Darling, I already answered your question in the Programming section, however, if you put your question under the Dieting section, you will probably get more answers!

Hey there :]It s great that you re trying to make yourself happier. Although that isn t all in appearance, and I think you understand that, I think you should stick to eating healthy and exercising. One way you can mellow out, work on being more of a quiet thinker, and workout all in one is go out for a run with some music, like your iPod or something. Specifically other than that I can t really think of many ideas to help you, but I hope it all works out!

How to lose weight within 3 weeks? -

I have this meeting on in 4 weeks and I want to lose a little bit of weight...I don t care what people say about me but I am so unfit and very unhealthy... Please the best way to lose weight?I CAN T swollow tablets and I d rather work out IN my home. I have a bike but I am not aloud to ride without a helmet and mum won t get me one because I just got a new phone.Please help.

losing too much weight in a short time is really really really really really bad for your body.. it s better to do it gradually. you ll get sick if you lose too much weight too quickly..but, one thing is, women tend to accumulate water weight much more than men do because of their menstrual cycles, so anything to do with making yourself sweat all of that water out is good... but.... that doesn t mean you need to sit in a sauna and not drink water.. DEFINITELY RE-HYDRATE.. this may sound counter productive, but, trust me, most of the water you will lose is stored in your body, and drinking lots more water will not defeat the purpose. actually drinking a LOT of ice cold water will help you lose weight for two reasons. one, because if you drink a lot of water, your body will think it has no need to store as much of it, therefore you ll lose weight. for two, cold water takes energy to warm in your system, therefore, you will burn calories to warm the water in your system. any and all cardio will help you lose weight pretty quick... go jogging, do wind-sprints, jumping jacks, kick boxing, tae bo, whatever it takes to sweat and do a core workout... of course there s pushups and situps too. things like that.. more importantly, stop eating junk food, drinking sodas, etc. go on a salad diet for a while... Honestly you can eat the same things you usually eat and still lose weight, it just takes PORTION CONTROL, and a healthy level of activity. I can lose 5 pounds in the course of 2 days by altering my food intake and doing a little bit of exercise. (full vs. empty stomach and digestive tract weighs into this too - no pun intended) i have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks .. 15 pounds takes a bit more for me because i m NOT overweight... good luck

Wow, three weeks is not that long of a time. But, get active! Do some cardio, run in place, jog, walk, skip rope, anything, keep burning those calories and get your metabolism working. Also try to keep the muscles working, sit up, push ups, lift a pale of water, anything. Muscle mass will also burn calories, as muscle eats fat. Watch what you eat, take in less calories than you burn. Take some whey protein to build muscles and keep your body fueled. Take the protein in a smoothie within 30 minutes of your workout, 20-40 grams should be good. I love the choc flavor I get from the guys below, They also have some smoothie recipes and other discussions on their forum link.check it out and good luck.

I used everything to lose weight, and nothing worked until I used acai berry. I know they say that pills do not work, however they certainly worked for me, and they ve been featured on the Rachael Ray Show too.There s a free trial happening at the moment at www.wellbeinglive.info , why not try it, how worse could it make things?

Step 1:First of all cut back on sweetened soda and juice... these drinks have a lot of calories and the calories .Step 2:Cut back on breads and rice,carbohydrates. they have a lot of sugar which in turn can turn to fat plus they don t keep you filled as long.... eat foods high in protien and fiber... meats, greens, protien bars... high fiber bread.Step 3:the next key is exercise.. Start a walking club at work.... if you walk during your luncg break even if it is a 20 minute walk that adds up during the end of the week. get a wal in on the weekend or go to the gym a little here and there will make a difference over time . a few minor changes will really make a difference.

all you have to do is do 50 crunches a day im not very good at push ups so maybe ten only eat fruit, fruit snacks, beef jerky,and pork rines there very healthy;) meat but only baked and a small portion a week 5 cups of watere a day milk and whenever you can go outside play and not so much time on the computer and t.v. you can loose 10 pounds in one week!!!!!!!

okay, well you need to eat less, no seconds, not fatty foods, no soda!! okay? this will help.. Walk in place in your bedroom for 30 minutes or as long as you can. this can be your cardio. try doing a few push-ups, jumping jacks... Whatever you do, don t get discouraged, keep it up and try your hardest, less food, more cardio!! good luck!!

