Hello Isaac.For a start don t worry about your weight. Your going to grow until your 21. And this means all your body. You weigh just under 10stone. This is about right for your age.Your not over heavy.A vegetarian diet is useless if your going to work out. You need meat.You sound as if your panicing about yourself. Don t.Regular exercise, walking, swimming, Aerobics, dancing etc. Weight training is good, but you will put weight on.But as I have said weight is O.K. Muscle is good. Fat is not. So if you eat plenty of fruit and veggies, eat lean meats, stay off the burgers and fries; and exercise, you ll be great. good Luck!

Eat Veggies, grilled skinless chicken breasts, and grilled fish.Cross training is really a great way to go.Sunday - Try running a mile then walking a mile. If you can t do the full mile running that is fine. Push as far as you can.Monday - Run .10 mile sprints 5 times. Cool down between each. Jog/speed walk .5 mile.Tuesday - Ride a stationary bike for 45 minutes. Then do 35 of each.Sit upsCrunchesBicycle Sit upsWednesday - Take off and let your body heal.Thursday - Run again. Same as Monday. Push as best you can.Friday - Weight Training. Work on your upper boddy and lower body.Saturday - Take off. A lifestyle of eating healthy and working out properly will change your body in dramatic ways. Be patient. Results come with time, not overnight. Note - Increase your workout as you get in better shape. Go on runs of longer distance. Ride longer on the bike. Lift more weight or add more reps. Good luck!

Looks good to me . I am 77 now and have had 2 bypass operations and it looks like my cholesterol was high and my genes. But cut all meat to about 10% of what u did eat. Now meat is not such a challange. Am doing quite a bit to get my strength up again. As u get older every time u have been sick u need to push your self to get back to helth again ,and every time it is harder. It is tempting to say well it is not bad at my age. That will not do it.

So you ve decided that you re going to do it.Millions have tried before you and most of them have failed miserably at reaching their weight loss and diet goals.Many people just go and hope on a diet or weight loss program without knowing exactly where they are from the start.Without knowing where you started, you won t be able to accurately gauge your progress. Not being able too see that progress put you at an extremely high risk. A holistic expert explains the key to keeping the pounds off permanently Without affecting your health.Read some Experts selected Articals for useful information.Checkout this link. http://loseweight-experts.blogspot.com/

To successfully lose weight, you must carry outa plan to balance your caloric intake with exercise.Ideally, dieting should be done by eating a nutritionallybalanced, low-calorie diet and increasing physical activity. I found useful informations at http://www.toloseweight.org

Have you tried a high protein, low carb diet?You will lose weight if you stick with it and eliminate all the bad carbs like soda, cookies, etc.

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day8 glasses of waterhave complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energyhave protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs musclecardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body- 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

How to lose weight for women? -

Okay, I have read so many different types of things about losing weight. I understand that I need to eat a certain amount of calories, and I know certain things are bad for me. But I still can t lose weight!!!! Can any lady help me here??? I just want to be healthier and I don t really know a good way of doing it..

1.First of all you should know how many calories you require per day.2.Try eating 500 calories less than required.3.Do good cardio sessions in week(at least 3 to 4 days/week).Because it burns extra calories(mainly from fat).4.Add weight training sessions for 2 to 3 days/week. Because weight training improves lean muscle mass, which in return increases your metabolism to certain extent and burns calories at a little quicker rate.And don t worry women wont put on huge muscle, as women doesn t have enough testosterone hormones to grow bigger muscle. 5.Last but not least, do not forget to stretch the muscles that you have worked in order to avoid soreness.

It all comes down to this: Burn more calories than you consume. Try counting your calories, trying not to exceed 1200 a day. Start exercising, if you don t already. Cardio is a great way to burn calories but don t forget that if it isn t somewhat intense, it probably isn t doing much for you. It takes time to lose weight the healthy way so don t get impatient! 1 to 2 pounds a week is ideal. Good luck!

