I think exercise is the greatest way to lose a weight. The greatest exercises will include a cardio aspect and a toning aspect, as this will permit you to observe the results faster.
You can watch what you eat very closely, like see how many calories you SHOULD be eating a day & stick to it. Don't go over, don't go under. Also, exercise frequently. Not necessarily every single day. Run, jog, swim laps, hit up a gym, etc. I know it's not what you want to hear but that's the only way.
Forget dieting choose a food change for life-healthy foods know your
good & bad fats.Example below & copy & paste the link for
info about sugar & carbs.
Good Fats, Bad Fats
Remember that all fats are high in calories.
The best choices for heart health are the monounsaturated, omega 3 fats and the polyunsaturated fats.
Best Fats Monounsaturated Fat Foods
Avocado
Oil (canola, olive, peanut, sesame)
Olives (all)
Nuts
almonds, cashews
filberts, hazelnuts
macadamia nuts
peanuts, pecans
pistachios
Peanut butter, old-fashioned
Sesame seeds
Good Fats Polyunsaturated Fat Foods
Margarine (first ingredient is polyunsaturated oil)
You all are doing very well with healthy living which includes excersise!
I usually go for 30 minute fast walks at least 4 days a week. Or I'll dance. I eat a balanced diet and look at fat, cholesterol, trans fat too. I stay away from alot of salt, sugar, and processed foods. I rarely eat fast food.
When My Husband and I eat out, we split a meal to save both money and fat and calories.
I am strong and athleticly slender.
I feel good, and I don't compare my 135 pound 5'5" height medium bone structure with anyone.
I am proud of myself. I wear a size 7/8.
I have great muscle tone. P.S. I get arms toned by swinging on a swing in the park, even all year(yes even in the cold.) I hate push ups.
So Ladies I've got(feminine) Guns(if you will) ;)
My nickname is Gunnie. LoL my father in law and I talk about the war(from vietnam) and that's my nick name, which I like, cause I'm strong, and fiesty but I also can be feminine too!
Thanks,...
God Bless You all!
God Bless,...

Ever since I went on a diet...I learned A LOT about what to eat.
Don't hate calories...my friend told me that its not the calories but the calories from fat. I
also know to stay away from saturated fats, and refined grains. I also
learned that if you are excercising a lot...you should have a little
sugar in your diet after a work out it helps the muscles..I don't know
a lot on that subject...but a friend of mine who plays baseball about
five times a week puts sugar in his water becuase he says it helps his
muscles .... Drink a lot of water...of
course... stay away from soda...it destroys your bone mass as
well...and your teeth..so its overall better anyways. As for coffee...I
have heard it speeds up your metabolism...I use to drink it
everyday...but if i drank it on an empty stomach...I found myself
extremely hungry and then overeating or getting headaches...
pears, raisens, and prunes help you... You want a LOT of fiber...This
may all be old news...but I use to eat badly...ONLY looking at the
calories...not the fat...fiber...fat grams...etc

Ahhh, school food, I always avoid that, but then if you went to my school you'd understand why *shudders*. I usually just take in a bottle of water, a sandwich (wholegrain) with cheese and onion relish of course And also either a small pot of fruit or veg, I try to alternate. I find this filling and is a healthy alternative to burgers and fries! ... Furthermore, most days my schools only 'veggie' option is fries... Yea right. So even if I wanted something cooked (Braving the canteen here), it wouldn't be possible. (I'm a vegetarian too). I've heard about schools that do serve nice meals, and if anyone has seen Supersize Me, that school for kids with problems or something, that's how all canteens for schools should be. Saying that... Only 4 months till I leave for good! Yay for college
I think I'll stop talking now, I'm rambling....

Okay, trying to watch what I eat a little more closely now (especially the late-night snacking, which is probably one of my biggest problems), and trying to exercise more (using the weights more regularly again, and trying to increase my exercise from 40 to 60 minutes as often as I can stand it, as many days of the week as I'm able to fit it in). I guess I'll see how much that helps. I'll probably weigh and measure myself again in a week or two and see if it's helping.

Blee. . . by that formula I'm eating over 700 extra calories :-( . I must really be overestimating portion sizes to be that far off! I guess I need to buy one of those weird little food scales or something.

The best way to lose weight and still basically eat what you like is to calorie count. I’m your same height and was 130 pounds at your age. Even though people told me I should lose about five pounds, I wish I was still at that weight. I got so sick of dieting that I finally gave up and now twenty years later I’ve gotten way too heavy.
What I wish I knew then that I know now is that you can eat pretty many calories to maintain a 130-pound body. If you only eat the calories to maintain a 130 pound body (or any other weight) you will eventually get down to that weight without killing yourself.
Decide to go slowly and stick to it. Don’t shoot for fast weight loss because you will never stick to it. So here is the formula. Choose a weight you want to be and I’ll use 130 as an example. There is a simple formula for determining how many calories to eat a day. If you don’t exercise at all, multiply the weight by 13. Example: 130 x 13 = 1690 calories. If you are moderately active, multiply the weight by 15. 130 x 15 = 1950. If you are very active, multiply by 17 and if you are extremely active multiply by 20.
I took a nutrition class in college that had a very complicated formula to get pretty much the same numeric results. I found this simple formula years ago in Prevention magazine I believe.
Anyway, the point is, if you are at 151 pounds now and you are not active, then 151 x 13 = 1963 calories a day. That is how much you are eating on average. If you calculate 1963 calories (to maintain 151) minus 1690 calories (to maintain 130) then it shows that you are only eating 273 extra calories a day to be 151 pounds. That is not very much. It could be only a soda or two, two or three cookies or even only a couple tablespoons of peanut butter.
So don’t kill yourself trying to lose weight fast on a 1000-1200 calorie a day diet like I used to do. 1690 calories should let you eat quite a bit and over time you WILL lose the weight and get down to 130 (or less – whatever weight you choose – just follow the formula). It is Math that is your friend. Your body cannot maintain 151 pounds unless you are feeding it enough calories to do so.
Most food packages have the calorie counts per serving on them. Make sure you look at how big a serving is! There are usually multiple servings per package. And get a good calorie counting book from the store, or look on-line.
You will find that you can eat much more food if you choose lots of vegetables. And of course exercising helps, but if you hate to do it, then the calorie counting should still work.
Good luck. The best thing to do is lose the weight now while you are young, but SLOWLY. Then, once you are down to your desired weight, follow my mom’s rule; weigh yourself every day and when you gain two pounds – go back to the calorie counting!
Remember, only 65 calories extra a day (if you don’t exercise) will keep FIVE extra pounds on you. That is like half a soda a day!!!!! (If you don’t believe me, then do the formula above for 130 pounds and then for 135 pounds.)
One more thing, if you are in school and eat the cafeteria lunches, then you should try to bring your lunch so you can control the calories. If this is not possible, then I would calculate the school lunches at around 800 calories (usually loaded with fat). But that still leaves over 800 calories for the rest of the day! You can do it! Just stay away from the regular sodas and juices. They are loaded!
