Maybe trying running or jumping rope would
burn calories faster than walking. Also,
try doing some sort of ab toning to tone
your muscles instead of just making them
leaner.

The key is to really lose the weight
slowly. Please don't try really limited
(crash) diets where early results are
quick (more than 2 pounds a week is too
drastic). Not only is it unhealthy, but
it causes worse skin sagging than you
would get if you dieted more sensibly. Do
lots of ab-targeted exercises like
crunches or working out with an exercise
ball. Glamour.com has a body by glamor
plan online that you can join that will
give you personalized diet and exercise
plans and tips. I would recommend joining
that for more advice, support, and tips...
especially since it's free!
As much as it sucks, it's nearly
impossible to lose weight from problem
areas easily... it's an all-over thing.
Have realistic goals that you can meet
weekly or monthly instead of making one
really dramatic weight loss goal.
Good luck! Try and find someone to go
through it with you, motivation is key for
me!

What is a tummy apron? 285, that is
unhealthy miss lady. Your BMI is way up
there and you are much more susceptible to
obesity related cancers and diseases, you
must work hard to lower it. You shouldn't
be concerned about just losing your tummy
fat, overall exercise and lifestyle
changes are highly recommended. At your
weight, it is probably difficult for you
to do exercises such as running correct?
For now all you can do is do exercises you
enjoy, and are in your reach. If walking
is tiring but you are capable of doing it
for some time, do it.
Additionally, if you really wish for some
help, please feel free to list on here or
PM me your lifestyle and your eating
habits. To have gained that amount of
weight simply isn't a matter of conceiving
a child or lack of exercise, you are most
definitely not eating properly and/or poor
living conditions.
Let me know if there is something I can do
for you. I cannot stress enough however,
how unhealthily you are living, you must
make some changes or risk issues.

Mikolas is right. 285 is very unhealthy
for a young lady, I'm afraid. maybe try
jump roping or running, it burns fat off
faster

285 isn't merely unhealthy for a young
lady, it's unhealthy for anybody unless
they are tall and muscular enough to
match. I don't know if you can do jump
roping or running, do not be concerned
with what the others have said about what
kind of exercises to do. Simply start of
with an exercise that you find tiring but
are still capable of doing and enjoy. That
is your first step.
