Please help me, I've been trying to loose weight for the longest time, I got down from 165 to 155. But that's it, and I've gained a few pounds back in the past days because I ate a bunch of junk food. I've been trying to loose weight for myself all of this time, because i wanted to. But now there's another reason for me to loose weight, i really like this guy and he's really thin and muscular. I feel like he won't like me unless i loose some weight, i'm 5'7'' and want to get down to about 120. I'm ready to do this now and i just need some tips to get me going. I've planned my week so i can get to the gym 3-4 times a week for 1.5 - 2 hours each time, (i'm waking up at 5:30am but if it's gonna work it's worth it.)so please anyone send me tips on how to eat healthy, eat less, exersize more, and more effectively and just tips on how to loose weight. and the quicker the better. you can e-mail me if you want at lalalalara@hotmail.comthanks

Hey, a long time ago i used to be 165 too. Im 5'5' and currently wiegh 142lbs. First of all, hitting the gym for hours at a time is not realistic and u could hurt your body that way, 30min, to an hour is enough each day. I know how you feel about the guy, ive felt the same way too, but losing the weight is a gradual thing and can't be done quickly. I can tell u how im losing wieght, my goal is 125lbs. I eat healthy, no junk food, pizza, ice cream, or in between meal snacks. The food bar section of this website will help u out with what to eat. As for excercise Tae-Bo w/ Billy Blanks is the best! Every part of your body slims down, 30min to an hour everyday. I guarantee you that you will lose wieght this way. Don't try the lose wieght quick schemes because they DO NOT work, any of them. All they do is make u lose water wieght witch is very dangerous because u need that water, and it just leaves the fat.Your muscles start to wear away too. About this guy, its good u want to be healthy and lose wieght but do it for you, not for this guy. If he doesn't like u for who u are (i know it sounds corny but its true) and only judges girls by what they look like then girl, he's not worth it. You'll definetly see visual permanent results in 3months, you'll look and feel better, but u have to be patient, and be serious enough about it to do it for the long haul.
hoped i could help, lata
