I have always been overweight my entire life, although only slightly..until now. I dont know what it feels like to be skinny so Im not sure where I should aim for? help

Don t aim for anything. The reason why is that your problem isn t your weight. Your weight is a symptom of your problem. Even if you set a goal, and make it, the symptom will come back because you haven t dealt with the real problem. It varies from person to person but you either overeat, eat foods that are bad for you on a regular basis, or don t exercise regularly, or all three. Changing those things on a permanent basis should be your goal(s). If you achieve those things, the weight will come off by itself. Your body will settle at a healthy weight for you, whatever that may be.By the way, there is no ideal weight. It s just not a one size fits all kind of thing. Too many people try to aim for this artificial number, rather then simply living healthy.

go to sparkpeople.com it gives you meal plans and exercise prgrams and it s all freeplease try it. it s amazing!

Keep up with your efforts..Good Luck

Plz answer does this program make me lose weight fast1? -

I didn t eat anything for 2 days per week (not consecutive, for example monday and friday) but I took care to drink daily minimum two liters of water. In the other 5 days I ate normally, without restrictions or excesses. I only gave up sweets, and eliminated the quantity of pastries and I had dinner earlier, around six o clock. The mechanism is the following: you lose in the first day of fast one kilogram, in the second only half kilogram and in the next five days of normal alimentation you gain one kilogram. Thus, it result a half kilogram difference. This is the weekly rhythm of the weight loss program which should repeat every time.

Not eating, for any reason, is a bad idea. It slows your metabolism (you won t lose as much weight as you want) and it can leave you feeling absolutely terrible. Dizzy spells and fainting are some of the common after-effects. I advise you SLOWLY cut out sweets and pastries. If your body is used to having a certain amount of something regularly, getting rid of it completely can have horrible results. About a year ago, my friend s mom made her kids stop having ANY sugar. She fainted a few times, went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is the opposite of diabetes; it s dangerous. Her lack of sugar brought on the disease.Eating healthy and having regular exercise is your best bet. It is the surest and safest way to lose weight. Besides, not eating then eating normally, without restraint, will make you drop a lot of weight for one day and then gain it right back the next.

No, you should never resort to fasting to lose weight. That will only lower your BMR (basal metabolic rate) which will make you gain weight and store more fat. All you need to do is eat above your BMR but below your caloric intake level and exercise.Basically eat a variety of foods in moderation.

How many percent of body fat can u lose in a week when on a weight loss program? -

generally speaking? if a person is on a healthy reduced calorie diet and exercise programme (cardio 5x a week and weight training 2x a wk)....is a loss of 0.5% of body fat per week reasonable? i m currently at 28% BF, so i just want an estimate especially on those who have been on weight loss programmes and monitoring their progress with BF%...

It all depends on your body weight. Try one of the calculators at http://www.magnetic-diet.com

I need help ADMEDIENTLY!!!!? -

ok, i need major help and QUICK! so, summer is coming, and i need 2 be as fit as possible! i need 2 lose some weight, and i want a very easy, quick way of losing weight. another problem is that i have noticed that i am eatin 2 much sweets. how am i ganna stop myself from having sweets?? i tried not eating them, and it worked 4 a day, then that was it. so what is a way i wont eat them so much? and whats a way i can lose weight quickly and easily?? thank u sooo much~!!!!

Like what Me said, try to think reasonably-only if you really do have to loose weight. But either way, celery is a good thing to snack on if you want to loose weight but still need a snack- because it s minus calories. Besides for that there s exercise-stomach crunches are pretty good for the stomach area.

Ok well you don t really wanna lose your weight quick because then it would easily come back.My doctor told me that.For the sweets just eat like one a day and soon it will stop going down.For the diet just exercise every day or start off easy and do every other day

Stretch marks? -

Okay, well I am young, 15 years old. I am skinny and eat healthy. 5 5 and 95 poundsThis may sound very skinny to you but i ve alwasy been light.But anyways, I do all this, and yet I am developing stretch marks almost all over my body.I have some big ones on my lower back, lots on my legs and a few on my arms.I am undergoing puberty so I do not know if maybe I am growing too fast or something.And I m not really gaining or losing weight quickly, I remain pretty constant.So could you all please give me some opinions of why you think this might be happening?Also, is there any way to get rid of these?

I experienced stretch marks when I was 14. You could try the following because they were very helpful for me.Excercise. This is important because it tones your muscles helps your skin to firm thus preventing stretch marks. Diet. Eat foods rich in protein and foods rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E, they promote good tissue growth. Examples include citrus fruits, beans, fish. Vegetable oils, nuts, and green leafy vegetables are the main sources of vitamin E. Eat good amounts of seeds and nutsApply cocoa butter and/ or elastin cream though out the body as directed on label. These are very good for stretch marks. 1/2 cup virgin olive oil. 1/4 cup aloe vera gel. liquid from 6 capsules of Vitamin E. liquid from 4 capsules of Vitamin A. Mix all the ingredients together in a blender. After that pour the mixture into a jar and store it in the fridge. Apply the oil externally all over the places where the stretch marks commonly appear ( abdomen, hips, thighs and breasts ). If you do this consistently every day, you may prevent stretch marks. Hope this helps.

Palmer s coco butter is excellent give it a try

There is a lot of stretch mark treatment available on the market these days. Some treatments are more effective in fading or even eliminating stretch marks, but the success of the treatment depends on a few different things. First of all is the color and age of the stretch marks. If they have faded to a flesh color they are much harder to heal. Second of all, ethnicity and heredity play a role in which creams, oils and other products or equipment will succeed in healing stretch marks. The cheapest stretch mark treatment available is creams made especially for stretch marks. The most effective creams contain ingredients such as cocoa butter, lanolin and wheat germ oil. These creams actually heal and rebuild the damaged skin. While they may not be able to completely eliminate stretch marks, they may at least make the stretch marks fade to a barely visible scar. A good recommendation will be Palmer Cocoa Butter Cream.If you are interested in more effective ways of getting rid of stretch marks, you can read abt them from this site: http://stretch-marks.my-fashion-house.co��

Fear not! You can use home remedies, even stuff you have on hand like white vinegar. White vinegar is a natural product plus it is a gently exfoliator - i.e. it removes the top layers of skin, lightening those stretch marks, while restoring the correct PH balance of your skin and making it softer, smoother, and healthier skin.Go get em!!
