I just want to lose weight because I feel like Im too muscular in my legs.... Thanks in advance!

Green Tea Helps Alot.

well you are trying to lose muscle!stop doing your muscle workouts!the muscle will then turn to fatand then you will have to lose the fat!if i were you i would stick to muscular legsbetter than flabby ones!

not eat junk

Step 1:First of all cut back on sweetened soda and juice... these drinks have a lot of calories and the calories .Step 2:Cut back on breads and rice,carbohydrates. they have a lot of sugar which in turn can turn to fat plus they don t keep you filled as long.... eat foods high in protien and fiber... meats, greens, protien bars... high fiber bread.Step 3:the next key is exercise.. Start a walking club at work.... if you walk during your luncg break even if it is a 20 minute walk that adds up during the end of the week. get a wal in on the weekend or go to the gym a little here and there will make a difference over time . a few minor changes will really make a difference.

How to lose weight......?? -

How,if possible, would I lose weight from my thighs/butt. I m not over weight but these areas have some fat that I do not like :(. Any advice?

Unfortunately you cannot spot reduce. You can exercise more to improve the muscle tone in your thighs and butt - running, squats, lunges, weight training generally. 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. 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��

You must eat healthy and exersise- its the only way to sucess. Cardio (cardiovascular) exersise is the absolute best way of burning fat. Cardio simply means that you are working and moving fast, and that increses your heart rate.1. RunningRunning is one of best activities you can do. It doesn t require special equipment (except some quality shoes) and you can do it anywhere. Best of all, you burn serious calories, especially if you add hills and sprints. A 145-lb person can burn 300 (at 5.2 mph) in 30 minutes. The downside is, it takes lots of practice and you should watch your knees and ankles for any discomfort or pain.2. Jump ropeA simple exersise and is incredible. It can burn 700 calories an hour and has a great impact on physical fitness.3. SwimmingSwimming, like cross-country skiing, is a full body exercise. The more body parts you involve in your workout, the more calories you ll burn. Spend 30 minutes doing the breastroke and you ll burn almost 400 calories. Best of all, your joints are fully supported so you don t have to worry about high-impact injuries. It s also great cross-training for other cardio activities.4. Step AerobicsStep aerobics has yet to lose its luster for many gym-goers and it s a good thing. Step is one tough workout that targets your legs, butt and hips while burning almost 400 calories in 30 minutes (during high intensity sessions). Though it might look complicated, step is easy to learn if you start with a beginner class or video.I would do a cardio exersise. 5 times a week and set aside one day for strength because the stronger you are, the more calories you burn. Do light weights and sittups.Good luck and lose weight.

Cardio. Its hard to lose weight in a certain area. Almost impossible.

play a sport like footballor soccersomething that involves running and burning calories

Hey im 13 and i want to know how to lose weight? -

i recently gained 5 pounds!i have alwayssss been skinny and its killing me does anyone have any tips. i gained it on top of my stomach. please thankyou!!!!

its not that hard to loose 5 pounds. all you need to do is crunches. not sit up but crunches. you lay down like you are going to do a sit up. you just use you upper abs you lift your upper body up 2 inches or so.

play sports, exercise ok this is what i doi do 50 pushups, situps, leg lifts, and 50 jumping jacks after i wake up and before i go to sleep. and what i do to gain more muscle is eat a lot of peanut butter or peanuts, chicken, and oatmeal then i run about an hour later to get the carbs off. i hope this helps o yeah im 13 too so it should work for you

How to lose weight fast? -

How do I lose upper arm fat? I need to do it in about two and a half weeks, if possible. Please don t give any answers like You lose weight overall, it s impossible to lose just arm weight, etc.

You don t wan those answers because it is the truthI go onto these websites for exercises, they even have photos showing you how to do them properly :)http://www.changingshape.com/exercise/di��http://www.shapefit.com/

But you do have to lose weight overall. You can do bicep exercises I guess to tone and tighten your upper arms. It will also turn some of that fat into muscle. Try doing a bunch of bicep curls and any other exercise that works the arms. Don t expect to see significant changes in 2.5 weeks.

It s not what you want to hear, but when you lose weight, you lose it overall. If you only exercise your arms, they will only gain more muscle.It is also a bad idea to try to lose weight quickly. You can really do harm if you overexert yourself. Take things gradually! There is no secret method to losing weight; the best way is good old fashioned diet and exercise. Good luck!

Lift medium/heavy things up around your house. That s what I do and it does work over time. Dieting can help too. It doesn t have to be this super strict diet either. The main way to loose weight is too stop eating 2 hours before you go to bed.

dont eat, or eat under 500 calories a day, it works rly good for things like two weeks and stuff, but when you start eating regularly you gain weight again, then you have to stop eating again, its a cycle lol

it is impossible to lose weight specifically from a particular area on your body, BUT you can tone the fat off of your arms by exercising them. weights, push ups, etc.

its really not good to lose weight fast to tell you the truth

How to lose weight fast what ever it takes? -

am 5 2 wight 170 please help

Diet and exercise. I know, no one wants to hear that....

wow idk

starve

all wrestlers who want to go down a weight class suck on sour skittles and spit through an straw usually brings you down a weight class in 1-2 weeks.

become vegetarian or go by these rules-no candy/cakes/soda/cookies etc.-for every 100 calories the food should have at the most 5 grams of fat-no more then 45 calories from fat-lots of water -pomegranete juice or cranberry juice (not cranberry juice cocktail) it detoxes your body-eat 3 main meals..breakfast, lunch ,dinner but inbetween breakfast and lunch eat fruits and nuts..between lunch and dinner eat some snack. and then do not eat after 7ish. -whenever you feel like eating go on a walk outside-run for like 15 min every day or do weightsits what im doing right now and i lost 1 pound in like 2 days.

