There are all sorts of weight loss methods available! Here are a few alternative methods to see if they might be suitable for you if you're struggling with your current weight loss situation.

Secret tip: Wrap your body in plastic wrap and jump rope 500 times; you'll lose 1 pound per jump.

Results: Lost 4 pounds in 5 days

My classmates have all become more beautiful and fashionable after university, but I'm still struggling with obesity! So I started looking for weight loss methods online, in magazines, and on TV. I found many options: one is dieting, but I can't stand the hunger and it makes me sick, so I gave up! The second is dieting, which involves controlling appetite and suppressing absorption, but this damages the body, leads to breast reduction, and then rebounds, so I gave up! The third option is exercise, which requires daily consistency and a certain amount of exercise to be effective.

Finally, I learned a weight loss secret from a friend who studies dance—wrap your whole body in plastic wrap and jump rope 500 times! Don't be intimidated by 500, it'll be over in no time, and you'll sweat a lot. The effect is excellent. I've done it 5 times now, and I'm basically losing 1 pound per jump. I've lost 4 pounds so far, and I'll keep going!

Secret tip: Entrust your money to a friend; what can you eat if you have no money?

Eat less and exercise more—it's an eternal truth! Easier said than done, especially sticking to it… So my most "addictive" secret is to give all my living expenses to my friends! Hmph! Let's see what you can eat without money!

I live alone in a rented room. At night, when I get hungry, I go out and buy a lot of food. Actually, I don't have a good appetite during the day, but at night I just want to eat a lot. Now I give all my money to my friend, stipulating that she can only give me a maximum of 5 yuan a day, or even none at all. (Because I usually use a meal card to eat at school, I don't ask her for any money when I get home at night.) This is how I got through the initial period of eating very little; otherwise, based on my past dieting experiences, I definitely wouldn't have been able to stick to it.

When it comes to losing weight, never make excuses for giving up. If I hadn't kept making excuses for myself, I probably would have lost weight already. Also, don't keep asking the people around you if you've lost weight; let them ask you that willingly.
