First, spot training unless you are a professional body builder, doesn t really work.Your BMI is at around 20.3 which is normal. Your basal metabolic rate is around 1352.7 calories, if you are 25 years old or so. That means, when your body is at rest, you use 1352.7 calories just to survive .Don t forget muscle is heavier than fat. So 1# of fat will take up more space than 1# of muscle. You could weight more, yet be smaller if you had a low body fat. Try the body fat calculator at the included link.My suggestion is you look into abdominal exercises, but pudgy stomach is not necessarily the cause of muscle tone problems.I suggest you combine cardiovascular exercises with weight lifting. Women tend to gravitate toward cardio, which is a big mistake. weight lifting not only tones muscles but provides a good foundation for your frame.

Whas a healthy weight? -
Does anyone have some good weight loss tips? -
A good tip for weight lose is to not try to lose weight. A lot of diets will tell you that you will lose weight fast, but where are you losing the weight from? Most of them will lose the weight from muscles, which will lower your metabolism, causing you ro gain it back again. Instead of losing weight, lose the fat. To do this, just remember one word: SYNERGY. There are four component:1. Eat healthy - For your body to be healthy, it needs the proper nutrition. And, for you muscles to grow, you need the nutrition.2. Exercise - You want to do both cardio exercise and weight lifting. Cardio workouts are good for your heart and will burn more calories while you are exercising. Weight lifting will increae your muscles, which will burn more calories while at rest.3. Rest - For your muscles to grow, you need plenty of rest. They need at least 48 hours to recover, so don t work the same muscles everyday. Also, to recharge your body, try to get 8 hours of sleep each night.4. Hydration - Your muscles are made up of 70% water, so you want to keep your hydration level up. You want to drink water before you get thirsty. Carry a water bottle with you and sip on it all day.These four items done by themselves, are very good for you. But if you do them all together, you will see your results multiply 100-fold.
eat less, move more.
Depending on your age your metabolism may have slowed down. If you cut out 2 cokes and a candy bar a day (or approx 500 calories) you will lose 1 pound per week. Here is the math. 3500 calories = 1 pound. 500 calories x 7 days = 3500 calories.Cardio is the answer. Bike, swim run, jog, something that keeps you moving. The latest I have heard is for 45 minutes per day. Try to keep your heard rate at between 60 and 80% of maximum.If you do both of these you can get back to your regular weight in a month.
To answer your first question, adding weight training will build more muscle that will over time increase your metabolic rate. Three times a week should do it. To answer your second question, if you have thinning of the hair, and/or feeling lethargic all the time, see your doctor. it could be your thyroid (hypothyroidism).
Go to jogging daily at morning. Jog for around 1 hr. Make sure you have sweat on your face,stomach,...Do this atleast for one month then c the results.Remember, you gain weight without hardwork but to loose it you have to work hard. so the best thing to do is keep on working hard..I hope you will listen to my suggestion.neway its upro you bcoz you r your own boss..All the best.
Help me lose weight please? -
lyssa please don t feel ashamed. if they were really your true friends then they would have been next to you along the way. it doesn t matter if you WERE the most prettiest and popular girl in the class. it all over as you said so just look past that, think about the new. higher your self-esteem. we are all beautiful in our own way. some ways to lose weight is of course to drink lots of water. exercise is an other. your max is about 45 minutes a week, no more than that. eat your fruits and vegtables daily in soups and salads. eat your poultry wisely. also remember to eat something that you like thats healthy.try to take a thrill in your life so your matabilism increases trust me it helps. for more great help i recommend you tube, not the best to get tips but it sometimes gives you hope and encouragment. also happy thankxgiving. god bless jus no that you are not the only one who has been through this low esteem, friends betraying, and the weight loss.
Watch one less hour of TV. A study of 76 undergraduate students found the more they watched television, the more often they ate and the more they ate overall. Sacrifice one program (there s probably one you don t really want to watch anyway) and go for a walk instead. You ll have time left over to finish a chore or gaze at the stars.
when my friend wanted to loose weight she ate about half of what she normally would eat for each meal that she hadyou could walk up and down the stairs too
Weight and calorie qt!!!!? -
Ask yourself, am i ganna eat like this my whole life? If not, up your calories to something more resonable you would eat for the rest of your life. By eating too low your ganna crash your metabolism unless you eat just that much your whole life.
