Any tips for losing a few pounds?

[Lalaxoxo_soso]

I'm 5'0 and about 129 pounds most of the time with some days being higher or lower. I'm reasonably muscular and don't mind sweating to achieve a goal. I would like to float closer to 115 pounds since its a recommended average weight for girls my height and age. I work at night and am still in school so I try to work out twice in the week and once on the weekends. Anything like a good work out to help?

I work out 6 days a week... and have an insane schedule. I get up at 4. You can do it.

You should use a combination of lifting weights and cardio. I would suggest 3 days of each. Lifting weights is not going to make you gain muscle, but it will tone you and burn fat. Cardio is going to also help get junk out of the system, increase stamina, and tone you. Finally you have to watch what you eat. You can't do one without the other.

cut calories.. aka eat less. Its the easiest and most effective method of weight loss. Any other route would require you to do a lot of work for little change.

Eating less sodium would only drain water weight, which would then come right back very easily.

It's amazing how much sugar can do to you. I eliminated sugar in my life due to hypoglycemia, and I lost 15 pounds in a short amount of time. Sugary cereals, sodas, etc.. all of that has a big effect on you! Try that if you feel like you are busy and cannot have a good work out.

walk in the park ~1 hr per day and eat less and healthier.

that's all... i lost 130 pounds that way in the past!

Less sodium = Cutting water retention.
Your body is 83% water by mass.
Less water weight = significant body weight change and less "bloating" and "puffiness"

Eat more fiber (whole grains and beans are the best), eliminate soft-drinks, drink more water, and get plenty of sleep. And, of course, work out.

Eat at a deficit, exercise, and choose unprocessed foods.

Intermittent fasting is a great tool to use.

Stay active, eat right

That's most of it
