Looking to lose some weight

So I gained like 20ish pounds over the last year or so and I would like to drop it by September. Any tips? I think 10 pounds a month is a good and reasonable amount.

When I was losing weight I cut out alcohol, soda, drank nothing but water and coffee. I also avoided fast food and went on my treadmill 1 hour a day, 7 days a week. Then 3 days out of the week I would lift weights. I lost like 15 pounds in two weeks doing that, then gained 5 back but was all muscle.

Don't over do yourself. Cut out obvious junk food and just move more. 20 pounds is not a lot!

Try just doing body work, like crunches, lunges, ect sometimes that is enough if all else fails, walk! My sister swears by walking for her weight loss.

Get yourself a kettlebell. Can't afford it? Use a db or a free weight and do the kettle swing. My friend lost 50 pounds in 3 months ONLY doing this move. He did 100 to 300 a day without fail. He increased the weight as needed.

I am cutting out fast food for the most part. I am only going to eat it 2 times a month instead of 2-3 times a week. Thanks for your advice smile

I heard of kettle bells being amazing. I am going to look into this. How much do they cost? I would imagine I can get one for like $10 right?

This is why I've always figured that studies like this one which claim that being shorter makes people more paranoid is because guys like this can't fathom being anything but tall.
