To speed things up keep hydrated, so drink a lot more water and up your cardio work out. That’s what burns calories. Try to burn more calories in a day than you take in, that will really make you lose weight. Shape magazines website has a great tool that tells you how many cals different things for different amount of times burn. Cut down on fats and sugars in your diet and eat alot of veges and fruits.

Those are my tips. Good luck!

you DO look like vanessa hudgens!!

Sometimes making a permanent change to your diet is best – people often loose weight only to regain later.

I would never try not to eat my favorite foods to look better – because I would probably be unsuccessful. lol Unless my doctor told me I was eating my way to diabetes or some other health problem, few things seem worth that trade.

Try a diet that will not only make you thinner but healthier overall – or anything that does more than just makes you look better. I’m still not super health conscious (in any way) but I’m a vegetarian because I think it’s wrong (unless you have health reasons to do so) to eat meat. I’m against animal cruelty, especially factory farms – ewwwwwww.

When I became a vegetarian I lost quite a bit of weight (accidentally) without making any other changes to my diet.

Things like more energy, and the rights of animals are worthy of the trade to me. The vegetarian diet is a diet I hope I never get off of! Find a way to eat that makes you feel that way.

Got a short attention span? – cut down on food additives and dyes.
Do you snack exessively on junk? – Keep things to satisfy your hunger and MAKE YOU SMARTER AND HEALTHIER on hand, like, nuts and berries.
Care about animals? – Go VEG!!!
