I have about 1 month until school starts. I want to loose some weight, about 7 pounds. Is this possible? If so, how do I get motivated? I don't eat much, but I can't get myself to exercise. I mean, I get exercise when I do stuff with friends, but otherwise, I can't get motivated to do it myself. Don't tell me to ecercise with my friends. What are some tips on loosing weight? What exercises should I do? I basically want to tone up my stomach, that's the main goal. Please don't tell me anything super strict. Thanks.

What Im doing is cutting down on calories, im eating more chicken [high in protein ,low fat,no carbs] veggies, and fruit and light peanut butter and whole grains. Those are great!
And for exercise , since you have a goal think about what you will look like after you loose the weight, that should get you motivated quickly enough. Or put a picture of someone you wish you looked like on the fridge or in your room in a visible place, even though thats corny it still works. You should go on long walks, those burn calories and dont make you too tired and some weight lifting for legs and arms will help tone your body and make you stonger .

If your not a runner you can get some fun into it!Play a game of DDR or do some yoga.Or you can gather some friends and play a game of soccer or tag.Just spruce it up a bit.
pootietang answered Tuesday August 1 2006, 3:48 pm: I heard somewhere that if you add celery and/or asparagus to your diet, you will lose weight. Here's why.
Let's say you eat a celery stick, and that the celery stick has 10 calories total (I'm making up numbers). It takes about 30 calories for your body to digest the celery stick. So really, you lose 20 calories! (Again, I'm not sure about the exact number of calories). So if you eat enough celery, you could burn off your entire lunch or something. The same goes with asparagus. If you don't like celery, eat it with Ranch or Bleu Cheese. [ pootietang's advice column | Ask pootietang A Question ]

only a couple minutes each day, done correctly, and that'll do it! remember to stay hydrated & replenished. on the eating side, you don't have to eat more or cut down. just eat healthy and not-fatty foods and you're already on the good side! good luck!
