Exercise and diet tips to shrink hips/waist and thicken neck?
I am 5'2" and 175 and trying to join the Army (my husband is already in). I've had a thyroid problem that has now been resolved but kept me from losing weight. I just started my Slim-Fast diet on 5/21. Currently take in no soda, have two Slim-Fast one for lunch and one for dinner. Two fruit or veggie snacks. Turkey or Chicken for dinner protein and a HUGE salad with limited Fat Free dressing. I need to lose at least 20 lbs. ASAP and any additional diet tips and exercises that will take inches of my waist and hips or thicken my neck would be helpful. Also walking/jogging 4.5 miles a day. I need to lose this weight so I can sign up for the Army!!!!

- It sounds like you are on the right track. I'm sure you already know this, but kick up your water intake, and snack a lot through out the day on healthy stuff too. It will help boost your metabolism and energy. And don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't move right away. You will start loosing fat and gaining muscle, so while you are loosing inches, the scale may not budge. If I remember correctly, they are going to tape you. They will plug your waist and neck measurements into a formula and see if you are under the limit. The Army will still be there and hiring if it takes you a little while. So be patient and loose it at a comfortable pace for you so you can keep it off. Good Luck from another military member!
