How to lose weight fast and inexpensively?
So- I have never tried to workout and lose weight before. I have been in good shape all my life until a few months ago I realized that I was gaining weight fast and I don’t know how to lose it the right way.
What is the best way to lose 40 pounds before Christmas? (In the most healthy and productive way possible)

FIRST – check your NORMAL IDEAL WEIGHT and make it a tartget (see below);
SECOND – try Easy Diet for 2-3 weeks (see below)

i would say eat small 5 meals a day get fruits, vegetables, and some meat or fish in there, you should take in around 1200-1300 calories a day. try not to drink a lot of soda, try drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water a day because doing that will allow your body to release more water then it normally does and you could loose around 10pounds of water weight. then you also need to try doing an excercise that burns alot of calories, id burn around 350 calories riding my bike for an hour.

(First – LilCutie gave you great advice. Small meals and high water intake is the way to go. Fat is released into the bloodstream – water flushes fat out of the bloodstream. A gallon a day is optimal, but do what you can).
I was going to write out this big long thing, but it’s probably too much. I’ve lost 20 lbs (*edit – weighed today – it’s over 25) since July and people thought I was in good shape then, so I’m going through this same thing. I’m trying to get to a super low body fat % number. And I’m much older. You have a huge advantage being young.
Bottom line is that it’s a slow process and there is no magic and no quick fixes – so 40 lbs may not be realistic. You’ve got a little over 80 days and that’s one pound every two days – that requires pretty intense training (burning over 1,000 calories a day and weights).
But it’s just science – certain principles apply to everybody (male and female, young and old). I’m training right now with a bodybuilder so anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Eat healthy, drink lots of water, no sodas, try to avoid fast foods and everything that’s junk food. Don’t starve your self eat your normal 3 meals of the day.
Run, walk or jog for at least 20 minutes everyday. You might not lose the 40 but at least you will lose some and just keep that going until you reach you reach your goal

Do not be a couch potato. It is the easiest thing in the world to become a couch potato. You know what we are talking about don’t you’ That shapeless thing that sits or reclines on a shapeless chair in front of the television and stupidly munches away at something fried! If you are inclined to become a promising old couch potato, break the habit, cut at the very root of the vine. And you want to know what the best way is for that’ Take away that favorite chair of yours. In fact, it would be a very good idea if you could keep a chair that isn’t too comfortable in front of the TV. This will discourage any tendency to become a couch potato.

If you have a sitting job, stand up and stretch yourself every half an hour. Most of the jobs today are indeed sitting jobs that are in one word sedentary. This is especially true for those who sit and punch away at the keyboard or toy with the mouse all day long. So if you have such a job, make it a point to get up at least every half an hour and stretch your self.

Stop using remote controls. Remote controls are the bane of a prospective weight loser. They may be remarkable gadgets by themselves but from the weight loss point of view, they just aren’t very helpful. They really encourage us to take a laid back kind of attitude towards life itself. In fact if remote controls were not there, the television would not have become so popular. It is because of remote controls that people can remain where they are and switch from one channel to the other. And they only have to twitch a finger muscle to achieve this. Now, I have nothing against multi channel television sets but what I strongly advocate is that you get up from where you are and change the channel of the TV each time you want to do so. The same thing holds true for other remote controls as well. As it is we have remote controlled TVs, DVD players, A/Cs, garage doors, gateways and what not. The next thing we know is that we will have remote controlled people as well.

Psst. I would like to let you in on a secret. As it is I understand that most of us tend to put on weight particularly in the mid section, right. It is the tummy that seems to have a mind of its own. Well I will tell you a sure shot method to reduce the flab around the waist line. Mind you this doesn’t hold true for post pregnancy tummies. This is what you have to do. Breathe in air as strongly as you can and as you do so, tuck in your tummy as much as you can. Hold it like this for a few seconds and then slowly release your breath taking care not to let out your tummy. Try to keep breathing like this at least fifty or sixty times in a day. In fact breathe like this whenever you can remember to do so. After the first day, you should feel the muscles of your stomach tightening each time you do this. Then you know that you are on the right track. If you practice this without fail for 20 days, at the end of the twentieth day, you will have lost at least an inch.

In my opinion, if you want to lose weight you need to create a good habits. Weight loss is not a destination, it is a habit. Consistently adding habits into your life that cause you to lose weight is the only way to get the results you truly desire.
