    the ergo baby carrier(google it) gives you the perfect workout. buy it for her as a gift. otherwise its eat right (go vegan 3 days a week) and exercise

    exercise for 1+ hours four times a week. join classes. jogging, cycling to work, swimming, surfing, dancing, aerobics, a martial art, ice-skating, roller-blading, tennis, basketball, go gym, yoga, orienteering, trampolining, horse riding or garden work.

    example healthy menu

    for breakfast have some fruit like watermelon, pear, chopped pineapple, kiwi with wholegrain cereal and low-fat milk or brown toast with topping like beans, egg, peanut butter and banana

    lunch can be a wholemeal sandwich, bagel, roll, wrap with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and either tuna, chopped avocado, hummus, ham or cheese(no butter or mayo) or a pasta and vegetable dish and a tub of fruit (strawberries, figs, peach, grapes, apricots)

    dinner should be 1/4 protein(beans, egg, meat, fish) 1/3 carb (potato, brown rice/pasta) and the rest vegetables/salad. eg. pepper and meatballs in tomato sauce on spaghetti, roast beef dinner

    supper can be carton veg soup or a yogurt and a piece of fruit eg. mango, cherries, orange segments

    drink lots of water- with every meal, carry a bottle and try get 1.5l daily

    snack on herbal tea eg. apple, ginger, chamomile

    treat- innocent smoothie, popcorn, pancakes with stewed apple and Cinnamon(no sugar), oven chips and bean chili

    no fast-food, biscuits, butter, cereal bars, sweets, sugary drinks, crisps, pastries, you know the drill

    A positive attitude is very important for successful weight loss and weight management. To lose weight permanently, you must make a commitment to gradually adopt a healthier way of life.

    You can control your weight. To lose weight, you must eat fewer calories or burn up more calories than you need. The best way to lose weight is to do both.

    Following a very low calorie diet can leave you feeling deprived and can increase the temptation to binge. Often, very low calorie diets make you lose muscle instead of fat. You are then left with a body that jiggles instead of one that is smooth and toned. Exercise helps you keep the muscles and lose the fat.

    Very low calorie diets also lack many important nutrients, putting you at risk of becoming malnourished. Most importantly, research shows that people who follow these diets usually gain all their weight back. People who lose weight slowly by eating less and exercising more tend to keep the weight off.

    Determine your BMI

    There are several ways of measuring your ideal body weight. One of the most popular methods to gauge whether or not you are overweight is the body mass index (BMI). The BMI uses a mathematical formula that measures both a person's height and weight in determining obesity. To calculate your BMI, multiply your weight by 703, and divide the answer by your height in inches. Divide this figure by your height again.

    (Weight in Pounds x 703) / (Height in Inches) = BMI

    For example, a 250-pound person at 5’10" would have a BMI of 35.86. People with BMIs of 25 and above are considered to be overweight. Having a body mass index over 30 places you at risk for developing obesity-related medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. A BMI over 40 indicates that a person is morbidly obese.

    How many calories do I need?

    Everyone's energy needs are different, but there are ways to estimate how many calories you need. One easy method is based on your activity level. Decide whether your activity level is low, moderate or high. Pick one of these definitions:

    Low -- You don't participate in any regular physical activity, or you are involved in recreational activity only on the weekends.

    Moderate -- Your physical fitness program includes aerobic activity for 30 to 60 minutes at least three times a week.

    High -- You exercise vigorously for 60 minutes or more at least four times a week.

    Next, find your activity factor by using the chart on the right. Look for the number where your activity level matches your weight status. Multiply this activity factor by your weight to estimate how many calories are needed to maintain your current weight.

    To lose weight: Subtract 250 calories to lose 1/2 pound per week. Subtract 500 calories to lose 1 pound per week.

    All the medics and food experts say targeted weight loss is unlikely, specifically in the waist and belly zones, but I achieved it with colon cleanse. I know they say that pills do not work, nevertheless they sure worked for me, and they've been featured on CBS News too. There's a free trial going on at the moment at http://tapefr.innerfitness.info/ , why not try it, what is the worst that could happen?
