How to lose weight for summer? -

I really want to lose weight for bikini season. I walk everyday. I eat healthy. I do excercise. I weigh 120. I cant seem to lose weight.

If you are serious about losing weight, have a look at the list of sites.http://the-fast--weight-loss.blogspot.com/http://weight--loss-help.blogspot.com/Good luck :)

Weighing 120 isn t bad at all. If you eat healthy and walk everyday, then you should be in pretty good shape. If not then you shouldn t consume soda, make sure you get three meals a day, and include all the food groups in your daily intake, w/as little of the sweets food group as possible. I m about 5 2 and i weigh 120 and everyone tells me i look great.I m obviously not stick thin, but why would i want to be that skinny. -Lyd,

Watch your carbs, and exercise daily. Don t over do the exercise, it s not healthy. Ask your doctor for some further tips, or maybe get a personal trainer. Wii Fit is a fun game, that you can exercise with too! You might want to invest in that.Good Luck

I solved my weight problems. Read about my experience here http://www.acaiburns.net/

How to lose weight on my hips? -

Im seeing that im starting to get bigger hips and i don t want it to ruin my appearance so i want to start working out on it any suggestions.Thanks in advance.

Don t listen to her. While, it does happen, get on a good diet, not one of these stupid crash diets. Just eat lots of protein stay away from sugary drinks foods. Kick start your metabolism in the morning with a grapefruit (negative calories) or even just a glass orange juice. Get to where you eat 6 small meals a day rather than 3 huge meals. Your belly really has to do with what you eat. Do some ab workouts cardio remember, you are beautiful.

You can t target specific areas to lose weight, your body stores and loses fat in certain locations based on genetics. For some people it may be their hips, other their thighs. If you want to concentrate on a particular area you d have to get lyposuction.

liltexterdexter is actually a 220 pound bald guy living in his moms basement, pay no heed to him. Start jogging or biking (I suggest biking) everyday and you will lose any extra weight. Start slow and work your way up. Also big hips can be sexy, remember that :).

i dont see why... i think it is the sexiest thing in the world when a woman has big hips. be proud of them.bigger hips is going to tip guys off, instinctively, that you re a prime candidate for mating because it helps with child birth among other things.so yeah, dont worry about it, because its not really fixable... you re body s bones are actually widening out to help with passage of the baby you ll have one day.what you re complaining about is like complaining about getting bigger boobs.. it just doesnt make sense! be proud!!

Start lifting weights and doing cardio. Get a good diet and count your calories. Eat a lot of proteins. That s it.

theres no turning back now!

How to lose weight in your fingers? -

I ve put on weight lately, and a ring from my grandmother doesn t fit me anymore, I wear it on my right hand, but it will still fit my left hand, so it s only my right hand that needs toning lol, are there any hand excercises to make my fingers thinner?

no. you have to lose weight overall. thick fingers is a sign of good fortune and wealth in asian cultures. i have chubby fingers as well and even when im a size 2 they seem to be chubby.

There are hand exercises you can do. Try a soft rubber ball and squeeze it. Start out moderately and go slowly. When you feel pain the next day you are making gains. They also have various handgrip equipment available for hands.

Try the Lil Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr��

How to lose weight with out straving yourself? -

my weight is at less 145 at the most or maybe more. im just trin to loss weight in my stomach area and no where alse. I ve tryed straven myself but i get head aches, and i tryed a no starch but all fruit diet. But nothing so far will work because i tend to get sick for not eating like i usually do. Can you help me please?

After my first baby I ate less than 20 grams of fat a day.I would eat cereal with skim milk,yogurt,fat free cottage cheese on my salad instead of dressing,tuna or skinless chicken breast for my meat and lean cuisines.For a sweet tooth,fat free pudding,angelfood cake or devils food cookie cakes.I never did count calories just fat.And I of course exercised to tone up.I love to swim,it s a full body work out that doesn t feel like work.With a new baby it wasn t easy to go swimming so I would use a stair stepper and do crunches.In three months I was a size 5 and in six months I had a six pack and was a size 3.I m pregnant now and this will become my routine again.Hope this helps.

