Answers:
Running is the best exercise for shedding pounds. Try to run (not jog) for about 20 minutes at least 3 days a week. Drink only water (and coffee if you must). Also, do some strength training. The more muscle you have, the more calories you can burn (that's why guys can get away with eating more). Don't eat ANY junkfood, and don't eat for at least 4 hours before you go to bed.

The most important thing is to set a goal, make a plan to achieve that goal, and stick to it. Good luck.

Other Answers:
You don't need to be that light. If your body won't do it easily, there's a good possibility it's because it would be an unhealthy weight. Be happy the way you are.

117 doesn't sound like a bad wait at all, but height does matter..don't worry about protein bars or anything. Eat healthy food and exercise normal. I have problems not eating snacks.now I love pretzels and they aren't even bad for me! Eat fruit or something healthy when you are hungry.

Good luck!

To me it DOESNT sound like u need to loose weight..

try to eat right, no fatty foods, and try to get some exercise in.

well muscle weighs more than fat. but its also more compact. you could eat the food you like, just a little less. and do more cardio

Okay, you're 117 pounds- that;s okay. You are not overweight and you are healthy because you excersise. DO NOT skip meals, best advice ever. And another thing, try not to eat junky food.

try swimming...protien bars are just money wasters.don't give up food try fat free stuff..don't do fast food..every one should know that after "super size me"

I'd say stop eating beef, and stop drinking sodas. That's what I did and along with some exercise everyday in 2 1/2 months I went from 106 to 92., but I'm now back up to 102 b/c of the school year & partially my job. I work at Maggie Moo's an Icecream shop, but Im getting ready to quit in hopes to lose some weight.

well.. i lost a bit of weight when i stopped eating meat.

your weight sounds fine but if you feel you need to drop a few pounds i reccommend dropping your carb intake to below 20 for two weeks eat lots of protein and fruits and veggies cuz they dont count mainly cut out sugar, white flour, white rice, and potatoes and drink lots of water not soda, juice or other sweetened drinks even those with artificial sweetener its hard but it is the most effective bikini diet ive ever tried

unless you're 4'6, you don't need to lose weight !

WHAT to eat for losing weight

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.

* Print these lists. They will be your . "Bible", from now on !
* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.
* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)
* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.

• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)

* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!
* Avoid fat meat

• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!

• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits

* Don't cheat . NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc!
* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication. They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !

• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta. you know!

* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.
* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!
* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads. with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian).

if u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs

1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.

2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.

3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.

4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.

That is a good place to start. if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you. if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer

Keep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours
the most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want

you might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com

good luck
