Hi
I am a personal trainer. There is no magic pill or magic way to lose weight fast. The only healthy quick way is eat good healthy food, and rather than eating 3 large meals, eat more frequent (i.E. 5 meals) meals that are smaller in amount. This will speed your metabolism. If you simply just starve yourself you might lose weight but you will be losing too much muscle. Starving makes your body's metabolism slow and it actually stores more fat because it senses fasting. So diet is very important. Second, cardio. Perform cardio a minimum of 3 days a week with 30 min sessions and get your heart rate up! Running melts the fat off the quickest. Doing that (eventually) like 5 days a week and eating right the weight loss will snowball and it will melt off. You will see results probably after the first few weeks. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

I agree with the personal trainer** more meals a day, smaller portions and doing cardio* dont go overboard though. And whatever u do , u still have to eat enough to keep your metabolism going, especially when working out*

I definatly agree with the pt. 5-6 meals a day enough protein and carbohydrates. Veggies with a couple of your meals each day. Cardio. It's work. It isn't fun running until you get used to it and it becomes easier. The more you do it the easier it becomes, the more fun it becomes. Always work though. If your not willing to put forth an effort and really push yourself on your 20-30 minute runs. It just isn't going to happen overnight. Determination and willpower keep you going at first but like pushing a box, it's harder to get started than to keep going. It becomes a lifestyle. Gl and enjoy it.

Get a dog!
I just got a big dog -- now I don't feel guilty about leaving a bit of food on my plate, since it won't go to waste. Plus, I take her out walking for at least an hour altogether each day. I've had her a month and i've already lost three pounds, plus I am much more fit, with fat turning to muscle especially on my bum and thighs.

Hey nessa.
Everyone is different.I was never a big woman,but every woman wants to be little.I wanted to lose weight quickly to "show" my now ex-husband I can look good,and to show myself I can do it! (to put me down,he used to call me horrible names)i don't really like exercising but I started the slim-fast diet back in 2000.I drank 1-8oz.Glass of sf in the morning,and 1-8oz.Glass in the afternoon and 1 meal at dinner.I stopped eating bread,potatoes,and all sweets,except for 3-4 cups of coffee all day...Hey,i'm not a saint:) do you believe I lost 25 pounds in1 1/2 months?When I went out one night I bumped into my ex-husband and he said,"what are ya trying to do,kill me". I was all decked out,dressed in black,my hair and nails done.So..... My method is slim-fast...And water throughout the day.I still keep my weight down.It also has alot to do with will power.I don't want to look like "slim jim" but I don't feel comfortable being big.Water gets ya moving also. I use the powder sf.It's cheaper.I fill my empty bottle of 12oz oj to the middle with milk and a scoop of vanilla,strawberry,or chocolate powder sf,shake it up,and there is my breakfast and lunch.(i will snack on crackers in the afternoon to suppress my appetite).I do not eat dinner after 7or 8pm.Have a nice day...Smile:)