Hi there, I m certainly no expert but have read a great deal about how to lose weight in a healthy way. The first thing to remember is to be patient Rome was not built overnight when dieting and exercising to reduce weight. Don t believe these quick fix diet plans that promise to reduce weight practically overnight. No one wants to hear that it takes time to reduce but all good things come to those who are patient and set a goal and work at change. The key to losing weight is eat healthy and smaller portions - you must burn more calories than you take in. In other words get up and walk, run, lift weights, bike ....anything that moves your body more than you are doing right now. Do not expect to see change in your weight right away. Be patient but don t stop - it s a life time committment and a life style change that will bring you the results you want. I don t believe you can just lose your stomach without losing overall body weight. But you can target your stomach to flatten it with situps added to your current excersice plan and goal. But remember muscle weighs more than fat and if you begin now to workout using weights (if you cannot get to a gym use whatever is available - 3lb canned food works great to start with by lifting them in an arm curl, or overhead for your shoulders or by holdling while doing squats) you will see results. Just eat healthy but smaller portions - no fat - and up your movement more and more each day. You can do it but be patient when looking for results, it takes time. LP

Exercise everyday like jogging around the blockSkip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per dayDont eat until you re fullEat fruits at night if your hungry.Drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.There are more tips and info.there s a video on success fitness too.http://helpyourself.50webs.com

I lost a LOT of weight using this sites help:Try Ithttp://www.diet.wmsense.comHope This Info HelpsCheers

The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did....lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won t help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don t eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i m going pretty well if i don t say myself. 90 LBS isn t anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice. If you want anymore details, feel free to email me. ~Adia

To maintain a healthy lifestyle get in shape try this:Try making small changes, if you really love a certain food that is ok, just cut down your portions, you don t need to deprive yourself to be healthy.As for your overall diet try to cut down on your calories, eat lean protein, and whole grains - bread is not bad, so long as it is whole grain high in fiber, also eat your veggies drink lots of water. Also lean calcium products such as yogurt, low fat milk cheese fill up with low calories high nutrition content. Cut out saturated monosaturated fats excess sugarFor snacks I eat a lot of fruit veggies as snacks, baby carrots, snap peas, grape tomatoes, grapes, berries, peaches. I also love the Flat Earth veggie fruit chips, Quaker ranch rice cakes, popcorn, whole grain crackers, dark chocolate, blue diamond nut thins string cheese. These are all small snacks with low fat low calories.It is best to eat 1200-1500 calories per day, if you eat less than this your metabolism will slow down, making it harder to lose weight. NO fast food. don t drink empty calories, stick to water, low cal juices (I mix 100% juice w/25% water to lower calories) low fat milk. no soft drinks (diet or regular) no eating unless you are hungry!That being said, never underestimate the power of a good workout routine. In order to be healthy you MUST make time to exercise. Not exercising is not an option if you want to be healthy.Lots of Cardio weight training. do 30-45 minutes of strength training 3-4 times per week followed by 45-50 minutes of cardio 5-6 times per week. do your strength training 1st, it burns more calories. I also do loads of crunches prior to after cardio. Also walk more during the day. Take a walk on your lunch break, walk to the store, aim for 10,000 steps per day a pedometer is a great idea. The more active you are the more calories you will burn the more weight you will lose.To stay healthy not get discouraged remember this:It is not recommended that you lose more than 2-3 pounds per week. Rapid weight loss can be dangerous is hard to maintain. losing weight is difficult because 1 lb is 3500 calories, so you must burn 3500 calories per pound you want to lose. If you really want to lose the weight you are going to have to use discipline work hard. Your health is worth it!

Unfortunately there s really no way to lose weight from one specific area. The only way to make your waist smaller is to lose weight from your whole body. But don t starve yourself!! It ll only make matters worse in the long run. Just try cutting back some. For example, if you usually drink whole milk, try skim milk. Eat fewer snacks and sweets. Take a 15-minute walk every day. You ll see results soon enough!

go for a bike ride every day - to and from school or work?and cut your calorie intake down to 1600.if you keep this up, you ll lose about 1.5lbs of fat each week - the HEALTHY way.FYI, it s 3500 calories to a pound - in both losing and gaining.so for every 3500 excess calories you burn, you lose a pound.and for every 3500 excess calories you consume, you GAIN a pound.

How to lose weight for 11 year olds? -

Ok i am a 11 year old girl.I weigh 155 lbs and i am 5 ft.I need to lose weight can someone help me.To reach my goal of 100 lbs

You really should talk to your doctor about this, since you are so young, you want to make sure you lose weight in a healthy way. But, maybe give up regular soda, if you drink it, maybe give up a couple of the more unhealthy foods that you eat. Find a sport or exercise you enjoy, like riding your bike or ice skating.

