Weight loss tips/help? -

I am going to be trying to lose 20 pounds by the end/mid of June, so in order to do that, I need to lose about 2 pounds a week. I know this is doable as I know people who have done it (through the atkins diet which I think is a bit too unhealthy for my liking). I am just curious if anyone knows how many calories I should be eating per day. I weigh 138 and am 5 4 (female). I have already cut white bread and sugars out but I just want to know if anyone has any additional tips that will help or any specific exercises that will help. Also, is there anything I should incorporate into my diet?Any help would be appreciated!

Here are a few tips;WHEN to eat for losing weight... ? Eat (at least) three times a day. Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That s the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight... you must eat (the right things, of course) ? Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.? Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try. OK, one apple after 18:00 ? Don t starve Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health. Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet. ? Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast--eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.WHAT to drink for losing weight... ? Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day ! Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water! This improves your bowel, reduces the hunger sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks! Don t believe the slogan water makes me fat . Beside being stupid... you might get into serious troubles with your kidneys. ? Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squeezed! Don t drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, Spite etc. during the diet. Even lite or light versions. Exercise for losing weight... ? If you want quicker results - exercise would be good. ? Don t just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts... I guarantee THIS won t work for your weight loss... ? Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don t be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants! ? Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don t regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated.? Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don t shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?? Also Cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, or aerobics will help you lose that unwanted belly fat. Weight training can also help you lose body fat because the more muscle mass you have, the more ability your system has to burn body fat.Good luck!Hope this helps~

the best and easiest thing to do is when ur at home and on the phone walk around the yard not to slow and ull get a good workout by 3 ten minute conversations. also id eat around 1300 calories a day. and jog an hr on days off

Weight loss tips for the cold weather? -

now that the cold has started i dont like eating salads, and even fruit. as a result i feel hungry all the time, and am not sure about what i should be eating - looking for some tips on what to eat, and how to stay motivated. its tempting to stay at home than go to the gym, but i so want to lose weight.

sex, sex, sex, sex, sex!!

Drinking plenty of sugar free drinks and water will keep you full and helps flush the system

Try Weight Loss/Hoodia sample to lose weight faster. But still, you should maintain a good workout routine. Also, browse this site http://www.upkb.com/weightloss.php for diet tips and product details.

Be active. I mean do all stuffs that will make you sweat, or you may also take Weight Loss/Hoodia sample to help burn calories faster by controlling your food intake. For diet tips and product solutions, you may also browse this site http://www.upkb.com/weightloss.php

Remember to drink plenty of water(not only to help you feel full between meals it is essential so that your skin stays soft and not dry out). Try some warm salads, like with warm chicken or turkey. Try eating soup before a meal, to fill you up. Good luck

get a workout partner--if you have a friend or family member-find someone with similar goals try to work out with these person at least 3 times a week if they can t join you every day.try eating low fat home made soup with chicken or meat and vegetables.

A few things that have worked for me: For exercise * If possible and practical, take public transportation to work/school...and walk to the bus stop* Walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator For meals * Cut out all cola drinks, diet or not (not hard in the cold weather). These are either laden with sugar (in the case of non-diet) or contain chemical additives that get in the way of the weight loss process (in the case of diet drinks).* Drink a large glass of water before you eat your meals. This will remove your feeling of thirst so that you don t eat to compensate for both your thirst and your hunger.* Eat smaller portions for your meals but don t cheat yourself out of the good things (like sweets). You ll never stay motivated to lose weight if you can t eat the treats.* Try to eat real food, and avoid chemicals that are meant to substitute natural sugars. I treat myself to whole hog Breyer s ice cream instead of Lowfat or NoFat ice cream...I just eat less. Same thing with butter vs margarine...Butter all the way, just eat less.Hope it helps a little.

you cant lose weight its impossible.... you can only lose mass...just saying

It natural to gain weight over the cold winter. Just keep the weight, don t gain any. If you NEED to loose more that 15lb for healthy BMI you need to change lifestyle no matter.

weight loss tips for the cold, continue to work-out as if its still summer, but in-doors.dont eat before bedtime,layoff the starches and breads and chips and between meal meals. if you must eat fast-foods, try BK, no Mayo! you want to be motivated...good looking guys (like myself) like hot girls. the choice is yours. do you want to be a hottie or a nottie?!

Simple tips to lose weight? -

anyone got any weight loss tips, i started not eating after 5pm because your matabolism works off the food you ate during the day. but any easy tips on just loosing some exta pounds :]

always eat breakfast, try to within 20 minutes of getting up? I usually have plain cheerios with skim milk or oatmeal or cream of wheat, something that s healthy. I didn t like to eat any of these for breakfast before but after a few weeks of eating it, I actually am craving it in the mornings.

drink water, eat less fatty foods exercise regularly.

Any tips how can i loose my last stone of baby weight, when i am already dieting and regular exercising!? -

I am starting to feel depressed as i no longer have my perfect size 10 figure! All weight loss tips wanted!!!!

