   Reduce your calorie intake and strength train. Pills and drinks are unsafe gimmicks.

   Take baby in stroller with friends and walk. If you walk around the block 5 times that’s about a mile.You get great exercise, feel better and sleep good.

   Take care..hope this helps.

   you should really eat good foods like fruits and veggies. You should also exercises 30 minuets a day but don’t over exercise because that will not help you but maybe make things worse. you can also join a food program like Jenny Creg. Good luck!

   Slimquick might work for you. It helped me lose 6 lbs in a week. Just make sure you exercise and eat healthy.

   Pills work 0% of the time. Nada, nope, zilch, they never will. They are a waste of money and-in some cases-dangerous to your health.

   Here’s a good idea: Just eat healthy and exercise regularily. Try yoga, running, jump-roping etc. Eat fruits and veggies. Drink milk.

   But basically: Join the club. Everybody wants to lose weight for summer.
   Don’t worry so much about appearances. Just enjoy life, and enjoy your baby, because I bet he (or she) loves you no matter what.

   I’ve given this advice before and I’ll do it again. Follow these instructions exactly and you’ll be losing weight like nobodies business.

   1. Drink lots of water, at least 1 liter a day.
   2. Go on a sugar diet. Do not have even a drop of sugar.(Natural sugars in things like fruits and vegetables are okay.)
   3. Exercise. You only have to exercise enough to where you’re sweating. And you’ll want to do just a little bit more every day.

   If you follow these instructions exactly, you will be losing anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds a week. Hope I Helped. Good Luck.

   Running…how many competitive long distance runners have you seen with big stomach or fat legs. You won’t be able to do it very fast but if you get started now and push it you should be able to make a significant improvement in the next 2-3 months. Plus if you have a little one you can use a jogging stroller and take him/her along. I would recommend starting with ~1 mile and work your way up. Also, don’t forget you need a balance of proper nutrition, resistance and cardio excercise, and sometimes good supplements (ripped fuel or any thermognenic fat burner).
   - Jump rope (60s on, 30s off). Repeat 5-10 times (but alternate with the items below)
   For thighs:
   - quads – do wall sits. Put your back against a wall and pretend you’re sitting in a chair. Hold as long as you can. Back up, then repeat.
   - Butt/quads: do Lunges (no weights). Walk across the floor doing thigh bends (your knee should almost hit the ground). Go slow and concentrate
   - Mountain climbers: get down on all fours like you’re going to climb a mountain. One foot up and one foot back…alternate feet in a jump fashion (go for 60s, 30s rest)
   - Sumo squats: grap a light (10-20 lb) weight. hold the the weight in your hands inbetween your legs. Point your feet outward and squat down and back up (go for 60s, 30s rest)
   - Jump lunges: grab one light dumb bell (5-10 lbs each) in each hand and start in a lunge position. Jump and switch feet and land in a lunge position (go for 60s, 30s rest)
   - Side lunges: grab one light dumb bell (5-10 lbs each) in each hand and start standing straight up. Lunge right, then back up, then left (go for 60s, 30s rest)
   - hamstrings – get an ab ball (can get for ~$10). lay on the ground and put your feet up on the ball (extended). With your butt off the ground use your hampstring muscles to pull the ball into your butt. Extend out and repeat
   - side jumps – get a step (or something similar). jump over it non-stop (side to side) for 60s, take a 30s break and repeat (4 times).
   - Also do inner/outer thigh machine or use resistance bands (get a trainer at the gym to show you). You can usually get a one time session for free and resistance bands don’t cost that much (so you can buy some and do at home)
   - Eating and stomach (abs)
   You can (and should) eat 5-6 semi-small nutritious meals…speeds up your metabolism and prevents you from being too hungry. Don’t load up with ‘tons’ of food and don’t cut your calories to bare mininum (1K) as this slows down your metabolism.
   You can try eating various things: fresh fruit, chicken, brown rice, broccoli, beef jerky, protein shake, applesauce (no sugar added), veggies, lean ground turkey, turkey sausages, Low sugar protein bars (or try Kashi bars). Oh, and substitute any junk food with Odwalla bars (the choco. chip ones are fabulous and have 8 grams of protein). (I’m ‘frugal’ too and can still find good, healthy food to eat)
   If you eat ~7 a.m. ~10 a.m. 1p.m. 4 p.m. 7p.m. (and 10 p.m. if you’re up late you should be great. Get your excercise/workout in b/w any of those meals (or directly prior)
   You don’t need many weights or machines. You can get one of those ab balls online or at a Target/Wal-mart for like $10-$15. Do abs using the ball…always works your core. Also get some resistance bands and you can work your legs (outer thighs) as well. Go for a run or do some sprints to get in better shape. Pick up some sports/activities with your friends.
   - Oblique exercises (twisting – works your ‘love handles’). Do a lot of these using the ab ball: sit on the ball hold a 10 lb weight and walk your feet forward. ‘Lay down’ and with the weigh above you twist to one side-up-pause-twist to the other side. Ensure you’re using your obliques to do the work.
   - Start taking a thermogenic fat burner (will burn fat faster when your body temp rises – i.e. working out), ripped fuel, or hydroxycut hardcore before your workouts. Don’t exceed the daily recommended allowance and drink plenty of water. You don’t NEED these, they just help burn fat faster while providing energy. You could take a multi-vitamin instead (relatively cheap at Wal-mart)

   Hope that helps…you should start making significant progress (while eating real food) if you follow this advice and work hard. Remember…you need the resistance training so don’t exclude it (do circuit training if you need to). Lots or reps…15-20 and increase the resistance as you get stronger.

   1. exercise for 30 minutes every day.
   try jogging or running on the tredmill or join a sport like baseball or soccer.

   2. stop eating/drinking anything with refined sugars or that is processed.
   sugers turn into fat. Sugars actually turn into fat quicker than other foods

   3. drink 64 oz. of water every day (this might be hard, but that is the amount u should aim to get every day)
   When a person is thirsty, the brain sends messages to your throat and stomach. Even though the throat might be trying to tell you that u r thirsty, the signals in the stomach are more noticeable. The stomach makes you feel hungry when you are actually thirsty sometimes. So, when u r hungry, u might be thirsty, so try drinking water first

   4. watch your calories
   aim to only eat about 2500 calories a day. One pound of fat is made up of 3500 calories. If you eat less than 2500 calories a day and only eat about 2000 calories a day. If you do this, you will lose about a pound a week

   To be more specific, you can…

   1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs

   more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of

   coffee to get the blood going also.

   2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don’t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already

   you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning

   hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.

   3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies,

   candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.

   4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why

   it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.