Well the fastest way is obvioursly starvation but you don t want to be going through things like that but yeah.. Alot of exercise.. You can still eat what you want people presume you should diet but it isnt always the case as long as you eat at normall times :) my boyfriend told me whos a fitness intructor. If you want to lose it very quick then do a helllll lot of exercise but try not to over work your self.. Losing weight quick can be pretty dangerous sometimes x

The beer diet. Drink beer 24/7. Beer is your main food staple. Don t drive while on this diet. In addition to your sudden weight loss people might also notice a more charming you. It works for me, and it s the easiest diet to stay on.

only eat when you are truly hungry and stop when you are politely full NOT stuffed and exercise and you should be skinny in no time

starvation does wonders.

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 advice from them to lose weight fast and healthy.

I am also 5 2 and weight 162 pounds. I m a member of Betalife (www.betalife.com) which has great support groups and teaches you how to change your lifestyle for life. You eat REAL food and exercise regularly, there are no strict rules and it s very easy to follow. Perhaps you should come have a look at the site, it s a free sign up (truthfully) and it provides you with a heap of information. But remember that the key to success is a healthy diet and regular cardio exercise. Good Luck

My best friend start the diet in the book, Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. He s gone down two belt notches in two weeks and he says he feels better than he has in years.

Have you ever heard of the Akins diet? Well in everything you eat Carbs are the last thing to burn off, I lost 11 LBS in 2 weeks. All I did was lower my carb intake to 10g to 12g of carbohydrates a day. Lots of chicken and lean meats. NO BREADS OR PASTAS. ALSO take Vitamins... Seriously... And Good Luck...

The fastest healthiest way to lose weight is to eat lots of protein (as much as you want basically) and cut out as many carbohydrates as possible(do not cut out vegetables, they are very good for you). Don t skip meals, in fact you want to eat every three hours. Spread your normal caloric intake throughout the day. Don t cut calories. Your metabolism will thank you. I am always for lifting weights to lose weight and build muscle (which leads to weight loss) but you want to really jump start your weight loss and really see the results right? For the next two weeks while you re eating lots of protein and not drinking soda or juice (high fructose corn syrup is the devil) do a cardiovascular exercise like riding a stationary bike (really anything) that gets your heart rate up and keep it up for an hour five days a week. You should drop at the least 10 pounds in those two weeks.The only downside to a high-protein, low-carb diet is the lack of fiber keeps you out of the bathroom. Either eat lots of high veggies or take a fiber supplement like Metamucil. If you have a hard time eating every three hours (it is difficult) buy some protein powder to blend with milk. It s tasty (I like chocolate) and good for you. Good luck.

Just eat healthy and exercise, make sure you have a big healthy breakfast.

How to lose weight? Im so fat T^T? -

I m so fat! T^T Are there any easy ways to lose weight?

It depends on your personal physiological makeup, but drinking fluids like water and green tea help. Never drink soda or eat ANYTHING with hydrogenated oils ( like potato chips and french fries ) These are the best ways to stay thin, the best way to get thin is to elevate your heart rate for 30 min a day. Find an enjoyable hobby that gets your heart beating like dancing or swimming and roll with that. Trust me, you can loose like 15 lbs fast and if you need to loose more, the weight will keep coming off. If you have a hard time getting motivated, may I suggest looking into a pre-workout formula. These are relatively cheep and give a huge boost of energy and focus. ( always consult a physician before starting any supplemental program if you have health concerns )

First, ignore all the links and gimmicks. People just try to take advantage, sadly.There are plenty of easy ways, but none of them *work*.Eating healthily, in moderation, and getting enough exercise are really the only way to actually succeed. There are tips and tricks that help, but they only help if you re putting the work in too.Try Weight Watchers, or find something else that works for you. If your body and self-image matter to you, then you can put in the work and you can succeed.Good luck.

1.Do exercise every day2.Calculate your weight after exercise.3.Eat healthy food and do not eat to much cholesterol.4.Get doctor advice.5.Plan your meals.6.Perform high-level aerobic activities7.Rest properly8.Confident with yourself that you can lose your weight9.Always watch The Biggest Loser10.Be consistent and discipline.

your just a nipper but just as a heads up gaining weight is easier for a reason the body stores fat in case food runs out these days of course in the western world this is not that likely so in a nut shell eat sensibly and take regular exercise for 30 mins or more a day you ll be fine being a teenager try to relax a little a remember your are growing just now and for the next few years so your waist size may well decrease with time,just stick to common sense keep the junk as treats drink plenty of water and get plenty of fresh air and exercise take it easy

well losing weight is never easy so i don t know so try doing sit ups every day and running that seems to help and if not just think your not the fattest person in the world ar you :)

please do kapalbhati pranayam as advised by baba Ramdev in Aastha channel for 10 to 15 minutes daily

um ok try the master cleanse google it
