Is loosing weight all in your head? -

Do we really need these weight loss programs or diet books. Since I gave birth 19 months ago I have been eating unhealthy, Carbs, Carbs, and more Carbs. Until recently it started affecting my health (getting pregnant again, pre-diabetes) and of course weight gain. However, for about 1 week now, I have had minimum Carbs (only in whole wheat), just been eating healthy and exercising almost everyday. It has been several months of having medical tests done but I found out the irregular results last week.The doctor had to tell me that I have to loose weight or i will be taking Medication for the rest of my life. And that is what brought on this change. My friend offered me chocolate yesterday and I refused and watched her eat it. I have tired diet pills weight watchers, shakes everything in the past, but I never felt as motivated as I do now. I think we don t need any of these programs, I think it s all in our head. What do you think?

I agree with you -- sort of. Personal motivation is the one thing that will keep a person living a healthy lifestyle (and lack of personal motivation will doom anyone s efforts to lose weight or get in shape), but there s a lot of misinformation out there about what food is good for you and what isn t. For example, many people believe eggs are bad for you because they re high in cholesterol. Not true. Eggs are high in protein and monounsaturated fat, which actually helps to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol. There s a mountain of scientific research to back this up, but people are still scared to eat eggs, or just egg yolks, because they think their cholesterol levels are going to go through the roof. So it s not only important to have your mental state in order, you also need to have your facts straight. Once you know which types of diets are bad (low-carb and low-fat being among them) and what type of diets are good (balanced diets high in protein, fiber, mono-and-polyunsaturated fat, and vitamins and minerals from real food sources) you can make permanent changes in your eating habits -- and your exercise habits -- that will allow you to stay in the best health and within 10 pounds of your ideal weight for life.

I agree with you. When I ve tried to diet by taking pills or eating special diet foods it never worked. I finally just had to get in the right state of mind and say I m not on a diet but I m going to make healthy choices and it worked.

Who is the person that created nutri system? -

I really need to know the name of the person who created nutrisystem...(the weight loss program)

harold katz who owned the Philadelphia 76ers

The pattern for losing weight is easy - consume less and exercise more - the difficulties appear when we really try to put that into operation! There are plenty of temptations in the big wide world don t you think?! The sole method which clearly showed results for me was wu-yi tea, it can be seen in the resource box below, they have a limited number of free trials remaining, it was reported in Reader s Digest and CNN. I lost 25 pounds, it clearly does produce success!

Healthy Weight Loss? -

I m 5 2, thirteen and 104 pounds.Some days i m 99, some days i m exaclty 100.Right now I m 104 though.Anywho... how can I lose weight withough starving myself to death? I have a teeny frame but I m very strong from dance.I exercise a bit.... How long would it take me to lose 10-12 pounds?ALSO- my breasts are like, 32AA.I want to reduce themWhat can I do?

Umm, why do you want to lose 10 pounds? Your BMI is 19... which is almost underweight. You need not lose weight, you need to tone up by building some muscle. Do some weight-lifting, tae-bo, etc.

... it you want to diet to improve health , try weight watchers or slimfast... they work great

Weight loss plateau over only a few weeks? -

I have been following a weight loss program for 4 weeks. I have been going to the gym 6 days a week. I do at least 30 minutes of cardio on a treadmill or elliptical. 2 of those 6 days I attend a 1 hour long intense dance aerobics class. I do about 30 minutes of strength training. I alternate which body parts I work on by day (i.e. arms and back - M W F and legs and abs T Th S. I have been trying to increase the intensity of my cardio workouts gradually by increasing the distance or incline.I started a food journal about three weeks ago after I wasn t please with my results the first week. I count my calories. I eat between 1200-1400 per day. I lost about 7 pounds after I started the food journaling and calorie counting (from 178 to 171.2), but this past week it appears I gained a few pounds at the beginning of the week (I weigh myself every morning) and I am just now .5 pounds away (171.8) from where I was last week.

Your weight can fluctuate a lot when dieting and it can be frustrating. It could be water retention or just incomplete elimination of everything you ate (bowel movements will be reduced when dieting and the weight of food and water still in your system can weigh a bit). You could try using an emetic to flush your system which may give you a bit better reading about where your weight loss stands. I actually found that if I only weigh myself at the start and end of a diet, or once a month, I m happier because I can see I ve lost weight and I m not worried about little fluctuations that occur from weighing myself daily or weekly.

I use to body build for 2 years,what your not thinking of is muscle weighs more than fat.If I were you,don t hop on scale,the number means nothing.It just ends up making you frustrated.Go by clothing size instead.You say you do strength training,I m assuming your talking about lifting weights.You might want to back off a little of doing this.I use to ride the stationary bike to burn calories.Just my thoughts.

I lost it, can you help me get it back? All answers are highly appreciated.? -

Peace be upon everyone here, I am fifteen. I am a girl. I am about 53 kilograms. My height is about 165-166 cm. I SEROUSLY want to lose thigh and butt weight. I just binged today on caramel cake and pancakes with honey, also on simple carbohydrates.. : (.Can you please suggest for me a weight loss healthy diet plan (daily) to lose thigh fat. I really want to lose it. Please help me. A lot of help is highly appreciated. I am really upset because I lost my period last month ans last June because I went on a high-protein diet, and sometimes I ate, but not too much. Please give me a healthy weight loss diet that mainly targets the thighs and butt. Thank you a lot

Get yourself a Thighmaster, or just open and close your legs repeatedly. I suggest you get yourself a persistent boyfriend as well.

omg! :/ the reason you lost your period is because you are underweight and lost weight too fast!! you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible, this is the begining of anorexia, i know, i ve been through it, please get help, being anorexic and living with the reputation is hell

healthy weight loss diet? You can eat what you want at that age, but why kids are so overweight is cause they stuff themselves with crappy food, like soda, cake, chocolate. Just stay away from junk food, if you want you can have whole wheat bread whatever you want. the only way to loose weight on theighs and butt is Running, depending on the amount of fat on your body cardio may take longer or work within a few days. It s the bodies decision where it wants to burn the fat, but yes, cardio will defenitly do it. 10-20 minutes a day ( 1.5 miles or more) you should see improvements.. But when you work out you will get hungry, so EAT... dont ever Not eat... Or you will be loosing more muscle.

Why bother doing your homework if you re not interested in learning?Take the F .It would be an honest grade for work you didn t do, knowledge you don t have.