Put down the video game and get outside, find some friends go walk around the mall, or take the dog for a walk, ride your bike more often. Important thing your still only eleven so don t get to worried about it, as you mature your body will start to burn it off but it is a good idea to give it help you sound a little large for your age and statue, so don t stress over it , get some exercise, go to bed earlier, and eat better foods, especially snacking choose the apple rather then kitkat.

go to site belowI Can Make You Thin by Paul McKennait will tell you how to eathow to not overeat how to feel good about yourself and be motivated to lose weight.you can sign in and watch the videos too.if in doubt. ask your parents if it s okay.it s all free.i think this is a very good site for young people who want to lose weight.good luck losing weight and have a great summer///and i agree with the other people who say don t drink sodas(if you do) because they are loaded with calories that really add to gaining weight. or just drink a little every now and then.

Congratulations on becoming proactive! You truly will be changing your future. Stick to non-starchy vegetables (mostly greens - no carrots), light proteins and lots of fresh water. Keep away from grain carbohydrates (bread, breaded somethings, muffins, cookies, bars, pizza, wraps, pasta, etc.) because they drive up your blood sugar and store as fat. Let me know if you need further help with this.

your goal should be about 105 cause that it is a healthy weight for your height. to lose it u should walk on a treadmill or do sit ups and push ups. if u dont have a treadmill go up and down stairs in ur house until u dont think u can do anymore. and eat little meals all through the day and drink a ton of water!!!!!!!!!

you try and join a soccer team that will also helo heart healthtell your mom or dad that you want to become healthier and ask them to do it with you.. its okay to snack on chips and cookies every once in a while but limit your self to one cookie or one handful... switch from white to wheat bread and also stay away from fruit juices they have alot of hidden sugar that is not natural... when eating ketchup dont have alot and no mayo!!! its all fat!!you and your family could also start walking together on the weekends

Studies show that people who drink milk tend to be slimmer, so start drinking 3 glasses of lowfat milk a day. Also make sure you drink 6-8 cups of water. I would start out slow, maybe walking or jogging 10 minutes a day. Gradually increase your time and pace as you go.

WOW!you sure have a LOT to work on!you need to stop eating the food that mom puts in front of YOU!eat some healthier foods, don t eat snacks in between meals, go EXERCISE Like walk a mile!11 years old and about 160 at 5 feet?

NO Juice or Soda , try to join a sport and eat lots of vegetables!

What are some tips on how to lose weight? -

I m only 15 and its hard for me to always eat right because i cant really buy my own food. so any suggestions for exercises or better eating habits?

