Anyone have good weight loss tips or good excersise tips that really cut fat!? -

i need to lose about 40 lbs!

I lost about 30 pounds in 3 months by counting calories. If you go to self.com, there is a health tab that details your ideal body weight, ideal BMI, and the amount of calories you need to intake in order to maintain your weight. Then you take the amount of calories needed to maintain your weight and subtract 500. That new amount is the amount of calories you should get a day in order to lose about 1 pound a week. Also, a good exercise tip to lose your bodies stored fat is to exercise before eating so that the calories you burn are from the stored fat in your body versus the calories you just ate if you exercise after eating.

I ve lost about 65lbs. in the past 16 months, and here are some things that I ve found to be important:1.) Understand that there is no quick fix! It takes commitment, hard work, and it isn t always fun.2.) Losing weight is simple math--calories in, calories out. Diets do not work. You should eat well (e.g. cut down or eliminate refined sugar and saturated fat, eat whole grains, lots of fresh produce, etc.) and exercise more, and it must be a lifestyle commitment that you adopt permanently. Not just until you lose the weight--that s a guaranteed way to put it back on.3.) Keep a food journal. It s not meant to punish, just to show you your eating patterns so that you can adjust them accordingly. I saw right away that I was craving snacks after 9pm. So I started brushing my teeth at 8:30 so I would be less tempted to eat anything else. I also saw that I was eating when stressed. Now when I feel stress, I do something (anything!) else to avoid emotional eating.4.) Don t eat before bed. You should stop eating for the day by 2 hours before your bedtime.5.) Find healthy substitutes for foods you love that taste good and satisfy cravings. For example, I can t live without pizza. But I haven t ordered one in 16 months! I found healthy ways to make my own at home. Like most healthy eating, it takes time and experimentation, but well worth it in the long run. Buy cookbooks or look online for healthy recipes that sound tasty.6.) Don t punish yourself. If you eat some chocolate, pizza, etc., don t guilt-trip yourself. In fact, I say you should treat yourself once in awhile. Tomorrow is another day and it won t kill you to eat something you enjoy, as long as you re not overdoing it on a regular basis. 7.) Exercise is key! Don t try to lose weight by diet alone--it isn t as healthy and you won t see results as quickly. I started by walking 3 times per week and then joined a gym, so now I m up to 4-5 days of cardio and 3 days of weight training per week.8.) Don t weigh in everyday. Once a week or every other week is plenty.9.) Lift weights! Building muscle is important, and it increases endurance, bone mass, boosts your metabolism, and a host of other benefits. Consult a professional or book for tips if you ve never lifted before to avoid injury.10.) The most important thing I ve learned is that, no matter what anyone else tells you, you ve got to figure out a plan that works for you. Try lots of different things and tweak them if you have to, to make them work for your body, your lifestyle, your needs, etc. Good luck and happy losing!

South Beach diet really works.

Couple of ways.1. Look at what your eating. Soda s - big contributor to weight gain. Fast Food - low in nutrition and high in fat. Time you eat - 4 or 5 small meals high in protein and fiber and don t eat right before you go to sleep.2. Exercise - this one is the big confusing weight loss method. Work out too hard and its worthless. Working out on a tread mill or weights are beneficial but your body is different then say the person next to you. You can go into a aerobics class and see the same people in there for 2 years and see no progress. Monitoring your heart rate properly can reduce fat considerably every day (provided your diet is correct) but if your heart rate is too high ... then you burn muscle and it all goes for not ... and you get fatter.I can only provide simple tips but a professional trainer is the key because he/she can determine your optimal heart rate and put you on a cardio/diet/weight lose program. And that won t even work if your mind is not willing to do it.Good luck, have fun doing it! Making it a job makes it boring.

just watch what you eat and excercise 7 days a week. theres no doubt about weight loss then oh and dont listen to the person whos tokin bout throwing up.