A lot of people have had success with the Acai Berry diet. A few friends of mine have tried it and lost a hell of a weight.It didn t cost them much either, they got a free trial, Only had to pay a few dollars for shipping.I was going to try it myself, this is the site my friend got her trial from: http://zi.ma/9e11e

Fat Loss 4 idiots or the idiot proof diet details various reasons why most diets are not effective. The main point is that when you are on a diet, you are supposed burn more calories than what you take in. However, your metabolism adjusts to the amount of calories you consume. When this happens your metabolism slows down and that s when you stop losing weight. Fat Loss 4 Idiots asserts that the answer to this problem is calorie shifting.By rotating your protein and carbs intake everyday, your body s metabolism increases and this, according to Fat Loss for Idiots, will help you lose weight faster. With a combination of perfect carb and protein, you are allowed to eat four times a day with this diet. This process corrects and regulates your fat burning hormones, thereby helping you quickly and safely lose weight. This ingenious technique is known as the calorie shifting method.Weight loss for idiots is where I first started looking for an easy way to lose weight because I became a fat body. My search lead me to Fat loss 4 idiots, which as it turned out was perfect for me. Fat loss for idiots claims you can lose more weight by eating more often. It can also be done in a very simple step by step process.The results of weight loss 4 idiots is so tremendous that I lost 7 lbs in just 11 days, the promise was I would lose 9 lbs but the 7 in 11 days result is a huge start. After another 11 day cycle, I lost 6 lbs more. So in 22 days, I lost 13 pounds, which may not be the accurate amount of weight I should have lost in their advertisement, but that s 13 pounds!Where most diet plans fail is the fact they dont understand how the metabolism works. Fat Loss 4 Idiots uses basic metabolism facts to develop a solution to the diet problem. You see your metabolism has a memory, but it doesn t know how much food you ll eat tomorrow or the next day. Logically, your metabolism only burns calories based on the meals you ve had in the past. Weight Loss for Idiots uses this mechanism to come up with the effective diet plan known as calorie shifting method.Weight Loss 4 Idiots shocks your metabolism by doing something you ve never tried before. With Weight Loss 4 Idiots, you don t eat the same meals with the same calorie content for a couple of days. Through this, your metabolism no longer has a pattern to follow so it forced to burn more calories efficiently.Check out my source link, it might help. Good luck!

How to lose weight in certain places? -

im 12. 5ft. 104lbs. i know that people call that average but i still wanna lose some weight. i really want to lose the weight only in my legs and arms. mainly the thighs. thanks for the help. :D

You can really target weight loss in one specific part of your body. You can tone...but not lose weight. If you do cardio, you ll lose body fat, but its not guaranteed you ll lose it where you want to. If you re 5ft, 104, and 12 yrs old...you re perfect just the way you are...but if you re set on trying...just try to tone up with a little strength training. Hope this helps :)

How to lose weight in a week or less? -

My prom is coming up, and I ve gained about 7 pounds since I bought the dress.I can t stick to a diet or a workout plan that will give results in just one week.Any other options? Or routines that have worked for people?I am considering crash-dieting.But I m staying healthy throughout this process.Help!

How to Lose Weight in a Week1. Lose water weightLosing water weight is the quickest way to get rid of pounds quickly. Your body retains water because of a survival instinct born out of thousands of years of water scarcity for humans. In order to survive these times of drought, your body had to hoard water within itself to get through it.If your body didn t do that, you d basically die.Well, water isn t scarce for us anymore so this is a problem. The solution is to TRICK your body into thinking water is NOT scarce. To do that, you simply drink more water.Yes, you ve heard it 100 s of times from just about everyone. Drink more water to lose weight. Well, hopefully this reasoning helps convince you to finally do it. However much water you re drinking now, drink 30 ounces more. This should get your body to RELEASE 3-5 pounds of excessive water weight you were carrying.2. Eat 3 apples each and everydayYeah, another boring tip you think. Maybe it is, but if you truly want to lose weight you d do it. Here s why.Apples are pretty high in fiber and have high in water content. Basically, it s like you re eating water with fiber. It s the perfect snack for someone trying to lose weight. If you actually did eat 3 apples a day for a month, I can pretty much guarantee you that you ll lose 2-3 pounds from this alone.