1 Dietary control and exercise. It��s true what they say - all you need to do is watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It��s really that simple. You can quit reading this list now, you now know everything you need to know and didn��t need to fork over $500 for the privilege of me telling you the secret of losing weight. You don��t need to read a 4,000 page book, you don��t have to buy a tape series, you don��t need to stay up late at night to watch infomercials to understand this basic premise. It��s 100% true.2 Change your lifestyle. If you��re calling this a ��diet,�� then you��re going to gain all the weight back (and more) within a few months of losing it. Diets do not work. Diets are temporary. When you change your dietary lifestyle, however, you��re changing your habits - and you��re putting yourself on track for long-term / continued success and weight maintenance. Don��t ever tell anybody you��re on a diet - ever. I��m speaking from experience, here - a reformed low-carber. Worked out well for a while, but ultimately failed because my entire lifestyle didn��t change (permanently).3 Join an online support group. In my case, I created my own - FatBlasters. It��s essential that you not feel alone, and reaching out to friends (new or old) is typically a smart move. I just heard about PeetTrainer, but didn��t know about it when I began down the road to weight loss. You have to know that others are out there for moral support - they know things that you couldn��t possibly know, and they��ve probably been ��in your shoes�� at some point in the past (or present). Share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures - share them. There are thousands of communities out there, so keep looking until you find the one that fits you.4 Take before and after photos. I know it sucks to see yourself as a chunky monkey (sorry, that��s what I called myself - if only to get myself motivated to meet my weight loss goal). However, there��s no easier way to illustrate your progress. The ��after�� photos are far more fun to capture and share, admittedly. Find yourself on Flickr! It��s good to see yourself how others see you. Do you like how you look? In many ways, Flickr helped me lose weight.5 Hire a substitute teacher. Don��t reach for the brands you know and love immediately - or without thinking first. Eggs are ��good�� for you, but consider using egg substitutes instead (in fact, many restaurants will let you order lower calorie foods). There are countless ��lower�� alternatives for you to try. If something different doesn��t taste good, by all means - find a better substitute, or eat less of the original. In some cases, the substitute may be worse for you than the regular version of the product. The good news is, healthier choices are silently replacing their ��normal�� counterparts - and they taste just as nice.6 Start reading labels. I know it sucks, but you have to do it - and there��s no way to avoid this tip. If you don��t know what you��re putting in your mouth, you��re flying blind. Don��t assume, either - triple-check the ingredients list and serving sizes. You must rely on yourself for this; nobody else is going to be able to lose the weight or do the math for you. It��s not that complicated a task, but it will require effort. If nothing else, just pay attention to the calorie count.7 What��s so funny about bovines? If you like cheese, you must buy the Laughing Cow brand, and keep several of the suckers in stock at all times. The individually-wrapped wedges make for excellent snacks, and are wonderful when melted over just about anything edible. I��d be careful about straight-up American cheese, though - it��s oil, but not necessarily as good for you as (say) a slice of cheddar would be. I have yet to find something as calorie-light and filling as Laughing Cow (I don��t know how they do it).8 Tell your family. You��re not going to lose the weight alone, even if you ARE alone in losing the weight. If you��ve got a family at home, talk to them about it - initially, not incessantly. Let them know what you��re going to do, and that you want (and need) their support. If you don��t let them know, you��re running the risk of them inadvertently sabotaging your efforts. You want them to help you get to your goal(s). You want them to share in your happiness when you��ve made it past a certain mark. Who knows? Maybe some of your new habits will rub off on them and they��ll become healthier people, too?

Stop for a second. I m telling you this, and I know what I m talking about.People who think that losing weight alone is healthy are WRONG on so many levels! When you decide to lose weight, you should lose the extra pounds safely and in a healthy way. You don t want to end up with anorexia, bulimia, or any other eating disorders because inorganic supplements disrupted your body s normal processes instead of helping it get back on the healthy track.The Acai Berry weight loss pill helps you avoid that because it s both safe and organic. Not only is this product popular with mothers who choose organic supplements for their family but is also greatly popular with international celebrities and the Brazilian people. It is also an easy way to give your children the daily nutrients they need.Now I m not just saying this.The Acai berry is bursting with vital nutrients. It s consisted of 52.2 grams of carbohydrates, 8.1 grams of protein, and 44.2 grams of fiber forms for every 100 grams of the fruit s extract. It also has the highest antioxidant matter among organic and inorganic fruits alike.Best of all, it helps your body burn fat properly by speeding up your metabolism and improving your digestion and not by forcing your body to flush out whatever food you eat.So stop just thinking about it and take some massive action by ordering a free trial here: http://acaiberryselectformula.tk/

To lose one pound, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. Whew...that sounds impossible doesn t it? Here s how it works. Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Your BMR is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing, digestion, etc. Calculate your activity level. Use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lifting weights, etc. throughout the day. Keep track of how many calories you eat. Use a food journal to add up what you eat and drink during the day. If you re eating less calories than you re burning, you ll lose weight. You can start losing weight right now by making a few simple changes. If you can burn an extra 500 calories each day, you ll lose a pound a week and you won t even have to change your clothes. Try these ideas:Instead of.... Do this... Having an afternoon Coke Drink a glass of water. (calories saved: 97) Eating an Egg McMuffin Eat a small whole wheat bagel +1 tbls of peanut butter (calories saved: 185) Using your break to catch up on work or eat a snack Walk up and down a flight of stairs for 10 minutes (calories burned: 100) Hitting the snooze button Get up 10 minutes early and go for a brisk walk (calories burned: 100) Watching television after work Do 10 minutes of yoga (calories burned: 50) Total Calories Saved: 532 (based on a 140-lb person)Focusing on daily changes is the best way to reach your goals. No, you won t lose weight overnight but isn t it better to permanently change your life for the better? Say it with me: My Health Is More Important Than My Appearance. Repeat that 10 times a day and you re on your way to better health.

Main thing is to look at what you re eating. Cut out the most fattening things like cakes and cookies etc. If you like chocolate then buy plain or dark chocolate instead. Cut down on butter. Eat more vegetables. The thing to remember is you can eat the same amount of food but just eat more of the healthy stuff e.g. if you re having fries and salad with something then have less fries and more salad.You should never go hungry!! Just remember that you can eat as many fruit and vegetables as you want and not gain weight.

