I'm 5'4 and 180lbs, I exercise every now and then but am not as active as I used to be. How can I lose 10 inches off my waist in around 10 weeks...is that possible? I would like my waist to be at 30in and hips at 33or 35in.
It's great that you want to improve your body. People usually call this process "a diet", but I call it "the change in lifestyle". A diet is an ugly word, and it evokes not so pleasant feelings, while a change in lifestyle brings you hope and determination to go through the entire process.
So, the first thing you need to do is to create a nutrition plan. Get rid of junk food, soda, and alcohol. Drink a lot of water (at least 8 ounces per day). Fill your fridge with fruits and vegetables. Try to avoid carbs and fat, and start consuming low-carb products, like a piece of whole-grain bread.
Besides your nutrition, you should start exercising. If you want to build muscles, go to the gym. But while you want to lose your waist fat, I would recommend you to start running at least three times a week. It might be boring at the start, but if you persist, you will become addicted to it soon.
Running is a great activity, especially if you're practicing it in nature. It's cheap, and everything you need is a strong will. Of course, if you want to get the most out of it, you should wear the right running gear. It's easier and more efficient if you run wearing the right gear. If you need any assistance in finding it, take a look here:
One other thing might help you out: find a partner for your workout. It's easier and more fun if you start exercising with someone who is in a similar position as you. It has a great motivational impact because you won't be able to motivate yourself every time when you need to work out. And once you lose 10 inches in your waist, you will be proud even more because you will share the feeling of accomplishment.

Yes I must agree with you determinedmom, walking is the best, easiest way to lose the inches.
I work out at least 5 days per wk. 20-25 min cardio, circuit weight train each day on different muscle groups, at first I went on a prejudice diet!
That's an all brown diet! lol
Brown rice, brown bread, brown/black beans, chicken with vegetables raw and cooked any way, lots of water.
I've learned to snack more low calorie style, Popsicles under 40 calories, yogurt ice cream.
Don't cut everything out cause you will revert back to your old eating habits.
From going all the clean eating strategies the best is low calorie.
Find out how many calories you should be eating for your age, weight, and height.
Everyone is different so you have to try stuff and see what works for your lifestyle and body type. Working out with partners, neighbor, kids, co-workers helps a lot too.
Uhhh 800 calories per day is VERY unhealthy! You can only do it for so long and they you crash and possible make yourself ill from not having the proper nutrients.
Good luck to you all, on day at a time
I lost 5 1/2 inches off my abdomen using just one Ultimate Body Slimming Applicator. It is an affordable at home, site specific body wrap that only take 45 minutes to achieve inch loss from any area that you choose, such as your abdomen, back, thighs, love handle, arms and neck. After using the 45 minute body wrap, you continue to lose inches over the next 72 hours and your inch loss will last 2 to 6 months if you maintain your body weight. This is not a water loss body wrap and works by detoxifying and your fat cell. You have the same number of fat cells in your body throughout your life. What changes is the size of those fat cells depending on the accumulate of the fat inside each cell. The natural, herbal based formula penetrates the fat cell wall and releases the accumulated subcutaneous fat inside the cell through osmosis action. That fat is liquefied by the herb and is circulated to the lymphatic system and is excreted from the body through your natural elimination process.

