Answer 1

you could just watch what you eat and try to exercise at least 20 minutes a day. since there are a lot of hills where you live, you could go on walks everday. good luck!

Answer 2

Running is the best thing for u when u wanna lose wait.  However u have to jog 3-5 miles like 5 days a week six if possible.  

Answer 3

run up and down the hills

Answer 4

i would recomend that you get some light 2.5 pound weights and find some exercises online to do. but before you do them you need to get your heart in a fat burning heart rate which is about 200 beats per min after about 15 min of that do about 15 min of strength train with weights cause when you gain muscle even a little bit it will burn fat even when you are not working out. so start by walking fast for 15 min and when that is easy start jogging and as soon as you jog for 15 start strength train right away before your heart slows down also stay away from sugar caffine and simple carbs drink lots of cold water cause your body burns 60 cals every glass and make sure you are eating healthy and at least 5 small meals a day you will see results in 2 weeks

Answer 5

Count calories and go for a run everyday. Go to this website:   http://www.sheerbalance.com/nutrition_ca...

Calculate how many calories you burn everyday just from living and subtract 500 from that number.  Then you will know how many calories to eat everyday, on top of that exercise and you will slim down in no time at all, it's pretty easy, actually, you just have to stick with it.

Answer 6

If you live in the country then I guess it would be nice there to go out walking?

Just do pleanty of walking and you could even order an excercise DVD off the internet which you can do indoors.

As for A diet the best thing to do is just cut down on sweets, crisps - basically anything high fat or full of sugar. Switch full calorie soft drinks to the diet varieties and drink pleanty of water.

Your BMI is actually 24.2 which is healthy so you don't NEED to loose that much weight, although 120lb would also be healthy for you so its a good weight to aim for. Just try cutting down on fattening food and taking up a little bit of excercise - you will soon see the difference.

Answer 7

go  wheat  free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7

p.m.  People  achieve  marvellous  results  with it. Depending on your

initial  weight,  you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If you don't eat  wheat  then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey cakes, you don't  eat  junk  food,  and  you don't eat biscuits. But your diet is

still  balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to calculate points or to buy special meals or plans.

Answer 8

You need to eat the right foods and do a workout that tones and loses fat consistently.

Do not obsess, you need to be happy, in order to accomplish goals.  

Answer 9

In fact, understanding and applying this one principle will always result in greater energy expenditure and consequently, faster body fat loss.

Do you recall from your grade school days the classic riddle, "Which weighs more, a pound of steel or a pound of feathers?"

If you drop a pound of steel from a nearby cliff, I assure you it will plummet to the ground with more force and more speed than a pound of feathers. But that wasn't the question.

The question was which weighs more, a pound of this or a pound of that? The answer being of course, that a pound is a pound-- so a pound of anything weighs the same.

Here's another question. Which burns more Calories?

--Running 1 mile

--Jogging 1 mile

--Walking 1 mile

I could list for you a half dozen cardiovascular fitness benefits to demonstrate just how 30 minutes a day can improve your health and stave off many chronic diseases.

In fact, I have.

But let's face it. Most people don't perform aerobic exercise to better their health or reduce their risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Most people want to lose weight.

Indeed, one of the best forms of exercise to burn Calories is cardiovascular exercise. And burning excess Calories is what will help you reduce your body fat. However, not all aerobic exercise is created equal.

Recently, a popular fitness magazine posed a very interesting and important question: Which burns more Calories? Running 1 mile, jogging 1 mile, or walking 1 mile?

The proposed answer was that it was a trick question because all three activities cover the same distance so they burn identical amounts of Calories.

This is false. It illustrates how much misinformation is out there today.

I can sympathize with the author because the notion is almost reasonable. It follows the logic of the classic riddle, "Which weighs more, a pound of steel or a pound of feathers?"

However, when it comes to cardiovascular exercise, it's not as simple as 'a mile is a mile'.

This is important to understand because many people believe that if they just walk the same distance, they'll burn the same amount of Calories as when jogging or running. Then they become disappointed when the scale fails to meet their expectations.

For starters, the amount of energy you burn is partly dependent on body weight. The more you weigh, the more Calories you burn per minute. For example, a 110 lb person walking at 2 MPH will burn about 2.6 Calories per minute, whereas a 190 lb person walking at the same speed will burn about 4.5 Calories per minute.

But to keep things constant, let's compare walking, jogging, and running for people of the same weight. Consider the following principle...

Energy expenditure in humans is measured using an approach called 'calorimetry'. Essentially, all physiological reactions in the body that release energy is dependent on oxygen utilization. By measuring oxygen consumption (VO2), you can get a fairly accurate estimate of energy expenditure.

When you go from rest to exercise, your heart beats faster to deliver more oxygen to meet the energy demands of your activity. The more fit you are, the more efficient your body becomes at transporting and utilizing oxygen.

Researchers have measured the 'caloric stress' of many physical activities. Although different sources vary slightly, on average, a 150 lb person will burn:

--4.2 Calories per minute walking at 3 MPH

--10 Calories per minute speed walking at 5 MPH

--15 Calories per minute jogging at 6 MPH

--16.1 Calories per minute running at 8 MPH

Hence, if a 150 lb person walks at 3 MPH, it will take 20 minutes to complete a 1 mile distance. At 4.2 Calories per minute, this person will burn a total of 84 Calories:

--4.2 kcal/min x 20 min = 84 kcal

On the other hand, running the mile at 8 MPH will take about 7 and a half minutes to complete. At roughly 16.1 Calories per minute, this person will burn a total of 120.8 Calories:

--16.1 kcal/min x 7.5 min = 120.8 kcal

Not only will it take 7 and a half minutes instead of 20 to complete the same 1 mile distance, but in this example, running will burn almost one and a half times more Calories than walking.

The take home lesson here is that if you're interested in cardiovascular exercise to burn excess Calories for body fat reduction, then remember that any activity requiring greater force production performed at higher intensities will always result in greater energy expenditure.

Answer 10

First of all change your mindset from "Im fat!" to "Im skinny!"  Now start living your mindset.  When youre eating, always leave 15% of your meal on the plate.  NEVER finish it.
