Healthy Time Period to Lose Weight? -

I wanted to lose about 2 or 3 kg and was wondering whether dropping 1kg a week is a healthy weight loss scheme. Also, if it is, is a 1/2 run going to help me do this?Thanks. ^^

If you only need to lose a small amount of weight, it will come off more slowly than somebody that needs to lose more. 1kg/week is more than you will probably be able to do without some very serious exercise and dieting. 1/2 kg per week is more likely for somebody in your situation.

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurities come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast. If you want to learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. This was the first time I ever did a cleanse, it was easy and I feel better. Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://diet4cleansing.com

To successfully lose weight, you must carry outa plan to balance your caloric intake with exercise.Ideally, dieting should be done by eating a nutritionallybalanced, low-calorie diet and increasing physical activity. I found useful informations at http://imfit4life.com

the most the body can lose is 2lbs (about 1kg) per week. so yeah that s within what the body can do.to lose one pound you need to drop your daily calorie intake by 500. to lose 2lbs double it.however keep in mind there is a limit to how much you can drop, and if your daily requirements are already quite low (ie less than 2k) you should only aim for the 500g per week loss.

1 kg per week should be fine for most people.I know of some people who have comfortably lost 29 pounds in 31 days with a diet that I promote.

Healthy weight Loss? -

Hi all, I have approx 5 stone to lose, and am currently on a healthy eating plan, my problem is excercise, I walk about 1/2 an hour a day and most days trampoline for about 10 mins, i also play football with my 5 year old twins at least twice a week, is this enough excercise as a start, this week I lost 2lb, I don t want to lose weight too quickly as I want to stay healthy. I would love to go swimming as I know that is a good toning exercise but at the moment am too embaressed. Do I need to do more or just build up as i lose weight.ThanksSam x

Exercise is always good for you ... your body will know if its too much. Try this website out for more information on avoiding exercises injuries. Pretty good information. You can also get great tips on healty food recipies etc from this site http://artcademy.bacarra.biz/How%20to%20��Have fun

I think you re doing great for a start. Build up as you go. You can also invest in a couple of hand weights for at home and do a little weight training. At the very least, it ll tone up your arms.

if you really want to lose your weight don t worry.exercise daily with some hard workouts,drink fresh jucies.if you want more details visit the below website.

Try this exercise routine to get where you need to be: Start your fitness plan with a good warm up. A warm up will increase your core body temperature and get you to break a sweat. After you are warmed up you can continue your cardio workout or you can begin your resistance fitness plan. Make sure you have a padded bench of some kind to use for the sitting and lying exercises.First, you will focus on the large muscle groups then progress to smaller ones. This fitness plan will involve a combination of exercises using dumbbells or your own body weight. Here is an example of a good fitness plan.SQUATS 3 sets/25 repsStart with legs wider than hip width, toes slightly turned out. Squat down until your upper legs are parallel to the floor. Keep you back as upright as possible with abdominals engaged.LUNGES 3sets/15 repsStart with a long stride keeping the front knee directly over the ankle when at the bottom of the lunge position. Make sure to pull up with the front leg without any push off of from the back foot. Perform the lunges in a walking manner.MODIFIED/FULL PUSH UPS 3sets/10-15 repsBegin with a version of the push up that is appropriate to your strength level. You want a diagonal line from shoulders to knees or shoulders to feet (depending on which form of push up you do). Only attempt the number of reps that you can complete with perfect form.DUMBELL PULLOVER 3 sets/10-15 repsLie on your back. Hold the dumbbell with your hands overlapped and facing the ceiling. Keep your arms straight and take the weight overhead and return it back over your chest.ONE ARM ROW 3 sets/10 repsStabilize your knee and one hand on the bench with the working arm hanging straight down. Pull the weight up in a rowing motion toward the side of the body.LATERAL RAISE 3 sets/10 repsWith weights in hands and arms at the sides, raise your arms out to the sides up to shoulder height and back down. Be careful not to shrug the shoulders.BICEP CURLS 3 sets/10 repsWith arms at sides palms facing up, flex elbow joint to bring weight up toward shoulders and return to full extension to complete each rep.TRICEP DIPS 3 sets/10 repsStart sitting on a bench perpendicular to it with hands on the edge of the bench.Straighten arms and bring hips just off the bench and bend the elbows to lower body down. Straighten your arms to bring body back to the start position. This can be done with bent knees to modify the movement.ABDOMINAL CRUNCHES 5 sets/20 repsThere are many variations of the crunch and you can change up the positions frequently. A basic version is lying on your with back legs bent, feet on the floor, and your arms reaching at your sides. Flex the spine to crunch up and keep your chin tucked in toward your chest with about a golf ball size space between chin and chest. Keep your eyes focused on the top of your thighs. Crunch up keeping the lower back in contact with the floor and always keep the abdominals engaged to protect the back and neck.This is a basic fitness plan that can be done in the gym or at home. You should start with light weights and slowly increase the resistance after you have completed the fitness plan several times without developing muscle soreness. In order to make it more challenging after several workouts you can either pick up the pace between exercises, add reps or increase the weight. Never make all three modifications in the same workout. This fitness plan can be done 3 to 4 times per week always leaving at least 48 hours for proper muscle recovery. By adding additional cardiovascular exercise you will be getting in a very well rounded workout. http://www.fitnessdiet.info/fitnessplan.��

Aerobic and weight training will raise your metabolic rate. In result, your body will burn more calories.

