This post is a repeat.

I was just better off to go to King Soopers or any big named supermarket (not Wal-Mary) and get a big salad that has meat and veggies (dressing's free) for like $4

What I've found works for me (diet wise) is a combination of cutting out sugar and portion control. Most people tend to overeat because they don't know the proper portions of packaged food (for instance, the portion of bread for most loaves is 1 slice). Also, trying to ensure that I eat at least five serving of fruits/vegetables a day really helps.

As for exercise, it doesn't need to be anything extreme like weight-lifting and so on; that kind of exercise is more for toning and doesn't burn fat all that fast. All you need is to do something aerobic; anything that gets your heart rate up. This can be anything from simply walking around the block every day to WiiFit or joining a pilates class.

But most important, it's about what works best for YOU. Everybody's body is different and functions in different ways. Try a few different methods and see what helps you the most

I LOVE DDR-used to play it all the time but I am really lazy so......
YOu can get dance central too. Dance central is really good because you move your whole body. You can also go to the gym, or try swimming. Swimming helps or you can always take dance classes-you can buy tapes in the library for super cheap. like VCRS lol XD

Wii Fit is a lot more interesting than you might think by just looking at it. In particular the aerobics and balance games are actually pretty fun, and the yoga stuff is quite well presented and relaxing.

It's not my kind of thing tho. I hate 'calm' and 'relaxing' stuff xD Because I have too much energy and I've tried it at a friends house once but after it I felt like running 3 laps around the street.

That's what the aerobics and balance games are for :P You wanna run laps? There's a minigame for that, you put the Wii Remote in your pocket and jog!

Nah I just want a 'fun' game too, not just for my health. Kinect is more my thing. If I just wanna work out and run I'll go to the gym :P (which I still need to apply for T__T I forgot)

I'd probably suggest trying to do some strengthening exercises.

Also a small walk once a day couldn't hurt any either.

I'm not for sure if they'd help you lose weight, but you might feel a bit better if you did both. <3

I basically walk everywhere, hell even in cons I have to then when I wore my favorite skirt, something was wrong and when I looked in the mirror I realize my butt was lifted from the muscles but nowhere else.

It was a flat black ass not it's somewhat round white butt

Oh gosh panda...15 more pounds for me and we're of the same weight and lookie here, I'm 5'1" .. see, I'm overweight. X3 I kinda like my body..
But I have to lose some weight for health reasons as what my mom told me.

Also, because my body is an hourglass type, when I do lose weight, my curves show up...and it's crazy.

You're fine, that's a nice weight, Panda. If you want to lose some from your body, lose a little extra fat and just tone your muscles. Don't go skinny. >.<;

I actually have skinny arms and my leg are kinda big because I walk too much. D: I have a lot of muscle on my leg and yeah. I'm only trying to get rid of my man boobs and my stomach and I'm good to go. Because the rest are pretty much skinny and in shape. Weird lols

I know what it is like to want to be skinny.
But trust me it's better to be healthy weight then super skinny.
I was super skinny at one time and I was probably the most miserable person ever, and I found out I had a blood problem.

All I can say is eat more fruit and drink tea, that helps boost the metabolism. Walk more places if you can.
But just loose weight until you feel confident about your weight, don't let anyone tell you other wise.

Oh also I think bigger girls are actually cuter. They always have this optimistic and brightening smile. Most overly skinny girls I know have a thinned out face that looks sad.

I'm 5'10" and 280lbs :P I actually like how my body looks, I just hate how I feel sick or out of breathe when I walk anywhere :C Oh, and my double chin. But other then that. I like my belly and my boobs and my thunder thighs :> Oops?

That is why I wish I could lose weight. Double chin and feeling sick :[

I lost 2 kilo the past week. I have NO idea how I did it, because I don't need to loose weight >_> I'm 1,77m and I weight 61 kilo now O_o;

I agree with the weight lose on the sick part.

I just dont feel -healthy- anymore D= I love the fact that I have huuuggeee hips to sway xD and my bf loves the fact that i'm soft and warm and huggable... So skinny is not an option.

I also want to increase upper body strength.. to support my heaving chest.... by back hurts WAAAY too much ;~;

What I despise is people assuming that I'm starting to exercise because I want to get smaller... and then start ranting about weight loss and all that stuff... I just want to be healthy... and wake up feeling not sick.

If I lose weight in that process then fine by me...but thats not my goal

Duchess, a good way training your back is to lay down (somewhere comfortable) legs straight down and your hands behind your head. Many people have their knees up high when they do abdomen worm exercises (?). But it's best to lay your legs flat on the floor. Then bring your head up. It's up to you if you do only little ones, or to sit up straight completely. You will feel this in your abs but also in your back. Probably your back first, if you haven't done this much before. But don't stop then. some people think you have to stop but don't. You'll train your back muscles and I got even stronger muscles than my boyfriend thanks to this! XD

I also lost weight because being fatty doesn't look good on me at all. I got a small cup but big butt. Soooo it looks reaaally weird if I'm an apple figure with no boobies. Trust me, I do know how it looks like... my sister is about 2 - 3x my size. Now I'm a glass-shape figure and I'm damn proud of that. It's rather rare too, I heard <3

(?) = not sure if I spelt that right lol. I had to look it up on Babelfish @_@
