Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
Eating healthy is a major part of it, so don't just eat good before you go to bed. And how are you swimming with a broken hand? O well but try going jogging in the morning when its not to hot outside. Try some workout videos, and when your cast comes off go swimming....but actually do laps and such because trust me swimming is hard work, fun and an amazing work-out. Hope it helps.

Ok, I did this last summer, and I know a lot about fitness. I went from 210 pounds to 155 pounds. Ok, the crunches you're doing, will not help you to lose that much weight; you're doing too many believe it or not. You should never do 500 crunches in a single day; that doesn't help. Crunches are fine, but you need to only do that about four times a week, and only about 150 crunches tops. Too much ab work will actually make your abs show less if you overtrain them. What I found to be the best weightloss exercise to be is running. Running raises your metabolism unlike crunches, and it burns WAY more calories. Many people said eat small meals, and about six a day and that's how you should do it. Trust me, I've been there and done that, I know how you can lose the weight. Running is big. Swimming burns the most calories and is supposedly the best exercise; other types of cardio and aerobic activities help as well. Cut down on the crunches, start running, and eat right. These are the best tips that I can give you from personal experience. P.S. I hope the hand gets better. Friendly advice from Caleb.

We'll staRt out with the obvious: exeRcises. A few good activities that can simply assist in poRpoRtioning the body in it's ENTIRTY would be anything that gets the blood ciRculation goin', such as jogging, jumping jacks, jumping Rope, and walking, and bicycle walking. Also, 'tis the season of wateR aeRobics, and they will woRk like a CHARM!!
And if you'd like to taRget youR tummie specifically, tRy doing a couple hundRed sit ups oR cRunches. I know, I know, I know.. 'a couple hundRed' is A LOT, but if you bReak it up into sessions, it's not that difficult, tRust me. I'm the Queen of lazy fuckeRs, so if I can do this, YOU can do this! :P
And to tone youR ass and thighs, do leg lifts. To do these, stand up stRaight, and slowly move youR leg -ONLY YOUR LEG- backwaRds. Like, say you'Re going to kick something, but kick BARKWARDS, and DON'T BEND YOUR KNEES!! Make sense???
To tone youR arms, take two dum bells [whicheveR weight woRks foR you.. even if 3 pounds]. Put one in each aRm, and stand up stRaight with youR feet shouldeR-width apaRt. BRing the dum bells up to youR chest with youR elbows folded out [like TaRzan pounding his chest-soRt of motion, ya know?] Then at a MEDIUM speed... extend youR aRms out to the side, and slowly bRing them back in. You can do two at a time to help balance the stRength build up and toning, oR do one at a time if it's easieR. THIS DOES CUH-RRRRAZZIIEEEEEEE AMOUNTS OF MIRCALE!!!!!!!!!! If you do it foR at least 20 minutes a day you'll see a GIGANTIC diffeRence in a week TOPS. I do them all the time; it's fun!!
Also, pRoviding you cut out the EXTREMELY unhealthy foods, such as WHITE bRead [substitute it with wheat], cake pRoducts, ice cReam, hambuRgeRs, and soda... [if you'Re used to consuming A LOT of it] you can see a MAJOR diffeRence the fiRst two weeks, ALONE. My fRiend did it.. and we weRe both shocked to all hell!

As you pRobably alReady know, it's best to eat SEVERAL SMALL poRtions a day. Say, have an apple and a piece of cheese, two houRs lateR have a few cRakeRs, and an houR lateR have one piece of wheat toast, and so on and so foRth, ya know??? Little intakes of food like that givs youR body time to digest it pRopeRly. You see how that's betteR than eating one oR two huge meals a day... because it takes too long to catch up, and it can not buRn the caloRies quick enough, and then just quits, adding body fat.
But of couRse weight loss takes time.... you just have to stay committed, and have the dRive to keep it up. TRy to keep youRself busy... and sleep as often as possible... these things keep youR mind busy and off food. I can't Really say how long it will take; I suppose that diffeRs fRom peRson to peRson. It Really just depends on how much weight you'Re looking to shed. I'd say you could lose 10 to 20 pounds in a month; that's veRy possible, though you DO NOT need to lose that much!! It is still my opinion you aRe at peRfect weight as is!!
Goodluck to you though!! Hopefully I've been of some assistance heRe!! :)
