Well, my advice is the following: If you are trying to lose weight, you have to bear in mind that you don't just eat well (or less) than before to lose the weight and then retreat to your old habits. You need to change your eating habits FOR LIFE or you'll never be able to keep the weight off. But, eating healthy or doing portion-control is not so bad as it sounds. If you get good-tasting stuff, you'll be alright--for life! Also remember to indulge a litte every week, not every day. :) hope this helped, Hali!!!

Try running it'll help. I used to hate running I could never breathe. When I realized how fast I was I loved running. I had big leg then I started running and they got smaller. If you have seen my message you may think I should run but I haven't got as much time. It sustains my weight for now but my stomach is fat not my legs. Hope my advice helps.

yo whats up the smart thing to do is stay away from take out as much as you can. 30 min a day of work out like a 10 min walk morning after noon and night will help. you eat healthy and work out and you will lose wait you need to give it time it dont happen over night good luck!!
