Fitness Help
My name is Ashley. I am 18 years old. I am 5'3 and I weigh 114 pounds. I am wanting to lose 5 to 10 pounds because I have gained 6 pounds in the past 6 months and I just want to get my weight back down. Do you think 6 pounds is too much weight to gain in 6 months? I have grown in height I was 5'2 and a half and now I am 5'3. How many minutes should I walk on my treadmill a day? I do have The Ab Lounge. How many sit ups should I do on The Ab Lounge a day? I am taking the Coconut Oil Diet. Can taking Coconut Oil help me lose weight and has it worked for any of you?

Don't use weight to measure your state of health. Muscle mass is much denser than fat, and so it weighs more - since exercising adds muscle, your weight may not go down as you exercise more, but you will get slimmer and healthier as the weight moves to better places. My wife is also 5'3", and she weighs about 130, and she looks terrific.
I'm not an expert, but I've heard that one should get a minimum of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise per day. Walking on your treadmill would certainly qualify. As for situps, three sets of ten would be a good place to begin (or, if you're more like me, three sets of five) and you can add more when that starts becoming easy.
Trendy diets don't usually work well. If they did, there wouldn't be so many of them.
