Ladies! Did you lose weight faster when you added weight training? -

I ve been struggling many years to get rid of this last 20 pounds. I lost about 80 lbs doing cardio everyday...and then a combination of settling with what I had achieved mixed with a serious plateau occurred. It s lasted a few years now!! I continue cardio...but the past few weeks I ve added about 2 nights of 40 minute toning workouts. Lunges, squats, etc...should I expect to see a difference soon? What do you think? I need encouragement I guess, hahaha...

Weight training is excellent for women. (it even prevents osteoporosis) Just remember......muscle weighs more than fat, but takes up less space. I don t measure my fitness progress by weighing myself. I pay attention to how my clothes fit and how I look in the mirror.If you need some hard numbers to measure your progress use a tape measure.Also, since weight training builds muscle, it also increases the metabolism. ALL women should get some resistance training into their routine. (I like to think of it as body shaping because toning your muscles through weight training can literally reshape your body)-

yesA good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watchKeep to a 1,200 food intakeAdd 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn t seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

cardio will get rid of the fat its the best! 20 mins 5 days a week is fine, some weight training is good but it increases your muscle mass therefore when you look on the scales there may be an increase in your weight. You need a light weight training program for a toned look, (but not too much, think madonna arms eeek) at this tage I would consult a gym instructor as your body has changed and is ready for a totally new routine. Go for it I admire your commitment!

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to http://www.justlonline.info and order you free trial, also you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling. Good luck!

How do you lose weight fast? -

I m totally huge and I want to feel better about myself by losing as much weight as possible as fast as possible

i advise you to drink green tea 1-3 glasses per day green tea speeds up your metabolismdrink lots and lots of water 8 glasses each day.do not snackdo not eat 6 meals a day, try to only eat 3if you are really hungry and you ve had all your daily meals snack on fruits ( oranges, apples, bananas )exercise more try and run for at least 30 minutes a dayget more active eg: instead of asking your mom to pass you the remote control get it your self it does count as extra exerciseget more sleep it prepares your bodystretch, yes it works and it doesn t just help you lose weight it helps with you re growing to make you a little tallercount your calories try to stay under the amount of 1300 calories per daychange you re lifestyle it makes a differencedo not eat candy or chips eat more greens or protein barsavoid fast food and cut out fried food tell you re mom when she cooks you re meal to oven cook you re food do not fry itchew gum because when you chew gum you do not pick at food for example if theres some chips in you re cupboard you go to them a think good damn they look good then you would say no i cant pick at them because i dont wanna throw my gum awaydo not eat after 6pm because before 6pm you can burn all you re food off and if you eat after six it will lay on you re stomach as you eat.do not eat before you go to sleepdrink a glass of water before you go to sleepdrink plain hot kettle water because it speeds up you re metabolismdo not weigh you re self everyday because it torments you,weight you re self once a week ( every Monday )good luck! 3you can safley lose 2 to 3 lbs. a weekalso for abs try, lay on your back, put your hand over your head on the floor you can even hold on to something heavy to keep you down and then lift your legs up and down it burns but it works really good!

Well to answer your question it would take ime but here is a workout or thing that might help :1)Stop eating and excercise intensely. (time consumed: about a week, maybe)2) Dehydrate yourself. Do not drink any water, and you can lose up to 10 pounds (time consumed: a day or two)3) Get lipo-suction (time consumed: idk, i guess a few hours)4) Cut off a limb. (time consumed: instantaneous)Go to: Http://weight-loss-fast.info/index.php?option=com_content task=view id=204 Itemid=62

Honestly you could drink a lot of prune juice or use one of those body flush products, and you could lose A LOT of weight really fast.... mainly because you will be going to the bathroom A LOT, so everything you ate right before or eat while doing this will go right out if you know what i mean. BUT!!! BEWARE!!! you will gain the weight right back, and you will be losing A LOT of liquid weight so your might look great in an outfit, but you will be very dehydrated, might have bad stomach cramps (from going so much) and overall might look kinda sick in the face to others Soooooo yea.. thats the honest truth!:)

Drink lots of water, and eat fruits and vegetables (except coconut and bananas, as these are fatty). Drink skim milk and eat fat-free and sugar-free bread. Eat fish rather than meat. If you must eat meat, turkey and chicken are lower in fat than beef and pork. Egg whites are also a good source of protein. The best way to lose weight is by cutting fatty foods out of your diet (meat, fried foods, potato chips, etc.). Always read the fat content on packaging and avoid foods containing saturated fat or trans fat. It s good to replace sugary beverages with water, skim milk, or fruit juice. If you decide to stop eating meat, you can replace the lost protein with fish, skim milk, and egg whites. Exercise helps too, as does getting sufficient sleep (sleep is good for getting foods out of your digestive tract faster, and increases your metabolism during the day). Fruit juice provides quick and natural energy.

Well, first off, losing a lot of weight in a short period of time is very unhealthy for the body, not to mention, it s not as effective as doing slowly over a long period of time. Try to track what you eat daily and exercise.

