Adele is trying to trim her famously robust figure by two dress sizes, reports say.

While the British songstress appeared to have slimmed down considerably following her throat surgery last fall, sources tell The Sun that the singer is on a health kick and is looking to lose even more weight. Not only has the star quit smoking, but she is focusing on working out. Sources claim that the singer has been exercising twice a week with a personal trainer and plans to add to that regimen.

Though Adele looked slimmer than usual at the Grammy Awards, source say she is looking to drop more pounds.

"Adele has found so much more energy now that she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there," says the source. "She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time."

Should the six-time Grammy winner slim down, she will need to be careful about how she presents her weight loss to fans. When she was called "a little too fat" by Karl Lagerfeld in February, the singer shot back, "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that. I don't want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about."

Adele looking to lose weight

Adele reportedly wants to lose weight.

The 'Someone Like You' hitmaker has apparently embarked on a fitness regime in a bid to drop two dress sizes before the summer.

Having shed several pounds after undergoing surgery on her vocal chords last year, Adele has also quit smoking and is said to been keen to continue her good work.

A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Adele has found so much more energy now she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there.

'She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time.'

Last month fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld came under fire after branding Adele a 'little too fat', but the 23-year-old singer insists she would never lose weight for anyone other than herself.

She told People Magazine: 'I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

'I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40lbs lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing , most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say to me, they wouldn't be working with me.'

Adele is apparently hoping to drop two dress sizes, despite previously stating she doesn't want to lose weight.

According to The Sun, the Someone Like You singer has started a new training regime and hopes to shed the pounds before the summer.

It is thought that she has already given up smoking since having throat surgery last year and has been working out twice a week at her home with a personal trainer.

The newspaper also claims that the 23-year old's pal Alan Carr has introduced her to Pilates, with Adele planning on taking her dog running with the comedian.

A source revealed: "Adele has found so much more energy now she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there.

"She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time."

Despite the reports, the Chasing Pavements hitmaker has previously stressed that she has no desire to be skinny, stating in a previous interview: "I've never seen magazine covers or music videos and been like, 'I need to look like that to be a success.' I don't want to be some skinny mini with my t*ts out."

Managing your calorie intake, along with regular exercise, is absolutely necessary for healthy weight loss. And when you combine the two, you can lose weight and keep it off permanently.

But how do you get yourself to consistently cut calories to lose weight while eating healthy?

Here are some proven tips you can put to work immediately to start cutting hundreds of calories a day on a healthy diet and begin losing weight right now. Remember, every calorie counts.

Cutting Calories to Lose Weight

For a start, use smaller plates or bowls for all your meals and measure your portions by the cupful. This simple step will help you cut back on calories and still eat healthy foods.

Also, never ever eat any food straight out of the box, bag or container. Thats the easiest way to go totally unconscious about what youre eating and how many calories youre consuming.

And, if you want to lose weight fast and safe and stay healthy, you definitely need to be conscious of how many calories youre eating and know how many calories to lose weight.

You can also cut hundreds of calories a day by drinking nothing but pure, clean water rather than fruit juice, sweetened iced tea or sodas (whether theyre diet or not). For example, a 12 ounce can of soda has ten or more teaspoons of sugar adding up to 150 calories per can.

And did you know that sugary drinks dont really quench your thirst? Theyre diuretics that cause excess urine elimination, which only makes you thirstier. Sugary drinks also dull your taste buds, which makes you crave more sugary drinks. In other words, sugary drinks are addictive.

So, since sodas contribute to emotional eating and overeating, its best to stick with water.

PARENTS wondering how to help their overweight children to slim down could do well to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Researchers found that obese youngsters were far more successful at shedding the excess pounds if their parents got in shape with them.

"We looked at things such as parenting skills and styles, or changing the home food environment, and how they impacted a child's weight," said study author Dr Kerri N Boutelle at UC San Diego.

"The number one way in which parents can help an obese child lose weight? Lose weight themselves. In this study, it was the most important predictor of child weight loss."

Researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Minnesota looked at 80 parent-child groups with an eight to 12-year-old overweight or obese child. They participated in a parent-only or parent and child treatment program for five months.

The study focused on evaluating the impact of three types of parenting skills taught in family-based behavioral treatment for childhood obesity, and the impact of each on the child's body weight.

These were: Behaviours to help the parents lose weight and act as a role model, changes in the home food environment and parenting techniques (such as the ability to limit the child's intake).

The researchers found it was only when the parents slimmed down that the children consistently did likewise.

They concluded in the journal Obesity that doctors should focus on encouraging parents to lose weight to help their overweight or obese child in weight management.

"Parents are the most significant people in a child's environment, serving as the first and most important teachers," said Dr Boutelle.

Want to help your child lose weight?

Should you subject your body to all the popular extremes you come across?

Today's youngsters like to live dangerously, or "on the edge". It gives them a thrill and the adrenaline rushes that they crave from time to time. Should one, however, take the same stance when it comes to a weight loss regimen? Are dietary 'ups' and 'downs' really good for your health?

Here, we address some of the popular ways people try to lose weight these days.

Skipping meals, starving and fasting

When it comes to losing weight, the first thing that comes to mind is that the less you eat, the more weight you lose. Better still, skip a meal -- and the easiest meal to skip is breakfast, as most of us are hard-up for time in the mornings, right? Well, this approach is completely wrong!

While it does result in some amount of weight loss, it also results in muscle loss and water loss, which could pose big health risks. Apart from this, it sends wrong signals to the system. As a result, skipping meals and fasting will cause the body's metabolism to slow down and it will require lesser calories to survive; in other words, the burning of calories is slower and lower in number. So in the long run, it will defeat the very purpose of your weight loss plans.

DANGEROUS ways to lose weight

The number one way parents can help an obese child lose weight? Lose weight themselves, says a new study.

More than restocking the fridge or parenting styles, researchers from California found that a parent's own weight is the most influential factor and key contributor to the successful weight loss of an obese child.

The study was published online March 14 in the journal Obesity.

"Parents are the most significant people in a child's environment, serving as the first and most important teachers," said study co-author Kerri Boutelle of the University of California, San Diego in a statement. "They play a significant role in any weight-loss program for children, and this study confirms the importance of their example in establishing healthy eating and exercise behaviors for their kids."

For their study, researchers examined the effectiveness of three types of parenting skills among 142 families. Kids ranged between the ages of 8 and 12 and were either overweight or obese.

Their conclusion? Parents serving as role models and shed weight themselves proved to be the most inspiring and motivational method for their own children -- more than making changes to the home food environment or enrolling kids in physical activities, researchers said.

But the latest parent-child obesity study runs counter to another analysis published in 2010 in which researchers concluded that parental influence on their child's eating behavior is limited.

In their meta-analysis of worldwide studies from 1980, US researchers said the family environment only plays a "partial role" and that young people are influenced by a set of broad and complex factors that includes everything from school, peer influence, government policies, food production and advertising.

It's estimated that about 31 percent of American children -- or approximately five million -- are overweight or obese.
