1) Im fairly short, and some of that looking short may be from my inner thighs and love handles, would i look taller if i eliminated them?

2)I want to have a good body for summer, I already have exercises that I do, but how many times a week would i have to do them and for how long to get a summer body by or possibly before summer??

1) I know this sounds weird, but posture does a lot in making you look taller. If you have access to a full length mirror, go stand at it, with your bra and panties on. Stand there normally, then stand there with perfect posture. See what difference it makes. Posture is hard to control, but you can do it. With more self-esteem, the better you will get at it.

2) I have no idea what kind of exercises you do to tell you how many times and for how long you need to do them. However, below, you will find the work-out and diet tips that you can use in order to make yourself slimmer.

Exercise-
You only need 3 things in order to be able to do this, and it will cost you less than $20 if you go to Wal-Mart.
~~~exercise ball~~~~
~~~jump rope~~~~
~~~hand weights 2lbs.~~~~

Use your exercise ball according to the work-out plan provided in the package. Do this routine 3 times a week.

Use your jump rope starting at 5 minutes working your way to 15 or more, 3 times a week.

Go for a walk and use your hand weights. You need to walk for at least 15 minutes, 3 times a week.

Diet

Drink at least 8-8 ounces of water a day. This helps keep you hydrated, keeps your hunger to a minimum, and also helps flush out your system of harmful toxins.

Cut down on the amount of sugar, salt, and carbs that you consume. I am not saying cut it all out because of several different reasons. If you cut out on sugar, you will start craving it and then crash your diet. Salt is a neccesary mineral in your body, you cannot deplete your system of this mineral. Carbs are the same as sugar. Your body converts carbs into sugar. It also helps give you energy. It is not as good at giving energy as protein is, but not wise to take out all carbs.

#1 thing to avoid: prepackaged foods. They are packed with preservatives and too-much sodium. They will be your enemy in losing weight. This includes lunch meats, cheeses, T.V. dinners, canned soup, boxed meals and fast food meals.

Make sure you eat fresh fruits and veggies. They are essential to providing you with all the vitamins and minerals you need.

Eat lean meats such as turkey breast, chicken breasts, and fish. I am not saying take out red meat, you need iron.

Take a one-a-day multivitamin. This will ensure you get all the vitamins and minerals that you need that food cannot provide you alone.
