I see that nobody really answered your question. So i'll try and do my best. First of all losing weight is easy and hard. There are two kinds of people ones with awesome genes that basically have high metabolisms and can do less physical activity and still look great, then there are those (majority) that need to diet and excersise to lose weight, and the older we get the harder it is, because what people forget is that you want to hit your target heart rate during your excersise to get the best results, and the older we get its harder to hit that target heart rate. If you google target heart rate, there different sites that will ask you to plug in your weight and age, and it will give you an approx target heart rate. Okay you look young in your photo so i'll give a diet and workout plan that should help lose the first 10 pounds easy. But it won't be instant. This is a 6-8week program. I had a friend that was pregnant, and a year after delivery she tried this diet and excersise, she lost alot of the pregnancy fat. What she did was wake up every day by 7:30 had a bowl of fruit, juice, glass of water. By 10:30 she would snack on some celery with no dressing or 10-12 pieces of walnuts(good energy) at 12:30pm or 1pm she would have a half a sandwich and a cup of soup, low fat soup, and no cheese on the sandwich or dressing. At 3:30 or 4 she would then have some low fat yogurt. By 6:00 she was having dinner. Six ounces of chicken with steam vegs, and rice. At 8:00pm she was at the gym 20mins on the treadmil, then light full body workout, chest, arms, back,legs,shoulders,traps, abs. Then get back on the tread and do another 20mins get home and start process over again. Also its important to drink 1 gallon of water everyday. I've been drinking a gallon of water everyday for the last 2 months and have lost 3 pounds, by just drinking water and staying away from pizza, soda, and high salty foods. Also get a good night sleep. Also if you are a drinker or smoker, that puts on weight. If you can ride a bike or walk to were ever you need to be do it. At michigan state i walk every where on campus. You gotta stay strong and committed. get yourself a membership if you can afford one, if not, get a bike. Starving yourself is retarded, and taking weight loss pill can effect you liver and heart. So just eat right and workout. Girls have a harder time to lose weight because of your body structure. Focus on your legs and arms and abs. Most girls get saddle bag thighs and chicken drum stick arms, thats where the girls has more fat in her shoulders, so you arm looks like a drumstick. Stay away from beauty mags, they will make you depressed. And remember you are doing this to be healthy for your own sake, you must remember that you are doing this for u and not what other people think about u and your body. If you can mentally back yourself up, your body will follow. peace and good luck homey
