Im looking as well and have had my eye open for over a year. Hopeless and theres not a lot to choose from. Even the websites are pretty crappy for searching. Anyways the best selection ive found in van so far is North Shore Girl.

PS: Girls take full advantage of swim suits when in Australia!

Carrie · #5 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 07

okay . tummy tuck and lipo?

Kandyapple · #6 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 07

Ahhh me too. I live above a gym and for some reason I still haven't gotten there. I need to get rid of that little pudge above my pant line. It's driving me nuts!

I've started walking to work, but I need quick fix tone up tips. :)

I wish I could walk to and from work.

I will go to the gym tomorrow. ( I've been saying that for the last three days)

Courtney · #9 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 07

^ if it helps any, I have been saying it for the past 3 years

Carrie · #10 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 07

yeah, I'm a little more motivated then that, but the last two weeks I've been just extremely lazy.

miss.myra · #11 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 07

If you don't dig cardio or the gym, try yoga!

Also take a serious look at your eating habits, even becoming aware of what bad things you're eating or bad habits (ie eating a lot really close to bedtime) and trying not to do them will be a good step in the right direction.

My other advice is to drink a lot of water, carry a nagelene everywhere! You should also walk absolutely everywhere you can at a really brisk pace (think moderate activity- like walking a km in less than 30 mins)...it's starting to get really nice out so that part should be super easy :)

Carrie · #12 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 07

myra. lets walk!

miss.myra · #13 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 07

I walk almost every day!

I'm working nights for the next two days so I won't be able to, but we'll do the seawall on the weekend

FNK GOT NO LOVE FOR KANYE?!?!?!

cut down on the carbs
bulk up on the leafy greens
opt for salads whenever possible
drink green tea and water like it's going out of style.

TRIM SPA BABY!!

forgot to mention:
RUNNING (I used to hate it but now I'm obessed)

Easiest way to get into it is to aim for a twenty minute jog (nothing crazy)
jog two minutes on , then take it down to a brisk walk for two minutes...the more you do it the longer you'll find you can run for as opposed to walking.

The key is not to stop when you feel like dieing...keeping your heart rate up will keep you burning the calories.

okay!

If you drink, quit for a while!

Alcohol contains a lot of empty calories especially if you drink beer, or super sugary cocktails. Just stick with lemon water if you absolutely need flavour.

.muffy. · #19 (**permalink**) Apr 12, 07

beers the worst!

(that's one I'm trying to work on)

lildonkey · #20 (**permalink**) Apr 12, 07

I've been doing all that for a while now, and it seems to be working quite well. = ) I've also cut down my alcohol consumption.
I walk at least 25 mins almost every day. And am signing up to the 24 hour gym in my area.

Oh yeah, and if you can handle it- the Wild Rose herbal detox is a great way to kickstart your weight loss or new healthy approach. Afterwards you feel lighter and healthier (in my experience anyways).

"quick" and "healthy" generally don't go together...

I say just relax, focus on long-term health and enjoy the sun. Then, by next year summer you're already set for the long-term.
