my dad went on the south beach diet. he lost 40 pounds, and has kept it off for over 5 years. just follow the plan it and you’ll lose it. however, you have to be pretty disciplined. if you buy the south beach diet book, it has lots of food recipes for you. good luck! hope this helps!

you also have to exercise regularly. try running 3 miles 3 times a week, then adding in more exercises over time. swimming is good too.

spread your food types for a week and eat them all in mini bites. this means, you still eat ice cream, chocolates, and everything else but only once a week and in very small ‘matchbox’ portions. This way, you do not crave for them.

Then, do cardio exercise. walk, run, aerobics, you name it. or you can ust join a dance club and dance on the dance floor for at least 3 hours a night. (no alcohol please)

This should be fun to work on! Okay, you can try enrolling in some classes like: kickboxing, yoga, pilates, or etc. Or go to a gym! I did that & my calves turned out great! My legs look great from that. Or you can try going on a diet where you only eat 1500 calories a day & just keep yourself occupied! Get involved in alot of stuff ( if you’re not already ) and by doing that you won’t think about eating! Chew gum alot! Or everytime you’re about to eat something you shouldn’t, just think about how you’re trying to lose weight and use self control Oh and another way is by getting a physical trainer! They’re tough, but they’re great! I hope this helped!

I’m currently in high school as a junior this year, and I’m planning to lose thirty pounds by my senior year in july of 2009. I’m 5′7 at 180 pounds. anyone have any tips to lose 30-40 pounds within ten months and how to keep the weight off ? thanks in advance for the advice and tips !

if your looking to lose weight, and keep it off - there is only one way to do this. excercise, and eat healthy. losing weight is aprox 70% diet and 30% exercise - so make sure you are eating healthy, small meals through out the entire day. also, an hour (or more) of cardio 4-5 days a week will help you lose the weight faster. lifting weights will tone your body, but also make you gain weight, so if you’re looking to ‘tone up’ - you should go by inches lost, not pounds - as you may only lose 20 lbs, but have lost 30 lbs of fat - and gained 10 lbs of muscle. you’ll notice a difference in the way you feel in about a week - and notice the way you look in about a month. if you want to be healthier and way less, you’re going to have to change the way you live, eat, and excercise. that’s all there is to it. don’t buy into any of the ‘quick fixes’ or diet fads. they don’t work, and can be unhealthy for you. good luck

Hi there,

I think you might be getting a little mixed up with what you want exactly. You say that you want to lose “weight” but that means you might want to get rid of some muscle too. You then say that you’d like to “shape” (I’d call it tone) your body a little which implies you want to build some muscle. I’m not trying to pick at your question - I just want to clarify the point for you.

To answer it in the best way, I am going to look at it as if you want to get rid of fat AND build muscle at the same time. If you’re looking to “trim” and “tone” your body, and espectially because you suggest you are not that overweight, I would suggest you start performing more intensive aerobic exercises such as jogging. I wouldn’t think you need to change the whole way you eat or go on a diet because if you’re wanting to build muscles - it’s better to do it all with exercise.

Exercises like jogging won’t exactly “build” your muscles on your stomach but they will help reduce the extra fat around there. Depending on how fit you are, you should go on daily or bi-daily jogs of around a mile. To build muscles, you should concentrate on anaerobic exercises such as sit-ups to help build muscles.

These muscle-building exercises will give your muscles the toning and training they need to grow and become more prominent. To start to see a real difference with sit-ups, you should be looking to do no more than 100 every day (more than that will often hurt your muscles).

If you stick to doing those two forms of exercise - jogging and sit-ups, you should see real improvements in a week or two. Remember, you should do them as often as you can (I.E every single day).

I deem that it requires excessive tumescence and gravidity. My personal recommendation is becoming cognizant of when your gastronomical satiety admonishes you that you have arrived at the ultimate stage of deglutition consistent with dietetic integrity, and cease mastication (and equivalent operations of an alimentary nature) a common base unit number of minute discrete passages of time before then. That you swallow this exhortative is my hope.

Peace and eupeptic feelings be with you, good luck!
