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!

I would like to lose weight fast, any suggestions? -

I m planning a trip out to Mexico, I have 2-2 1/2 months to lose weight, I know it wakes time to lose it so I m not planning to do it at the last minute. I m playing lots of DDR and eating a lot less junk. Is there a fruit or a type of food that may have a type of protein that speeds up the metabolism? Or any tricks you may know? Let me in on this please!

Exercise more. DDR is an ok way to lose weight but you d have to play A LOT of it to lose a significant amount of weight. How much do you want to lose? If it s over 10 pounds you probably need to do more than the DDR. Trying joining a gym or running outside for an hour or more a day. If it s under 10 pounds I guess keep doing what your doing. I ve tried the DDR to lose weight before and it helped a bit but not a huge amount. Stay away from all treats, junk food and pop and that s cutting down on a lot of weight right there. Drinking a lot of water helps fill some of your hunger cravings and chewing gum works too.Two tricks I do to not eat as much is:1) Eat slowly. It takes a little while for you re brain to register that you re full. Eat more slowly so you don t over eat.2) Drink one glass of milk before eating meals. It ll help fill your stomach so you won t eat as much as you normally would have.Hope this helps, good luck!

Spicy foods especially cayenne pepper helps speed up metabolism. Working out raises your metabolism which is why you re so hungry after a good workout, I think it s good to eat after a workout as opposed to before so that you re eating while your metabolism is higher. Meat, eggs, and nuts are high in protein. Also try morningstar foods, the meat tastes the same but it isn t meat, it s made with soy. They have corn dogs and other stuff, and it pretty much tastes the same but is way better for you. If you re cutting out a lot of food, definitely take some vitamins every day.

How can i lose weight fast???????????? -

im 12 i weight 96 i run 4 miles a week and my hight is 5 3 any healthy tips?????///

Hey, girl. You don t need to lose any weight, you are perfect the way you are!If you are very unpleased by the way that you look i would try to tone up instead of losing weight. If you were to lose weight, you would most likely lose it in your butt and boobs.Lauren 3

uhm, do dance and soccer. it helps you get in shape. im 12, 70 pounds, 5 1 . thats what helped me. or you could do a lot of excercising

You are wayyy wayy to thin for your height and age. I am 14, 4 11 and I m 100 pounds, and I m normal. Go to a doctor and make sure you aren t having eating disorders. Fatten yourself up, you aren t fat at all! Don t lose weight!

If you are 5 3 and you weight 96 pounds you are way to thin

Try to get more information on dieting, weight loss articles, health and fitness articles, weight loss forum and BMI calculator at my profile and get the advise from them to lose weight fast and healthy.

Of course, bone structure has a lot to do with it, but if you were of average skeletal build, you should weigh 115. Don t lose any weight - it s not good for you. You can put on muscle, though. That would be good for you. In which case, you would need more exercise than 4 miles a week. You need at LEAST 30 minutes of cardio every other day, plus weight training.

How can i lose weight fast? -

Im 15 and i weigh 130 but im 5 4 . and i want to lose weight before school starts again. i would like to lose 15 or 20 lbs. can you help?

i am just like you. and when i ask these question i hate the answers like these well its tough etc. ima give you actualy advice on what to eat and what excercise to do : )01. snacks are just as important as meals. 4-5 snack a day will help fight off hunger so you wont eat as much when you are eating a meal. Snacks could be 50 goldfish s(50-100 calories,which isnt alot for a tastey snack) or apples(its the BEST snack you can ever have) i promise ! or any other fruits. trail mix is okay too, but in my opinion, they taste like crap...or mixed nuts. for meals, try eating whole grain cereal with nonfat milk. (it sounds brutal but nonfat milk isnt that bad and honeynut cheerios arent bad either) Or 1 or 2 eggs. You can also cook veggies you like in water NEVER oil. and eat that for a meal. You can put spices on it to make it taste better. Coffee in the morning is good, it helps fight off hunger and dont drink starbucks or anything, make your own coffe at home ! the ones you buy in stores are FAAAT. Drink milk, WATER, orange juice because its something you can taste, it isnt fat, its good for you, and it helps fight off hunger.02. Dont bother doing crunches or anything. Just do some exercises that involves your whole body (cardio) the BEST thing you can do, which im going to start doing once i buy my swimsuit, is swimming ! its fun and you dont sweat. So you wont get zits =) and its a GREEAT way to slim down and work your muscles without bulking up. Running is also great. You can jog for 20 min. a day. And swim 30 laps 4 times a week. Or if your rlly committed do both everyday. 03. You need inspration, picture yourself and what you would look like 20 pounds thinner, how much better you ll feel walking around with your skinnier friends. How much better you ll feel about yourself. Or get a picture of someone with a body you like, and put it up on your wall. And once you acheived your goal, you can finally take it off and throw it in the trashcan : ) or make a videoblog about your progress.im the same height i weight the same, so i hope we can both achieve our dreams in loosing 20 pounds by the end of summer ! its DEFIN. possible, and its NOT unhealthy if you do it my way and take my advice. And dont get pressured trying to follow the rules. Just dont think about food. And eat healthy stuff when you feel hungry. And exercise. the weight will naturally come off. Because cutting off the fat food is already letting you loose weight ! good luck !!

