Hi! My name is Maddie, I am a 20-something student in the U.S. Growing up I never had any issues with weight, in fact, I was called anorexic because I could eat anything and never gain a pound. Boy have times changed! I am 5 4 and 156 pounds. It's all in the worst places too, my thighs, stomach, and butt. I grew up in a coastal city and ofcourse the beach is filled with beautiful people in tiny bikinis. I am really hoping I can tone up and lose the weight before I visit my hometown in June so I can look good in a bathing suit. I got up today and exercised 30 minutes on the treadmill at the gym of my apt. And I do have access to a few different machines there. My question is, HOW DO I TACKLE THE WEIGHT? How often/how long should I work out and on what machines? What should I be eating, or NOT eating! Any advice would help, and I'd greatly appreciate it.

PLEASE HELP.
