But, you have a problem with your question. How much weight do you want to lose? By leaving this information, you would be able to actually get the information you desire.

Do you really think that we are all psychics? Well, obviously yes.

Go. Walk. Be Free.

There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

see ya!!

I used to have a really really tiny Disney princess waist, but then I got stressed out, lazy and ate emotionally. I have been having two eggs with a piece of wheat toast for breakfast with tea with Splenda and I have lost 4 inches around my waist. I also have more energy.

If you can work out as well, the weight will just disappear. Drink lots of water.

Also, belly fat can be a result of Cortisol which is a hormone caused by stress. It traps fat in your stomach area. Reduce your stress (meditation, working out, saying “no” to stuff you don’t want to do) and see if that helps.

I hope I’ve given you enough options, but you should also remember that bodies are beautiful and as long as we feel good about ourselves and walk with pride, people don’t notice our flaws!

Good luck!

I went vegetarian just over a year ago and lost 8 pounds “accidentally.” I’ve kept it off the whole time (5′6″ and 130 lbs now). I think the reason it happened is because by cutting out meat, I was also cutting out the stuff that came with it - french fries, soda, etc.

More importantly, I have more energy, need less sleep and overall feel much better. The best part is my monthly cramps have disappeared (no extra hormones in my system from processed meat!)

The important things to remember are:
Being vegetarian doesn’t mean you can eat bread and cheese all day. You need to limit the high-carb items and eat stuff like natural peanut butter, hummus, black beans, vegetarian chili, etc. Amy’s Organic is an awesome line of soups, burritos, frozen meals, etc. that are reasonably priced and found at almost every grocery store.

Consider keeping seafood in your diet. Salmon and tuna are great sources of protein and amino acids and are really easy to prepare.

Quit drinking soda - even the diet stuff. It’s full of chemicals and crap that makes you crave it more, and many brands of the diet stuff have tons of sodium, which makes you hungry. If you need caffeine (like I do) have coffee or tea.

You should give it a try, like I did. Just tell yourself “for one week” cut out all meat, and see how it goes. You may be surprised by how easy the transition is. Good luck!

P.S. - Exercise too! Even walking 30 minutes a day will make a world of difference.

The body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.

There will be 5 basic elements you need to adjust to have a healthy lifestyle.
They are:

1. Your Eating
2. Your Water Intake
3. Maintaining a balance of cardio and resistance exercise
4. Smart supplementation
5. Sleeping the best amount of time.

I could give you a long detailed explanation but you can find each one of those aspects detailed in the source link.

i would suggest for the best way to start losing weight easily is to eat 6 times a day a meal about the size of your fist and EAT THE FOOD PYRAMID - all of these dumbass fad diets are out of control - and feel free to eat as many fruits as you want

eating 5-6 or more times per day teaches the body that it no longer has to reserve energy via fat - it will know that you’re going to feed it again shortly

it may take a couple weeks but it works and it’s not dangerous like the all protien diets - etc

another way is a fast for a day or two to release toxins from your body - clean the slate - drink only green tea that day some thing with anti-oxidants - then the next day you can begin the diet i laid out

Things to improve liver function - this fat appears usually when liver does not manage all toxic things it should, e.g. infusions with dandelion root, chelicrysum blossoms, etc. Take care of the kind of food you eat. When you sit near PC, your liver is pressed and may suffer too.

8,000,000 or more people in the United States have an eating disorder. 90% are women. Eating disorders usually start in the teens but may begin as early as age 8!

It’s healthy to watch what you eat and to exercise. What isn’t healthy is worrying all the time about your weight and what you eat. People with eating disorders do harmful things to their bodies because of their obsession about their weight.

Bear with me… I’m doing a deep research on how you can lose weight quickly…and safely (without developing eating disorders).

I love it, I think it’s the best thing since diurex.

Other things I’ve found that help are to compare the various meal replacement shakes (Boost, Ensure, SlimFast, Spirutein, Fiber35Diet, even Myoplex and Whey Protein), and mix them with Soy Milk, sometimes Chocolate Soy Milk, sometimes even Hazelnut milk (if the mix is chocolate flavor, it’s great with Hazelnut milk). I use these to replace a meal, sometimes several meals a week.

Of course I take a multivitamin and multimineral too to keep from running a deficit on anything.

Since you’re 5′, it’s not hard for you to stay at a low enough weight for the dancer clothes. I’m 5′11″ so since most dancer clothes max out at weight of 140 lbs, you can imagine how hard it is for me.

Another hint is to always cary small bits of candy with you (Swedish fish, gummy bears, or hard candy), and eat small amounts of it during hard workouts. The small amount of sugar keeps your heart and brain from feeling starved and making you feel exhausted - which leads to huge carb cravings after working out. Not to mention it helps your stamina during workouts. It’s way more important than water.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. Read up on marathon/sprint runners, etc in “The Lore of Running” by Tim Noakes MD. (Do I sound like Reading Rainbow? I love that show!)

