If you've ever tried on your bikini (or mankini) and stepped back from the mirror, shrieking, you'll know the feeling. Where did that come from - all that flabby stuff, those love handles, that spare tyre in development? (although, come to think of it, a spare tyre does sound useful).

You could try reassuring yourself - after all, everyone knows how summer clothing shrinks during its long hibernation in wardrobes during winter. Hmmm. If that doesn't work, read on.

So what's the best way to lose weight in this town?

That's the question we're asking Melburnians to help us with. Do you have a top secret foolproof method that zaps adipose tissue pronto? Maybe permanently?

Here's a brief review of the standard answers to get you started.

Embracing exercise is an obvious means to a new svelte-self. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it often. Here at Weekend Notes, we've reviewed a bunch of ways to exercise in Melbourne. For the diehards, there's the bootcamp option. Or consider joining a gym .There's even a 24 hour gym .

Yoga can burn calories too. And gardening . Or go for a bike ride .

And there's a whole array of walks . Although, be aware there are side-effects of getting around on foot. According to Friedrich Nietzsche , "All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking." You may find you have far more great thoughts.

Hoeing only into healthy foods is another obvious path to take. It's a painful thought, but try cutting down on the desserts, unless they're fruit. (And no, a fruit tart is not fruit. There's 3 million calories - give or take - lurking in that pasty).



There are lots of healthy food ideas here at Weekend Notes. Check out the vegetarian restaurants .

And a seafood restaurant is a good option as long as you avoid rich sauces.

There are plenty of healthy recipes on Weekend Notes as well. Here's two to consider - healthy baked wedges and healthy carrot cake .

If exercise and healthy food seem way too hard, you may be tempted to scrutinise some scary surgery – gastric banding, stomach stapling, gastric bypass or liposuction. But check carefully before you buy, see here and here - there can be serious side effects, for example, death. Maybe a better option is an upgrade to a bigger whichever-kini.

Now it's over to you. If you have an unswerving system to slenderness, please let us know by leaving a comment below.
