Do you have any weight loss tips for an overweight young woman? -

im 200lbs 5 3. i m in desperate need of guidance. i need to start as of RIGHT NOW. i need to loose 20lbs first and for-most. the thing is, i dont have alot of time for cooking fancy, and my body hurts alot to do long exercises,especially running. help me out PLEASE. i just feel horrible this morning and i cant continue like this.

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, whichwill lead to increase of weight, or muscle growunderneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet withoutexercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. Fordiet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no foodafter 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending onyour initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. Ifyou don t eat wheat then you don t eat all those sticky, fatty goeycakes, you don t eat junk food, and you don t eat biscuits. But yourdiet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have tocalculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is themost efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight alot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to targetyour problem areas for men and women. It s not necessarily to become abodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help youto target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Eat healthyCut out all fast foods, all sugary foodsEat smaller portionsLoad up on veggies, both fresh and cookedVeggies are not cooking fancy, you can buy frozen veggies that take about 5 minutes on a stove or spend $8 buying a bag of peas and carrots. You can even eat them with low-calorie kraft ranch dip.Exercise at LEAST 30 minutes a day. Yes your body hurts because its out of shape. Why dont you try running for 10 minutes and then doing some palates? Make the running time longer when you can.Other great carido is, jump rope, swimming. You can do yoga and palates for strength exercises. Go to a gym, you can use an elliptical which is similar to running without the bouncing effect.But regardless, if your muscles are not aching after you work out, you are not getting the benefit of your efforts.

The first thing you should concentrate on is your intake of saturated fats. Reduce your intake of burgers, fries, cheese-laden pizzas, and other fast food items from a fast food joint. Substitute foods rich in saturated fats with healthier choices, such as baked, grilled, and leaner meats that are much lower in fat content. Once you reduce the intake and get used to the changed diet, take a step forward to eliminate these things from your diet completely. However, keep in mind that the change in your diet should be gradual and not abrupt. Also, a treat of your favorite food once in a while will do no harm in the long run.The next thing women should concentrate on is your ongoing exercise routine. Most women avoid the use of weights with a fear of developing huge amount of muscles and losing the feminine delicacy. But, using weights is extremely essential to improve the results of your efforts. Weight training is not just about bulking up. It is about developing some amount of muscle in your body. Every pound of muscle thus added will help you burn more fats even while sleeping! Therefore, do not forget to dedicate a short part of your daily exercise routine to weights.The first thing you should concentrate on is your intake of saturated fats.

Hey, lets get some facts straight.1) you dont need to cook anything fancy in order to lose weight2) you just need to watch what your eatingUnfortunately, cardio is probably the number 1 most effective exercise to lose overall body fat.My advice is, do cardio every single day 30mins/ with 5min break ( you can split it up ).If you feel like you want to push it, make it 35,40,45.-Add green tea to your diet, it increases your metabolism, therefore drink it first thing in the morning, and perhaps during the day. (its affordable)- dont just look at the calories, watch out for saturated and trans fat.- no fast food.- no alcohol.- dont eat after 8pm. Whatever your eating right now, reduce to half.- Consider taking those rapidcut pills while doing cardio, to increase your fatburn by 33%. - I ve tried it, it gives you this energy boost.have a nice day, feel free to ask me anything.

if you drink sodas cut them out completely. Drink lots of water and try to exercise if you can. I would say start out slow on exercising though until you feel like you can do 30 min.or more. If you get stressed out relax. Stress can cause you to gain weight. I used to weigh around two hundred something pounds and now i am getting close to my goal weight which is the weight i should be. It is kind of hard but if you keep up with what you are doing you will lose the weight and be healthy. I also found out that by keeping a journal of what i eat and how much i exercise helps. Good luck in losing weight.

There is no magic pill or program for weight loss, regardless of what others tell you. 2 - 3 lbs per week is a healthy weight loss.You need to follow a sensible diet. Start eating fruits and vegetables and lean protein.There is a great show on the Lifestyle channel, Cook Yourself Thin. They show you how to change your fave recipes to low fat, low calorie. It��s a really neat show.Their idea is that you take your goal weight and multiply by 10. This number is your maximum daily calories.You need to eat what s called filling foods to not get hungry all the time. Things like apples and bananas are filling. Almost all types of beans, garbanzo, green, kidney, re-fried fat-free, beets, cauliflower are some of the many filling veggies.Avoid over-use of salt, you will retain water.Drink water, and if you don��t like it plain try a little squeezed lemon or lime in it. Drink at least 8 ozs before each meal.You may also want to try switching from 3 meals a day and eating 4 or 5 lighter meals.Vigorous exercise is not required especially at first and if you haven t done it in a while. Just start out walking.Losing weight requires a lifestyle change.Good luck!