first of all, losing weight is the hardest thing especially when you don't want to starve yourself or don't like to eat healthy. I am struggling with losing weight myself, and I'll have to say losing weight is not just something you would do only for 2 months, it's a life time commitments. first off,do not count calories, but watch for the portions. eat small meals and only three times a day, don't snack if you don't have to. also exercise is the main thing here, run as much as the can but don't overdue it. Don't run three hours everyday.you can run two to three hours, but tomorrow let your body relax. it's best to run one hr and then do one hr of yoga or pilates five times a week. if you do this and eat as little as you possibly can, you will see your results. people may say why you eat so little, so what, if that's what it takes to lose couple of pounds and feel better then go for it.I did it and I felt great as long as you are not starving yourself.one last note: after you get to the weight you like, treat yourself to a fast food you like.
You know everything comes with determination. You don't need to sit here and come up with this drastic diet and stop enjoying everything to lose weight. It's all about your proportions. Yes, you should do some type of excersising everyday and challenge yourself. Today I'm going to run for 20 minutes tomorrow I'm going to shoot for 25 minutes. But again you don't need to stop eating or go down to 800 freaking caleries a day. That's crazy! And for the children that are on here. Firstly, you need to enjoy being kid. Second, at your age it's incredibly dangerous. My advice is to lay off of some of the junk junk foods. Not stop eating it, but instead of just grabbing the whole bag of chips go get a cup and get a hand full. It's all about proportions and also it has a lot to do with just eating because your bored or for entertainment. Don't give up go gradual and work your way up, but certainly don't make your life miserable and don't give it all up.
well this is how I've done it start with breakfast- 2 boiled eggs get rid of the yolk if bread is a must 1 slice of wheat bread toasted and limit yourself 2 three sausage links I use brown and serve turkey links no coffee tea tea tea always better. lunch- salad if at work or bring your lunch and you can snack but in a healthy way carrots, cucumbers,celery anything healthy not all fruits are good 4 us they carry sugar so be careful dinner-boiled or baked is always better watch your rice intake brown rice is best everything is about portion I noticed our taste buds make us crave for more food but if you pay attention our belly doesn't no soda absolutely none choose drinks with less sugar vitamin water is good don't starve yourself do eat but healthy and last but not least actually the most important EXERCISE***VERY IMPORTANT IT MUST BE DONE EVERYDAY THAT'S WHAT KEEPS US TONED AND HEALTHY FOR THE HEART GOOD LUCK
For anyone under 18 on this site that is attempting weight loss because someone else does not like your appearance or to attract more guys are girls, the quickest way to gain the attention you want and crave is to start with your attitude. YOU GOTTA LOVE YOURSELF FIRST!!! ALWAYS! Once you display that confidence and love for yourself, you will attract people like a magnet! Try it 1 day and you will see. If you are here trying to lose weight, ecspecially the 12 year old you are a good size for your height. Simply increase your outside activites and you will see your body more toned. To thy onself be true!!! Always remember, no one will ever like you, if you don't like yourself first.
Much love, Shay!
First and foremost, you need to cut on sugars ad starches. This should make your huger levels go down and you will end up eating less calories than before.
You need to increase the intake of proteins, fats and vegetables, By doing this you will automatically bring your carb intake down to 20-50 grams a day which is the recommended intake.
Lastly,, start exercising. This is pivotal for your goals. It will help you manage your appetite and your body weight in a healthy way, without starving yourself. I suggest running since it is a good cardio exercise which engages almost all of your muscles. Of course, you will need appropriate gear. I suggest you check this link:

You can loose best by cutting out junk food, sodas, caffine, cut back on breads and pastas. Also drink at least 64 oz. water daily. Eat six times a day 3 meals and 3 snacks to keep metabolism up. Space eating times at least 2 hours apart, and try to finish eating for the day before 6:00 PM. Walking is the best exercise!!! I have followed this plan for two weeks now and have lost 4 inches all over my body with 5 inches off my waist! I walk one mile each evening, and carry hand weights 3 times a week when I walk. Walk briskly, but you should be able to still carry on a conversation while walking.
HI I am 15 and I am normal but I want to lose a couple of pounds or something like that. I don't care if I get ill but I really want to lose fat around my legs. I am going to try the 3 day diet from cartercountrymarket.com I hope it works. BTW to stay fit and healthy and lose weight try: drinking lemon with a tea spoon of honey mixed in luke warm water first thing in the morning. I have been trying that for a month and it tones everything. Or if you prefer try green tea in the morning that works too. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE INCLUDING ME!

It took about 2 months to get me here...but I am So proud of myself :) you can try that if you like. It's not a fast paced or difficult exercise and its easy to catch onto.

My goal was to loose 2 lbs per week until I reached 150 lbs. It work. Also eat boiled eggs, fruits, salad w/fat-free dressing, and celery & carrot sticks when hungry for snacks.

I’ve been getting lots of emails asking me what exercises to do with the waist trainers, and even though some recommendations have been to go out for a run or just to wear it consistently, some of you are not satisfied with just the basics and want a list of more detailed sets of workouts to work on your abs with your Waist Cincher. I’ve come up with 5 workouts that will boost up your results and the best part is that you can do these exercises at home or at the gym, so let’s get started.
three words. special. k. diet. it really works! especially if you're strict with it. but just living off cereal for a while won't do the trick. you must exercise too!!! its completely necessary. not that you have to do a fast paced intense workout routine. cardio is the best thing you can possibly do. even if your heart rate is up just a little. get that blood pumping. I lost about 5 inches in one month. just gotta be patient.
(1)try sucking in your belly button area of your belly (2) try eating fruits and veggies (3) less soda is a great idea , water is the way to go. (4) no beef. grilled chicken is the best (5) good posture. sit back on seats and shoulders back. no slouching!!
these will fer sure help with in a month or less. I am also 14 and I googled it haha
right all these under 18 year olds need to get off this! why on earth would you want to be 5 stone you will look horrific! the person who is 12 years old you need to get off this site , how on earth did these children get like this? Go and be a child eat what you like, run around and enjoy yourself before your metabolism slows down!
Is there a way that I can lose 5-6+ inches in a month? I am not trying to go on a diet! If there is a way to lose weight as well, that would be great. Please let me know ASAP. I am a 5'4" male who has a 37 3/4" waist.
