How to lose weight in your hips and thighs? -

i naturally have large thighs and hips. i had surgery last friday and the whole weekend i didnt eat much, so i lost a lot a weight in that area. how do i keep it off and continue to lose weight?by the way, i exercise a LOT so i dont think its physical activity that i need. but maybe tips on what kinds of exercises. i usually run a couple miles (on flat ground becuase i heard it helps), do a couple hundred crunches.

One thing that works for me is: before I eat, I drink a large glass of water, then if I m still hungry, I won t eat as much as I would have.It s better to eat 5-6 small meals than 2 or 3 regular meals each day.also, fyi:1 pound = 3500 calories.If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight.ie, if you eat 2000 calories per day and burn 2500, you will lose 1 pound every week.the average person burns 1000-1500 calories per day, just being alive.power walking can burn 200-500 calories per hour.exercise bike can burn 200-600 calories per hour.swimming can burn 100-800 calories per hour.jogging/running can burn 300-1200 calories per hour.Also, try not to eat within 3-4 hours of going to sleep.*********VERY IMPORTANT************when trying to lose weight, very important to drink lots and lots of water ! ! ! You should drink at least 10 glasses per day, like 1 glass every hour !This helps your body get rid of the fat when you are burning calories.

run long distances 5miles and up

Anyone looking for a weight loss pill should really consider the Acai Berry. Many people claim to have lost 40-50 pounds in a couple months while using Acai. 60 Minutes and Oprah have even featured it on their shows. Dr. Oz said it is a Super Food and is full of vitamins and anti-oxidents.

HELP.....How do i start drinking water when i hate it!? -

PLEASE HELP!!!im trying so hard to loose weight and i hear that drinking water really helps you loose weight easier..its just i HATE it...i have tried drinking it but it makes me almost gag!do you have any suggestions on how to start getting used to it to drink it?Thanks.and also if you could give me some weight loss tips on exercises to do i will apprechiate it.and i also have heard that you are suppose to burn more calories than you eat...is that true? cuz i have heard that its unhealthy to do that...but i would think its good to burn more calories each day than what you ate....so please just help and tell me the amount i should burn.

try flavored waters like vitamin water, flavored volvic water, propell or wutever brand they sell in ur area. i got into water by carrying it all around the house with me, so if i was thirsty i wouldn t go 2 the kitchen and pour something unhealthy, instead i d b lazy and just drink from my bottle. try carrying a 1.5 - 2 litre bottle so that u know ur drinking enough. and no sodas (they make ur tummy bloat).after that, i would just say jogging or a few nice excercise tapes.

Put a couple drops of lemon juice in it. Also, start by drinking bottled water and drink it cold. Drink it in little sips. Eventually, the more you drink your body will start to crave it. Your body loves water, the gag stuff is really in your mind. Or you are drinking city water and are sensitive to chlorine.

Start with the number of pounds you want to weigh, multiply by 13 (for females) and you ll have the number of calories to eat each day to eventually weigh your target weight. Don t waste your allotment on sweets, fats and other high calorie foods. And it s times 15 for males. Drink as much water as you re able. Try lemon juice in it.

i couldn t stan dtap water then my mom got a water cooler like five years ago and i like water much better, also it keeps it colder. drink it really fast too dont take your time because then you can taste it. or you can try this drink called fuze. it comes in like 20 different flavors and it is pretty much water but it has stuff that makes you lose weight

I drink something called Clight; im not sure they ll have it where you live, but Its a powder you mix with water and makes it taste like anything you want like lemoande, peach, orange, even pina colada. Its realyl healthy too, no sugar, no calories.. hope i helped.

i dont know but i hated it too until one day i made my self really thirsty so then i drank water and i loved it ever since.you know your supposed to at least drink 6 glasses of wateer a dayim gonna go drink some right now

Yes, try flavored water, or sparkling water.Most liquids do have water in them, so try drinking more milk.

You could plug your nose and drink it. Or try those flavors that will make your water taste like juice.

You can try this one with water. http://tinyurl.com/oeihg365 I lost my weight with this way. I lost 18 pounds in one month. It will work for you too.

You do need to burn more calories than you eat; that s how weight loss happens. You should reduce the amount of calories you eat each day and incorporate exercise into your daily life.Start by trying to eat a grainy cereal and skim milk for breakfast, a salad and lean meat sandwich on brown bread for lunch, and some grilled chicken or fish with vegetables for dinner. Also, try to exercise for 30 minutes every day.As for water, you could try flavouring it with low sugar juice or cordial, and you could also drink tea as this helps to reach the recommended amount of water needed every day.If you visit the website www.calorieking.com.au the amount of calories you need to intake every day will be shown to you.Good luck!

