get a resistant band with the ball/ropy thing(sorry- don't know the tec. term!) so that you can do weight lifting with something you can stick in between doors to use. they're really great- exspecially if you get a booklet or something to show you all the diff. moves you can do with it...

K i just found out a really good exercise that is REALLY easy and u can do it in ur house,in ur pj's, w/out shoes, watever! K wat u do is set a timer for 20 min- 30 min. and get on a pretty tall set of stairs run up and down the stairs 5 times ( going up once the down once equals one time) then take 10 second breather do this till the timer goes off then walk up and down the stairs 5 times to cool down.

Yes, weighlifting helps a lot! One pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day, and one pound of fat burns 2-5 calories a day. Also, weightlifting increases your metabolism for a while when you lift the weights, as does aerobics and such, but it also keeps it higher for longer than aerobics. But you should do both weightlifting and aerobics to get the full benefit. Because if you don't lose the layer of fat that's on top of your muscles, then you won't see your muscles very well. Good job on losing weight, and keep drinking plenty of water! lol God bless you! P.S. My e-mail is: arwen_elf_16@yahoo.com if you want to e-mail me (this goes for anybody)

Clare is right. You can't drop that many calories, it isn't safe!!! Please don't go on that diet for ur sake. But do run the mile, that is a good plan, but i would gradually build up to it. If you go right into the mile ur first time u could hurt ur self, b/c ur body isn't used to it. I wouls start walking for 20 min. for a couple days, then walk faster (almost a jog) for a copuple days, then jog, for a few days, then do all of that before you run, as ur warm up, when you do get to the point when you can run. Also another good thing to do is split the time u r on the tredmill. do like 15 min in the morning, and like 15/ 20 min at nite, that will also help you lose weight faster. And one more thing (I know this is a lot) vary ur exersie. Do stuff on the tredmill every other day. And every day that u r not on the tredmill, work ur upper body. (Do not do any exercises with ur legs casue they got a work out on the tredmill and they need to rest.) But do like sit-ups and stuff like that, and maintain a healthy diet, and u will be well on ur way to weight loss!!!

today i did really well(so far at least) i woke up early and did a work out belly dance tape, only ate when i was hungry and so far have eated 700 cals(i plan on a 500 healthy cal. supper) and i walked home, turning down the bus and two of my other friends that offered to drive me. i think being in school really helps me concentrate on things other then food and i'm starting to see a real difference in my body so that's inspirational- i just hope i can keep this up till my goal weight! good luck guys!

exercise does help even if it isn't for an hour, excpesially if you do small amounts through out the day becasue when you exercise for like 10 min your motabilism rises and continues at rate a while after you stop exercising

try reverse crunches: lift your legs instead of your shoulders, or do bicycle crunches.

try to eat healthier. Go to http://www.nal.usda.gov:8001/py/pmap.htm and try to follow the pyramid, eating healthy foods. Start doing more activities, like walking the dog, or dancing to the radio for half a hour. Jump rope and trampoling also does wonders.
