Okie doke. Enough questions, don t you think?Question 1: Eating healthy. Eat healthy, eat healthy, eat healthy. Thinking of any of those special diets, like pills or pre-made meals? Just realize that once you re off those diets, your body still thinks that it can eat whatever it wants. You tend to gain the weight back, which leads to what s called yo-yo dieting .Question 2: Junk food. Chips, candy, sodas (even diet sodas; the aspartame in them can cause cancer), cookies, cakes. Just use common sense. You can eat one of these types of things around three times a week, about every other day. Just stay away from desserts that are over 300 calories.Question 3: Eat more fruits and veggies. And not just while dieting, always. You know, just plain common sense.Question 4: It is reccomended that you have six small meals a day. And when I say small, I mean--no, STRESS--small. Drink plenty of water in between and during meals.Question 5: You can do a combination of different machines in a workout. Try stretching for a few minutes, jogging in place for five, then go on the elliptical for fifteen minutes at a steady pace. Go on the treadmill for fifteen minutes, at a steady pace. Still going steady, switch over to the bike for fifteen minutes. Do a cool down stretch, and you re done.Question 6: It should be about 60 minutes for a good hard workout. This should include about 10-15 minutes of a stretches, warm-up and cool down stretches.Question 7: Try doing a cardio workout, like the one above about three or four times a week. You should do a strength routine (below) about two or three times a week.Question 8: Recent studies have shown that if you get your workouts out of the way in the early morning, right before or right after breakfast, you won t make excuses not to.Question 9: A whole strength routine, with emphasis on slimming thighs and butt: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art1��Question 10: You can do a lot of excercises to flatten your stomach, so no need to stress about it. You can try a bellydancing DVD every once in a while, and try to do about 10-15 minutes of ab work every time you do a strength routine (http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art6��Question 11: Don t make this healthy lifestyle a temporary change. Make it permanent.

All the answers to your questions can be found in my blog. Except I am not a vegetarian. Change all meat found there to vege proteins like nuts and seeds, low fat cheese, low fat milk and eggs.Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body and tummy fats.It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.Details such as my experience, meals, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog.Xiaozhen

Get on the treadmill or go to YMCA look at directions Most show where to lose weight. P.S. I had huge thighs but they dimmed down in about 1 mouth I didn t really work out don t know why but I m happy with it!! Maybe it was going up and down the stairs? (New home!) Hope I helped, also you can go to a friend that has stairs and ask to work out! Possibilities!