Step 1: Find out what your basal metabolic rate is. Go to: http://www.nowloss.com/how-to-lose-weigh�� Ignore the advertisements there. This is the amount of calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight.Step 2: Do you exercise? Do you exercise right? Exercising right means that you monitor your heart rate and make sure that you reach your target heart rate and maintain it for the longest period of time while exercising. You have two targets a fat burn zone and an cardiovascular zone. The fat burn is usually 60% of your maximum and is easier to achieve and maintain and if your goal is weight loss this is where you want to be. Just walking/excising is a good start but if you want to get the most out of your work out find out what your target range is. If you don t belong to a gym then I recommend the Polar Fitness F11 Heart Monitor Watch.Step 3: You need to decrease your caloric intake or increase the amount of calories your body uses in a day by 500 calories a day for a week to lose 1 pound. So you can decrease that basal number you got in step 1 by 500 calories and exercise very little(yes you still need to exercise). Or you can decrease it by 250 and exercise off 250 calories or any other combination. Remember that your basal number is the amount of calories you body needs to live. If your number were 2400 then your body burn 100 calories per hour. So if you walk for half an hour and burn 300, 50 of that is your basal.Step 4: Count your calories, it s not hard and you ll find out that you eat a lot of the same things on a daily basis so you won t have to research everything over and over again. Balance what you eat (equal parts carbs and protien whenever possible) . One of the best websites out there is one from the FDA. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/se��This database has almost every food on the planet counted and weighed. (Hint: they do a lot of their weights based on 100grams. If you put 0.28 in the serving size this equals 1 ounce). Get a reliable food scale, preferably digital. Weigh everything that you put in your mouth that is not prepackaged. You need to know what you��re eating and how much you��re eating. The number one mistake is eating healthy . Everyone thinks because it s healthy the portion isn t that important. A handful of peanuts is healthy and has nearly 250 calories! Eat enough calories and it won��t matter how healthy it is your going to gain weight. Great ideas for people on the go are: South Beach Cinnamon Raisin Cereal Bar(awesome snack, 150 calories, 10g of protein! 3g fiber you can not do better, also comes in Peanut Butter and Chocolate), Snickers Marathon Multi-Grain Crunch(Wal-Mart diet aid aisle), Snickers Marathon Protein Caramel Nut Rush(Wal-Mart diet aid aisle).Step 5: Balance! In what you eat. Make sure that you are eating Protein, Carbs, and Fiber in every meal. A great way to make sure you get the protein and fiber is Kelloggs Protein Water. It has only 30 calories but gives you 5g protein and 5g fiber for 20z. Go to Wal-mart they sell a 10 pack of the powder for ~$5.50. That way when you are eating a high carb food for a snack or meal you can still get the balance. Step 6: Smaller but more. Each smaller snacks more often instead of big meals. This really does work and will definately increase your metabolism. I eat a South Beach Cereal Bar every 2 hours all day then a good dinner. They keep me full and they taste pretty good. Caffiene is your friend. It is a natural appetite suppressant so have that cup of coffee!Step 7: Adjustments and Variety. If you are doing your best and losing weight but your starving, increase the amount of calories your giving yourself by 100-200 calories a day. Losing weight and starving are not good bedfellows. If you starve eventually you will crack and lose the battle. The more types of exercises you do the more weight you will lose. You will work more muscles and keep your body guessing.Step 8(optional): If you belong to a gym or have some free weights at home. Use them! Muscle takes up less space in your body than fat (pound for pound). A pound of fat sits around and does nothing all day, while a pound of muscle, even at rest burns calories(increasing your basal metabolic rate).Step 9: Sleep, Never underestimate the power of a goodnight sleep. Will power can crumble in a second if your going through your day tired. You end up with a diminished sense of self control and tend to ��give in�� to temptation.Step 10: Find a distraction. Read a book, Ride a bike, Play a game. Whatever takes your mind off of food, do it. You will need something that you can turn to in a moment of weakness. Something that will distract you for a half an hour so that your will can reassert itself and help you to make a rational decision.

I honestly believe if you eat six small meals a day it will speed your metobilism witch will lead to weight loss! ( but healthy meals of course ! ) and any kind of physical activity.