Hi, I understand your present situation. As you are 200lbs 5 3 want to loose 20lbs first. Well don t prefer any running in this situation. Drink as much as water as you can because drinking water is a big secret for weight loss. Avoid Oily and Cheesy food items. Simultaneously prefer weight loss pills which are made with natural stuff . According to my Knowledge the Best WEIGHT LOSS PACK available in the market is ACAI BURN . No need to go for monthly bottle here. They are providing 14-days free trial pack. The appreciate point with this product is there is 100 percentage MONEY BACK option available right now. Just read some Real stories of People about WEIGHT LOSS PACK given below so that you will get a good idea that as a young woman how can you reduce your overweight with out doing any running.

Google BMR. It is your basal metabolic rate. When you calculate it (basic math) it will tell you how many calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight how many calories to eat to lose weight. You then buy a calorie counting book a set of kitchen scales so you can monitor exactly what you are eating. You may want to start taking epsom salt baths. They will help your stress, circulation, skin they actually will detox your body the healthy way. Not like that lemon crap.Just be patient stick with it. You will get there : )

Cut back eating all bad foods. Eat in portions. Buy healthy snacks. No more eating fast food unless it s subway or something off the weight watcher menu. But, you re going to have to do some type of exercise (walking) in order to really lose weight. Unless you want your body to be flabby. Drink plenty of water. No more soads because it makes your stomach bloated. No more juices that are sugary. Drink Crystal light it taste really good. That got all types of flavors. Count calories eat 1300 cals a day to really lose weight.

I know how you feel. I ve tried Weight Watchers before, and it really did work. Everyone is different, but the average you would lose would probably be a pound a week. I ended up quitting because I wasn t motivated and just lost money on it for quite a few weeks. But it s honestly effective, and not that hard to follow if you re motivated, which it sounds like you are. If you think this is something you might want to try, look for a meeting in your area, and ask them about it. It s worth a shot. Good luck, I wish you the best :)

Ur food doesn t have to b fancy jus healthy. U should really try to exercise and you can start off walkin long distances instead of running. If u email me we can get thru this together!

Hi. I ve been on a weight loss program from Isagenix for one month now. I ve lost 19 lbs already. The best part is... there is LESS cooking with this program. And... its all natural. No drugs or bad side effects. Drop me a note if you want to learn more and find out where to get their products.

you dont need to run right away. ride a bike if you like that better or just walk around the block for like 15 minutes a day. also write down every single thing you eat and drink today and then tommorow try to cut something out or replace it with something better, like water instead of coke

yes, do not eat sweets.

One thing that my husband and I found that seems to be a little bit easier are these 2 methods1) You can try eating only so many calories per day. The avarage amount of calories that a person intakes is 2,000 calories per day(you will find that on pretty much food package/container that you see.) I would suggest 800-900 calories per day and stick with it. On the weekend, you can eat anything that you want. (Splurge) but do not splurge too much. You dont want to take away too much from what you did that week.My husband and I lost about 15 pounds doing this. If we did not splurge(eat whatever we wanted and how much we wanted on the weekend) or if we exercised, we would have lost more weight faster so I would suggest that if you do this you exercise even if it is just walking.If this doesnt sound good to you there is another method that you can use.2)You can eat 3 times a day as usualFor breakfast you can eat a bowl of cereal, a piece of fruit, breakfast bar, or even just a side saladFor lunch you would eat chicken salad and add whatever salad veggies that you like. other kind of salads are also optional.For dinner eat a side salad and breadsticks.any of these in any order will work. You will wanna exercise also at least 2-3 times per week for at least an hour.My husand and I lost 22 lbs in 2 1/2 months using this method. And even with this diet, we chose one day a week(saturday) to eat what we wanted. This is how we were able to get through the diet because we had to come to an understanding that eating is a lifestyle and this I think will help you get to where you wanna be. Good Luck!!!

I have been through it all and know what s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it s good for the heart.However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I ve found a great addition to help any one out, it s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it s the best pill I ve tried and I ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Before you start exercise, you have to start with a healthy and stable diet. After that is under control, then start brisk walking every day. It doesn t have to be a lot, but it is something. There are a number of things you can do for a diet that is still healthy. The first thing you need to do is consult with a doctor or a nutritionist if they can. They will be able to give you a target weight loss goal. You need to figure out how many calories you need a day. According to a calorie calculator, with your height and weight, you should be eating anywhere from 1600-1900 calories a day. The more you exercise, the more calories you might need though.-Avoid foods in high fat, especially saturated and trans fats. Mono and Poly saturated fats are known as the good fats , but you should not exceed 40g of fat per day, and you should not exceed 15g of saturated fat per day.-Avoid foods high in added sugars. The better sugars come from natural sugars such as fruit, but they are still calories and need to be watched.-Drink plenty of water. It helps in weight loss and is needed.-Drink 100% fruit juices with no added sugars. Avoid drinks with added sugars such as sodas and iced teas.-Eat 5 servings of fruit/veggies per day. Green veggies have the most nutrients.-For meat, lean meats are the best. Some examples would be skinless, boneless chicken breasts and turkey.-Seafood is low calories and low in fat.-Add oats and granola into your diet. Nuts are another good option, but watch their fat content.-Stay motivated.If you are able to see a doctor or a nutritionist about your diet, they will be able to guide you through it.
