lose body fat

Can someone please tell me some of the best things i can do to burn and shed some of this body fat quickly? What are the best exercises that will push my body into shape? I only need to lose around 10 pounds but I was recently to a point where i havent been able to work out for a long time and now everything is just mush, No tone or definition. I really want to get back to where i was before 10 pounds of fat can be very noticable on a very short girl like myself. I am 5"'2 and am now up to 119 pounds. Help!

Losing body fat is largely done through diet. You workout to maintain muscle mass while dieting, so you can lose the fat and keep the muscle.

Eating less, working out more!
I think dancing works awesome, i've also seen ALOT of people on here do the 30 day shred, and they have wonderful results !

you dont even know what her fat intake is. what if its already too low?

you open your mouth and this wisdom just rolls out?

find something that looks like fun , so that you are more apt to do it more often. join a zumba class, a toning or kickboxing class, or even find a friend to take up running. if its fun it wont seem like a chore. i am a personal trainer and have my clients number one-to switch from simple carbs to whole grains, two-increase their protein counts to a minumum of 60 but preferrably over a 100 and also to find a physical activity that they enjoy and try to work out an hour a day.

@jessiemiller - since you worked out before and had muscle, it should be easier this time around to get back in shape, especially as it really hasn't been all that long of a lay-off. Just get back on that train of working out with a solid program that hits all areas of the body, tighten up your diet, and do the cardio. With that last, implement interval training a couple of days a week - this will vary the cardio, and intensify it. With getting back into lifting, start with lighter weights and more repetitions. The one person here who commented that some folks had to learn how to crawl before walking, in regards to "lift heavy" is absolutely right. Just jumping into a heavy lifting program from the get-go, whether returning from a lay-off, or as a beginner, is an invitation to injury. My old trainer who got me started on weights many years ago basically said the same thing. He always had people start off on lighter weights with more repetitions. The reason for this being that the stabilizers and inter-connectors in the body have to be brought up to speed first before later heavier work can safely be done. Even for someone who IS on a heavier program, switching to lighter weights and higher reps can be beneficial for a period.
But back to you - I think you'll find as you get back in the swing of working out with the weights, and really tightening up your diet, this will all take care of itself. The weights will firm things up with bringing muscle back to your body, and the tighter diet will work on the body fat that's so upsetting. Consider that it's going to take at least as long to get back in shape as it did to get out of if, if not longer. Best of luck!:)