Well there s good news and there s bad news. The bad news first...You have to do some work, take some responsibility and regain some control over the behavior that caused you to gain weight in the first place. You did change your behavior in regards to eating after you bought the dress, didn t you? That means you need to identify and stop that unhealthy behavior right now!The good news is that you have something very important and exciting to look forward to - your prom. Start to focus on all the great feelings you will experience going to your prom. The whole excitement of this special event. Start to associate as many pleasurable sensations with this event as you can. And then use those great feelings to assist you in taking back control over those unhealthy behaviors.Now if there are any unpleasant feelings that come up when you think about going to the prom set up some kind of a word that eliminates those thoughts from your mind and replaces them with the pleasurable feelings. A word like stop works fine to stop the unpleasant thought and as soon as that happens slip in a thought that makes you feel good. This is a simple way to train your mind to go to thoughts that make you feel good and show your subconscious what it is that you want to focus on.This is a form of self hypnosis. You can get a free mini course on self hypnosis that will help you to stay on track with your weight loss goals and quickly take back control by checking out this site:http://www.hypnoticstate.com/hypnosis/lo��

How to lose weight with exercise? -

I gained too much weight last year and I immediately need to go on a diet. I know that exercise will be very beneficial; however, when I go to a fitness centre, I always gain weight because I eat more. Do you have any solutions for this problem? I definitely need to control my appetite but I don t know how. Moreover, which sport do you think provides a nice posture?Thanks in advance.

Diet and exercise is not enough. You need strength training. Strength training adds muscle, and muscle burns FAT.

You have cited a perfectly necessary element for success. CONTROL which requires discipline. Be consistent, work out AT LEAST 5 days a week and preferably 7. At least 30 minutes each day and intense enough to have the necessary target heartrate for burning fat. Use light to medium weights for toning. As for posture, I think rowing would be good and mid distance running. Done with proper form, you can t help but develop exceptional posture.

Hey, I am a personal trainer and this doesn t have to be to hard..Here is what I tell my clients when they are looking to start a diet.1. is it easy to follow2. will you starve - if so don t do it3. can you learn and implement it for life. - no get fit quick schemes!4. is it fun5. how will it fit into your life.Ask yourself all those before picking a diet. As for exercise, There is an endless array of things you can do. I offer free support from my website, where you can ask me questions, and so on.. I also will help you create a workout and diet program that will help you lose weight and be able to maintain it!Check out my site (the main page is geared to losing baby weight) but sign up for my free newsletter and I will give you tons of advice!http://www.thegetfitclub.com

i talked with my chiropractor who knows a ton about nutrition and diet. he educated me after i gave birth to my third child. what kinds of food are you eating? are you eating a lot of sugar and carbs? our body s cells are trained to burn sugar first, then fat. so if you re loading up on carbs, when you exercise, that s what you ll be burning. not the fat that you need to be burning. after having my baby, cutting out carbs really helped. stick to a meat and veggie diet for a while with your exercise program. when you get really hungry, make a good choice. don t run to get a bag of doritos and a mountain dew because that s what you re craving. eat something healthy like veggies with hummus, or some celery and peanutbutter. once you go through a detox phase of craving all the foods that you used to eat, you ll feel better and won t crave them any more. we eat tons of brown rice and black beans at our house. it s healthy, fills you up, and it s so good! if you re exercising and eating however you want, it s not going to give you the results that you want. so there s my advice :)i m not too sure about the sport thing...hope that helps!

most of the time its not how much you eat its what you eat that counts.if you eat healthy things after you workout youll be fine. Remember muscle weighs more than fat so when you exercise some weight gain is normal. To just tone and burn calories use light weights and do 10-15 reps for a set of 4. If you have more questions just email me at dman672003@yahoo.com.

