I want to lose 40 pounds by september?

and tips? things i can do? exercise routines?

Part I Exercise Routine.

Do this every day if possible, but more realistcally 3-4 times a week. Get a treadmill, or run outside if it's nice out. Run for 5 minutes at a constant, leisurely pace I suggest something like 5-6 mph. At the 5 minute mark, run as fast as you can for 30 seconds, I do mean as fast as you possibley can so at the end of the 30 seconds you are out of breath.

Go back to the leisurely pace for a minute or until you have enough energy to sprint as fast as you can for 30 seconds again. Don't take too long though, I wouldn't rest for more than 2 minutes tops!

Repeat this pattern until you have sprtined 8 times. The total session should last about 15-20 minutes depending on your resting periods. Once you're comfortable doing this increase your sprint durations to 1 minute.

This is a proven way to burn fat calories. This type of cardio burns 40% fat calories while you're running as opposed to the standard 50% in long distance jogging (steady paces), but uses up the glycogen stored in your muscles. The result is that after doing this type of exercise your metabolism is raised for the next 24 hours! This is science, it's proven. Look it up if you must it's called HIIT, High Intensity Interval Training.

It's just 15-20 minutes of exercise 3-4 times a week and you'll shed the pounds.

Part II Diet.

Always eat breakfast. Eat smaller meals, but have healthy snacks through out the day. Cut all soda from your diet, fast food must go, limit junk food to a minimum. Fruits, Veggies, Whole Grains and lean protein are your best friends. Drink water, lots. Just use your brain on this one and read the nutritional facts of what you're eating. The average adult needs 2000 calories a day. You should be aiming to cut 3000 calories a week at least through diet (3000 calories = 1 pound a week of fat gone). The rest of your weight loss will come from the exercise.

You won't lose 40 pounds by september, but you might be able to lose about 2 pounds a week depending on how your body reacts to it. People that are heavier lose weight faster. So the first month you might lose between 3-4 pounds a week, and then average off at 1 lb. a month after that.

Your target weight loss should be about 15-20 lbs. or so by week 1 of september, at the end of september you should have lost about 20-25lbs. Not quite 40, but still damned good.

Good Luck
