Lose weight in three weeks.
Okay, so I know everyone asks tips on how to lose weight, and I'm sorry, but I am another one.
In three weeks, I am going to live at a beach for about a month. I would really like to be confortable with my body in a bathing suit.
I am not like obsese. I am about 5'4, probally a little less. I have fat thighs, and a not flat/kinda chubby stomach/hip area, everything else I'm okay with.
So please, just tips on more things I could do [I don't have access to a gym] Would just running/eating right be enough? but then how often/for how long should I run? Also how could I motivate myself?

Eat a lot of salad and drink tons of water. Salad just breaks down into water anyways so that is good for you. Dont put fattening dressing on it either. Just put balsamic viniger mixed woth water. Eat fat free cottage cheese and fat free yogurt sweetened only by fruit juice. Dont eat carbs at night and dont eat past 6 o'clock at night. Limit your sugar intake. only eat natural sugars (but not too much). If you are going to eat carbs make sure that they are the good carbs...whole grain...like from oatmeal and stuff like that. Running is good and so are simple at home things that you can do. You can just move around and that is burning carbs. Motivation: Just think about your hot body and wonderful health benifits that you are goijng to recieve from this. You are going to feel better about yourself and feel more energized too. Those always motivate me! Hope this helps. :)

you should eat a total of 1200-1500 calories a day, and do cardio (running, swimming, etc) for 1-3 hours a day.
that should get you in shape, and if not, at least tone you up.
motivate youself with how much you want to look good in that bathingsuit. hang it on your wall, or somewhere youll see it everyday. =D

Find some type of aerobic activity that you enjoy and can do every day, or at least every other day; something that gets your heart pumping and gets you sweating for at least 30 minutes. A few ideas are:
1) treadmill/stairmaster/stationary bike
2) bike riding
3) aerobics class
4) jogging or walking
5) swimming laps
6) dancing in front of your mirror
Planning out your excerise regime is the easy part, but staying motivated can be hard, especially since it takes a while to start seeing the results. A few tips for staying motivated:
1) If you can, bring a magazine, an ipod, or a book on tape while you exercise, to make it more enjoyable.
2) Make short-term goals and reward yourself when you accomplish them. For instance, for every 5 days you exercise, get yourself a pedicure or a new pair of earrings.
3) Even if you don't feel like exercising, force yourself to do it. It's really easy to get out of the habit if you miss one or two times! But once you get into the habit, it really does make you feel good and you want to keep it up!
Good luck!!!