You only need to consume 8-12 cups (~2-3 litres) of water each day. This includes the water we get from eating food (about 20% of our daily water consumption should come from food). So, you should only drink 6-10 cups of water each day. This is actual measured cups, not tall glasses of water. A cup is only a few swallows of water. Don t feel pressured to drink water constantly. The important thing is to limit your consumption of carbonated beverages, artificially colored and flavored beverages (this includes Gatorade and flavored water and vitamin water. These produces are marketed as healthy, but they are actually bad for your dietary health).Here are some ways to acclimate your body to enjoy drinking water.1. Purchase a Brita or Pur water filter for your sink faucet. This will give it a better taste and it is much cheaper and better for the environment than bottled water. Purchase a reusable water bottle and bottle your own water. This will reduce the waste from using many commerically bottled waters. 2. Consider drinking hot herbal teas. These teas contain only natural flavors and colors and are equally as healthy for your body as water. Some teas, such as green tea, have extra value because they contain natural antioxidants. 3. It is okay to only drink straight water with your meals or while exercising. This will make drinking unflavored water more enjoyable since it is either complimented by your meal or your exercise routine.Plan to lose 1-2 pounds per week with a proper diet and exercise plan. Losing more than 2 pounds per week puts an unhealthy strain on your body and is a sign that your body may be losing more than just fat cells. Diet: Eat only foods with a low glycemic index number and eat 3 small meals and 3 small snacks each day. This will encourage your body to stop storing your food as fat and lead to fat loss. Exercise: Do 30 minutes of cardio 4-5 times per week. You can also compliment your cardio with weights or strength exercises. There are two options, with weights or without weights. With weights, do 30 minutes of compound exercises (exercises the move two joints together, like bench presses and lunges). Without weights, do 30 minutes of compound exercises (push ups, lunges, etc.). This will help to tone your body while you are losing fat. Only do weight or strength training exercises 2 times per week and allow your muscles to rest at least 48 hours before you do weight or strength training exercises again.

I just shared this method with someone else, but I ll make it short for you. First, about drinking water. If you made it sweet, would you want to drink it? There is a product I use in place of sugar. It s from a plant and has no calories, no carbs, nothing but sweetness from a few drops. I get it at a health store. It s called Stevia. I don t know if Cool Aid has calories but some of that with Stevia should be completely harmless.Regarding calories...I ve done this...Multiply your weight by ten, which basically means just adding a zero to the number of pounds you are.If you weigh 150, then you would need 1500 calories a day to maintain that weight. If you exercise, that would take the amount of calories you burn away and you would lose weight. WALKING IS THE BEST WAY TO LOSE, OVERALL. Or if you ate way less than 1500, like I added up to 1200 calories a day (on Slimfast) and I lost weight-- 12 lbs, just driving across country in a car. (very little exercise) If you wanted to GAIN weight, you would eat MORE than ten times your weight in calories WITH LESS EXERCISE..Oh, and on your way to losing weight, always start your day with a good protein breakfast, like eggs or whatever protein you like. Make that your major calore allotment and you won t need or crave so much more throughout the day.Good luck.

How to lose weight without taking pills and eat whenever you want? -

i m a 14 year old boy that weighs about 220 pounds. now don t be negative because i know it s wrong and that s why i m posting this question trying to fix what i created. Now i WILL NOT take any pills and i do like to eat, so i m just looking for a solution to fast weight loss.

Count calories instead. Do not go over 1800 per day, start walking more. Within a year you should be down 40 pounds or more just from that. If you cut to 1600 calories though and do 1 hour cardio exercise 3-5 times a week, that weight can come off in 6 months.

Everything in a package has calories. Look for the label on the back in white, it should say Calories - x per serving x being the number. Report Abuse

that s like asking how to turn metal into gold, it s just not possible, if you want results you ll have to make sacrifices.

exercise??

count them calories for real!!

How to lose weight quickly amp; tone the stomach amp; thighs.? -

I ve recently gained about 10-20 pounds. I ve always been naturally skinny and never had to watch what I ate until now. - What are some good exercises to tone out the stomach thighs?- How can you lose weight quickly?

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body. Vary your routines. Don t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn t adjust to any one routine.An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.http://www.nutrawatch.com/http://www.caloriesperhour.com/http://www.helpguide.org/life/healthy_ea��http://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-the-H��http://weightloss.about.com/cs/fitness/a��http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/fe��

Everyone has a problem spot. It can be around the stomach, thighs, arms or chest. No matter where your trouble spot is, the solution is exactly the same. You need to eat less and exercise more. The reason why there s only one solution for all of these problems is because it s impossible to tell your body where to burn the excess fat from.When you eat too many calories, your body stores the excess energy as fat in different areas around the body. To lose this fat, you need to create a calorie deficit (eat less than you burn) to force your body to start burning that fat for energy. There is absolutely no way to control where your body goes to find this extra fat. The larger your calorie deficit (a bigger calorie deficit means a bigger difference between what you eat and what you burn) the faster your body will burn excess fat and the quicker your body fat percentage will start to decrease. You can increase your calorie deficit by cutting your daily intake and exercising more. Sit ups will do nothing to target the fat around your abs just like squats will do nothing to target the fat around your thighs.

There is a great online workout for weight loss and muscle tone called YRG that was developed by Diamond Dallas Page. I found the online workout video at www.GreatDrills.com.
