The best thing is just turn on some music and dance. You don't have to be good to burn calories lol, and it passes time faster than the gym and you can do it no matter what the weather outside is. Watch music videos and ballet performances to pick up different moves. For food, just eat less. Less is always cheaper lol. Buy veggies and fruit for snacks - a bag of carrots instead of a bag of cheetos, etc, and have fruit for desert instead of sweets. Plain air-popped popcorn is a great filling snack too - an air popper is a great investment for your diet.
weight watchers meals and a jump rope
just eat less
run b4 eating
watch sumo wrestlers
As far as I know, there's no tax on running or jogging. They're both great aerobic exercises, which are the only way to lose fat.
eatcelery and exercise:
-jogs
-free weights
-fitness tv
-community gym membership
Run everyday. That's free. Eatting healthy sometimes can cost a lot more than eatting junk food. But I think your health should be worth the extra cost. But I guess you can try the special K diet. Or something that gives you your money back if it doesn't work.
you can try to cut back on the fast food.. and what i do is i just go running everywhere around my house.. also what you can do is like push ups and sit ups (which are all the way.. dont cheat).. basically what you can do is a daily routine.. like figure out how many push ups you can do, then do that number of them like 6 days a week. you could probably choose your day.. but when you start seeing results dont stop.. youll only gain all that weight back.. i am sorry if i coulnt be much help..
Eat six small meals a day instead of three big ones.
Check the food pyramid for the types of foods and serving sizes.
Drink a lot of water!
Biking, running, and swimming are among the best cardio-workouts, I have heard. But do not disregard weights too. I use free weights, not machines, because I feel like I get a better workout that way.
Stay active as long as you can! Try limiting your sitting time.

See site below with lots of free info on exercise and diet to lose weight. Tells you why you should avoid non fat yogurt and coffee since they are so fattening.
Things which work for me:
- reduce fat intake (less butter, reduced fat foods (often same price as regular verion, such as Miracle Whip) ... but DO NOT go for 'Fat Free' foods (often increased appetitefrom eating them)
- walk for 20 minutes after a meal
- drink water before a meal
- eat veggies when you want to snack - baby carrots, celery, pickles, cauliflower, broccoli
- don't eat after 8:00 PM (drink a glass of water instead)
- avoid 'sweets' - sometimes they stimulate your appetite
Good Luck!
Walk, walk, walk! It is free and you can do it anywhere. Get a cheap pedometer and try to rack up 10,000 steps a day. Drink lots of water - we often mistake hunger for thirst and water will fill you up. Eat cheap, healthy foods cooked with as little fat as possible. Wholegrains, cereals, pulses, fruit and veg. Swimming. Try to find a local gym where you can attend individual classes on a pay as you go basis rather than wasting cash being tied to an annual subscription which you may never use.
Counting calories always works. There are books available that help you tell how many calories are in what you're eating and also what exercises and activities burn how many calories. It's really simple, take in less calories than you burn. If you up your exercise you can eat a little more if you choose not to exercise you must take in less. The guideline is usually based on a 2000 calorie per day diet so start there and if you can do with less then do it, or exercise more. Half a Grapefruit in the morning seems to kick start the fat burning process with of course lots of water.
Well you should calm down on the sweets and junk food.Also pasta.You should not eat so much fat-tining.Like in the morning you can eat a banana.Then for lunch you can eat veggies like carrots,broccoli,corn or you can eat fruits.Like apples,oranges,grapes,bananas,pears fruits like that or any other kinds of fruit.My doctor says I should eat that kind of things too.Also you could do like 20 Jumping jacks.Then 10 push ups.And go to a track and walk it about 5 times.That is what you can do.
I have been living on a very limited budget for several years since I stopped working for pay in order to raise my children. But, I was not rid of my compulsion to be fit just because I was rid of my paycheck. So, I have come to be quite creative about ways to stay in good shape without spending much money at all.
Healthy eating is the first thing. Many people consume many more calories than they know simply because they are not aware of exactly what they are eating. Becoming more educated about your food is the least expensive and most important part of achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight. A quick way to know if a food is good for your weight goal is to count the nutrients (protein, calcium, vitamins, etc) in comparison to calories in the food. Concentrate on increasing your nutrition. In other words, consume as few calories as possible while making sure to get your daily requirements. (You can find a listing of these at the back of any good cook book you may have around the house. Nutritional content of each food is often listed as well.)
Quick rules to abide by:
Eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruit every day. Don't "try" . Just do it. It makes a difference, I promise you.
Avoid fast food, ALWAYS (or almost always). Even "healthy" options at fast food restaurants are typically high calorie compared to a sandwich you make yourself and a piece of fruit.
Don't eat fried food. Frying adds tons of fat to food without adding nutritional value.
Eliminate extra fat from your diet (butter, mayonnaise, fatty salad dressings. This costs nothing.
Watch out for prepared and processed food products. These tend to have a lot of extra fat because fat is a quick and relatively cheap way to make food tasty. Read the labels on all prepared food products you eat and if they are heavy on fat don't eat it. If it contains ANY trans fats, don't eat it.
Get exercise whenever and where ever you can:
This might mean walking to work of school when you can, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, run up the stairs instead of walking, etc. Make some simple exercises like squats, tummy crunches and push ups part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth or showering. Increase the number that you do as you become more fit. Also, this does not take much time. A fairly good workout can be fit into the time it would take you to drive to the gym. And you can split it up to suit your schedule. You will see results in just a couple weeks if you do enough of them. These are ABSOLUTELY free. They don't even require any equipment.
Get more exercise: Cardiovascular exercise five times a week: Go out for a walk. Go for a run (you will find that proper shoes are helpful). Find friends to do these things with you. Strength training for muscle development is vital to weight loss as muscle burns more calories than other body tissues (fat) do. More muscle equals more calories burned even when you are sitting still.
If you want to invest a small amount of money, look in the fitness department of your local Target store, Walmart or similar store. You will find many items for around $20.00. I recommend a balance ball and some weights to do upper body exercises. A jump rope is good too for cardio when you can't go outdoors. None of these are expensive and they all allow you to do your workout when and where and as often you want to.
Finally, consistency is the key to success, but don't be too discouraged if you fall out of your exercise and diet routine every now and then. Many people feel they must make up for missed exercise or starve a little to make amends for some extra cake or fried chicken. However this is counterproductive because you are in effect punishing yourself for trying to make healthy changes. Simply start back in where you left off, congratulate yourself for getting back on track and before you know it you will find yourself accustomed to healthier habits.
