How much could I safely lose? -

So I m a little over 5 8 and I weigh 150. My ultimate goal is to get down to 135-140. Prom is coming up and I m working out a little bit more but I want to know how much I could safely lose in the next month and some helpful weight loss tips would be great too =]thanks! =D

I have a set of exercises that work real well. Just ask and I ll relay them..Oh Wait I already did. LOL

In one month maybe 12-15lbs, exercise is great but remember it will add muscle which will make it harder to actually loose weight but it is the best way to go. My tried and true diet is smaller portions 9 do not starve yourself and a good brisk walk of at least 30 minutes each day . You will see the pounds come off. ( Also stay away from junk during this time for sure )

2-3 lbs a week is safe. a great exercise for thighs is lunges. you can even add hand weights for quicker results (not too heavy, 10lb weights at most), also walking or running on an incline will help tone them up. for your abs... try putting a weight (once again, not too heavy) on your chest when you do crunches... it works!!

i think 20. atleast.

Safely, 1-3lbs per week.How: Drink lots of water. Eat every few hours...a meal only as big as your hand. These are tips you can carry out forever...not just when you re dieting. Workouts: Jogging will help cut the fat as well as tone. When you jog, try to keep your abs tight...that ll work wonders. Go buy a set of weights...10-15lbs. Do squats at home...or even if you could get to your school weight room that d be better. Do lunges. Those will make your thighs buuuurn. You ll probably be sore the next day. Also, don t do weights every single day. Let your muscles rest. Crunches are okay to do everyday. Crunches. Put your back flat against the ground. Raise your legs so it s like you re sitting in a chair (although you re on your back). Hold them up at 45 degrees, don t let them hang. Put your hands just behind your ears. Use your core muscles - not your neck. Bring your knees toward your elbows. Concentrate on pushing your bellybutton toward your knees. That is how to do an effective crunch.Oh yeah - have fun at prom!!!

people will say, ooohhh, you don t need to lose weight, you re perfect/lucky/special/whatever. If you sit down and can t see the top of your pants, you re out of shape. nothing against you! if you feel that you are REASONABLY not in peak physical condition, then excersize, quit drinking soda/vitamin water/juice and eat healthy foods. DO NOT starve yourself! I think ten lbs in a month is healthy, un-obsessive, and if you re doing it through good eating habits, keeping yourself hydrated, and aerobic excersize, you will be fine. oh, and do silly-looking things like dancing while brushing your teeth, you can *without being noticed* squeeze your tummy muscles while sitting at your desk, and your butt also. it all helps, and no matter how little it seems, you ll feel it the next day. GOOD EXCERSIZE lie on your back with your hands behind your head, cross your legs and lift them up halfway, like you re pointing your toes at the corner of the ceiling, hold for a second, and then bring them down. Do ten reps with each leg on top of the other. You won t believe how easy it is on your lower back compared to sit-ups, and it also tones your chest and the back of your thighs and inner thighs so you won t get saggy boobs or cellulite lol! Believe me, I m 5 1 and was 148 after I had my daughter, and got down to 114 in two and a half months without going hungry or counting calories.

Well I am assuming since you are going to a prom, that you are still a teenager.For teenagers, who are still developing, it is unhealthy to want to lose more than 2 lbs a week. So probably 8-10 lbs would be pretty healthy.As for the exercises, I would recommend doing lots of cardio, in forms of running, walking, swimming, playing sports, doing something to get your heart rate going.Do weight training, for arms, I would recommend doing triceps, biceps, and shoulders.For your legs, to really tone your thighs I would suggest doing heel raises (stand on your feet, and just raise your body, probably around 2 sets of 100, every other day), plies (point feet out a little and do like a squat straight down, 2 sets of 50), wall sits (works quads, find a wall and sit down straight up on it like you are sitting on a chair, 3 sets of a minute daily). Also it would be a good idea to incorporate some ab workouts into this, crunches, situps etc.Good luck. Hopefully everything works out for you.

1. Drink plenty of water2. Eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables3. Eat high protien foods4. Make sure you eat breakfast5. Do cardio and resistence training 3 times per week6. Follow a weight loss program and diet plan to lose weight. I use one by Australian Lifestyle Fitness http://www.alfitness.com.au

Yeah prom s coming up for me as well. I m a little stump and I m 5,3 and 130.I m not sure about a safe way of getting to that goal in a month all i can say is exercise your *** off. Have you ever seen that show the biggest loser? Well just in case you haven t its this show basically about a bunch of overweight people trying to lose the most weight by the end of the week. You see those people eating right and literally working there asses off. like nothing else matters but working out and some of them only lose about a pound a week. And if you ever see those commercials like Jenny Craig losing weight commercials they lose like 20 pounds in 3-4 months and its crazy. It feels like your working out so much and you think your losing so much weight and you feel good but the numbers don t shed that fast.Anyways. I would suggest eating really good. They say if you cut Pop/Soda out of your died for a year you can lose up to 15 pounds just by that. which is good. but a year is a long time. Eat your veggies and go for jogs. People say burn as many calories as you eat so if you go to a gym they say the amount of calories your using. Oh yeah, also drink a ton of water at LEAST 8 glasses A DAY. ridiculous i found but apparently it works.Hope I helped. Have fun burning those calories.and of course i hope you look amazing at prom!

about 7 pounds dont lose more than that in a month. keep working out =]

Heres some things:5 - 6 small meals a day. This boosts your metabolism because your body thinks your giving it more and more food. The less food you eat the less your going to lose meaning if you only ate one meal a day your body thinks your not going to feed it for a while so it stores that fat. Saving calories for later does not work. Trust me. If you don t get the 5 - 6 meals a day diet it means that you split your meals in half. And should aim to about 300 calories per meal.Another one you can try it workout videos. There really good. The cheapest one thats really good is turbo jam. It builds muscle. If you are only looking to lose weight, use hip hop abs.Tell me how it goes. Sincerly. steven h
