Losing inches and pounds

Well I am 5´4 and about 150, says so the doctors. What is a good way to tone up abs. I do eat sweets. I try to avoid them, but they keep ending up in my mouth regardless. My abs are flabby but my legs and such are not too flabby since I have to walk...

about a mile to and from college classes. I have tried losing weight before, but it never seems to work. I want to lose weight because I want to surprise my boyfriend even though he thinks I look fine, I want to show him what I used to look like when I was thinner. I may have gained from stress too... I see him October 10th. Any good advice is welcomed. Thank you.

drink water.eat fruit. Eat half a banana for breakfast put it in a plastic bag, Dont eat anything all day and eat the other half for dinner. Or half of any other type of fruit you choose. Exercise a lot. Seeing as though you walk around the campus I wouldnt worry too much about exercise. Stay on the right diet. a lot of people will tell you this isnt healthy but it is not scientifically proven to hurt you. Drink a lot of watter when ever you can. Remember if your thirsty your dehydrated so drink water all day even when your not. This should help you..

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot)

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
