new years resolutions are hard to keep up with but you sound stuck to it... you can do 60 crunches a day without the pain (i do it) do 20 when to wake (this will get you going in the morning) 20 in the daytime or when you get home from school/work and 20 when before you go to bed (this will burn off most of what you just ate or what you had for dinner) also eating healthy and a regular/daily excersize will help within weeks you will notice a difference by doing the crunches (i do them myself and it helps)

Those will definitely help. But the fastest way to get into shape is to do some cardio, like biking, or running or even fast walking or any kind of athletic activity that gets your heart rate up and a good sweat about 3 or 4 times a week for about 40 minutes each time. You don't have to do it until you think you are going to collapse. On the contrary, if you start slow and enjoy what you are doing you will do it more often. Another really good activity to do is pilates. They usually offer it at gyms or you can just get a DVD. If you get the breathing technique down, and do it pretty consistently, you will lose a ton of weight and you won't feel like you are having a really intense work out, though you are, while you are doing it. Also, diet. The easiest thing to do is to cut out soda, even diet soda while you are trying to lose weight. Diet soda has a ton of sodium in it and can prevent you from losing weight. Also, nix white bread, sugary cereals, even sugary food that seems healthy like fruity yogurt and granola. Check to see how much sugar those things have. You will be surprised.
Good luck, just small changes will really make a difference.
Keep me posted.

you dont need to lose weight. you are the right weight for your height. doin sit ups and crunches wont help you lose weight either trust me i know these things. i thought i was fat to so i started doin sit ups and push up and crap like that and the only thing that happened is my stomach got flatter and it all turned into muscle. this is really the only thing you can do it makes it look like u lost weight but u really didnt. i have been the same weight since 5th grade and just this summer my neighbor said it looks like ive lost a lot of weight.try do in sit ups and push up and any other exercise you can think of. hope i helped.

Dear New Years,
I can't even begin to tell you how many times i've tried to lose weight and i have done many different types of things like dieting, sit ups and all different kinds of stuff. It's great that you wanna loose weight because that means that you really care about your appearence and your health. My solution is don't start all at once. Don't start emmidiatly doing 100 sit ups and 100 of those leg exercises because that will just make it harder on your body to make you lose weight. It makes it harder because your body isn't used to working out like that and doing that to your body is just like someone pouring very very cold water on you while you were in a very deep confertable sleep, you wouldn't like it would you? I didn't think so. So just start off with throwing any junk food away that would fall under the category like chips, candy bars, even too much carbs like bread and rice and that kind of stuff can be just as bad as eatting a candy bar. So just start off with throwing all the obvious stuff away like sweets but when you eat for example a bowl of cereal in the morning measure it to a cup and maybe eat some fruit along with it. Always remember that even coffee is bad so when you go to make it instead of sugar put in sweet'n'low you know the ones in the little pink bags. Then for lunch if your gonna have a cheese burgur with french fries take either the bottom or the top off your burgur so you don't have as much carbs as your would then only eat about 17 french fries or if you have a small portion 5 or 10 french fries. As for dinner never eat a piece of meat bigger than your fist yes the protein is good for you but you shouldn't have too much of the same thing. Then if you have rice, measure it to a cup and eat it but don't cheat on having a little bit more. Then for snacks instead of sweets switch your candy bar for an apple or banana or orange the small oragnes are the best. Then for some exercise tips start off doing 30 push ups and 30 crunches then every week add 10 more on to that. So then the second week you'd do 40 crunches and push-ups. Good luck and i hope i helped. Remember this isn't till you just lose weight then your back on your same routine it's a life time commitment.
Good Luck and i hope i helped remember if you ever need some support you can always email me at bubblesamin@yahoo.com