Whats the quickest and safest way to lose weight? -

I would like to lose weight fast without having to become anorexic does anyone have any tried solustions that will work fast

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��

How can i lose weight fast ? -

im 14 5 6 and i weight around 155 .im a little over weight.i dont look horribly fat but i got quite the belly.how can i lose around 10-30 pounds in 2 weeks ?my grade 9 grad is in 2 weeks and i wanna look my best .please help.

Well, its practically impossible to lose 10-30 pounds in just 2 weeks. Losing weight needs time. Its not so easy that you work hard for 2 weeks and become thin. It will take few months to lose 20 pounds. As of now, eat healthy food and play some outdoor sports. That s all i can say for your age.

well it s kinda impossible to lose that much that quick. I would suggest getting something to wear for grad that looks great on you, like a special cut that slims your body a bit. I think a big thing is to lose the candy and other unnecessary sugary food/drinks. Fruit juices aren t that good for you and have almost as much sugar as soda. Drink water and eat fruits that you like when you re hungry. Be active everyday. join a sport you like, or just dance to music you like. good luck =].

U can lose around 2 lbs in two weeks. Make a begining and have patience.Eat well but only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. To have more satisfaction out of ur food, Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will also activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals. Do not go on fast or starvation diet.Nothing other than water in between. No special diet, call it by any name or program helps as one cannot adopt them on permanent basis. Diet pills are chemicals and per se bad and shud be avoided unless the doc considers it necessary looking at ur condition.Take light exercises and brisk walks for 30 min.regularly preferably on empty stomach and twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time and hassle free. Be patient and not in a hurry. U cannot choose spots for reduction.This schedule can be adopted on permanent basis to lead a healthy life and maintain weight.

I just started doing tae bo about 2 weeks ago i want from a size 20 to 18 .. good luck =)

How can i lose weight fast? -

remember i am only 14 yrs old so i need a quick and easy way to lose weight i dont care what just give me anything good or anything u know that works great i already lift 100lbs every day 100x but i need to do more what should i do?

the only way to lose weight healthy is by eating a little less and exercising a little more.

Do not attempt dieting. Try to eat light and many meals everyday, like 5-8 meals. Remember to eat breakfast (but do not eat heavy meals) because you will eat more the next meal if you try to diet. This will result in you getting even fatter.Do more exercise :) It always works.

read tips on weight loss and exercise programs on this site

excercising and eating right are the best ways, especially if your 14 because you re still growing, and everything you do now WILL effect you later, losing two lbs a week is a HEALTHY rate, so i wouldnt try to lose more than that, but if you want to excersise more i would do more cardio like jogging and swimming, aerobics etc.. lifting weights adds muscle mass and muscle actually wieghs more than fat, so by lifting weights you re actually adding mass to yourself if would lift weights only 3 times a week especially because you dont want to ruin your muscles by overworking them

Well kiddo! Your at the prime age to become big and strong. I m gonna give you a few different tips for different things you mentioned. To lose weight- drink water, watch carbs, run run run. If you run on a machine the count calories and just add them up thru out the week. 2,000 calories = 1 bound hard to lose fat. If no machine, run 30 min to speed up heart rate. Now, if you want to be big and strong like these body builders- eat protein and drink protein shakes. Whey protein to be specific. This packs on muscle if you work out corretcly. My husband does steak and burgers, summer sausage, hot dogs, tuna, ect. Fish is actually the healthiest tho. Good luck!

To lose weight, a person has to reduce the calorie intake by some amount by modifying their diet. A diet without sufficient nutrients will only increase the appetite of the person trying to lose weight. Since most people combine a diet with an exercise plan, additional nutrients are required for the growth of muscles required to increase the metabolic rate required for long term weight loss.

Remember that what the scale says, especially when you are lifting weight is going to be higher. You should be burning fat if you are lifting weights, the scale just may not show it. It seems that you like to exercise. Go for a jog, or do exercise that makes you sweat. Just imagine that your sweat is fat melting off. If you work as hard as you can it melts off, and it happens fairly quickly. You should NOT be worried about weight at your age. At your age teenagers are probably being hard on you for some reason, or whatever. Please take care of yourself. You cannot live your life for everyone else. Take your time, and take care of your health.

Throw up after every meal. Or try crack. Ever seen a crack whore? They re always skinny..