Hi Sam,Well done you are doing really well. I am a weight loss coach and I would love to hear what you are doing at the moment. I do programmes for people to help them lose weight according to their lifestyles as well. We are all individuals so should be treated as such.One of my ladies needs to lose 5 stones. She started on my plan and has lost 3 inches off her waist in just a week and feels great. I follow up every week to help motivate them too.(all free consultations) They never feel hungry, tired or lose energy.If you have a look at my profile and visit my website you can find out what your body fat reading is and lots of other info too.With regards to exercise, swimming is fantastic for toning up.With my plan also you lose weight and it stays off because you are educated about your body. That s the most important thing when you are trying to lose weight. Its all to do with balanced healthy nutrition.Keep up the good work.

Let me give you some bodily facts:Clearly 5 stone is a lot of body fat. You are most likely overweight (I am not trying to offend, just stating fact).Your weight, coupled with the fact that up until now you have probably done very little physical exercise will shock your body into shedding pounds of fat pretty quickly. Do not worry, this is a good thing and is a natural process of an overwieght body.Expect to lose quite a bit of body fat quite quickly but I would suggest you:Stick to your healthy eating plan like a trooper. Do NOT diet, they do not work. Do not starve yourself, it is dangerous and screws your metabolism.Up your physical activity. Why not go for an hours brisk walk?As soon as more lard starts dropping off, up the ante with the exercise. Start jogging for half an hour, slowly building up to an hours jog.The more fat you lose, the slower it will take to burn it off. Healthy weight loss is around 1-2lbs per week. Burning off that last stone will probably be difficult, but keep at it and it will eventually go.You are porbably looking at 14-20 months before all of the fat is safely burnt off.Keep at it - you are already half way their because unlike 99% of other women out there, you have realised to lose weight you need a healthy eating plan combined with exercise.Most overweight women seem to think some fad diet is all they need - despite scientists knowing that diets do not work!

get yourself a bicycle just get out cycle whenever you can. it s a great exercise to be done with the twins as well. I ve lost 7lb s in the past 2 months just by cycling 10 every day I haven t even cut my food intake down yet.

You need to try supplement your diet with something that is going to clean out your system at the same time that you are doing the excercise.I reccomend two options the first is something pretty drastic and that is Wheat Grass. Taking Wheat Grass will really flush out the system, it makes me go very soon after I drink the juice.The other option would be something called Prosit, it is made it South Africa and is something you should take every day. It is not easy to come by, try searching for African cures and Prosit together. Prosit also makes you feel healthier and younger.Good luck in your quest.

I want to loose weight before freshman year? -

i am 13 years old, i will be 14 jul.25th. i weigh about 145 and i am 5 4 . i really want to look *decent* for 9th grade. is there anything i can do, that arent like go on jenny craig or weight loss programs cause my mom thinks im too young for that. i knw i have to exercise and eat right, but what can i do?

Drop out meat for as long as you can take it.Same with milk, don t even eat the low fat dairy options... change it for Soy products, and instead of meat, try Garden Burgers, Tofu, Beans and brown rice or just plane veggies!Believe it or not dairy, meat and eggs are actually bad for you, and when you eat these, they stay in your system and make you fat.Vegetables have a large amount of fiber in them, which equals more weight loss.Other things you can do are drink LOTS of water, like when you re thirsty, don t grab a diet coke. The aspartame in them actually stores fat in your body, just stay with water or 100% juice or soy milk. Hope this helped a little. It s worked for me.. I ve lost 26 pounds over the last year.

I am 14, and I am going to be a freshman next year too. I wouldn t do the Jenny Craig diet. It overcharges people and it takes a long time. Instead of stressing out over your weight over the summer, I would just stop thinking about it. You may think that obsessing over your body will motivate you to lose weight, but when you think like that, your mind tends to direct yourself toward negative thoughts, such as, I m so fat , or All my friends are skinnier than me. Enjoy your summer and do what you love to do, such as swimming, biking, or jogging. Try to get outdoors more with your friends, or if you aren t much of the great outdoors type, try walking a few laps around the mall, but avoid the fast food. Try to drink more water instead of fruit juices or sodas, and get a healthy and plentiful amount of sleep per day. Don t freak out about your body image during the summer. Summer s a time to kick back and relax. I can understand how we can all obsess about our bodies, from zits and pimples to obesity. However, if your forget and maintain a healthy and relaxing lifestyle, the weight will come off a whole lot easier than staying at home, eating the pricey Jenny Craig diet food.~Good luck! I hope I helped. Here comes high school! :)

No no,dnt do that jenny craig stuff! i d say dancing A LOT help you lose tons and tons of weight! it helps meee! also add some crunches/sit-ups,and back bends AKA bridges.those help.

looks like you have lost a great deal in a short period of time BUT it looks like you ve lost some of the muscle that you had, when you diet fast, you MUST consume ALOT of protein in order to stop muscle wastage.