Burning up calories became much easier for me when I started using acai berry. I know they say that pills won t work, but they definitely worked for me, and they have been shown on CNN too. There s a free trial happening at the moment at http://jerels.myslimmingpro.info , why not check it out, why not?
I tried many different method to lose my weight, but nothing worked untill I found this amazing method. It works very well and I lost my weight easy after I found correct method. I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and it was so easy. If you are serious and really want to lose weight you should have a look. You can get information at link below.
Ok so it seems as if your work ethic is very good and you are trying your best to shed of the pounds which is perfectJust continue to eat healthy including fruits which there is no limit on because they provide an excellent source of energy as well vegetables alsoEven though you are working your hardest do not push your body when its working over the top. You need to let your body take its time at doing this because as long as your taking care of it, it will so what you want it to.This doesnt seem like a concern for you but always remember to eat beneficial meals because as youve probably heard starving yourself doesnt work.Other than that continue to take care of your body and it will take care of the pounds in return
so if you want to lose like 2 pounds a week you only need to burn off 500 calories a day for 7 days. then at the end of the week weigh yourself to see if you are doing the right thing.
Typical Weight Loss! Tips? -

You can eat anything you want as long as you dont eat loads of it, so dont banish peanut butter from your life as I know I couldnt live without it!Bread is always said to be bad but again as long as you dont eat excessive amounts!Just cut down on foods that are fatty, if you try and eat foods that are low in fat as i found that was what helped me lose weight. Also swimming is great for losing weight and for toning your body.Eat 5 fruit and veg a day, I foung that eating a big bowl of fruit like strawberries, raspberrys and peaches with low fat yoghurt filled me up until lunch so I was less likely to snack, and I had eaten 3 portions of fruit!Im sure you will lose the weight in no time!Good Luck
Learn to monitor your calories. Weight loss is all about energy, if you eat less calories than you burn then you lose weight. All foods can be incorporated into a healthy diet as long as they are eaten in moderation. Eating A LOT of any food is bad. Peanut butter is pretty high calorie (about 200 cal in 2 Tablespoons) so if you are not careful then the calories can really add up.
Eat yogurt(diet) before the meals.Then you can eat apple, rye bread, grilled chicken, salad with very little Olive oil.you can have purslane and spinach.Cabbage soup will also help to loose weight.Also many vegetables like tomato, carrot,cucumber.And drink green tea before sleeping and before the breakfast.Prefer toasted bread.You can eat light cheese, too.
Effective weight loss tips? -
Hi there KennethcFirst of all, let me just say let your looks not be the determinant of the relationship you get into. If you want to lose weight, do it for the right reasons; that is, do it because it makes you happy and it is something that you want to do. There is this myth or urban legend that goes around saying when you are thin, you are beautiful and if you are a woman, men fall over themselves in a rush to be in a relationship with you; well if that is the case, that kind of relationship is not worth being in as it is loveless. If you wanna be in a relationship, be in a realtionship for love. The person who loves you truly will overlook your physique; they ll love you for you; not because you satisfy some fantasy of a man being in a relationship with some model!Now, for your question; I have found that the best and quickest way to lose weight is to eat lots of vegetables; preferably raw and drink a lot of water. Avoid meat at all costs; any kind of meat. Eat small portions of vegies frequently throughout the day. If you want to exercise, just run a bit or walk briskly for 20 to 30 minutes three time a week.Please love yourself the way you are because if you don t, no one else will.Best RegardsVictor
I have lost 40 lbs. in 3 months and I know this will work. Eat small healthy meals every 2-3 hours, eat your last meal 2-3 hours before you go to sleep. Do not starve yourself or your body will go into survival mode where anything you eat will be turned into FAT. This will help you a lot but if you want more results you can exercise 3-4 days a week, include weight training and especially cardio (walking especially running). If you set your mind to lose the weight you will lose it and when you start seeing how good you look you ll want to keep going.Good Luck

Weight Loss help!? -
Here is what you need to do if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Lose weight) and you will have more energry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads) in one and protein (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have any or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross country skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension) (YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. So your body doesnt go into starvation mode, YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF.If you stick with this you will have a great body. also drink a least 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonalds, Wendys, etc because there is nothing good for you on the menus - even the salads are bad (bacon bits, cheese, dressing, etc) Good Luck :)
First of all don t think that you are fat, don t be fricky about your weight. Second, go to gym not to loose weight just for fun and make sure to take your ipod with you cause it does help. Third, you want to loose weight without any of that stuff, eat good breakfast, very good lunch and skip dinner, and walk at least an hour a day. that s what my dad did and he lost 25 pds in a week.
