I would love to lose some weight before my holiday in the sun in November :L lol . Its in a sunny country. so yes, even though its novemvber theres still sun :D
Anyway, got 6 weeks off from school now, so figured it would be a good time to start losing some weight . Cellulite on thighs and bum aswell :(

Has anyone got any tips for me?
Because i started running, but it gets boring after a while. theres no motivation for me ... "/

ANY tips please?!
Really would love to lose weight for My holiday :D x

work out, its the best and safest way to lose weight, for a girl of your age you should just run for about an hour a day. if you really wnna lose weight quick you should do situps, this really works your stomach area and runnin works your thighs and your bum.

Hope this helps :P

Help with diet/recipes that contain little to no meat?

I was raised in a meat-loving family so I never was used to eating salads, nor do I know how to make vegetarian meals.
Now I have a medical condition that requires me to lay off red meat completely, and to have very minimal white meat.
I'm allowed to have some free range fish and eggs, but the diet is supposed to be based on vegies, lentils, chick peas, and such.
Please share some of your vegetarian recipes or links to help me out.
Thanks :)

Amy's Soy Mac-n-cheese, add Soy Knox or Smart Dogs.

Amy's Indian food or Trader Joe's Indian Food (Dal) with rice.

Veat 'Salmon' (pan fry in olive oil, garlic powder and capers or lemon juice) serve with rice and a salad.

Hummus, pita bread and a salad.

Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avacado.

Slice tomatoes in rounds, top with Soya Kaas mozzarella cheese, basil, cut up figs (peeled, washed in hot water to bring out the sweetness) sprinkle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Leave out to room temp until cheese is 'melted' looking.

Stir-fry veggies and rice with Tofu - I use extra firm, wrap in paper towels to soak up the excess water. Cut in slices, fry in a little olive oil, hot pepper sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with ginger, garlic, curry, whatever you have in the cupboard. Top with sesame seeds. You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard.

Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad.

Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Itailan Sausages cut them up and add it to the sauce. Serve with garlic bread - spread butter on bread, sprinkle with garlic powder and brown in a pan, butter side down.

Clean portobello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad.

MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza - add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions, soy cheese.

Easy Corn Chowder Soup – 1 can each of White Corn, Yellow Corn and Creamed Corn, including the water from the can. Cut up celery add to the pot, add a little rice dream milk.

To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice – Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or tostada – add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avacado to the top.
