I'm 142 lbs and 160cm, and currently wear size 7s.
My goal by the end of summer is to atleast fit into a size 6 because 5 is probably going overboard.
I've cut out junk foods (sweets, chips, french fries etc.) and go to the gym 3-4 days a week for 1 1/2 hours. Which I have been doing for the past month or so and have yet to see any results. Anyways, I solely do cardio, no weight training because honestly, ripped men/women scare me.
Can anybody help me out with what else i can do to achieve my goal?
i got these tips from a homeremedy book...
I tryed the tomato remedy and it worked great..I've losed all the weight i wanted.. plus you can eat whatever you want too and still lose weight
1.
Make a mixture of 1/4 teaspoon powdered black pepper, 3 teaspoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon honey in 1 cup water. Drinking this mixture for 3-4 months may be helpful in weight loss for obese and overweight people.
2.
Every morning drink a glass full of water mixed with lime juice and some honey.
3.
Eating a tomato in the morning before breakfast for 3 to 4 months may be helpful in weight loss for obese and overweight people.
4.
Eating 10-12 fully grown curry leaves every morning for 3 to 4 months may be helpful in weight loss for obese and overweight people.

It's a common misconception among women that if they lift a few weights, they will end up looking like a body builder. The truth is, you would have to do a lot of intense lifting before you would even start to see any changes in your muscles. The important thing about weights is that they increase your metabolism so you burn more calories and therefore lose more weight. You can try something simple like 3-5 pound weights twice a week. When I added weights to my workout it made a huge difference in my weight-loss. Also when you're at the gym, do you do the same workout everytime? If so, try changing it up a little. Like if you usually do the treadmill try doing the eliptical or stairmaster. Your body starts to get used to a certain workout if you do it over and over again and you won't burn as many calories. I hope that helps, good luck! [ askjendotorg's advice column | Ask askjendotorg A Question ]

Do some running like 20 min. a day and do some weight training like start with 5lb weights and sit down and rest you arm on the inside of your leg. Then lift the wieght up and down by bending your elbow. and then gradually move up to 8lbs.. (Weight training doesn't mean that you are gonna be ripped.those ppl lift like 4x a day)
Do that every other day for about 2 weeks then everyday for 2 weeks. Then if you haven't lost any wieght try 2x a day for 2 weeks.
Remember! don't skip a meal,like breakfast, or starve yourself you will only gain wieght back faster. cutting out junk food is great. Also try to eat more fruit and veggies.
