hi, its important to excercise everyday and bot be lazy about it.At first its hard but then you get used to it and then you feel weird if you miss a day! And you shouldnt really go on a diet, you should juss cut down on what you eat Its called portion control. Eat only 3 times a day and for starters eat half of what you eat now. Did you know that if you just stopped drinking soda you'd lose 30 pounds in a year!! Drink lots of water and only eat 3 times a day! And eat lots of fruits and vegitables, you'll notice results in less then a month, good luck! im in a hurry right now but if you need more tips email me at DezirablCreation@aol.com Take care byee
