I'm currently a size 12 and I just want to get down to a size 10. My one guilty pleasure is... Caffinated, sugary sodas. I've given them up before with NO weight loss. SO, Is the above mentioned enough to shed a few lbs.?

No its not……
You need fresh fruit and veggies……whole grain bread…
NO POP………..Drink nothing but water……….
pop is Awful for you….it ages you gives you wrinkles…..It does nothing for your health……Give it up ; )
Jumping jacks hurts your knees and joints…..
Try walking a mile or so……or even walking on a treadmill..
Start going to a local gym and workout…….
Buy a tiebo tape………
If you wanna lose a few lbs…you need to stick with it…because if you can’t keep your everyday eating under control……..l your just going to gain more weight in the end : )
Good luck……
Just cutting 500 calories a day can lead to 1pound a week of weight loss.I don’t think the trim spa will do anything for you except put chemicals into your body that could actually make loosing weight harder for you.THIS SOUNDS NUTS,BUT just think about it.Try drinking lots of water and eating foods such as fruits,nuts,veggies,and eat at least on to three servings of dairy like low-fat yogurt,a glass of skim-milk.Hope you get to your goal.
Don’t eat or drink anything that has the word "diet" in it. It may be lower in calories, but it wreaks havoc on your body. You’d be better off losing weight the natural way than be artificially thin and unhealthy.
I started walking 2 to 3 miles a day. Altered my diet to avoid MSG, Aspatame and Corn Syrup that are in foods. I dont starve, by no means. I eat alot of veggies with protien (Chicken or Fish) for energy that my body needs. I lost quite a bit of weight over the months. Normal is only 2 lbs per week, so be patient. The best way to loose weight is to read your ingredients on the labels and know what they are and how they hurt you. MSG (aka ‘spices’ and natural flavorings on labels) alone deadens brain receptors so your body will still feel hungry instead of full, making you eat more. Learn more about these killer ingredients, and you will stay fit for the rest of your life. There is alot of information on the web regarding these fat makers.
100 jumping jacks is barely enough to get your heart pumping. Increase your overall cardio, ie…running, walking, biking.
Also increase your proteins and fibers to get your metab accelerated.
Diet and exercise is all that works. And you dont have to join Trimspa to do it. Even if you taking pills or on a quick weight loss diet…you still have to diet and exercise it says. So just skip the stuff thats bad for you. And start a food journal. Write down everything that hits your lips. Count cals or total fat grams. Keep cals between 1300-1600 and grams 20-30. Exercise 30 min. a day. Can be whatever you like..even walking. Walking is really good for you. Recommended by my dr. and I lost 100 lbs. on it. You can expect to lose 2-3 lbs a week.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.