Give yourself time, your body goes through hell when you re preganant, sometimes it just takes a while for the last bit of weight to come off. You sound like you re doing everything you should be, exercise and healthy eating (I hate the word diet coz it makes me wanna pig out . Give yourself a break and the weight will come off.

Let me know when you do it cause I m still not there 3 years later!

How tall are you? You size may be already fine depending on your height. Keep yogurt or at least calcium in your diet. I don t know why, but Calcium seems to help the weight loss problem. That s how I did it after my second child. Also, DO NOT Skip breakfast. It will slow down your body, because your body will think it is in sleep node still...without that breakfast boost in the morning.

Be patient. The diet and excersise will work but you need to keep it up. If you get discouraged that the weights not dropping fast enough, you may want to quit. Thats the big mistake alot of people make. You just have to have patience. Hope I helped. Mike, Former USMC

Be patient - my rule is it took nine months to go on - expect nine months for it to come off! How old is your little one? Is he/she breastfeeding? Eat healthy, regular meals and keep moving, drink lots of water and make sure you are well rested (well as much as you can being mum to a newborn!) - one thing that really makes me cut back is writing down every single thing i put in my mouth, it makes me think twice believe me!

think yourself lucky you are nt bigger, did you think you would be a 10 for ever. Anyway once your baby gets to toddler stage exercise happens without you even thinking about it.

Edit this post with what you ate yesterday. Be honest, i m sure we ll be able to see something your doing wrong. Also what sort of exercise are you doing?There is method of dividing your weekly calories by 7 and then having a very high calorie day a few normal and a few below days. This way your body wont think its on a diet and will not hold onto its fat reserves. When on a diet for a long time the body can think that there is not enough food and store fat, this is from cave man days when this reflex was needed to survive winter

1) your body needs time to adapt that you are no longer pregnant!2) when you execise to much the fat wont be burned off it will be still there but as musclestructure. so if you give your body a rest for lets say about 4 weeks and you eat healthy food as well as using good cooking oil then you will see that you will lose the last stone in a couple of weeks.. some vitamines need oil (fat) to be used for its purpose .. if u leave out oil(fat) completely you harm your body ...lack of vitaminescheck the local weightwatchers website.!

all women worry,you lose it (what a stone)

I have had 3 children - after my first, I lost all the baby weight and more! After babies 2 3 I am still stuck. I am 10 kilograms heavier than I should be and it is the most depressing thing ever - I feel your pain hun and if I had the answers, I would share them!!! I really dont know if one can ever be the way they were after having had children, sorry hun :(

The only effective way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. (No fun!)

Good exercises focusing on the tummy area? -

i was wondering if anybody knew any weight loss tips but more importantly exercises that will focus on the tummy area , i am trying to slim that area the most thanks!

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.

Got lots....CrunchesCrunches, crossing one ankle over one bent knee and doing crunches toward the knee bent outward.Hollow body holds and hollow body rocks.see video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c-kNsPqy��Here are also a few good exercises. Notices on the second exercises... the guy in the video should have his legs straight while he s doing the pike-ups (as they are referred by)...Lastly, the thing the guy is doing are butt-ups . These can be done against the wall for balance, just dont use the wall.

Hi I have seen a lot of great programs in this site im using, there is programs for getting the perfect tummy or a great stomachtry this http://seek4fitness.net/Fitness/Exercise-Program/Public-Exercise-Programs.html?all=true guid=af271eb9-ba2b-4769-8b0c-65470330af94

when dieting try drinking before eating and savoring food while eating. cardio exercises will flatten the abdominal area. situps crunches and the plank position will help shrink it also.

bicycles are killer they work the abdomen very hard and work the legs too.planks also work very wellhttp://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/besta��great site

What are your favorite weight loss quot;secretsquot;? -

I know about health and nutrition.and the benefits of exercise.but i was just wondering what your favorite weight loss tips are,that not many people might know :). Thanks in advance!!

i don t know about tips...but im all about jenny craigit actually very simple to do

