Question:
Answers:
build muscle. it'll take your extra fat.(fat that didn't get burn)
i don't exactly remember how.
drink lots of water, eat nuts and raisins to increase metabolism
workout.
eat healthy.
eat slowly, because it takes awhile for food to digest, so
it takes awhile to be full after eating.
eating slowly will allow you to know when you're full to eat less.
don't sit in front of the tv while eating.
pretty much pay attention only to your food when you eat
also allow your body to tell you when you're hungry, when it growls, eat.
do aerobic exercises
do 2 30min exercises then have a 20 min break you'll lose more wight than not taking breaks at all
play music that you enjoy, or music that makes you feel like dancing to you'll exercise more/longer
you can run in one place for 15 min per day or more.
or run up and downstairs. or jog/run/walk around your block.
then slowly increase the time, by 5 min per day.
and if you're gonna do sit-ups, cutches, pull=ups, etc. add 10 per day
starving will get you skinnier but at the end of it when you eat normally again your body will be saving it,
and you'll gain weight faster
like bears saving their food for the winter.
also laughing for 10-15 minutes
burns75 calories
If you get cravings in afternoon, it means you're not getting enough food in the day.
Have and extra half apple, or an extra of something healthy for breakfast or have a snack before
yur usual cravings start everyday.

hope these help!!
Really do! It took me 19 hours altogether
to put this together.
I went through all my magazines
and look through the internet, for good sites
ask families and friends, and thought what i did
to put this together.
And read newspaper.
Also i'm a very slow typer.
FYI i give this to anyone trying to lose weight or build muscles and i finshed this a few days ago.
Tons of lunges and squats. Leg lefts. Any exercise that target the legs.
run, walk, squats, stretches, yoga, leg lifts
You need to do running, walking and other toning exercises but it is hard to target just one area of the body, it's all about total fat loss not just spot checkin! Alternating cardio and strength training is a very healthy way to start an exercise program! Also try restitance training and always take the stairs! good luck!

There are several things you can do:
1. Make sure you eat a healthy balanced diet. 7 servings of fruits and vegies, 2-3 of meat and 2 of carbs.
The american diet makes it hard to lose weight. watch fatty and fried foods.
2. Excercise with low weight endurance training - swim, bike, run. Dont do squats and leg presses, you want slim legs, not huge bulky muscles.
3. Dress appropriate. Wear thinning jeans, knee length skirts and so on.
4. Health is something to strive for - it does not come in a quick fix pill. Dont binge or go on a starve diet. Dont take diet pills or the newest diet fab. A good balanced well rounded diet and mild excercise 3-4 times a week is "not-so-secret secret"
Lose weight is the best thing.Or work out at the gym.
The best and "simple" way to help your legs is to walk. Walk for 1 or 2 hrs rapidly. Another great fun way (i think) is to cycle. I hate exercising and find walking the best form of weight lost. After my last pregnancy I went from a size 12 to a size 10 through lots of walking and of course healthy diet. Alternatively, going to the gym, they have equipment which specifically targets the areas you want to tone and trim. You could do an aerobics class and learn some exercises that you could do at home.
