Average weight loss is only 9-15lbs a year, so this is a long term lifestyle issue not a quick fix.Do you see the box near the top of the page?
The one labelled 'Search for questions: '?
Well type in 'lose weight'.
You will find over 518,682 pre-existing questions.
Try the misspellings 'loose weight' and there are another 119,033
In all there are over 637,715 Health section questions requesting solutions to being or thinking you might be overweight.
On average these each yield 6 answers, that is nearly 4 million answers.
(Without searching for any other variations on the question!)

I can usefully summarise these answers in 4 words:

EAT LESS DO MORE. Are you desperate enough to try this???

GP for more years than I care to remember

Eat fruits and vegetables like ALL THE TIME. That's the most important thing. Green tea is crucial too. It kicks your metabolism & it helps lose weight. Water builds stronger bones & hydrates you. It cleanses your body too. Make sure you get at least 6-8 cups of water a day.

To tone your butt & thighs/legs..run on the treadmill or outside. That's the best thing. Situps in the morning and at night work too. I do 50 situps in the morning and 50 at night. Sometimes a couple during the day if i'm bored too. Lifting weights helps with your arms to tone and lose the fat. Count your calories everyday. I use www.myfitnesspal.com for a calorie counter/exercise counter. It's really amazing! I wish you the best of luck & i bet you will be able to lose some weight by summer!

Trying to lose a couple lbs too.

green tea is a diuretic, it just makes you lose water. most of the "quick fixes" are worse for you than that weight is. the only solution is exercise and small, plentiful meals. 3 meals a day= bad. 6 small meals a day = losing weight. just eat balanced
