run an ad in your local paper. you should be able to find one that way or maybe call local gyms and ask them if they know of any walking groups. i hope this helps :)

How do I get a female walking companion in the Portadown area? -
Can someone suggest ....? -
Try the special K diet. You might do better than I did but it works! I lost 5 lbs in a month.
first let me say i am 16 yrs old..so my losses may be way different from others......well this worked for me. at the end of december i was weighing 270 pounds. then i joined a gym(which probably woudn t fit your schedule, but u can still run) and i ran 1-2 miles about 5-6 times a week. i only drank about one soda a day ,if that, but mostly water. i cut my portions in about half of what they used to be. and here is in my opinion the most important step....i didnt eat 4 hours before i went to sleep. so on school nights i wouldn t consume calories after 7. after dieting and excercising i lost 55 pounds in about 5 1/2 months(but i could have lost more,laziness :),) i see your not shooting for this kind of amount but i averaged about 10 lbs a month....so remember to stay hydrated and get a multi-vitamin because when your not getting energy from food you ll tend to feel weak and tired alot......good luck..!
What kind of diet did work best for you aside from exercising? -
My husband and I both started Nutrisystem almost 4 months ago. I have lost over 30 pounds, my husband has lost almost 30 pounds. They have a huge variety of food, and there is allot to love, and quite a few to dislike. Everything is done online so it s really easy to pick out your menu and the cost is the same as what I spent at the grocery store anyway. It has been completely painless, I love almost all their deserts and always look forward to those! I have not excercised at all, and my husband works and plays golf and that s been his excercise. It is the easiest way I could ever imagine to lose weight. There are no membership fees, which is a big plus. I have been very impressed with their whole program. I never get hungry and I feel so much better and more energetic getting reid of that excess weight. It s definitly worth it. It also teaches you portion control and meal balancing, something I wasn t very good at I guess. Go to www.nutrisystem.com if you would like to take a look at what they offer.
I am still looking :)
Just eat less... Eat about a half of your regular meal. If you get hungry, eat an apple. It worked for me! I lost 25 pounds.
To achieve anything good the first thing is mind-set and seems like you already have that. Good thing buddy.There are some precautions that you should take while opting for any Weight Loss Program....Do not go for any quick weight loss crap ... It takes time.Do not go for any medicines which can have harmful side effects.Morning walk is recommended, if possible, do some jogging in morning or evening hours.Take a lot of salads, green vegetables.Avoid meat and fast food stuff, special fried stuff.It took me 8 months to loose noticeable weight and now I m pretty happy with what I have left on my bones lol. I tried a lot of weight loss programs and the only one that helped me to get good results is http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-2553081-1��Its natural and shows progress within weeks. But remember, I did not leave my schedule of jogging/walking in morning and avoided all that was un-necessary fried stuff. Try it and I m sure it will help ...Good luck ...
Healthy weight loss? 16 lbs? -
here is my tip to you: in the morning, straight after you wake up do not have breakfast and go on a run. this is beneficial because you body has not recieved nutrients for a long time and therefore they we be depleted, therefore the body looks for an alternative source of energy - FAT. Apart from the obvious of not eating a lot and doing cardiovascular exercise then you should be alright.
Exercise is key, and eat healthily- cut down on chocolate, sweets and fatty foods. A very important thing to remember is to never miss out a meal on purpose, never starve yourself because you ll put on more weight than you had before and drink plenty of waterThis is a great plan to base your weight loss on:Breakfast: Toast/Cereal and fruit salad. Apple juice/waterLunch: Source of protein, carbohydrate and veggiesSnack: Yoghurts for stronger bones (calcium)Tea: Protein source carbs, veggies. And for pudding have fruit and low fat yoghurt.Exercise: Gym once a week and go for a jog or ride your bike a couple of times a week, do yoga or go for a swim!Good luck xxx
Exercise and eat well.
If you eat your 5 a day, stick to under 1500 kcal for a girl or under 2000 kcal for a lad, and add 3 or 4 x 20 minute exercise sessions a week, it will result in a steady healthy weight loss.
Quick weight loss / ab fiirming plans? -
jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weightevenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight inspecific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they areyour problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will haveto work double on them. The best approach is this:1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normalweight, lower for overweight).2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.3. Target your problem areas with exercises.an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on astool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make surethat it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or youwill damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of yourbody back, until it s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second andmove it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week addto the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat - if you have any - sixpack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than thesecrunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results ATALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.
This is very easy!!!1) do some aerobic=jog/run/ski/cycle...2) do some ab exercisesThat thats simple...
Weight Watchers Log Where can I find one? -

Is there a free website that can morph my picture to make me look skinny? -
You can do it. You know the paint thing on your computer put your picture on it and take a picture of someone who s skinnier,and yous the cut and paste tools to cut of your body, and copy and paste the other dudes body on you.
I wouldn t say that those things are reliable. You should want to lose weight to look and feel better. Starting a healthy regimen will add years to your life and safeguard against cancer. I would think that would be motivation enough. Do it for yourself, not for how you think you might look when it is done with. If you do it for the wrong reasons, rest assured that you will be able to see that weight fly right back on without the aid of computer imaging.
