Hey,i'm anisha. Best way to lose weight fast and get leaner is to join your self in activities such as tennis or swimming.You'll have fun, not think about food and lose tons of weight!Try not eat junk food!Eat it like once a week. Drink atleast 8 mugs of water a day. Oh Yeah you want to do your outside activity about 2-3 times a week,on the other days walk for an hour,jog 30 min.or runfor 20 min.,rest on one of the week,try not to eat any junk food on that day.Good Luck! By the way I weigh 110 ,it's the highest i have ever been because i try to live healthy.P.S.Do everythin toget exercise(climing stairs instead of elevator)and do this for atleast 3-4weeks and you will see the pounds melting off.Keep doing this and you will be quite slim! bye and good luck.:->

Well do u do basketball? I do it helps me lose weight. We have to do 25 jumping jacks, run around like 5 laps or 10, do 25 situps, do do 10 pushups, lie down on back and hold feet like 2 inches in air for 25 secs, hop to somewhere like 20 feet away and back, then run to somewhere like 20 or 30 feet away, then do side to side ( right and left) to somewhere 20 or 30 feet just keep doing this method, and check if there is any results. I had great results but not anymore because basketball season is over ( mad) now im over wieht agian i'm gonna keep doing this method too. C ya

Thats not a crunch, thats a situp. A crunch is when you sit the same way but you only go up high enough so that your shoulder blades are off the ground. There harder than situps because you can't just throw yourself up, you have to go slow enough so that you go far enough but now to far. In gym we have to do 45 of them and we do them really fast to...there hard but good exersise. Some other exersises are pushups (modified or normal), jumping jacks, a exersise video like Pilates or Dance Dance Revoulution (I've never tried that one but a lot of people on here use it), Richard Simmons or something like that. You could also buy a treadmill or other exerise equpiment but thats really expensive and takes up a lot of room. For something more fun you could just dance to your favorite CDs or the radio. Well I hope this helps *Ray*Ray* Oh yeah and losing weight isn't about just exersise, you should change your diet too. Good Luck!

Ht. 5'6", Today: 175 lb (BMI %tile: 97) - hey i am jen. i weigh about 175 and i am around 5'6'..anyways i own dance dance revolution...it is wicked fun and great exercise...you can look it up at ddrfreak.com...so if ur lookin for a good exercise thing this is a great plan because unlike many videos, it's fun..my sister's friend owns it too and played it for about 1 hour everyday, and after 2 weeks she had lost 10 pounds...the only problem is it's pretty expensive...the latest ps2 and x-box games go for about $40 and the mats can cost anywhere from 20-200 dollars depending on the quality...if ur lookin to buy it e-bay is the best place
