One very good exercise that you could do to reduce your fat and weight would be sex. Seriously, sex really reduces our weight quickly.

Well, I finally made it through the holidays, and gained weight of course. I was close to being at my all time high for weight! And the bad news is my wedding is now less than 4 months away.

The good news is, I have been eating healthy and journaling everything I eat... & my fiancee' has too. We are staying right within our daily calorie goals, and we have both lost weight since Jan 1st. I have lost 4 pounds, and my goal is to lose 6-8 by my wedding day,  I am determined to do this! I still won't be at my real goal weight of 80 .....

Oh Yah ! Seriously, sex really reduces our weight quickly. But creates loss of health.And also it is not advisable before marriage.So it is better,  we can go for medicines for weight loss.

I will tell you a better way to reduce your weigt , that is, when you wake up, with your empty stomach you go walking or jogging, if you prefer to walk then walk atleast 5 to 6 kms (up and down)  then you will find an improvement.................

Get a personal trainer if you're into the gym, or take a spinning class if you like stationary biking. Alternatively, yoga is great for dropping the pounds, as long as you stick to it. For all of the above you need to exercise 4-5 times a week for at least an hour to see any sorts of results.

As for a healthy diet, I've heard Jenny Craig and those sorts of places can be good, but really all you need to do is start cutting out bad things in your diet - cakes, candies, sodas, anything highly processed and full of sodium or sugars. Diet sodas especially have to go. After you've done that, stock up a lot on fruits and veggies (fruits contain natural sugars - your body has a much better time with them, so don't worry there). Eat plenty of protein, but eat red meat 2 or less times a week. Chicken and fish are your best bets. Every meal should be small, and you should eat about 5 times a day. The three "main meals" should be around 400-600 calories, and then inbetween meals should be about half that. (The small snacks can be things like a handful of peanuts, an apple and string cheese, etc.)

For example, a good breakfast would be: A carnation instant breakfast mixed with 1tbsp peanut butter (assuming you're exercising regularly), a couple thin slices of lean turkey, and a small handful of almonds.

Like I said before though, baby steps. Keep three meals a day, just make them smaller and healthier. Subtract processed foods and stock up on fruits and veggies.

Above all, find a type of exercising that's right for you. I found yoga, myself, but I know people who swear by running, swimming, or spinning.

Your ideal weight might not be a size 0. There are plenty of women who find themselves comfortable around a size 6. It'll take time, aim to lose 1-2lbs/week.

Remember, it's a lifestyle change. To lose weight and keep it off, these are things you want to incorporate into your life, not lose weight and go back to your old habits.

Good luck!

I really would suggest to reduce what you put in your body food wise because exercise will not do it alone. No matter how much and how hard you exercise but you don't watch how much and how hard you eat - exercise can not work effectively.

Exercise is an important weight loss tool, but how much you need varies from person to person. i suggest at least 250 minutes per week, which comes out to about 50 minutes, 5 days a week. If you're a beginner, start small (3 days a week for 20 to 30 minutes) to give your body time to adapt. Don't forget, things like walking, taking the stairs and household chores can burn more calories as well.

Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for many different reasons. These include strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.It also improves mental health and helps prevent depression.

A sure shot way of losing a minimum of 4kgs in a week is to follow the 'General Motors Diet'. To get the diet plan go on the internet and type out - general motors diet, and you will get many sites.
It is not a difficult diet to follow, and if you team it with exercise you will definitely lose more than 4kgs.

To get a personal trainer would be a good option. He could help you as to what are the effective exercises. Of course, you have to discipline yourself when it comes to food. Have you been to the gym? That could be another option.
