Answers:
I have a great suggestion for you,
go to www!.mypyramid!.gov

at this website, you can put in how much you eat, your current weight, your goal weight, how much exercise you did, and how many calories you should consume, how many you burned, etc!.!.!.

Its great!. I use it every day and its very helpful!. I suggest start with waking up like a half an hour earlier and go for a walk or jog just to start the day out better!. If you have pets, take them for a walk, they will love you even more!!! :)
I live on the North Shore of Oahu with the best beaches, so i take my dog on the beach every morning for a long beach jog and when she and i get back we both feel better!. So, exercise in the morning!. Also, during the day, get involved in some kind of organized sport!. Such as tennis, a soccer team, a volleyball team, etc!.!.!. Or sign up for junior life guarding!. Go to the pool, ride your bike, just get out and get in cardio!. For muscle toning, get 5 pounds weights, and work with them!. You dont want to get bulky, but toned!.

Also, crank up the music in the house and just dance full out!. Try to find a dance studio that you could take hip hop classes from!. You can burn like 600-700 calories in one hour at a hip hop class!. I take jazz, and its a work out!. At home too, do crunches, pushups, etc!.!.!. All that jazz!.

Eating healthy is something like this, you can always improvise!.!.!.
Breakfast:
1 whole grain bagel, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter!. Fruit salad, and 1 cup of skim yogurt!. (This may sound like a lot, but its better to start ur metabolism with a big breakfast rather than binging later in the day)

Lunch: Salad!. 2-3 cups of mixed greens!. 1 grilled chicken breast!. A handful of cashews, avocado (half of a big one, you can have a whole one if its small)!. 1 cup of other chopped veges such as tomato, cucumber, peppers, etc!.!.!. Have a glass of skim milk, and top ur salad with salsa!. Also, have a banana or an apple, or some kind of fruit!.

Snack: 1 fat free greek yogurt, some berries, and a kashi granola bar!.

Dinner: Grilled salmon, quinoa sauteed in olive oil and garlic, and steamed vegetables!. A skim yogurt or glass of skim milk!.

Dessert (optional) have a skinny cow brand ice cream!.

good luck!. Please let me know what works for you so I can possibly follow in your steps!.

Also, be sure to exercise!. Try to go for intense exercise for like 45 minutes to an hour 5 weeks a day!. Also, just work exercise into your day!. Park farther away, walk, ride your bike, go to the beach, play volleyball, walk someones dog!. Just get outside!. Good Luck!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Here are a few tips;

WHEN to eat for losing weight!.!.!.

? Eat (at least) three times a day!.
Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That's the main reason!. Sounds funny, but to lose weight!.!.!. you must eat (the right things, of course)
? Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas!.
? Your last meal should be before 18:00!. Try!.
OK, one apple after 18:00
? Don't starve
Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health!.
Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet!.
? Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast--eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer!.

WHAT to drink for losing weight!.!.!.

? Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day !
Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling!. I just love mineral sparkling water!
This improves your bowel, reduces the "hunger" sensation, and hydrates your skin!. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks!
Don't believe the slogan "water makes me fat"!. Beside being stupid!.!.!. you might get into serious troubles with your kidneys!.
? Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squized!
Don't drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, Spite etc!. during the diet!. Even lite or light versions!.
I thought this was not possible for me to achieve!. Now!.!.!. I don't even LIKE them anymore!
Nothing compares to the the smell of a fresh natural fruit juice! Not speaking about health!.!.!.
? Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home!.

exercise for losing weight!.!.!.

? If you want quicker results - exercise would be good!.
But remember, you're not going to attend the Olympic Games! If you exercise a lot - you'll get very hungry!.!.!. and you'll be tempted to eat more!. Don't exagerate!
Walking is fine (but not very slow!.!.!.) for your body, and your spirit!. Half an hour, or one hour /day - it's up to you!.
Get fit while you sit new workout program that's the laziest way to get in shape - works almost any place, anytime, anywhere
