How to lose weight?

I am 19 years old, 5 feet 8 inches and I weigh 140. When I went to college last year I weighed no more than 130 and it was great and I felt great. Now that I am home for the summer I have put on 10 pounds and I don’t feel as great as I use to. So for the last 3 and a half weeks I have been working out for 60 minutes 4 to 5 times a day. I started eating better, watching calories and trying not to snack as much. But it just seems like I can’t do anything to lose this 10 pounds. So I was wondering what could I do to lose 10 pounds in a month before I go back to college. Should I execrise more, eat better, take diet pills, please help?

I asked myself the same question a year ago… I turned twenty this past april. I am 5’6 and weight 140. Last year I was 5’6 amd 130 … i read up on weight changes that women go through and I am sorry to say that our bodies are going to be changing for the next 2-4 years… Next year you may drop down 15 lb’s for no reason… It all has to do with your hormones and the changes your body is going through right now…

If you’re putting on weight because you’re back home and snacking more, there’s a good chance you’ll lose the weight when you go back to college anyway.

You work out for 60 minutes four to five times a day? Or did you mean four to five times a week? 60 minutes four to five times day would mean you were working about four to five hours a day. That would probably be excessive. One hour four to five times a week would be fine.

Watch your saturated fat and cholesterol intake. Drink plenty of water. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Eat about six smallish meals a day to keep your metabolism going fast so that your body can burn calories quickly.
