well your legs are bulky because that s what there supposed to do if you run don t run as much start walking or sprinting it works to loose weight your 5 7 130lbs if your under the age of 35 that s the perfect weight for you.you will be under weight if you lost any more and that s just as bad as being over weight but Society don t tell you because it looks better to eat good eat fresh food no processed foods like hot dogs or pre made hamburgers portion 6 small meals a day so your metabolisum keeps going all say and not just 3x a day eat more fruit like straw berrys stay away from bananas except 1 a day they have a lot of sugar but u need 1 a day for potassium I hope I helpedGod Bless

At 5 7 and 130 lbs your legs are not bulky -- You are an athlete and fall into a different category so don t confuse weight gain with dress size. You are currently at a perfect athletic weight and size.Guessing you are already a size 0 or 2. What you are trying to accomplish is to go from athlete to Dieter -- and that s a 6 month leap backwards for most people. I would recommend run longer distances at a slower pace and avoid hills and running at no more than 70% of your heart rate -- basically baseline training to maintain endurance but not build muscle.

You need about 2,000 calories a day just to survive so if you cut that to 1,500 calories per day you would intake 3,500 less calories a week. There is 3,500 calories in 1 pound of fat. If you due cardio exercise on top of that you will burn more calories and gain minimal muscle mass. Just stay away from strength training if you want to not gain muscle. You never know though, once you lose the fat you may need to tone some muscle to fill out your shape.

intake less calories than your BMR (basal metabolic Rate) for weight loss) continue the cardio, but do not do anything high Impact! Sprinting,Jumping, stay away from exercises that creates resistance or fast twitch muscle Response, walk! Do 45 minute sessions to burn fat!you should eat five times a day, one half hour from waking up, then every three hours from there on. Have breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, with two samll snacks between. always have carb, fats, and protiens in every meal.

you can t exercise and not gain some muscle, that is just the way the body works. so you would have to really cut way down on your running. eat lean meats , whole grains fruits and veggies.

walking.it burns fat.

try the Little Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr�� it really works

i would said dont lift weights then

How to lose weight? -

this page has lots of different diets and exercise regimens you can try: www.ivillage.com best of luck :)

try tabooWHAT to eat for losing weight? Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.* Print these lists. They will be your ... Bible , from now on !* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.* Try eat mostly fresh vegs fruits (whenever possible, of course)* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.? Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!* Avoid fat meat? Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don t EVER exclude bread from your diet!? Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits* Don t cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! * EVEN if they have low fat indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!? About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!* Don t eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I m not a low carb addict, but I ve noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). if u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle burn . A gym is also an option, but I don t know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.That is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer Keep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hoursthe most important thing is you don t lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you wantyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.comgood luck

stop eating oily food. i reckon you are from kerala, where coconut oil is used more. exercise well. go for long walks

Sleeping really helps. So get more sleeping!

eat healthy and excerise. When that fails seek professional help

Diet and exercise. The only healthy way to do it.

do a lot of walking, eat healthy and work out 2-3 times a week for at least 30 min.

walking 30 min a day/ yoga (yoga for dummies is awesome) replace white stuff in your diet for whole wheat, even pasta(healthy harvest actually tastes good) eat small amounts more often. the thing that helped me was a book called the 5 day miracle diet it is not a diet really, because you eat a lot of food, you just eat healthier and eat the right stuff at the right time so that your blood sugar is not screwed up, and making you crave bad things! You eat protein+a whole wheat carb in the am, then have 2 fruit/veggie crunchy snacks before lunch. lunch is low fat protein+veggies salad, etc however much you want of the veggies/salad. 2 more snacks fruit/veggie of any kind except grapes before dinner. dinner you have type of combo as lunch, and once/twice a week you can have spaghetti/pizza, or whole wheat bread w/dinner. Once a week you eat something yummy that you love, but you still have to eat your snacks anyway! After 3 days I was not hungry after dinner at all, and this shocked me! Everything else I have tried I have been starving and tired!!! More details in the book, and its cheap!!! hope it helps! (:

Right...So i weigh 9.2 stones...That was the latest one.And i still feel fat! everyone says i look perfectly fine and no need to go on a diet but i still feel fat! I tried to lessen the food that i eat whether it is a healthy food or just plain junk.I am taking a contraceptive pill and i guess, this is the reason why i start feeling fat although people say i am getting skinny as i am not eating properly.When i checked my weight today (this morning), i am 9.9 stones and it really made me mad.Is there anything you can advise on how to lose weight?

