How to lose weight and tone my body? -PICS INCLUDED-

Options
Hey I was just wanting some advice on how to lose weight and tone up and how long it will take?
I am 152cm and 58kg's. I have put on a lot of weight in a little amount of time
Meal ideas, exercise, etc would be great! Thanks :flowerforyou:

    It looks more like you need to tone up than actually lose weight. I'd suggest Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred - I had pretty good results with it and my tone/strength has definitely increased.

    You don't need to lose weight, no offence but I think you wouldn't look good any smaller.

    I think you look pretty good now but if you're unhappy I'd also suggest the 30 day shred, you could get it off amazon and it's pretty cheap, you can do it in your lounge and if you google 30DS results you'll see how much peoples bodies change in 30 days doing that program.

    If not it's time for a bit of lifting! See "The new rules of lifting for women" You'll see a massive difference toning wise.

    Another vote for Shred. Your diary's empty for the past few days (unless it's my slow computer not loading it again), but really keeping an eye on making sure you're getting enough protein and fat and not too many carbs helped me make the most of my last round of Shred -I look much more toned than when I was just eating 'normal' food (which for me = very low protein).

    Pictures are a bit risqué. I am sitting here with my 13 yr old son and turned my iPad away from his view. your body looks good.

    I agree with that comments that a little bit too much flesh on show here, but I don't agree with this ^^^ You don't have to wait til you have a weight problem to worry about your weight.

    That said, the OP hasn't got a lot to lose - an exercise regime is probably more important here than diet as other have already said.

    I know it can be weird when you hit late teens/early 20's and your body changes. The same happened to me, and I went from being able to eat absolutely anything and never putting on weight, to noticing things changing in my shape. Probably due to a few things; Hormones, Growth slowing down, Start drinking alcohol? (basically just like eating bags of sugar!), Lifestyle more sedentary (eg got a job in an office?). First of all don't worry, you look great. Your height and weight are pretty normal.
    Your body is becoming an adult one, and you just need to make sure you give it more TLC than before. Less chocolate and junk food, more exercise. Remember that drinks count too, alcohol, shakes, soda etc. have loads of calories!

    Please don't worry - you have a great body, and from your pic your skin, hair, eyes everything look really healthy. I love the earlier suggestions of 30 day shred or similar.

    30 day shred is a great idea. You may want to invest in a bra though. You will need your hands for push ups of a different kind :)

    seriously you really should put on some clothes......this is the internet ....you don't know what kind of people are looking at this besides MFP and where your pics will end up.......and I think you just need to exercise agreeing along with the others here on MFP

    Hey, im a tad taller than you im 5'2 and i weigh about 57kg,
    I looked at your picture and thought you had a good body and reminded me of mine a little and that was before i saw your weight/height, you've actually just made me realise my body isnt bad at all, and you have a good bum. So thanks... I know being small any extra weight makes you feel massive, because thats how i feel after having my daughter..
    I agree with the 30 day shred comment, ive just started level 2 and its making me feel good =] x

    Your ticker says that you have 17 kg to lose, which seems a bit extreme! You would be far better off taking up a sport - gym, running, kickboxing, etc, something that will make you stronger and fitter than trying to lose weight. Watching what you put in your body is always a good idea - fresh veg, fruit, protein, no junk (well, sometimes!)

    You really didn't need to post up half naked pictures of yourself to get meal and exercise ideas...
