Weight loss tips please.? -

i want to lose 25 pounds by sep.29th.can i do it?what are some tips?please help.

Yes, it s possible to lose weight in a short period of time, but you have to eat to lose weight or your body holds onto all its fat because it thinks you are starving it. ?Here s something to follow that keeps you eating healthy while dropping unnecessary fat. There is a formula to follow for how much water to drink for your current weight: ? Your Weight Times (.5) Equals Divided By 8oz (or 1 Cup) Equals # Cups of Water/Day?100lbs x .5 = 50/8 =6 Cups of Water/day ?120lbs x .5 = 60/8 = 7 Cups of Water/day ?135lbs x .5 = 67.5/8 = 8 Cups of Water/day?150lbs x .5 = 75/8 = 9 Cups of Water/day?175lbs x .5 = /8 = 11 Cups of Water/day ?200lbs x .5 = 100/8 = 12.5 Cups Water/dayLet s start with the easiest of substitutions where people will probably not notice: ? Week 1. Stop all soda pop, juice, etc. No slurpees, milkshakes, floats ~ only drink water or crystal lite~ Walk once around the block or swim one lap each day to raise metabolism (5 days unless you enjoy 7 days) If your block is more than a mile long then only walk half or substitute with another activity equivalent.? Week 2. Stop all breads, buns, cakes, muffins, etc. {No chips, nachos, cookies, cheezies, snack chips of any sort}~ limit yourself to only one piece of a bun or one piece of bread, French toast, plate size pancakes, etc.~Walk twice around the block or swim two laps each day to raise metabolism (5 days unless you enjoy 7 days) ? Week 3. Eat 6 mini meals a day. ~Maintain at least 45 minutes of cardio if your weight is higher (150lbs+), you will require longer bouts of cardio ? That s for starters. I also want you to try your hardest to eat a special type of yogurt which is more appealing than others, but if you already like a yogurt than use that one. I use Activa Strawberry, but if you prefer another or if you like the SOY yogurt (that would be best) ? Is there any way that you could meet with a nutritionist either the gym? They can help you set up a menu for the week, but I ll give you a link for a chart website so you can find the charts you want to use and print them off. Also, if your healthy, then the trainer can set you up on a program to keep your metabolism moving, tone up arms/legs, introduce you to a new environment. ? I find the best way to monitor your daily needs is to follow the breakfast snack lunch snack dinner no snack. (7:30am-9:30am-11:30am-1:30pm-3:30pm-5:3�� ? It ll seem like you are eating more than other people, but the great thing if it s all healthy, your metabolism will burn it all off because it s spaced out. People don t understand that more food at little bits will cause you to lose weight if you have fat reserves or gain some weight back to your body s normal size. ? I started out getting a tub (approximately 2 cup) of Activa yogurt (you pick flavour). I bought Ziploc the smallest cup; it only holds approximately 3 Tablespoons or half a cup...it doesn t quite measure out because of scraping little bits here and there don t always fit nicely in the cup, so I usually eat what s leftover because it won t fill a cup. ?It was easy to eat it 3-4 a day of yogurt to maintain a portion of my protein intake. It s also the most tolerable. I have it at every meal and it s the perfect substitute for craving ice cream because it has a function in the body it doesn t put on weight and regulates your bowel to act on its own rather than depending on a laxative. ? So, I know I have a portion of protein and calcium coming in. You have to trick your mind to get away from thinking about size. It s not the same as eating a tub of yogurt in one sitting because the body has to try and digest 2 cups of yogurt, however, a little bit throughout the day balance out its use and uses it up. ? SAMPLE BREAKFAST: TOASTED BAGEL, 1 FRIED EGG, 1 PIECE HAM, 1/3 CUP CHEESE, 8oz ORANGE JUICE ? SAMPLE SNACKS: YOGURT, 20 GRAPES, ? CUP CARROTS, OR CELERY W/CHEESE WHIZ, 10 ALMONDS ? SAMPLE LUNCH: PORTION SIZED CHILI, RAW VEGETABLE, FRUIT CUP, YOGURT, DINNER ROLL ? SAMPLE DINNER: PORTION SIZED ROAST BEEF 1-2 SLICES, ? CUP POTATO, ? CUP CORN, COOKED OR RAW VEGETABLE ? You need to play with your food, water, and snacks to fit it into your schedule. Some snacks may overlap with lunch or you��ll find yourself eating on the move. Try not to skip it, because your body is depending on it. Try not to eat after 6pm or if you must eat, try yogurt or grilled chicken fillets (slices). I always keep grilled chicken in the fridge and grab as needed. (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Chicken Breast Fillets or Sliced Grilled in Oven at 350�� for approximately 45 minutes.)***STAY AWAY FROM ICE CREAM COOKIE DOUGH***http://www.chartjungle.com/weight-loss.h��http://www.chartjungle.com/ http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/hydra��http://www.activia.com/

25 pounds is easy to lose if you are really big. If you are small, it might take longer than 2 months. My tip is don t try to starve yourself or you will gain the weight back as soon as you start eating normally again, plus you will have less muscle and look even more flabby than when you started. You need to eat at least 1200 calories, and exercise as much as possible. If you can find an activity you like that burns a lot of calories, you will have a much better chance at success.

You can do anything if you set your mind to it.Losing weight is one of the easiest things to do. Just eat less! Count your calories and use a calorie calculator online to see how much you need to eat a day in order to lose that much weight in the next 2 months. Exercising helps but it doesn t burn as many calories as you d like. That means after a workout session, all you should have is water. Don t indulge in snacks just because you exercised for 30 minutes.Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Get more sleep because when you are sleeping, you won t be eating! On that note, 25 lbs is a lot to lose. You really need to be dedicated to this. I assure you that you could lose 11kg easily in less than a month of travelling. So do what you would do when you re travelling and get only 3 meals a day.Good luck

eat lesser portions of your food eating more healthy, especially lots of vegetables and fruitsoviously do not eat lots of junk food drinking lots of water and juiceexcercise more - cardio, walk, runi think if you just make your life more balance you will loose weight. What I mean is, make sure you eat right and excerice at the same time...always make time for these two in your lifestyle..

Try doing portion control when you eat,and excerise.,,and eat healthy food. I have lost 27 pounds in three months doing it this wayI tried to lose two to three pounds a week.

eat 5 small meals a day of 200-300 cal increase your cardio and lift weights
