Lose pounds and inches

How do I lose 30 pounds by March?

I have a ballet recital in March, I'm 5'4, 13 and I weigh 170 lbs. I'm really uncomfortable in my costume because you can see my arms and stuff. Is there a way to lose at least 30 pounds by March so I at least don't look TOO bad?

1. depends on how stricty u diet and exercise but avg weight loss is 1-3 pounds a week and do u need it by end or begening of march so if u lose from now till beg of march 3 pounds a week ull lose 21 pounds and if by end it can be 30
2. to get started no soda drink a gallon of water a day spring or distill no tap water!! or crystal light for your meals. Breakfast eat 3 egg whites or oatmeal and a fruit. Lunch eat a grilled chicken breast vegetables with light oil 1 teaspoon and a fruit. Dinner eat a tuna or chicken salad / grilled or broil chicken breast with Mrs. Dash on it and a small cut of vegetables and a fruit. no eating after 7pm !! do 250 sit-ups in the morning and 250 sit-ups before bed. Do leg squats against the wall 3 sets of 20 once every other day. Walk for 30 minutes twice a day or jog in the house for 30 minutes if the weather is bad out. Ride a treadmill for 20-30 minutes a day and that should do it. Make sure you do this through out the day not all at once. Try this for 8 weeks and see the difference only if you really want to loose weight.

3. exercise, exercise, exercise.
4. while it is very unhealty to do so, you have to virtually stop eating keeping your blood sugar levels relatively constant, letting your body feat off the body fat. drink a ton of water until 3 days before. What little food you eat should be fiberous. again, i strongly recommend trying to lose more than 2 pounds of body fat per week, but that is how it would be done, barring lipo. I believe this answers your question, but if not you may email me. Good luck! Trainer Gregg gregg@leandownsite.com
5. If you are serious about wanting to lose weight and get yourself healthy you can take a look at my profile, I use Herbalife products. I can tell you that I really love them and they work well and quick! I use the Shapeworks program, and, I love that it's designed so that I don't feel hungry; who’s going to stick to something if they want to eat all the time ya know! In part, it's not so much about weight sometimes as it is shape. Try to gain lean body mass. That is important for body shape. I really enjoy the Shapeworks program. It's simple, easy, delicious and nutrition and gives me –overall- good health-! It works with all kind of weight issues -lose/gain/maintain- as well as to reshape your body with the main benefit of getting you healthy and good overall health and nutrition! Also, it’s purpose is to help you gain good lean body mass. When you use Shapeworks it gives you a plan of calories and protein for your diet. It gives you a specific plan for your body's personal needs. You don't have to count them but it makes you aware of them! It's really very simple. Whatever you choose make sure it's right for you, and good to your body! I can also tell you that it's given me a lot of good solid energy, NO JITTERS- I hate that! I feel so great! As I said I do take them personally, I'm not trying to solicit anyone, just sharing my experience! Shapeworks is like the ultimate convenience in weight loss. Simple & Easy with a lot of really good overall health properties & benefits!! Here are some FYI TIPS, you may find useful! ***WATER: WATER is VERY important! You should drink an extra 8oz, for every 20-25 pounds you want to lose on top of the regular amount of 8 glasses you should drink daily. If you are exercising you'll need to increase this! H3O is really good for hydration-yes, H3O, you can find it through my profile. ***To lose weight more efficiently and effectively, stop eating 2-3 hours before bedtime. This allows your body to become a fat burning machine throughout the night, instead of trying to process what you've just eaten. That feeling in your belly (of hunger), is the body going into to fat burning mode, you want that! That is the key to the ignition so to speak! ***COOL DOWN: Cooling down, having a cool down session after working out prevents blood pulling to occur, which cause you to be more sore. Walking around or stretching ~10-15 minutes should be sufficient! :-D ***FOR EXERCISES: Try 20-45mins (whatever you can do) of some cardio of your choice. Maybe running/jogging, dancing, bike, etc. (yes dancing can be great cardio- just throw on some favorite music and let it rip! Its fun and you control it! :-D) Best time to exercises is the morning, first thing! When you do this you jumpstart your metabolism for the day. Just GET/BE/STAY ACTIVE this is really good and important for a healthy body! ***Make sure you have enough and proper protein in your diet! This is important! ***Look for inch loss, which is a wonderful thing. Sometimes you lose in inches and not actual weight. Take your measurements and pay attention to how your clothes fit you! That is a really good indicator that something’s happening! ***Strength training is also good! But, be careful and don't over do it. Too much can make you gain weight in bulk muscle; muscle weighs more that fat! ***Take a look at http://www.caloriesperhour.com Go to the Activity Calculator, and you can find out according to your specific age, gender, height and weight, how many calories you burn doing all kinds of activities! It's cool & simple, I like the site! :-D ***If you have a bad day or an off day, it’s better to eat the bad foods as early in the day as possible, that way you have a lot longer time to burn it of than just a few hours at night before bed!! Also, eat you bigger meals earlier, in this same regard of burning it off! -It’s good to have and try a variety of foods you like and enjoy. You want to keep it interesting for yourself so that you can stay the course instead of fall off due to boredom Food is a vast world, it’s great and it can be an adventure. Be creative with it! You can find that ‘healthy’ can be it’s own tempting delicious place!! - Do your best to eat healthy, healthy foods or just healthier. If you have not got to that point yet, look at the Garden 7, it gives you the benefits of 7 fruits and vegetables. It's really good for everyone but especially for like fast fooders who aren't getting good proper nutrition! (((P.S. I think you should be able to eat and eat good foods, but remember, MODERATION is key, don't do it all the time! Often/occasionally is better than always/daily! -Don't fool yourself though with the one day won't hurt because next thing you know one day will be two and can lead to daily!))) Hope this helps! Good Luck to you! I wish you all the best!
6. LOTS of cardio, mainly running. You'll need to be consistent and run about 1-3 miles a day. Take 2 days off from running, but do a light cardio instead. Whenever you are watching tv lift 8 pound weights to help with your arms and do sit ups. Drink your weight in ounces of water. Eat raspberries (or another berry), plain toast and yogurt for breakfast. Eat rice with steamed veggies for lunch and grilled chicken with lemon and more rice and veggies for dinner. Have a pudding cup for dessert. Dont steer from this diet. Drink ONLY water, yep, ONLY water. Well, have a glass of milk but NO juices and definitely no alcohol or soda. To treat yourself have a glass of wine halfway through- you're tolerance will be low so you'll feel a buzz that you deserve at the halfway point.
