lose weight Options

[rocky2006]

since theres always someone on this site who is an expert on any given area, can any of you help me? im kinda overweight but not too bad, and i just want to know a good excercise that i can do after school to help me lose weight. i want to have as much fat as possible gone by march 18 (spring break). im 5'10" and weigh ~173 lbs. i have a decent amount of lean mass cause i was in weight training the first semester in school and i got my bench up to ~215, while working out the rest of the body. just trying to be as specific as possible cause i really want to get rid of some weight. im already trying to watch what i eat, but it seems to have brought me nowhere. some calc said i should keep my heart rate at around 140 for fat-burning. how much are the things that measure your heart rate? i dont want to have to stop and count during an excercise to find out my heart rate. what the hell do i do for quick, dramatic results?

Drink ice water

So in the case of a 16-ounce glass of ice water,
your body must raise the temperature of 473.18
grams of water from zero to 37 degrees C. In doing
so, your body burns 17,508 calories. But that's calories
with a little "c." Your body only burns 17.5 Calories,
and in the grand scheme of a 2,000-Calorie diet, that 17.5 isn't very significant.

But let's say you adhere to the "eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day" nutritional recommendation.
In 64 ounces of water, there are 1,892.72 grams.
So to warm up all that water in the course of a day,
your body burns 70,030 calories, or 70 Calories. And over time,
that 70 Calories a day adds up
