Exercising/ weight loss help?

Question

Okay, Im currently on a diet and I used to go to the gym, but i havent signed up since Im stashing as much money as I can for a new car! ((license in 2 months, YAY!)) Anyway, im pudgey and its my junior year so im trying REALLY hard to lose weight in time for junior prom!! ((its like 8-9 months away)) but I really need to do it because I want to be the best possible date for a boy I like ((dont say that he wont care, but I do! I feel manly in dresses :( ))

Ive been on a healthy diet, and now I need a way to excercise. I live by a lake and I want to try and swim to tone my legs, what are ways I can do that?

Also, i tend to build muscle instead of tone so im trying not to do anything too muscular like running((my thighs are beastly LOL!)) maybe walking or something?

I need help!! im 5'6 and about 195!! how much weight do you think I can lose in time for jr. prom if i do this everyday?

Answer 1

for a workable diet  

here is what my dietician suggests .  follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent  veg, 25 per cent  carb.remember potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category,    25 per cent  protein.this will prevent cravings too.have a protein shake if you like too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ideally berries,  or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is  permanent loss.  pick an exercise regime you like.  

get a pedometer and  try to take 10,000 steps everyday.  

Answer 2

I used to do diet when i was in undergraduate level, i lost about 7 Kg. within 10 days and i didn't work out at all, I just quit from all chocolates and snacks.

Oh and also i have only 1 proper meal a day, exclude cereal (which you can have anytime (plain one).

I think, It's better if you do exercise while diet, because your body will get fit, but i dont think that it will help if you do only exercise without diet coz i currently go gym without diet, and my weight still remain the same  

Answer 3

Eat less especially junk food such as burgers and pizzas, cut out sugary foods and no added sugar on food. Drink an extra 2 glasses of water every day and walk every where at a fast pace. Stay around 2000 calories and you will lose weight. You should aim at 2/3 pounds per week.
