No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Good Luck!

Just think on how fat you can get, and all the work you'll have to do to loose that extra.\n\nYou R what you eat

Eat less portions, and make sure you get plenty of exercise. When you exercise- your body starts to burn fat.

By eating well and doing lots of exercise. Simple. Mostly a good variety of fruit, veg,  occasional fish and meat.\n\nTo lose weight, your calorie intake must be lower than your calorie expenditure. If you eat less than you consume you won't lose weight indefinitely because every pound of body weight adds to your calorie expenditure: as your weight decreases, so will the energy demand on your system. Eventually, you will find an equilibrium that fits your dietary intake.\n\nIf you are doing low indurance exercise (e.g. jogging), you will lose fat and muscle until your weight matches your intake, BUT!!! if you finish a low indurance session with some higher indurance exercise (weights around 50 reps) you will encourage your muscles to hang onto their fibres and the fat will disappear quicker. This is how you get "in shape" and get a nice cut physique.\n\nIf you are new to exercise, be aware of "the training curve"... If you are not exercising regularly, your muscles will accummulate fuel (glycogen). When you start to exercise regularly, after initial aches and pains called the IDOMS, you will find a spurt in your fitness. You'll feel pretty good! But...\n\nAs you continue to run down your fuel reserves, your body is not accustomed to putting these back as quick as you are burning them. After your initial spurt there may come a point when you feel drained and you can't face your exercise sessions because your just too pooped...\n\nThis is the time to train to improve your fitness: train your body to replenish the muscle fuel you are burning! This is a key hurdle to getting fit. It's really hard and it can take time but once you are through it you'll feel great!\n\nMental preperation is key because getting in shape requires a lifestyle change and people are generally comfortable in their lifestyle, even if they're not happy with it. Be under no illusions: lifestyle changes are difficult! \n\nMake a list of all the stuff you don't like about your lifestyle now and stick it on the door of your fridge. To remind you of why you are doing what you are doing. \n\nPrepare yourself for the times when you will feel like avoiding your sessions (due to training curve and all other kinds of excuses): write a note to [your future self] to be read when [your future self] is thinking of avoiding a session that explains to [your future self] why you would please like [your future self] to stop being a big wuss and get [your future self's] backside out of the door and onto the freaking bike!

you're probably not gonna want to hear this but there is no quick and safe way to lose weight; but there is a sure way. It will take some time. Increase your physical activity and reduce your caloric intake. Simply eat a little less and exercise a little more. Exercise doesn't have to be working out all the time. Any sustained  activity will work. Take brisk walks, wash your car, whatever. IT WILL WORK! you just have to be patient because it takes time but losing weight slower inceases the chances that it will stay off.No gimmicks or fad diets; just common sense.

eat less. exercise more.\n\nwhat is so dam* hard about that?? DON'T waste your money on pills and powders and all the other unbelievable stuff out there. Simply eat less and exercise more. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE not to lose weight if you are burning more calories than you are taking in!

Listen, there is no easy way to losing weight. Weight loss occurs when calorie output is less than calorie input. So in other words you burn more than you eat. If you were to do this without exercise, you would not be allowed to eat too many calories. \n\nYou really need activity to lose weight as it increases your metabolism and burns what you ate in the day. If you don't you will not have great shape. Many people that are think have high body fat % so they are still not healthy. You need to consider the fact that if you want to maintain a healthy weight exercise can assist in maintaining your weight once you reach your goal. \n\nMany people lose weight and then gain it back cause they stop exercising and healthy eating. The only way to maintain your weight is to be consistent and following a healthy eating and exercise plan for life.

When you exercise, you cannot target a specific area for weight loss. That is a severely got-way-out-of-freaking-control myth. \n\nYour best bet overall is just do some cardio training. Not only will you burn calories productively, but you're build up your endurance for dancing or cheerleading or whatever you want to do. \n\nWhatever you do, don't skimp on the food, take laxatives, or any other extremely STUPID weight loss idea that may cross your mind if you get more desparate. The key here is excercise and discipline. \n\nAnd hey quite frankly if you're at a healthy weight for your age/height...and your stomach is supposedly in the way of getting a dancing or cheerleading position, you may want to put your self-value a little higher and reconsider your aspirations here. \n\nIn any case, if you exercise, go for something general and effective. Targetting areas only works for building muscle, and then at that point it's about eliminating fat. Know that EVERY person you know has a six pack...some of us just have a bit of cushioning in the way  :p

yes you are slightly I'm just being honest, I'm 6"2 and 154lbs and I'm underweight so we all have this problem. Just excercise for half an hour to an hour 4 times a week. Probably running or cycling is a good work out to lose a few pounds. I hope that helps you

Just use your head.  \n\nYou know the only way to lose fat is to burn more calories than you eat.  \n\nYou know each pound of fat = 3500 calories.  It is simple arithmetic.  \n\nThe best thing you can do is work out.  Start out slowly so that you build up your strength and endurance gradually and don't hurt yourself.  Then, as you get stronger and longer-lasting, you can really put your body to the test.  And at that point you will have to ask yourself if you really do want to lose weight after all - because extra weight to the athlete = stored energy.

Losing weight is easy: Just eat less. Keeping it off is hard. This involves a life style change. And exercise needs to be part of it. There is nothing hard about exercise. Just go out for a walk. You don't have to run. Just walk. Walk around the block. Then, after a while, 2 blocks. Then work up to 3 blocks. \n\nAnd while your exercising, eat a little less and eat healthy. Cut back on the calories, starting with about 200 calories less than you eat now. Give it a couple weeks, and if that is not working, cut back another 100 to 200 calories. The calories you eat should come from mostly proteins and good carbs. Cut back (or cut out) refined sugars and fatty foods - especially trans-fat.