Im not trying to be harsh here, but motivation is a needed factor in a diet. you dont want to do the work, but you want to loose the weight. the only option for that is surgery. stick with the diet. after a few pounds you will start to feel better and then your motivation will rise. that will lead to greater weight loss and a larger self esteem.
try a fiber supplement......do lots of walking.......drink lots of water to fill your stomach
I don t know this is a tough one. How long did it take to get 100l lbs overweight? I think first of all that it would be unrealistic to expect to lose the excess weight faster than you put it on. Generally it would make sense to think of your own body as a type of balloon; If you put more in eating - than your are taking out (excretions and chemical burning of calories the balloon will continue to get bigger. So it is very possible with this continued course you will be 130 lbs over weight by the end of the year. I don t know, you may need professional help right now. Good luck on a common problem in the world today.
You have to exercise every day for about 30 minutes. You can do this by walking. Eat low fat, high fiber (including high fiber carbs), fruits, veggies. Cut out sweets. I promise it will work.
good thing you are not tryin diet pills but maybe you could do alot of exercise in the morning and dont eat right before you go to bedWorked for alot of people i know!!!try it for 4-6 weeksdon t eat for 4 hours before you go to bed if you need a time limit
unfortunately in order to lose weight you need motivation. Try taking an aerobics or yoga class... or getting some weights or something you can use while you watch tv at the very least, take a walk to a duck pond and feed them popcorn... etc. You need to watch what you eat REGARDLESS. Check out the blood type diet: http://www.drlam.com/blood_type_diet/ind��I m a type O :)It makes a lot of sense scientifically, and it actually works.
see a nutritionist.. they can give u a work out plan and a simple list of foods u should or shoudnt be eating. if u dont want to do that then just search it online and find a plan that works for u. but u have to stick to it! even if its not all that fun or its rlly dificult, just think of how much it will pay off in the end. well hope i helped! good luck! 3
Weight loss tips [ any tips ideas welcome! : D? -
Losing ten to fifteen pounds by the end of January shouldn t be any real problem if you can set it up right.Try eating smaller portions, but more meals throughout your day to speed up your metabolism. Also try to at least find some time to do a bit of light cardio like a 30 minute walk every morning or night woulld suffice to start.Also, indulge in yummy complex carbs like whole wheat pasta, and don t skip foods full of antioxidants such as acai juice, blueberries, and pomegranates.

Just drink water. No pop or junk food.

Typical question, but I NEED HELP! - Weight Loss Tips Anyone? -
Hello! Congratulations on taking the first step forwards anyways! I just recently have lost a total of 63 pounds, and I was the same as you, munching on foods when I was bored. I think that the key thing for me was to change my eating habits and the foods that were in my fridge. I cut pops out COMPLETELY, which were loaded with empty calories. I replaced junk foods with veggies and fruits. I won t kid you, it was really hard to do, but within a week, I noticed a change in my energy levels. Also, take a multivitamin!!! I also was calorie counting, just trying to monitor how much I was eating. As for exercise, I was taking my dog for two 2 km walks a day at first, then gradually increased this. Then I started a running podcast called the Couchto5K running program, which starts you out slow and works it s way up to 5 km of running over 8 weeks. It was fun because you have someone cheering you on while you run to music. Then I started going to the gym to tone up as well. I also have aerobic videos to do when I have those days that I can t get to the gym.As for recipes that are quick and easy....try using a slow cooker for those days. Or when you make something, make a HUGE batch of it, then freeze the rest for later use. I hope that this helps you out! Everyone is different and does things a different way! Congratulations again on taking this first step!
