Have you thought about weight watchers. While you need to pay to attend the meetings, there is nothing that can keep you from counting your own points at home. I do it without paying the membership dues. I too am a very busy college student, taking 16 units and working full time, and I’ve managed to lose 12 pounds in the last month on the diet. As far as exercise goes, I do go to the gym. I’ve found that I just have to make the extra hour a day to get it done. If you can’t join a gym, just dedicated a half hour a day for walking. Not only will it help you lose weight, but it can also really help with stress. And the most important thing I’ve found is WATER. Drink water, lots and lots. You’ll have to run to the bathroom a ton at first, but believe me, it gets easier as your body gets used to the water intake. A good rule for water intake while trying to lose weight is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water. If your weight is 220 lbs, drink 110 ounces of water a day. This is easy if you just keep refilling your 20 ounce water bottle, just drink 5.5 bottles of water a day. Hope this helps some. Below are some links to info on Weight Watchers, and a points calculator that I use. Good luck, and congrats on your weight loss so far.
I like the Fat X workout and diet program.
hi, you can try some appetite suppressant supplements. This way you won’t have to go for a diet or exercise.
Make sure, you do a lot of research before starting.
Here is a useful website:

Just be careful not to overdo things. You’re better off losing a few less pounds but doing it in a healthy, safe way.
maybe get a friend to work out with you, who may also have a similar or hectic schedule as yourself? you could workout what times you have to spare for a bit of a work out and motivate each other, just by a simple phone call… 20-30mins a day is all you need.
even when you are super exhausted, just doing something like some yoga stretches (search the internet), or going for a walk around the block is better than doing nothing and you’ll feel heaps better afterwards.
jump rope is pretty cool – only do a few minutes here and there wherever you have only a bit of spare time, just as tough as running in my opinion! And you can get a jump rope for pretty cheap
but all the best, i too am a student and i can get very exhausted and not want to do a thing but i am sure you will be fine, just take it a little bit at a time – set little goals instead of making one big goal that seems impossible.
good luck!! =)
Tip #1 Decide Why You Want To Loose Weight.
To look good? Fit back into some of your favorite clothes? To feel healthier? What ever the reasons keep these in mind at all times. Write them down and put them in a place were you can see them every day. Review them once in a while to remind yourself of the cool reasons you started this.
Tip #2 Keep a food journal
Make a Diet Journal – Write down everything you eat throughout the day no matter how small it is. This will help you stay on your diet in the long run. You can also use your journal to track your weight loss, your feelings and so much more. You can really get creative here. The main point is to write it down. It will keep you involved and motivated.
Tip #3 Drink More Water
Drink More Water – Looking for a way to loose weight quick? then Drink more water. I know this diet tips is so basic, but it is because it flat out works. 6-8 glasses of water every day may sound like a lot, but spread out over the course of the day it isn’t. Drinking water before meals will also make you seem fuller and prevent you from overeating.
Tip #4 Don’t Skip Breakfast
Always eat breakfast. This will kick-start your metabolism for the day and also help you loose weight quick. It’s been slow all night so you want to give it a boost. If you don’t have time in the mornings then something as simple as a banana and yoghurt will do the trick. A firm banana will provide a slow release of energy throughout the morning so you shouldn’t feel the need for a mid-morning snack.
Tip #5 Consider Fruits and Vegetables
Adding additional fruit and vegetables to your diet provides you with plenty of energy giving vitamins and minerals. In addition to this, they provide extra fiber plus fluid to help speed the movement of food through your bowels. I have found Smoothies to be a great way to quickly add several servings of fresh fruit to my daily menu.
Tip #6 Learn proper portion sizes
Learn proper portion sizes. Most people do not realize what a half a cup of ice-cream looks like; therefore, when they dish up what they believe to be a 350 calorie serving, more than likely they’ve dished at least a cup and the calories are now 700. Not understanding portion sizes will sabotage your weight loss diet efforts. Again, food labels are your source here. Use measuring cups and count out things like crackers to see just how much you should really be eating. For portion sizes that are measured in ounces, a good rule of thumb is that a fist is about the size of a serving of meat.
Tip #7 Bring your lunch.
While it may be tempting to grab something from a fast food restaurant for a quick lunch, bringing your own lunch that is healthy and low fat is even better. Pack a healthy lunch and throw in some healthy snacks as well. If you bring raw veggies or low fat cheese with whole wheat crackers, you can snack on them between meals. A handful of almonds can be a quick pick me up when late afternoon rolls around and you start to feel fatigued.
Tip # 8 Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day
It’s easy to make the excuse that you don’t have time to exercise but set aside at least 30 minutes a day for some activity. Exercise can range from sports to running to yoga. There are a variety of fun and simple ways to get your exercise time in without necessarily going to the gym.
Tip #9 Choose walking over driving whenever it makes sense
When given the opportunity to walk to the store or to run errands, choose walking over driving. That extra travel time can be seen as being put towards your exercise time. This is also the environmentally friendly alternative.
Tip #10 Be realistic
If you follow the above guidelines you can eat what you want and loose weight quick.
Keep in mind once you are doing the above your weight will go down quicker than with any fad diet.
Don’t starve yourself this won’t help.
Crash dieting is unhealthy and the pounds soon come back on.
Stay with the above and you will soon loose weight fast and reach the weight you desire in a healthy manner.