it really depens on how tall you are, you can calculate your bmi here:http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.��try to eat 200-500 calories less than you usually do, put all your meals on small plates so you eat lessdon t drink pop or juice (unless the juice is 100% natural)

maybe a trip to the doctor a blood test could rule out problems like an underactive thyroid which would cause weight gain. hell also be able to advise you on your diet. as tyou get older your metabolism slows down so you could be eating the same but your body processes it slower. and if youre not doing any exercise then theres your problem. listen to youe trusted friends they will give you an honest opinion on how you look cause probably only 1% of the population actually see themselves as everybody else sees them. just most people arnt bothered or dont have the time to be bothered to spend worried about how they look.

It depends on your age, and considering you take the pill it could be fluid retention..My weight sometimes fluctuates because i carry a lot of excess water..Cut down on salt intake and perhaps try taking Aquaban fluid retention stabalisers in tablet form. They are good..Do gentle exercise and swim that should keep it down a little

2000 caleries and 10,000 steps and you will loose weight

stop putting it in your mouth

exercise 1 weeks 2 times.don t care what people say be yourself.don t always eat the junk food.don t make your food that u cook to many oil.i hope this way can make your weight down.

Going onto a strict diet never works for me, this past week i have just been cutting out junk ffod such as crisps and chocolate and stopped eating before 7pm because your body doesnt burn as much fat late in the evening.Drink green tea and plenty of water, cut down your portion sizes and wight down some motivational tips in your diary and take alook at it everytime you feel like munchin on a choccy bar.This week i have lost 5lbs and that makes me more determined to loose more.You can do it - good luck.

exercise regurlarly,skip your meals, eat 2 times per day rather than 3if you hungry at night eat fruits to fill you stomach.drink lots of water.stop all fast food chocolate and candiesmore info on this site.

How can I lose weight? -

I m 5 10 240lb,19 year old male and was wondering how to lose weight. I m not fat fat.. but I do have a tummy, which I m trying to get rid of it. I stopped drinking sodas and other junk foods, for at least 2months, but for some reason i cant stop the eating bread(Eastern European traditional foods) :0.

Just cut down the food, I know it might be hard but you can do it! I went trough days without swallowing a single thing and I m still here standing. Exercise a lot, eat celery, cucumbers, drink water, sleep more (to speed up your methabolism). Hope it helps!x

cardio and lift weights.

My friend was about your size before he lost 50 lbs. He exercised rigorously for about 2 hours a day, ate egg whites for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a very light dinner, sometimes a BLT sandwich to lose weight.

How to lose weight fast from a 200lbs to a 130lbs im 14? -

Increase your heard rate. It burns calories. Any way you want. Play DDR, do a sprint every 15 minutes, start dancing in your room with the cheesiest moves ever, laugh a lot, take long walks.Also, no more fizzy sugar waters. No sodas

I would try this workout. At the same time you will be gaining muscule and burning fat. So its awesome. WHAT YOU LL NEED: Two 5 pounds weights.* means one 5 pound weight in each hand.If you don t have two 5 pound weights try using water bottles full of water.Workout:Stretch*20 Bench Press x3 20 squats x3*20 side arm lifts x320 crunches x320 push-ups x3*20 lunges x320 leg lifts x3Walk for 30 minsStretchStretching before your workout helps you not to pull a muscule during your workout.Stretching after your workout helps you not be AS sore afterward. I try to do this everyday, but I m sure you would get results doing this only 2-4 days a week. I recomend everyday.Eat 1500 calories a day and drink 8 glasses of water daily.You will lose weight and tone up!I ve lost 6 pounds and I ve only been doing it for a week!You can do it! i know you can!You will be sore. and it will hurt but you can do it.Don t be scared to add more excercises of more reps.Hope this works for you!

Lower your salt intakeWhen thirsty..just drink water..No sodasNo chipsNo cookies, cakes, candies, chocolateAdd brown rice, veggies and protein to the foods that you eat.Stay away from white bread..Lower your potato intakeDo at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a weekTake the stairs.You will definitely lose weight quickly.

Eat less and exercise more. I lost 5 lbs by eating healthy and drinking only water.

How to lose weight in a month? -

No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren t are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck!