Okay well get on a diet, eat fruits, vegetables, in as big quantities as you wish. I d suggest you jog a bit, drink lots of water (8 glasses a day). best of luck to you and don t give up!You can make it!

eat healthier and eat a small meal every 3 hours instead of eating big meals at breakfast lunch and dinner.And you dont have to ride ur bike.Just jog down the sidewalk for about 20-30 mins everyday.

I need the exact same thing. I have to be a bridesmaid in my aunt s wedding in 3 weeks. My dress is kind of tight and yeah. =/

dance your heart out! music is a great motivator and is a great way to burn calories.

push upspilates sit upsand much more...

How to lose weight in 3 months? -

So, it s pretty simple. I want to lose about 40-50 pounds this summer so that I can go back to school feeling great about my body. I also think that by doing this I will be more confident in myself. Any suggestions on how to do this are much appreciated! Thank you!

Ok, hope i can help, but what I am doing (3rd day at midnight) is limiting myself to a 1200-1500 calories diet. I am 15, 16 in november. I am trying to lose 15-20lbs in a month so... I am also going to bike and jog in the mornings. I am also going to try to do some toning excersizes so that the jogging and biking are more effective to my stomach (my concerned area) I hope I helped!Thank you!

Unless you re over 350 pounds, It s almost impossible to lose up to 50 pounds in 3 months. Just diet and excersise, that s the key. I lost about 10 pounds in a period of 4 months last year, so I m telling you it s not so easy. I m currently on a diet right now too and have lost like 5 pounds in 2 weeks(the first few weeks you lose the most weight)

Weight loss tips please? -

Currently: 130lbs, 5ft 5inches tall, pants size is a 7-8(mostly 7),age:19. Goal: Pants size: 5-6 If I run 2.5 miles on a treadmill (speed: 5.0 , Incline 4.0) EVERYDAY and also walk 2.5 miles(Speed: 4.0 , Incline 4.0) AS WELL. Will I be able to tone up my legs,butt, and my stomach area? IF I do this 7days a week. Or should I allow myself two days off. like for an example. Work out for two days straight and then take a day break.and then two day excercise and then day break again? What do you think? Want to lose some fat on my stomach/lose inches.

It sounds like you know what you want to do. I would give yourself two days off in a row. At a minimum you need one day off to give your muscles a change to grow and rest. Change up the speeds and inclines just a bit throughout your workout. It will help your body work harder to adjust and burn more calories. Good luck!

You keep doing your exercises as you are doing, but you also take some weight loss diet plans, that will help you better in loosing weight more faster and easier.http://www.weightlosswand.com/ Report Abuse

Targetted weight loss is quite hard, many people would state impossible, nevertheless the only thing which clearly showed results for me is wu-yi tea, it can be viewed in the resource box underneath, they have a limited number of free trials remaining, it has been reported in Reader s Digest and CNN. I worked off 30 pounds, it clearly does work!

30 mins brisk walking b4 breaky then 30 mins b4 dinner or after weights. weights 3 times per week work each muscle group only once per week. For more advice go to :http://awoodysworld.blogspot.com/

disregard what other people say about targeted weight loss being impossible to accomplish, by setting goals you are challenging your mind and body to become more in tune with you re persona. it s a healthy way of developing ambition and will motivate you to shed those extra pounds. i m a male, but i don t think weight loss based on gender should be too much of an important variable in this equation... ok, if you want a toned body, don t fluster yourself to do a billion crunches in the morning and then some in the afternoon everyday. set a schedule for yourself to incorporate cardio exercise, resistance, and rest days. your body also needs good nutrition to keep a constant metabolism and burn fat even when you re just lounging. my exercise routines includes sprinting 3 miles divided into sectors and doing a set of 10 push ups or abdominal workout in between..(it s brutal having to do pushups in between sprints, but the fat burns off like crazy) i do that 3 times a week, and i also incorporate weight training mostly for my upper body because i have to balance the leg exercise i do (i walk a minimum of 5 miles a day). eating healthy and cutting out fatty foods has been good so far, and i don t miss snacking on lay s potato chips. i now have baked tortilla strips with garlic hummus... you can develop your own routine, just stick to it, and don t forget to treat yourself to a brownie every now and then, keeping portion control in mind of course! best of luck.

How to lose weight the right way? -

I m 5 4 and I weigh 180lbs and It s really hard to lose weight. It s hard to fight the cravings.

