Diets and diet pills don't work so your choice of taking exercise which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is a good one.  However, do you really need to lose the weight?  The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscle mass weighs four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life (even in men). The question to ask yourself is - do your clothes fit better and how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh.  If you think you look untoned, then incorporate some light weights (low weight, high repetitions) into your regime.  Incidentally, sweat can't be reabsorbed by the body.  Hope this helps.

Do not skip meals. Have a fat-free diet with lots of fibre in it.Avoid fried and oily stuff, red meat, eggs, sugar, alcohol,coke, milk, butter etc. Walk at a brisk pace for minimum 45 minutes daily. Salads, soups,fruits low in sweetness are good. Have brown bread, skimmed milk. Lots of water and liquid diet also help. Keep a record of what you eat, how long you walk or excercise, and your weight on a daily basis.\n\nCabbage soup is supposed to be a good fat burner. This alongwith veg salads and fruits for one week with walking daily twice for 30 minutes can bring down weight by 3 pounds. Do not do this continuously beyond  a week at a time. You can do so every alternate week. Have a b-complex tablet every alternate day.\n\nIf you have any side effects, see  a doctor.\n\nWish you all the very best.

I used to be 10kgs overweight and did the following (Lost about .5kgs each week over a four month period, trimed down more after that and am now at a stable weight with < 6% body fat)\n\nFollow the 80/20 rule. \n\nIf your diet is really bad, focus 80% on that, 20% on exercise.\nNutrition:\ncut out alcohol\nbalance 1 portion protein/1 portion carbs in every meal. A portion is what can fit easily in one hand - and eat lots of vegetables\ndrink 2 litres water\nhave 5-6 meals a day\nplan your meals the night before - be prepared\nuse only slim foods - no chikcen skin, no cream, no lollies/sweets. cut out butter, mayonaise etc, pizza, fried foods\nExercise:\nModerate all round for first 3-4 weeks - but - each worekout consists of 4-5 exercises, with 6 reps each:\n\ne.g Bench Press\nset 1: 12 reps, 60kg\nset 2: 10 reps increase weight 65kg\nset 3: 8 reps increase weight 70kg\nset 4: 6 reps increase weight 72.5kg\nset 5: 12 reps increase weight 75kg\nset 6: 12 reps new exercise from same body group e.g. incline press 50kg\n\nIf you want to focus on abs, do 3x20 crunches on a swiss/ exercise ball after each workout session.\n\nTip: your workout should only take 45mins each day - and try to do a minimum of 3-4 days per week. If you are keen on running, fit this in for 20 minutes every other day.\n\nDo this and you could expect to loose up to 0.5 kg per week, maybe even a kilo per week 9but no more as your body will not cope with such a rapid weight loss)

techniaccly speaking to lose 10kg in a week is really un healthy.  u'd have to pratically starve urself becuase of the amount of calories that u take in.  in one week you could not lose 10kg maybe in 2-3 weeks and thats with regular heart pumping excercise and a healthy diet and by excercise i'm talking at lest 60minutes a day or maybe more

You would be amazed at how much you have to walk to get 10,000 steps a day!  I have to take extra time out to go for a walk of at least 30 mins to get it all in!  So just by doing that, I am staying fit.  I also do alot of other things to stay slim.

Eat a BALANCED diet (don't starve yourself, and know that it's alright to occasionally indulge) and excercise regularily (make it fun, go for a walk, take the stairs instead of escalators) are the best ways to lose weight.

Brisk walking is a good workout if you are unfit.  Get a pedometer and count your steps. Build up to 10,000 steps a day gradually (increase 10% a week).  Once you are doing the 10thou you can start thinking about other forms of exercise.\nI dont actually think you need to lose weight, you are not heavy.  Just get fit!!  Good luck...:D

Give Atkins or South Beach Diet a try to jump start your diet.  It'll help you make better choices later.  And try to do some sort of exercise daily for at least 30 minutes.  Walking is excellent.  If you can go for longer periods or add 10 minutes here or there throughout the day you'll see big results in no time.  Get a pedometer and see how many steps you take in an average day.  Try to increase it by 2000.  (it's about a mile)  Try to get up to like 8,000 or more to lose weight.  You'll be surprised at how easy it can be.  You'll see how 10 minutes here and there can really add up.  Good luck!

I would say the best way to lose 10 lbs the healthy way is to substitute 2 meals a day with a whole grain cereal and eat the last meal as you normally do. Try this for 2 weeks and get back to me.

The only diet that really works and lasts forever, is one that is healthy and is supplemented by healthy exercise.\n\nMy suggestion would be to take up swimming, and to try to meet the suggested walking target of 10,000 steps a day, buy or get a free pedometer (step counter, some cereals are giving them away).  You can incorporate brisk walking into almost any daily routine.\n\nhttp://www.shapeup.org/10000steps.html\nhttp://www.thewalkingsite.com/10000steps.html\nhttp://www.ivillage.co.uk/dietandfitness/getfit/sportsacts/articles/0,,258_660123,00.html\n\nAs for diets, you should be aiming at a diet that you can sustain and enjoy, avoid fast food (burgers etc) ready meals (TV dinners) and sweets (once you hit your target weight learn to treat once a week only).  Try replacing sweets with cereal bars (watch these as they still have sugars in them) fruit salads, and fruit in general.\n\nAt meal time if you eat of a typical 10 inch plate it should NOT be full, a typical plate piled full of food will have more than double your daily calorie intake, which is why a lot of people have weight problems (one trick here is to eat off a smaller plate, it cons your brain into thinking it's your usual full meal).  Calorie counting  can become very laborious and off-putting, also don't weigh yourself every day, resist temptation until the end of each week.\n\nFinally here are a few sites with some healthy eating suggestions to make mealtimes healthy and enjoyable.\n\nTake a look at the recipes before you go 'yuck this sounds boring' there are loads of tasty stuff\n\nhttp://www.healthyliving.gov.uk/healthyeating/index.cfm?contentID=1401\nhttp://www.thatsmyhome.com/healthy/index.htm\nhttp://www.healthyliving.gov.uk/healthyeating/\nhttp://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/diet/healthy_eating/evening_meal.htm\n\nPS. It's all about conditioning your mind and your body, once you get used to eating healthily you will enjoy it, give the recipes time and don't give up after a few weeks. You have plenty of time to lose the weight, do it in a healthy and sensible way.\n\nOh and congrats on the wedding, have a great day in June/July 2007 :)

A simple guide? Okay, here are the basics, but you probably already know them:\n\n1. You MUST burn more caloies than you consume daily. \n\n2. Drink only water. Soda dehydrates you.\n\n3. Find a physical activity you enjoy & do it at least 4 days per weak for 45 minutes or more at a time. You must get your heart rate up and work up a sweat. (Martial arts class does it for me!)\n\n4. If you exercise before you eat breakfast in the morning, you will lose weight a little faster.\n\n5. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so lifting weights will help.\n\n6. Walk as much as you can in addition to your exercise.....park farther away from the door, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the store if you live close enough, ect.....\n\n7. Stay away from all things fried, sugary, or carbonated.  Eat as many vegetables as you wish.

The simplest (and oldest) exercise to lose weight is walking. I lost 110lbs in 4 months in 1994 by walking 15 miles per day.

Don't push yourself too hard, just start walking or even jogging everyday. Then go from there. Create a schedule to get some exercise at least 3 times a week, and follow it religiously.

Many people recommend that you walk at least 10,000 steps per day.  Get a Pedometer to track the number of steps you take.

I just lost 10 pounds in about 3 months.  I changed my diet some, but mostly I started walking 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week.  It made a huge difference.   Drink lots of water too!
