well what i think you should do but you dont have to do it since im just a teenager, but you should get like a dog, dosent matter what size but everyday you have to walk it, right? so that will help you to get out of the house, and depending on your lunch break you should just go for 30 min. at the gym or even on the week end. a while ago my mom said swimming helps you lose weight, she maybe on the weekends you can take your kids swimming, even if you think your "fat" and dont want to change just think, 'by the end of this month i will be 10 pounds lighter and feel more confident'. and also, stay away from carbs, cause in this magazine i read that carbs are more harmful for women and helps you GAIN more weight, but drink lots of water, have celery (negative cal.) because when you chew it you lose calories. if you need more tips message me! i'd be glad to help alot.!!