Just the classic eating healthy and exercising daily. Diets aren t always effective and sometimes it takes a long time to find the right one. Eating healthy does not mean starving. The average woman should be having 1500-2000 calories a day. Get rid of all of the junk food in your house so you wont be tempted to eat it. Only keep healthy foods in your house. If you ever feel the need to snack, snack on celery sticks, apples, nuts, and little things like that. It will really fill you up. Try to limit your red meats. They re not good for you and will slow your metabolism down. Instead try some skinless chicken or tuna. I ve found that running is a really good way to exercise. You don t even need to run for too long. Even 15-30 minutes a day is enough. It speeds up your metabolism and burns calories. Also things like aerobics and yoga classes are also good sources of exercise. Becoming a vegetarian is also a good way to lose weight. You can make it a temporary thing just to lose weight. Just make sure that you eat mostly fruits and vegetables rather than a bunch of carbs. A lot of vegetarians make that mistake.

Here are some tips:(1) Eat smaller meals or snacks throughout the day. Start with breakfast within an hour of getting up, then eat something in the 250-350 calorie range every three hours or so. Eating breakfast kick-starts your metabolism in the morning, and eating smaller every three hours or so keeps it running at a higher level.(2) Add exercise. One of the best exercises is walking because it burns fat almost exclusively. Sneak in brisk walks whenever you can, even if it s only for ten minutes. If you can do an hour a day, GREAT!(3) You have to make the bad-for-you stuff the exception and not the rule. I m sure you know what you should be eating and what you should be avoiding, so build your meals and snacks around the good-for-you stuff. EXCEPTION: Allow yourself half a day a week where you can eat or drink whatever you want as long as you don t stuff yourself. That ll make it easier to stick with a healthy eating plan.(4) Eat more protein and less carbs. Carbs are easily converted into fat, but protein requires a lot of energy to break down, so you can actually burn more calories just by eating more protein. WARNING: Protein does make your kidneys work harder, but there s an easy fix: Drink more water.(5) If you can t kick the cravings, you may want to consider hypnosis. Many hospitals and clinics now offer hypnosis for weight loss, and in many cases it s covered by medical insurance. However, you don t have to see a hypnotherapist. There are several websites where you can get hypnosis CDs and MP3s to help you with weight loss and exercise. Here s one: http://www.hyptalk.com/Good luck!

My first suggestion is take a look at what you re eating.. everyone is different. My guess is you are consuming (on a daily basis) large amounts of sugar, carbohydrates and calories. I am not that tall and I seem to notice when I put on 5lbs. I would minimize your portions, start doing 30 minutes of cardio, and eat more healthy. More veggies. I limit myself to one soda a day and I eat pasta once a week. Once you start eating right, your body will feel really lousy when you give in to cravings.

I do little things to keep myself in shape, I go for a walk every day that s about 2 miles with my boxer. Listening to music or taking a friend can keep you from getting bored...And fighting the cravings can be tough, just remember that if you really want something fattening only have a taste. You don t have to restrict yourself completely, but don t let yourself go crazy. Try different kinds of healthy food, who knows? You might find something that tastes better than junk food. I d take seafood any day over ice cream or cake. Remember, always leave some food on the plate when you go out to eat. Restaurants always serve more than a portion. I hope this helps! Good luck!

You can DO IT!!!. You don t need to starve yourself to loose weight, because if you do its just comes back, and haunts you! Just eat sensibly and excersise, if you want to have a cookie, FINE! Just one or two, and to make it a little healthier try a glass of milk with it to get all your nutrients. Trust me the people that starve themselves always gains there weight back.

Replace all the bad foods with healthy ones - try to eat foods from home as much as possible.Stay hydrated with water.Exercise hard and burn more calories than you eat. Don t be afraid to lift weights.Get support from your friends and family.Try fatsecret.com. It s a good site to track your progress. Good luck

*sigh* this is gonna be long. i beta get best answer for this o.O lol jk.well first you must eliminate the junky snacks. the kind that dont fill you up but they are rely junky. we re tlaking bout the chips , popcorn , ice cream , popcicles , candies , and chocolate. eat more at meals and eat stuff that fill u up. then DO NOT EAT BEFORE BEDTIME!!! if u eat b4 bed time you shall gain weight like crazy. eat most at mealtimes perferably breakfast. not hungry at breakfast? to bad :o lol jk. but still eat alot at breakfast. then of course exersize. long walks and jogging can do WONDERS. maybe lisetning to ur ipod while taking a long walk. if you dont like walking bicycling skateboarding ect could be a subsitutte. walk/bicycle/skateboard ect for at least 30min 1nce in morning and 1nce in afternoon. then do 30pushups and 30situps (if u cant do tht much do as much as u can til u can do 30) in the morning and afternoon. u mite wana consider sports too. tennnis is a great workout , so is cross country , and dancing and stuff. BASEBALL/SOFTBALL SUCKS FOR EXCERSIZING. at last of all dont do lean cusine or weight watchers or fake sugar. u realize some of those toxins could give u cancer. pce out hope this helps.

