Does anyone have any weight loss tips? -

Hi, I m 5 2 and currently weight around 125 pounds. Does anyone have any suggestions on how many calories i should be eating daily? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how much i should run/ jog a day? Or just any tips at all would help! :)(i m trying to lose weight, and keep it off, so around a pound or two a week)Thank you!

http://caloriecount.about.com can tell you how many calories you should eat in a day and how much you should exercise to meet your weight loss goals.

Step1Don t ever skip breakfast! This should be the largest meal of your day. You should front-load your calories and then taper off the rest of the day, eating less later in the day.Step2Next, eat five to six smaller meals the rest of the day. This will keep your metabolism revved up! and you won t get hungry.Step3Strive to eat more than 25 grams of fiber per day. Fiber rich foods are very important when it comes to weight management. Fiber rich foods make you feel fuller and you will be eating less.Step4Order your pizza with double tomatoe sauce and light cheese. Tomato sauce is high in lycopene which is a strong anti-oxidant and by ordering light cheese you will save about twenty grams of fat per pie, or as much fat as a McDonald s quarter pounder. You wont even miss that extra cheese!

Really there s no secret to losing weight. Find out about how many calories it takes for you to stay at the same weight without exercising, and start eating less calories than that. Then on top of that start exercising and you ll start losing weight like crazy.You can start limiting calories by doing little stuff-stop drinking any soda, or caloric drinks, only water-eat only half as much desert as you got for yourself

Well, some things that you can do are:1. Eat veggies and fruits. Cut down fat foods.2. Eat high-fiber foods.3. NEVER SKIP MEALS!!!4. Do yoga.5. Jog/exerciseThat s what I have for you! Good luck!

The following are 5 unconventional weight loss tips that worked for me.Between January 4, 2007 and March 31, 2007 I lost fifty pounds.These tips work well because almost every tip is focused around completing a small goal.Here are 5 unconventional weight loss tips:Weigh yourself everydayYou��ll find that almost every other dieter will tell you to weigh yourself only once a week. I recommend the exact opposite. I am very goal oriented and I like to see results everyday. The reason I recommend buying a scale that is accurate to the .2 is that there is a very big difference between weighting 170.8 one day and 170.0 the next day. Losing .8 pounds in one day is excellent. However, if your scale is not accurate enough to report the loss and still shows 170 after a day of healthy eating and working out, you will feel extremely discouraged. A more detailed scale makes it easier to keep a positive outlook. The more successes (days with positive weight loss) the easier it is.Drink 8 glasses of water everydayThis one is obvious and broadly recommended, however, the reason I recommend it is slightly different. Drinking eight glasses of water per day helps you ��feel less hungry.�� I can��t prove this scientifically, however, when I am at work, I drink 4 cups in the morning and 4 cups in the evening. On the days that I don��t drink the water, I feel hungrier, earlier. Also, on the days I don��t drink water I feel sleepier, sooner. Don��t feel intimidated by trying to drink 8 glasses of water. Try doing what I do: I have a pint glass I keep at work, it holds sixteen ounces (as all pint glasses do). All I do is drink two pints of water in the morning and two in the afternoon.Make your diet publicTell people you��re on a diet. There��s no reason to be ashamed to be on a diet. I found that trying to keep my diet a secret was harder than just telling people. In fact, telling your coworkers, girlfriend, family, etc. will increase your accountability. It motivated me knowing that my coworkers and family knew that I was dieting because I did not want to fail. I also chose a typical ��fat picture�� and put it on my fridge, in my cubicle, and on my wall. I wanted to have a continual reminder to lose the weight. I know it��s a cliche, but it was important for me to remind myself of my ultimate goal.I feel I should also note that although I was 50 pounds over weight, when I told people I was on a diet they often said ��you don��t need to diet.�� I found this surprising because I was obviously overweight. Beware that you will likely hear similar comments. I found it easier to just accept the ��compliment�� than to try to justify my diet to them. Remember that you are on a diet for you, and that you do not need to justify yourself.Don��t diet on the weekendsThis is another unconventional bit of advice. I was able to lose 50 pounds without dieting on the weekends. I found myself tired, depressed, and unmotivated if I tried to continue my diet into the weekend. I felt that Friday and Saturday (my weekend) was a time to celebrate 5 days of dieting. You may not find this necessary, especially in the first few weeks of a diet. However, as many weeks passed, the weekend became a time for me to celebrate my weekly successes and get myself mentally prepared for another five days of dieting. I considered it a mental recharge.Don��t sacrifice your life for your dietOn occasion, you will find yourself unable to eat healthy. Whether this is because of lunches with your team at work, birthdays, or special occasions, there will be events that you just can��t (or don��t want to) eat healthy. A diet will feel overwhelming if you have to sacrifice special events in your life. The way I combated this was to exchange a day that I was not going to diet on the weekend. In other words, if I didn��t diet on Tuesday, for example, I would diet on Saturday, instead.