Believe You Can Lose the WeightHere are some helpful tips;?Infrared saunas burn calories and remove toxins. Perspiration is one of the most effective ways of ridding the body of chemicals and toxins. When we sweat our bodies go into thermal regulation which raises metabolism, burns fat and calories. Eliminating toxins in the body fixes metabolic imbalances that cause poor digestion and weight gain.��Saunas are an important aid to weight loss and thyroid repair because as you lose weight, fat tissue releases stored toxins such as PCB s and pesticides.��-Dr. Mark Hyman, author of NY Times best selling book ��Ultrametabolism�� and Sunlight Saunas customer.The sauna experience is interesting; I definitely sweat more than when I run for an hour. It was a little uncomfortable but I recommend bringing lots of ice water, cold cloths something to read. It will be interesting to see if I notice any differences but right away my complexion looks ten times better.All in all I feel it is a good add for a weight loss tool.?Rhubarb is a low glycemic, low calorie vegetable (yes vegetable) that is chock full of vitamins, fiber minerals. The stalks of rhubarb have been used as a laxative. It also conveys bile salts from the liver and it assists the intestine in regulating the absorption of fat. It also serves as a colon tonic and speeds up metabolism. But the catch is that you can not douse it in sugar to consume it or that will defeat the purpose.Here are a couple of methods I use to eat it;I have chopped it and added it to my green smoothie which consists of chopped kale, chopped swiss chard, berries, a small amount of kelp organic pure apple juice. This shake is really tasty!You can also fry the rhubarb with some orange juice and add it to some plain yogurt for breakfast.Caution: Just make sure you do not consume the leaves as these are poisonous.?My philosophy is simple on weight loss, add more nutrient dense foods to your diet and you will lose weight. One of these super foods I highly recommend is the pear. The pear is a weight loss gem because it is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals antioxidants. It is a low glycemic, low calorie snack that fills the stomach, lowers cholesterol cleans the colon and body of dangerous toxins which inhibit weight loss.So snack away on the delicious pear.?I don t believe there is an overnight fix for weight loss but I do believe there are a lot of great tools out there that can aid and accelerate weight loss. The acai berry is one of these weight loss tools that I believe to be useful. It has been called one of the most nutrient dense and potent super foods on earth. It is an antioxidant which is high in essential fatty acids, omegas 3, 6 9, fiber vitamins. It is a low glycemic food and has been shown to lower cholesterol, blood pressure toxins. It is also reported to ward off cravings, suppress appetite and increase energy levels.Now I know that acai is under attack for false diet claims. Please be careful of any product that claims it will produce quick effortless results. Also beware of products that offer a free trial as they usually will auto bill you which can be a pain in the butt. Use a reliable source to find your product such as a website that you have purchased from before or your local health food store.I am still going to give the acai berry a fair shot.

I m one of those tried everything women who lost and gained back, and lost again (mostly I gained back because I stopped paying attention). Right now I m losing with Nutrisystem and K2O (Kellog s water) between meals.There s a great booklet I bought from Nutrisystem called Mindset Makeover. It s a 12-week plan that helps you change the behavior of overeating and sedentary-ness. I love it. Part of it is a list of behaviors that most thin people have (that obese people don t). It s one of my favorite sections because it helps me see that it s not about sometimes being on a diet. It s about being concerned full-time about your weight. I lost 14 pounds this time, in a month, so I think that s not bad, considering I ve been cheating sometimes. That s another tip I have:Don t be all perfectionist about it. You will stick with a diet longer if you don t beat yourself up for cheating sometimes. Just get back on track. And have a plan for everything. (What s my plan if I cheat? What s my plan if I get hungry? What s my plan if.... if... if....?) Memorize the plans and execute them quickly as soon as you hit an obstacle. If I ever lose all this weight (my BMI is 35), I couldn t even think of not keeping it off. It is so hard to lose it in the first place. I think I d become clinically depressed if I gained it back after losing it all. Maybe that s part of why I m scared to lose it. I m terrified of gaining it back. Try to figure out what scares you about losing weight. It will do you good to know and to fight that fear directly. Another tip: Don t focus on the first week s weight loss. Most weight loss in the first week is from retained water that you lose when you take in fewer calories. It s encouraging to have a 7 pound weight loss on week 1, but if you get discouraged from a 2 pound weight loss in week 2, then... well, it s better to be realistic. You can always lose about 5 lbs from taking a diuretic. Big deal, it s fat you really want to lose. Oh well, back to the trenches.

I have learned quite a shocking info recently. This is not a tip, but this can be said to be a whole trend of tips inside.It turns out if you are having quite a nasty problem (and you can be even not aware of it), then any attempts to lose weight will fail.Moreover, the doctor who is sharing this info says that many weight loss industry gurus know about it and still keep it secret, because they can sell you more weight loss drugs.I am not a doctor to make decisions, but if you want to see how a certified doctor proves her point - please read this post http://www.freeweightlossexpert.com/how-to-loose-weight-shocking-truth/ and make sure to watch the video (you will see a link to the video in the post).

I have been through it all and know what s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it s good for the heart.However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I ve found a great addition to help any one out, it s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it s the best pill I ve tried and I ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Does anyone have any (nonspam) weight loss tips?? I cant seem to lose any weight :( trying for months? -

consult a dietian at your hospital with a weight loss guide. It s free. I did it in the past. I got lazy and don t feel like keeping a food journal or talking to her anymore. The website www.sparkpeople.com is good.To be honest they aren t any.

1. Eat 5-7 small meals a day drink enough water2. Cardio and toning exercises in moderation 5 days/week3. You can consume green tea and apple cider vinegar to boost metabolism.A good breakfast also influences metabolism.4. just aim at losing 4kg or 9 lbs a month...5 . 2 cheat meals a week is the limit.

Eat plenty of green vegetables. They are low in calories and high in nutrition. Also lift weights in circuit fashion to get a cardio workout plus stimulate your lean body tissue and speed up your metabolism. Here are some free workout videos and other tips to lose weight fast.. http://GANTT.COM/
