i'm slightly overweight by 5 pounds, and i need to lose that before I can look nice in a bikini! i'm trying to do this for the summer, but these last 5 pounds just are not coming off. does anyone know how to kick my metabolism? i already eat pretty healthy and exercise. what else can i do?
fragileivory answered Saturday May 14 2005, 6:42 pm: Switch up your exercise plan. Also, exercising too much can keep weight from coming off. Try eating more spices, like cinnamon, for example. Spicy foods can temporarily help your metabolism. Keep in mind the last few pounds come off the slowest and that you're just human!
