Diet and Natural Weightloss

Im 5′5 and 150 lbs. I would love to lose 20 lbs, I dont want to be really skinny that my body looks mis shapen, i was born with natural big calfs and thighs because my parents both have it. The only thing is, im really impatient when it comes to dieting, i like to see results right away. I have been going to the gym once a day running on the eliptical on the weightloss program for 35 minutes, and i do weights every other day just to tone my arms. I guess i would just like more tips so i can shed those 20 lbs really fast. Is the excercise im doing enough to tone my stomach? What should i eat?

I am 17 years old and I’m trying to lose weight and do not have the time or the resources to lose weight (i.e lack of family support, etc.). I know a classmate who used to be chubby and she came back to school after a summer and she looked like she had never been overweight. Honestly, she was very pretty slim and NOT stick thin either. She looked extremely happy and healthy. I know for sure that she didn’t lose all that weight (its a LOT of weight) the natural way by excersice and dieting.
So please reccomend some that ACTALLY WORK…..I would really appreciate it and it would do great for my stressful lifestyle. Any suggestions and help would be appreciated!!!!!! Thanks in advance!!!
