Do heavier people lose weight faster than lighter people? -

We re trying to figure out the fairest way to judge our weight loss challenge -- number of pounds lost, or percentage of body weight.

Actually they do. Imagine it this way...130 pounds running... you are carrying 130 as weight....300 pounds running,,, You are carrying 300 pounds...So basically the 130 pound person is carrying an extra 5-10 pounds of weightwhile the 300 pound person is carrying 175 extra pounds.Pure physics And they sweat more so they lose more.If you are racing someone in weightloss it would be the .... Percentage of body weight.

yes

?f you ask the quantity of weigt yeah at first but if when we talk about the proportion of the lost weigth accordin to their bodies nop ? guess

NO! That is a total misconception. Lighter people on average have a faster metabolism and can lose weight faster than their heavier counterparts.

Everybody loses weight differently - weight is not the only determining factor.I think the most fair way is to come to an agreement on what weight both of you are going to try and reach. Have a time frame that is challenging yet safe. If you re 200 and the other is 500., say the one will try to reach 160 and the other will try and reach 420. Pick attainable goals.. realistic ones.The challenge is not how much weight.. but should be watching what you eat (not more than 1/3 fat content.. some sorts of percentage figures.. not grams etc. . since the one person probably eats more than the other.. you couldn t say no more than 30 grams of something for both of you.)Also include the hours you will spend at the gym or other. If either of you cheat you re disqualified. Also include how much each of you will take in in calories. Keep record of EVERYTHING you eat.. and don t lie to yourself or your partner.If both of you have not cheated in the time frame alloted.. two or three months, go out to dinner at a healthy restaurant. If one person met the goal and the other didn t, the person that didn t has to buy ! It s also good to set mid-way goals.

Yes, because when a heavy person starts a diet, they lose a lotta weight because at the beginning they get rid of a lotta liquid they have in their body. That s why they look thinner faster than a lighter person.

Yes. Heavier people will lose weight faster than lighter people because they have more to lose. The fairest way to determine the contestant winner is by % of weight lost.

Yes, you tend to lose more if you weigh more, but that is just in the beginning. The fairest way to do it is percentage of body weight.

yeah

Yes, heavier people will lose weight faster because they have more to lose and the first 10 lbs. or so will be water, making their weight loss that much more.Have a lovely rest of the day.

Heavier people only lose weight faster because they have more to lose. Like if you are 10 lbs overweight you will lose it slower because you are closer to your ideal weight than a person who is, say, 200 lbs over their ideal weight.

they lose water weight, not fat at first thats why it seems like they lose so much

How can i lose weight fast? -

im 15 years old (male) im 5 foot 4 inches tall. im 210 pounds and i realy want to loose wight. i signed up in a gym and i need to know exactly what to do. and will i grow taller if i loose wight?

If you want it fast then try to combine methods to lose weight. Exercise daily and eat only healthy foods and low fat meals plus take some diet pills to achieve maximum results.Here s a good site for youhttp://www.dietpills.pro

Food: six meals a day, starting with a big breakfast and scaling down as the day goes, a meal every two to three hours.Exercise. Stick to the gym routine, also get up thirty minutes earlier and walk thirty minutes before breakfast and also twenty minutes of walking before lunch. Plenty of sex helps too, that might come more after some weight loss:)Good luck

If you have a banister rail or a balustrade that will support you, sit on it and pump your legs as if you are riding a bicycle, taking care not to fall off of course. This might sound like another crazy idea and I don��t want to argue with you about that. I just want to tell you that by doing such crazy things, you are in fact not missing a single chance to lose those extra pounds. It is a way of keeping your mind alert all the time. Every thing must look like an opportunity to you.

Do not be a couch potato. It is the easiest thing in the world to become a couch potato. You know what we are talking about don��t you�� That shapeless thing that sits or reclines on a shapeless chair in front of the television and stupidly munches away at something fried! If you are inclined to become a promising old couch potato, break the habit, cut at the very root of the vine. And you want to know what the best way is for that�� Take away that favorite chair of yours. In fact, it would be a very good idea if you could keep a chair that isn��t too comfortable in front of the TV. This will discourage any tendency to become a couch potato.

Stop using remote controls. Remote controls are the bane of a prospective weight loser. They may be remarkable gadgets by themselves but from the weight loss point of view, they just aren��t very helpful. They really encourage us to take a laid back kind of attitude towards life itself. In fact if remote controls were not there, the television would not have become so popular. It is because of remote controls that people can remain where they are and switch from one channel to the other. And they only have to twitch a finger muscle to achieve this. Now, I have nothing against multi channel television sets but what I strongly advocate is that you get up from where you are and change the channel of the TV each time you want to do so. The same thing holds true for other remote controls as well. As it is we have remote controlled TVs, DVD players, A/Cs, garage doors, gateways and what not. The next thing we know is that we will have remote controlled people as well.

In order to lose weight you need to consume fewer calories than you burn. Good job on the exercise. I m afraid losing weight won t make you row taller, however, you are only 15 and are most likely still growing. this works to your benefit though. Keep up the exercise and remember to cut back on calories.

If you have a sitting job, stand up and stretch yourself every half an hour. Most of the jobs today are indeed sitting jobs that are in one word sedentary. This is especially true for those who sit and punch away at the keyboard or toy with the mouse all day long. So if you have such a job, make it a point to get up at least every half an hour and stretch your self.

Whenever you can, lean against a wall with your hands flattened against the wall and in such a way that your face is very close to the wall. Then use you hands to push your body away from the wall. Do these two or three times at a stretch.

Chop off your legs.Hey presto half your body weight gone in under 10 mins!
