My advice, join a boot camp in your area that meets 3-5 times a week for at least an hour.
I've been doing this for 6 weeks & keeping a food journal and I've lost 7 inches off my waist, 3 off my chest, 2 off my arms, & 1 off my thighs. You don't loose much weight because you put on so much muscle, but you get really toned & look great in no time.
I highly recommend joining a boot-camp, it's worth the money. I'm one of those people that has to drag themselves to the gym kicking & screaming, so boot-camp is great for me. My trainer & I are aiming for 0 APF (armpit fat...come on, you know what I'm talking about...) by the wedding
