How can I lose weight? I'm 5'7 I weigh about 120 pounds and I want to lose weight and lose my stomach. What type of diet and exercises should I stick to and please don't say "but you don't need to lose weight."

I NEED. TO LOSE. WEIGHT. I'm 5'7" and weigh in at 169 whoppin pounds. I'm trying to find a motivation to lose weight, but I can't. I'm looking for an excercise that I can do basically in my bedroom or on a bike. I live in a house surrounded by unfit/unhealthy people, and this doesn't help in the least.

What other exercises can I do at home without needing to buy a DVD. I already do at least 120 Sit-Ups and 10 Push-Ups daily. What more can I do?

I am trying to lose weight, but I have a problem getting motivated. I also don't know what the best exercises are for what I am trying to accomplish. I want to get rid of belly fat, but mostly fat on my buttocks, thighs and I want to gain some arm muscle. I kind of want to lose some of this weight before my friends wedding in a month. Because I don't want jiggle while I walk or dance that night.

How do you tone your arm muscles? I can't stand wearing jackets all day.

I've been trying to tone my abs, but the exercises I'm doing don't seem to be working. I've cut out foods with high fructose corn syrup, except soda, but I don't have it very often. I also work out a few times a week. Does anyone have any suggestions on new exercises, or maybe can give me ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

I have been striving for months to tone up my body, walking,running, leg/arm weights and even the PowerPlate but my main problem area is my stomach. I always have a constant bump, even though I can pull in my stomach muscles in much further, what I don't understand is how can I be doing Sit-Ups, Crunches and Plank positions to fatten my stomach, but to no effect after so long?

How do I motivate myself? I'm about 5'2 and I want to lose some weight. I'm 150 pounds, it's classed as a little overweight and I don't feel comfortable at this weight. I want to do some exercise but my motivation has never been high.

I am in my early twenties, and like to stay relatively active (though I do go through phases where I work out more or less, depending on my schedule, etc). In high school, I did crew (rowing), which gave me some seriously muscular legs that didn't look lean, but bulky.

I would like to find motivation again to work out. I would like to start running because I will be going on vacation to Aruba in a few weeks. I do not need to lose weight but I would like to tone my legs and butt. Could anyone give me any advice. I am also a college student as well, and am very busy with work and finals coming up pretty soon.