Jenny CRANK... Smoke up some rocks and you ll be good to go. Have you ever seen a fat tweeker? Then again you say its hard to fight cravings. When you get hooked on that crap there is probably no going back.

EAT LESS AND EXERCISE MORE watch this guys youtube videos there amazing on fitness and ive learned a lot http://www.youtube.com/user/scooby1961

Try your hardest to find snacks that are HEALTHY Cravings. Also exercise regularly.

ermmm well you can try to get some friends and go play something I dont eat all day if my friends are over but we play games like running around and stuff hope this helps!

Everything that taste good is bad for you. READING A BOOK DOES WONDERS.

Be more active, stop eating before you are full but just when u start to feel good. Stop eating junk food if you do.

train yourself to eat smaller portions at meal times! dont snack in between meals unless its like a fruit or veggie! and exercise more often!

exersize

just exercise - do an hour a day doing sit ups and the plank etc. It worked for me. The more you eat the more you work out

How to lose weight for teens? -

Im a teen and I really want to lose weight what are some easy ways to do it?

You know what really helps me? Is drinking water! Whenever I get a snack craving I drink water or when it s getting late (I try not to eat past 7, so I lose weight) I drink water. The good thing is you will constantly be feeling full without eating and you will get your 8 glasses of water a day!

Are you overweight, or someone who is at their natural weight wants to be thinner? Either way, I highly recommend against weight loss as a teen. At that point, your brain, bone density, muscle and organs are still developing, and when you lose weight, they stop doing that. This means you risk an underdeveloped brain, a very high risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis as you get older, etc. Not to mention that 95% of diets don t work and usually result in weight gain.I recommend that you work on eating intuitively. Meaning, you eat what you want, when you want it and usually don t eat when you re not hungry. If you do so, you should drop to your ideal weight in a healthy way and be at a much lower risk for all of the fore-mentioned health problems, as well as gaining the weight back.However, if you are hell-bend on losing weight through a diet, the best way to do it is to consult a nutritionist. That way, you can do it in the healthiest way possible.

The formula for losing weight is not difficult - consume less food and move more - the difficulties appear when we in reality try to put that into operation! There are loads of temptations in the real world don t you think?! The one method which clearly showed results for me is wu-yi tea, it can be viewed in the resource box underneath, they have a limited number of free trials remaining, it has been reported in Reader s Digest and CNN. I worked off 25 pounds, it clearly does produce success!

If you want to lose weight, you need to two things: eat less and exercise more. Weight gain happens when you create a calorie surplus (eat more than you burn). Your body takes the excess calories and converts them to fat which get stored around your stomach, arms and thighs. The longer you remain in a calorie surplus, the more weight you ll gain. To lose that weight, you need to do the opposite. You need to create a calorie deficit (start eating less than you burn). Your first step is to figure out how many calories you burn on a daily basis. This calculator will help you out http://calorieneedscalculator.com The number you get from this tool is what your body burns on a daily basis. To lose weight, simply eat less. It sounds a lot easier than it is but making small changes helps you adjust to a new lifestyle. Don t think of this as a diet, think of it as a new life. Instead of eating foods high in sugars, white flour and saturated fat, go with fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, fish, lean meats, nuts and beans. In addition to eating less, you also need to exercise more. Start off at 1-2 times per week and work your way up to 3-5 times per week.Don t make all of these changes at once or you won t be able to properly adjust to them. Generally, eating healthier foods will decrease your calorie intake. Compare a doughnut to an apple and you ll see that healthy foods are lower in calories. You can find some more information at the Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com

It s good that you eat a lot of fruit. The key to successful long-term as well as short-term weight loss, is instead of eating the normal three times a day routine. Is to eat small healthy meals about five to six times a day. Along with exercise. There are specific exercises that one should adhere to. I recommend you review a program that is focused on just these elements.It will provide you with meal plans that you choose from the meals that you like. You are thus eating healthier, losing weight and improving your overall health all at the same time. You can review this program at: http://www.bestweightlosswithexercise.com.
