Weight loss help! 10 EASY POINTS!!!!?

I was in town the other day when i got approached by this man, and he gave me his card for a modelling agencie. I’m 5ft10 and a size 12, and he said if I was serious about modelling, then I had to get down to a 6-8 dress size. I am serious about modelling, it’s one of those things I can do! Any weight loss tips would be greatly appreciated, altho i do want to loose the wieght healthily, and safely, so please don’t recommend fad diets. I need to loose this weight in 3-5 months 🙂

Any silly comments and I’ll report you. & please don’t lecture me.

Thanks, in advancee 🙂

Can anyone give me some good tips to overcome weight loss obstacles while in college?

I’m 5’3″ and currently 136 pounds, measurements roughly 35-28-38. I’m certainly not obese but I know from the past that I feel amazing in the 120’s weight range, and I’m definitely not happy with the way I feel and look right now. I’m a weight watchers devotee and have the computerized food log and fitness log (tracks measurements/weight/bmi/fat%) all ready to go, but I need some tips concerning some serious obstacles which have had me yo-yoing in weight since September.

*two free dining halls only source of food–the other, healthier places on campus offer pricey meals on a limited secondary budget of $200 per semester-dining halls generally offer pizza, burgers, eggs, bacon, and an “international” station which serves unfortunately delicious meals of 500-700 calories!
*there is a deli station, but i became quickly bored with their very bland sandwiches and my two former favorites, tuna sandwich and roast beef sandwich
*i’ve tried a couple times, but i’ve never been able to enjoy eating salads-there is a salad station, but it’s not self serve, and i have no idea what tastes good together with what dressing, etc
*the cold weather and the sloppy slushy outdoors makes me generally reconsider bundling up and walking to the campus gym as much as i know i need it

My best friend on campus (and actually kinda my only close friend, I’ve always been held back by my insecurities which I hope will be helped by losing weight) will be my roomie next semester, and she’s been a serious unconscious saboteur of my weight loss….she loves getting desserts after both lunch AND dinner, and always asks me to go with her to check out the dessert tables, if I don’t, she gets disappointed or makes fun of me…I’ve basically joined her in that bad habit where I found myself eating one or two chocolate cupcakes a day! I know she knows I’m always about to be in a diet, in a diet, or falling off a diet, but if I mention that a meal looks good but has too many calories, she’ll usually say “Oh, go on, just get it, who cares?” and when I do fall off the wagon she makes fun of me saying, “Just yesterday you said you couldn’t get dessert with me, and today you’re going back for your second serving of fries!” Right when we first met I told her I was trying to lose weight, and she said jokingly, “i’m your worst enemy then!” because she loves so much to eat.
I know that now she’s my roomie i’ll be eating even more meals with her and I need some tactics beforehand to deal with my cravings and not fall in because it’s easier to conform. She has gained weight in college too, 11 pounds in fact, but being 5’7″ and originally 108 pounds, becoming 119 pounds really has just given her very skinny frame some nice curves and bigger boobs, while my weight gain has me on the fast train towards becoming the michelin man.
I don’t blame my roomie for my weight, it’s certainly the choices I make that shape my size, but I would love some tactics for facing the obstacle of eating with her and the other obstacles I mentioned as well.

Weight loss for teenagers?

Three of my friends and myself (we’re around 18) are really trying to lose some weight. More specifically, fat. None of us have that much to lose, but at the same time it feels like no matter how hard we try, we just can’t lose it! We joined a gym that has a routine, and is only a half an hour work out that they claim is equal to two hours walking. We go three to four times a week if we can. It helped a little, losing 2 or 3 pounds and maybe 1 or 2 inches. We’re trying to eat better, but sometimes it’s not that easy.

We need help.
Gym. Should we join a different gym? Our current gym is “Curves” which is actually a very nice place with very nice women, but it doesn’t seem to be working as well as we thought. We enjoy the half hour convenience and the fact we’re not surrounded by women and men with perfect bodies. Is this not the right type of gym for us?

Eating. How can we control our eating habits better? It’s hard to choose a salad over a juicy burger. And at school, we aren’t really sure how many calories are in our food. We know eating better is a big part to losing weight, but we just can’t seem to do it.

Any advice, tips, or facts would be greatly appreciated!