Focus on a cardio-type program where you re pushing yourself and not just going to work in a gym. Output minus intake equals weight loss. There are no deep dark sectrets to it. If you, like many people, dislike running so much, then insure your gym has stationary bikes (join them in a program), courts, and a pool. This is why I like the YMCA, as many gyms are going strictly weights. Good luck and go get em.

atkins diet! go to atkins.com it s not hard or expensive. you basically eat mostly protein and you dont have to barely eat. oh, and running a couple miles at least everyday. it works! i lost 20 ibs already. it works! and if you can, have a fiber vitamin everyday.

How to lose weight? -

Okay I m wanting to lose weight but the trick is that, I have back problems from a recent car accident and am physical therapy so I was told all I am aloud to do as far as exercise is walk briskly to the point of having a difficult time talking (not much that I can do) he did say to work on my diet and that would help. What are some suggestions? And if your suggestions are to count anything, carbs, calories, etc... please tell me how to count exactly and what is a good range for me, I know you are probably thinking you just get a calculator and count but I mean like if it is calories where do I find it at, if it is carbs, etc... And some detail, I am 5 6 and weigh about 160 I go up and down depending on the day. So please any help would be great on diet or anyone who has had similar difficulties with their back and some exercises that maybe they were told to do(nothing to hard seeing as my DR. specifically said no to anything other then walking.) Thanks!

Hi, I had been in a similar situation except I had gained a ton of weight after a car accident and needed to get back to normal. While you are in PT I would suggest just doing the walking and whatever exercises they show you in PT to strengthen your back. After I had gotten to the point where I could go back to the gym I still needed something to help me eat better. I joined a fitness, nutrition, and motivation website with licensed coaches and nutritionist I lost 50 pounds. The website is www.sparkpeople.com. It is free and helps you figure out how many cals, carbs, fat, protein and whatever else you choose to count. It also takes into consideration health issues ex: diabetes, high blood pressure and such. It goes in stages and teaches you lifestyle changes to make that become permenant. A year later and I still have kept that 50 off. Check it out! I think you can email if you choose to inquire more about how it works and if you me to prove it with some pics I will.

Why dont you wear the dress!

There is a diet, which may help you lose weight. 90 days diet. Lasts for 90 days, surprisingly.There are four days, which you have to repeat over and over.Everyday: have fruits for breakfast. Any fruit you want.There must be two hours between breakfast and lunch.1st day: Protein day.Lunch Dinner: meat, fish, cheese, egg, yoghurt, cottage cheese, milk, etc. You can eat as much salad as you want with it.Only day you can drink milk.2nd day: Starch day.Lunch Dinner: (cooked) rice, potato, corn, beans, peas, etc. Salad is OK again.3rd day: CH day. (Favoutire of many!!)Lunch Dinner: Pasta, pizza, cookie, ice cream, cake, chocolate.4th day: Fruit day.Fruits and fruits all day long.After the fruit day, you do the protein again, and so on.After the end of the 90. day, when you finished the diet, you can eat normally, BUT for another 90 days, your breakfast can only be fruit.You know, the usual: drink a lot of water.The more you weigh, the more weight you lose. I lost 33 pounds and it didn t come back.I think it s a very lovely diet. I chose this because I didn t have time to work out.

I think we all know which foods are high in fat and should stay away from. It s mostly a matter of will power! You seem to have that! As far as a way to tone you abs, I would suggest an exercise machine that you can use while sitting. I had one called Abflex years ago and it worked wonders for me. best wishes!

throw up

walking is excellent exercise and all you really need to do for weight loss. as for how much of what to eat, that depends on your height, present weight, and age. use these sites to find out what you can do.

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc��. Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc��.YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!
