Ok.. so last year at school... i was.. one of the big girls in the class i have one month or more to get in shape. Where can i get good excersise ideas? I want to lose 34 pounds.. HELP!
Exercising IS NOT the key though, you also need to watch when and how much you eat. Try not to eat untill you get all the way full. Only eat the 3 main courses, and if you are going to grab a snack make sure it will just hold you over for the next meal. what i think is the most important thing...drink ALOT OF WATER.

"Drink water. No soda, only 1 cup of 100% juice per day (and no roll-overs - if you don't have one on one day, you don't get 2 the next), and try to not eat very many carbs (rice, potatoes, carrots, sauces, sugar, grains, et cetera). For bread, keep away from white and only have some that looks at least "tanned". Meat, green vegetables, and water are your friends; other vegetables, fruits, and milk your buddies; grains and juices your acquaintances; and munchies, sodas, and juice drinks your enemies.
A person should drink half their body weight (measured in pounds) in fluid ounces of water per day. Less water than this reduces your metabolism. More than this won't increase it, but, as long as it's not terribly more, won't be unhealthy. What that means is that you take your weight and divide it by 16, and that's how many fluid measured cups of water you should drink per day. I don't know how milk and juice effect this amount, but you shouldn't be drinking more than 2 cups milk or 1 cup juice a day anyway.
When there's the option of walking or biking vs driving, try to do the former rather than the latter. If you do a lot of watching TV, try to get up and be busy during commercials, or pause the movie every 15 minutes or so and walk around.
Do not purge - this will do tragic things to your body's chemistry, not to mention throw your health right out the window. Good looks are not worth sacrificing your health - a healthy woman is far more attractive than one who is annorexic."
Beyond that, about 1-2 hours per day of just walking or jogging or whatever should help. Just make sure that you don't count anything that's less than about 30 minutes - 15 minutes excersize does almost nothing. 30 minutes excersize twice does less than an hour excersize, but only very little. Although, there are those who argue (including myself) that 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening is better for your metabolism than 1 hour at either.
