. Drink plenty of fluids, cut down bread, milk, oil, butter and eat plenty of fruit. You should be in great shape soon as.xx
