• Answer:

  Cut off your boyfriend's head - you'll lose 20 ugly pounds with the snap of your wrist! (: That's just a joke... I really wish I had a serious answer for you - I'd like to do the same. But after years of being a girl (well okay, all of my life) and struggling with weight gain an dloss, I have found that the only healthy and sensible way to lose weight is through proper diet and regular exercise. The exercise is key. It's critical...has to be consistent and enough of it. If it helps (and I hope it does), I walk for 30-45 minutes each night...maybe skipping one or two, but no more than that, if my schedule is tight. I also do 45 minutes of yoga OR 25 minutes of Tae-Bo at least 3x per week in the morning as soon as I wake up. Throw in a steady diet of sex and that's my exercise plan for life. It works for me. But what works for me may not work for you. Unfortunately, our bodies and systems are so different, you really have to try almost everything and then customize your own diet/exercise plan. I tried many, many things and didn't lose weight. Then suddenly, it all came together and what I do now seems to be maintaining my weight where I'd like it. And I don't starve myself at all. I've never been on a structured diet. I just try to eat healthy...lots of fruit and veggies, little meat, plenty of dairy (because I like it!) and very little sugar. No meaningless snacking. Meaning - no empty calorie snacks. If I'm having something to eat between meals (and I am) it's carrot sticks or a few handfuls of popcorn, cottage cheese and a few crackers, etc... Not chips, donuts or any other form of junk food. I absolutely avoid fast food - it's a killer. If you don't know this, do an online search for your favorite fast food restaurant and click on their nutritional information link...thousands of calories can be consumed in one meal. Also, back to eating between meals...I have found that if I eat SOMETHING (even that hadnful of popcorn) at least every 3-4 hours, I do not gain weight. When I try to stick to three meals a day, I gain. I think it's because I am so much hungrier by mealtime that I overeat. The key is keeping the snack to a minimum...not the number of times you snack, just what you are eating. Make it a snack, not a meal. I wish you the best of success in meeting your weight goals. It's tough, I know. But if you really commit to yourself to do it and you are consistent, you WILL achieve what you want. Go for it!!!