I lost over 70 pounds in 4 months and have kept it off for 2 years by doing Dance Dance Revolution and eating 5 or 6 meals a day that average between 200-300 calories. If I eat more than that in one meal I get on DDR right away and burn it off. If I go out to eat, I come home and do DDR until I ve burned the extra calories. I don t delay the work that I need to do to keep the calories at the proper net level. (That is calories eaten after deducting exercise calories)I have put a lot of effort into learning what most foods I encounter contain in calories and fats. I m very confident in my judgment of foods because of this.My net calorie total is 1300 per day. If I eat 2200 calories in one day, which I rarely do anymore I make sure my calorie counter says I ve burned at least 900 calories. I jog about 10 miles a day and I have great energy.

You know it s interesting, I was in your same situation about 3 months ago (during Christmas time), and it wasnt until a friend told me about http://www.findhowtoloseweightfast.com that I was able to get a solid answer! Basically a group of people are reviewing all the different weight loss methods that ARE working, from herbal supplements to diet strategies. My mom (who is in her late 50s) lost about 20lbs over the last 2 months through a diet plan they recommended. I lost 45lbs!! Of course I cheated and went the herbal supplement pill route, but I chose the same one Oprah now uses, so to each their own right :)Good luck either way! Tons of information to success out there!

How can I lose weight fast? (Im over weight :S)? -

Well I went to my doctor, and he told me that I m 30 pounds over weight, and that for the sake of my health, I need to loose weight. The thing is that I want some advice on how to lose weight fast, like do s and dont s, and anyhting else....thanks :D

I do know that it is healthier to lose weight at a slow and steady rate, rather than really fast. Stay away from fad diets, because they can be unhealthy and it is hard to keep the weight off.

Maybe you could join a gym. Get some friends to join with you so you can have some motivation.

Try ali it seems to be workinq for me i lost 5 pds in 1 mth and

run, jog, walk around a park

Hop on a exercising bike do 8 second of fast work and 12 seconds of moderate. Repeat for 20 min. Women who do this loose more weight from their legs and butt, then women who ride at a moderate pace for 40 min. Do this 5-6 days per week. Keep calories between 1450-1500 per day(healthy calories) Drink lots of water. You can replace this occasionally with cardio and overall stay active during the day and get AT LEAST! 8 hours of sleep. Also keep stress down the absolute best that you can.I did this and I lost 10 lbs. in about 3 weeks, and I look great and I m SO proud of my self! :-)

Don t starve yourself. If you want to lose weight, eat a diet consisting of only fish, egg whites, skim milk, fruits, vegetables, and fat-free bread for a number of months. Avoid saturated fats especially. It s also good to avoid processed sugar. Get lots of sleep, as this is good for digestion, and increases metabolism during the day. It s also good to get a moderate to high amount of exercise.

Weight watchers. I personally do not know anyone who does it but have seen a lot of people on here who say they know someone who did it and it s great!! You can still eat what you like... I don t know much about it, but it is a healthy (maybe slow but still healthy) way to lose weight.

you should involve in frequent physical exercise,quantity of your daily food reduced and try to aviod too much sleep.

damn

Like stop eating duh!

You can try drink Green Tea. Green tea works by removing extra bowels movement out of your system. Also along with a healthy diet and exercise such as running/situps would help. I hope this helps xD.

The best thing you can do is go to NowLoss.com - the hompage lays outa 7 step plan on ho to lose weight fast and the guy there will help you lose 30 pounds fast

Well i lose weight fast if i only ate fruits, veggies and lean meats? -

i exercise a lot everyday too

Possibly. But fruits can be high in sugar, which is just as bad as eating carbs. You are also missing dairy products. I think you are best to stick with what you have but maybe substitute low fat yogurt for one of the fruits and add some whole grains. Watch your portions and I think you will be fine!

yea u will but also watch your fruit its high in sugar

You won t get all your nutrients, but you will lose weight..

Eat only organic meat, poultry fishOne of the reasons you are overweight is because of the growth hormone put in meat and poultry. If you want to lose weight, eat as much meat and poultry as you like as long as it is organic, grass fed, kosher, and most importantly, has not been given growth hormone. The fish you eat should not be farm raised. For more proven tips on how to lose weight check my site there is a link to it in my profile.

Yeah you deffinetly will! but youll also crave bread like crazy!! So you might as well incorporate a little wheat bread or something so you dont binge on twinkies or pasta.

yes. you will. you would probably be much healthier as well. things like bread, rice, and other carbohydrate rich food do nothing but provide energy. not very many nutrients at all. not only that but if you dont use that energy then its stored as ugly fat.you should save your appetite for things that are good for you. make sure you get your calcium as well. things like milk and cheese are good in moderation. sweet potatoes are very healthly as well, but also in moderation. eat things like apples, bananas, celery, steak, baked chicken, carrots, grapes, you get the idea. all in moderation though. fruits are very healthy for you since they have much needed vitamins and antioxidants, but they also have very healthy sugars in them, but just like any other sugar it gets turned into fat if you eat too much of them. you want to keep diversity in your food as well to ensure you get all your much needed vitamins and minerals. take a multivitamin every day anyway just in case.

Of course go for it girl. Watch the bread and rice though.