What some athletes do is drink a small amount of YS Bee Farms “Alive Bee Power” mixed into their water. It provides a little bit of sugar, and immune system support foods. You can buy small amounts of it and try it out. You only need something like this if you’re working out hard enough to make you tired, irritable, and prone to getting every cold that comes down the block.

WATER MYTHS
Drinking gallons of water is myth. Just drink enough. At least four 8 ounce glasses if you’re not exercising. At least 6 if you are. It doesn’t matter if the water contains something like coffee, or soda in it too. That’s a myth too. Research it yourself online. It’s easy enough to find the studies. Maybe start with snopes.com.

What matters is that the water doesn’t bloat you. So keep a diuretic handy. Either diurex (Pamabrom), or the long-acting diurex (A combination of ingredients), or uva-ursi tea, or drinking coffee (IF you don’t drink it everyday). The important thing with water is to keep it moving. In, out.

PORTION CONTROL
The best place for portion control is Weight Watchers. Truly there’s nobody who’ll teach it better.

But while it’s important to know that in the long run, the fastest way to lose weight is to use a meal replacement shake. That’s because it’s mindlessly simple and easy. And you’ll have enough trouble with your appetite and managing your desires when you’re losing weight. Why add more dimensions like portion control to it? Add that later, after you’ve gained comfort with cutting down the calories.

One step at a time. Portion control is the hard way. Slim Fast and its cousin diets are the easy way because there’s no thinking until later when you return to normal life. But by then, you’ve lost the weight, and you have an investment in keeping it off. It’s up to you which way you go.

You can pick a planned liquid diet like Slim Fast, MediFast, or whatever, or you can just make one yourself with the tons of shakes out there and meal bars out there. You get more control over it if you make it up yourself.

Good luck and I hope it works out.

Right before fitting take an ***** to get out those 5 to 20 pounds of waste. They come back after a day and a half but site has ways to minimize how much comes back. Then right before wedding do it again to temporarily look better than normal. After learning about it, I wondered if Britney Spears does this before making an appearance or music video. Well you have seen photos of celebrities at events looking great but also on street looking not so great. Mae West used to take an ***** every morning.

omgheroc, I’ve been trying this acai berry stuff for about two months, its pretty cool. i’ve lost about 25 pounds, yay me! but ya, if you want more information just go to . you can try out a free sample if your interested but i just thought there was some pretty good information on the site that’s worth reading about.

Good luck

hope i helped

You will loose weight on a good diet. make a wide range of carbohydrates ( pasta, rice, bread etc) vegetables and fruit, meat. Water is very important. My answer earlier about water …….

Water Keeps you body hydrated :Water is needed to help these parts working.
Blood is 83% water
Muscles are 75% water
The brain is 74% water
Bone is 22% water

Without water you blood is thicker so its harder to pump it around the body
Water is necessary for your body to digest and absorb vitamins and nutrients
Detoxifies the liver and kidneys, and carries away waste from the body
Water is needed to join with fibre to help in digestion- without it it causes constipation
Keeps skin healthy, glowing and elastic-like
Reduces Headaches and dizzy spells
Improve, energy and physical and mental awareness
Reduces weight. Aids in weight loss

SO yes water IS VERY important. 8 glasses a day

Some say low carb. Some say high carb. Some say it’s how much food. Some say it’s how much exercise. But none of these covers the whole picture.

Good for you. I was 240 and found out that I had high blood pressure, when I lost the 40, my blood pressure was under control. So even a small weight loss can make you healthier.

Also start any kind of exercise, walking, bike riding, yoga, whatever.

You can do it!!!!

Diet and exercise are the key. Contact a doctor and make sure you have no medical problems that may be causing some of the weight like a Thyroid problem.

You have to get out of that chair and away from the front of that computer to get the exercise. See if you can find someone to work out with you so you are not so on your own with it. Stay way from Carbohydrates like bread and breaded foods French fries and heavy starchy foods. Your blood pressure will come down some when your weight comes down but you should probable be on some meds to control your blood pressure while you lose the weight.

Walking is damn good exercise and its free. Vegetables are your friend but once again not the starchy ones and not macaroni and cheese which I for one think is one of the best inventions in the culinary world. Drink a lot of water while you diet. it will help keep you hydrated and a little fuller. Carrot sticks and celery sticks and some fat free ranch dressing are tasty treats and make a good healthy snack for in between meals and an apple a day goes a long way. Don’t forget to eat breakfast. Cantaloupe and low fat yogurt are great and strawberries and yogurt are wonderful too. A hand full of blueberries and a small bowl of raisin bran with skim milk or yogurt and raisins or strawberries is another good choice but cereal has carbs and if you want to lose weight you can’t pig out on the cereal.

Remember, you have to decide to lose the weight and no one can do it for you. They can do it with you but not for you.

Good luck and Happy dieting!!
