So your saying your going to skip dinner, thats a bad thing and will keep you from losing weight. Instead of doing the Kinect how about you actually go to the gym and workout or buy P90x you can do that at home.

10 lbs should be your average weight loss each month if you stay within these 3 guidelines.


1.eat only steamed lean meats, eggs, healthy fruits ,vegetables, nuts, grains, & yogurt..2. drink only water, juice, & milk..3. walk or do some physical exercise 1-3 hour every day.


(btw, recommend you also to buy an electronic food steamer ((Very cheap)) and a rice cooker as makes it very easy to prepare healthy meals)

At its most basic weight loss is all down to your daily calorie intake. If you eat less calories then your body needs you will lose weight. In this regard exercise just means you can eat more food then you could without exercise. If you’ve no interest in exercise you just need to track your calories, and aim for between 500-1000 calories below your daily maintenance level.

You can track your calories, and calculate your daily calorie requirements on one of the following sites:

http://www.sparkpeople.com/
http://www.calorieking.com.au/
I’d strongly advise you do so to begin with as it’ll give you a greater understanding of how many calories different foods have. It might surprise you how many calories foods that people consider to be healthy and ideal for weight loss actually have. For example, 100g of uncooked pasta, which is about a handful, is around 250-350 calories.

These basic steps should be enough to get you started with your weight loss, but if you want to fine tune your diet a bit there’s more you can do. The main thing you can do is reduce the amount of carbohydrates in your diet. Carbohydrates are found in foods like pasta, bread, starchy vegetables, rice, sugar, and other foods that make up a big part of the modern diet.
The problem with carbohydrates is that when you eat them your body produces insulin, and insulin plays a major role in the production and storage of fat. If you combine fat and carbohydrates in a meal then you are providing the body with everything it needs to store as much fat as possible.

Ideally you should aim for your calories to come from 40% protein, 40% fat, and 20% carbohydrates. The level of fat might seem high, but you need to remember that dietary fat is not the same as the fat in your body. When you eat fat it’s broken down and used immediately to provide energy to the body, and only stored when you are either consuming a lot of carbohydrates, or eating more calories than your body needs. If you are on a diet this won’t be a problem. You can eat whatever you like as long as you stick to this nutrition split.

The following is a list of high carbohydrate foods to avoid:

And here’s high protein food:

Next, exercise. You don’t need to exercise, but it’ll help you get fitter and improve your body shape. I’d recommend regular cardio exercise, such as jogging, or jumping rope, but high intensity stuff like Zumba will do as well, and if you enjoy it that’s even better.
I’d recommend 3 sessions of cardio exercise a week at a minimum, and if you are going to start jogging then I’d recommend the Couch to 5k plan, which is ideal for beginners :

If you want a great body shape you should aim to go to the gym 3 alternate days a week, and remember the key to building muscle is doing a few sets of a low number of reps at the highest weight you can manage. People who pick up tiny weights and lift them 250 times are basically doing very inefficient cardio exercise that doesn't do anything to build muscle.

Toning is just reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass. Anything that suggests you can “tone” by doing some light weight exercise lots of time is really taking a very inefficient route to improving the shape of your body.

With weight lifting it depends whether or not you have access to a gym. If you do I suggest you follow a plan like Starting Strength, the wiki of which is full of very useful information : http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/S…
The actual programme is here : http://www.startingstrength.net/workouts…

If you don't have gym access read Brain over Brawn, a free ebook, which contains lot's of useful information about dieting and weight loss : http://brainoverbrawn.com/get-the-book/
I highly recommend you read it regardless of your plans, as it will educate you on what is required to lose weight.

With a calorie controlled diet you’ll lose weight, with added cardio you’ll get fit, and with weight lifting you’ll look great, but how much you are prepared to do is up to you.

Stick with the basics,
*Hard boiled eggs:no yolk,Egg whites, Lean meats

*Stay away from starchy foods:white rice,sugary drinks,tortillas of any kind,candy

*Eat whole grains opposed to whole wheat.

*Try to eat less processed carb based foods

*Veggies are you friend

* You may want to consider doing low carb for 2 weeks can lose anywhere from 10-14 pounds if done right

It sounds like a great plan, but the problem is not in the plan.

How confident are you that you'll be able to keep to that plan? I mean, to jog a mile after breakfast every day sounds kinda hard (trust me, i've been trying to do that for the past 3 years. I keep missing a few days in a week).

Your plan is great and all, but remember this: if you skipped a day or two of this plan, it's okay, as long as you get right back on. Oh, and if you're planning to do this all the way to August, make sure to increase the intensity of your running and swimming.

Like, say, 1 mile for the first week, then 2 miles by April, and so forth. Like making it harder. Otherwise, you won't see results.

Be sure not to skip meals or get demotivated if you see no change immediately! Skipping meals make your body hold on to fat (yeah, no joke) and all you'll lose is body water and muscle.

ANyway, hope you did lose 20 pounds! Stay strong to the end. It always helps if you have a partner or something, it'll motivate you to go on.

Hope this helps!