It s hard to go wrong with all natural whole foods. If you are indeed consuming whole natural fruits, veggies and lean meats, it s a definite step in the right direction. Watch the fruit consumption for weight loss - most of your carbs should come from veggies, legumes and real whole grains (not breads or cereals but items like whole oatmeal, barley, brown rice, etc). Don t neglect fats as you ll need 20% or more of your daily caloric intake from healthy fats. Eliminating fats will significantly reduce hormone production, speed fat gain and even increase bad cholesterol levels.As you seem to have some grasp on, there s a lot more to a healthy diet than calorie in v. calorie out, what you consume, how often, portion levels and ratio of macronutrients are all equally valid considerations.

How do i lose weight, FAST?!? -

This Sat. i have a dance that i need to go to. My friend and i are switching dresses and her dress is tight, how do i lose weight and fast?! i ll do anything. HELP!!

Here s some weight loss tip s:- Exercise 6 to 7 days a week.- And try to break your workout into two different sessions, this gives your metabolism a jolt.- Drink 6 to 8 cups of water a day. And try to drink ice cold water, it burns more calories.- Take enough vitamins, especially ones that promote weight loss (such as 1800 mg. of Fish Oil, Vitamin B Complex, Co-enzyme Q-10, ect. Do your research).- Drink green tea or take green tea pills ( it s been shown to speed up your metabolism).- For your metabolism s sake, eat within 1 hour of waking up and don t eat 3 hours before you go to bed.- Try a vegan or vegetarian diet (it worked for me :D).- Drink 12 oz. of warm lemon water (use the juice of 1/2 a lemon) with a little sea salt every morning. This will detoxify your body and make your skin look amazing.- Or, if giving up meat just isn t your thing, just count calories. Try to have around 1200 a day.- Try to avoid white, bleached, or enriched flour.- Stay away from high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils.- Eat every 2 to 4 hours to keep your metabolism going.- Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism up.- Try to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. When your body is deprived of sleep your appiteite increases by 15%.- Sugar and artificial sweeteners are the devil. If you have a sweet tooth, grab some fruit.- Avoid all junk food, fast food, and fried food.- Try only drinking water, tea, and black coffee. There are so many hidden calories in drinks.- Eat whole grain foods and healthy fats (like olives, avacados, nuts, ect) and stay away from refined or bad carbs

I need to lose weight....FAST? -

I m sick of looking in the mirror and seeing an oompa loompa. My sister is PIN THIN, literally. Everytime I stand next to her, i feel like an elephant. I ve tried the South Beach Diet but I was sick of eating the same thing over and over and over again. I try to exercise, but it has NO effect on me what so ever. I have not worn a bikini EVER because I have also had a weight problem. PLEASE SOMEONE... tell me how i can lose weight FAST.

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me. Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!http://www.calorieking.comA sight with some really cool diet calculators and interesting calorie counting calculators is here. Check it out.http://www.caloriesperhour.com/Check out my before and after pic at my yahoo 360 pagehttp://profiles.yahoo.com/gorillamykeStay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk. Good LUCK!

Here s a secret... join the military, sweetie. I lost like 55 pounds in 3 months when I got conscripted 4 years ago. But of course, gained almost 90 pounds since then. I am out of the army but I have been practising some daily regimes that seem to work for the past week. I am also trying to lose weight faster and get back in shape. Came across this website http://www.fairyhand.com few days back. There are a few interesting resources available.Kinda interested in the weight loss hypnosis. (I m really lazy to exercise)

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 17 inches in 9 days and then 28 pounds in about a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc��. These toxins enter our bodies and get coated with fat. To remove the extra fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. I lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks and I feel great. My skin has improved as well from the cleansing. You can get more info at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647. I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Give it a try and good luck! http://losebigweight.com

First thing is to get the fast out of your thinking. Next you need to eat right. Eat lots of protein, lots of veggies, eat some but not alot of bread or carbs, and drink lots of water. Also cut out sugar as much as you can....No sodas or fruit juice ever (loaded with sugar). You must do some physical activity everday...Never just sit inside or or do nothing all day. Run, walk, swim, ride a bike anything is better than sitting still. If it s raining go somewhere and walk or clean your room. Hope this helps and good luck....

How can a teen lose weight fast and easy with straving your self? -

teens having weight loss problems.

ask ur parents to take u to a gym trainer or a dietitician...that is ur best solution

i should Report Abuse

Starvation diets don t work. The minute you start eating again, you will likely be even heavier (because your metabolism is running slower than ever. and despite what you think- you WILL start eating normally again), AND that weight will become even harder to lose later because you lose muscle (the body feeds off muscle tissue when you don t eat for energy). Its a no-win situation. Theres simply no way around it - you MUST eat right and exercise to lose weight. If you don t know how- heres a website that I use on a daily basis for tips and motivation:www.webmd.com

the book, the diet for teenagers only really helps

You have to diet and excercise. Diet is 80% of losing weight. But dont think you dont have to excercise either. There are many diet books out there. I suggest you purchase one that gives you lists and recipes of good healthy food that you can cook.Good Luck!
