I just love answering these diet tips questions. Here’s another:
Just wondering if anyone has anything they could recommend if they have lost a considerable amount of weight themselves? Thank you in advance! 
first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..
eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is very bad for overall health.
if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.
go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.
if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.
10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…
btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.
drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well
DIETING has become big business, to be frank and honest with you my dear the best tip is :- Train your mind to self belief and yourself to eat just what you need.

It looks like you need some toning up. here are some tips
- (stating the obvious): eat healthy (try and fit in an apple a day)
- sit ups will really lose that stomach weight. (lots and lots of sits ups: i reccomend AT LEAST 30 sit ups a day. )
- slowly start eating smaller quantities of food. this is probably the main cause of this weight gain
- stretch every part of your body everyday (should be easy considering your a dancing student)
- go to the beach and run. running on the sand is the most effective way to tone up.
- suck your stomach in and leave for 30 seconds. repeat 10 times. or do when ever you can.
- try and shake your belly in the shower (or try and move it around as much as possible

Hi,
I don’t know about dieting, but i read this article which offers 65 weight loss tips; here is a brief summary of it:
This article will be all about simple tips you can do to lose weight fast. Check out these tips, employ how many you can of them and you will see results:
1. Create reasonable weight loss goals to make sure you monitor your progress.
2. Always stop eating while youâre still a little hungry to make sure you donât stuff yourself.
3. Learn to tell physical hunger from emotional hunger to help you eat only when youâre really hungry.
4. Avoid sugary drinks and sodas as these are full of empty calories.
5. Learn to say no to deserts, birthday cakes, and other sweets which people offer you at work, events, and so on.
6. Take up walking. This is an excellent cardio workout thatâs right for beginners and can help you quickly get into a workout routine.
7. Donât eat too much after a workout. Thereâs no use stuffing yourself full of calories after youâve just burned some.
8. Donât weigh yourself more than once a week. Weighing yourself too often can lead to frustration.
9. Donât compare yourself to other people. Some people lose weight faster than others. Your only competition is with yourself.
10. Donât forget to eat breakfast. Eating breakfast helps to get your metabolism up and sets the tone for the entire day.
11. Cut down on your alcohol consumption. Alcohol is rich in calories, sugar, and actually disrupts the fat burning process.
12. Do 10 minutes of mild workout or stretches in the morning before you go to work or school.
13. Do 3 strength workouts each week. You can do more if you have the time, but 3 is a bear minimum.
14. Change your workout routine every 4-6 weeks.
15. Donât use strength machines. Free weights are much better. Another good option is to do bodyweight workouts.
16. Use positive affirmations to imagine your ultimate body and how youâd like to feel after you lose weight, this will help you remain motivated.
17. Donât sit down for long hours. Cut down your sitting time by 10% at the very least.
18. Take the stairs instead of the elevator any chance you can.
19. Avoid doing workouts for your trouble spots more than for your other body. You canât burn fat from a specific body part by exercising alone so why bother?
20. When you drink tea or coffee, make sure to use less sugar. I prefer sweetening tea with honey myself.
21. Drink enough water â 8-12 glasses a day is what an adult requires. Make sure to drink often.
22. Eat dark chocolate â This will help you satisfy your sweet tooth and is actually quite healthy for you.
23. Eat a lot of fruit during the day as snacks.
24. Eat 5 vegetables each day during your meals and in between.
25. Donât starve yourself as this can have a bad effect on your metabolism.

How about your bedtime duration? How long do you sleep?
To avoid taking large meals, you have to make sure you wake up early and sleep less.
Previously, my weight was 90kg and I managed to reduce weight and right now my weight is scaled at 68KG.