To the asker of the question, Lila, I have no way of reaching you through e-mail.....if you leave an e-mail address, I will definitely e-mail you some great healthy slow cooker recipes! Report Abuse
If your trying to lose weight it is all about how many calories you consume. If u want to lose 1 pound you need to cut 3500 calories(500 a day for 1 week). Here are a few tips.1. eat lean protein with every meal(chicken, fish, eggs, fat free dairy, turkey...ect.2. Eat plenty of vegetables(anything but potatoes, carrots and corn)3. eat low GI foods. You want to avoid processed foods and sugar at all cost, this is most important. Surgery foods such a cereal, candy, white bread, white rice. (go to a GI web site to see what foods will keep your blood sugar low. when blood sugar gets to high, your body stores fat.4. Try to exercise a couple times a week. (weights cardio) The more muscle u have, the more calories you will burn.5. Avoid trans and saturated fat (fried foods, dairy...ect.6.Try to eat smaller meals throughout the day(every 3 hours) Keeps your blood sugar stable and keeps your metabolism working throughout the day. 7. DONT STARVE YOURSELF....your body will got into storing mode if you do no eat enough food. Your metablolism will slow down and sabotage a fat loss plan.
First off, congratulations. I hope you truley do carry out your resolution.Anyhow, for starters, I always reward myself for doing homework by getting an A. When I get A s it makes me feel really proud of myself and it makes all the stupid, hard work I do almost worth while :]Recipes, I don t know any really. My favorite thing to do though is to make a low fat smoothie. Mix real fruit (your choice) and low fat yogurt into a blender with ice and viola! Deelish! They usually hold me over for a while.The bored thing..I think almost every teenager does it! I know I do. I stopped myself by instead of eating, I found a beverage I really liked and so now whenever I get hungry, I go and make a tall glass of my Roberts chocolate milk! It s very filling. The number one tip I would have to say is STOP SNACKING. You may not think those little innocent snacks every hour or so do much but they add up. Stay away from all the junk food for sure.Good luck and hope I helped! :]
In order to lose weight. You need more than 1 important tip. But basically. Try to get like a calorie watch. Or something that measures the calories burned. Then, measure your calorie intake. Then make sure your exercise is 500 more calories than your calorie intake. That way. You lost 500 calories today plus extra calories.( Extra Calories: Weight x 100 = Calories burned each day without doing anything. example: Weight. 150. Calories burned for doing nothing. 1,500) Make sure you lose more than 500 calories each day subtracting the calorie intake. That way you ll see results in 1 month. ^^. And when cooking. Trying dancing at the same time,.
Well, you can start with checking what is in your fridge. If you see any 2 of the five ingredients on the label, THROW them out. 1) Hydrogenated oil or Partially Hydrogenated Oil2) Sugar3) High Fructose Corn Syrup4) Enriched Flour5) Bleached FlourThese 5 normal everyday ingredients the the most UNHEALTHIEST thing on your everyday processed foods. If you can avoid them outright, you will live long and lost a lot of weight.To cut down on fat, eat high-protein and high-fiber. Lower your intake on Carbohydrates (which includes processed grains like white rice and white bread, go for whole grains).Take 6 meals a day (yes, 6) 3 major meals and 3 light snacks of fruits and vegetables. Won t this make you fat? No. Provided you eat within the limits you will boost metabolism and paired with exercise build muscles faster. This quick build of lean muscle will speed up your metabolism so you consume more calories maintaining the muscles.Ideally take a meal then in-between take something light and high in fiber such as fruits, nuts, yogurt etc. Avoid processed foods. The food will help maintain those lean muscles so you don t lose them.If you follow the meal pattern, you will be starving every morning which means your metabolism is working. As for exercise, i do recommend the best and easiest is swimming. You swim 30 minutes per day for 5 days and record the most number of laps you can do. Every week add one more lap in the same 30 minutes.Have a stair at home? Climb stairs a few laps for 10 minutes every morning and every evening. Add another lap every week.Going shopping? Use the stairs. Avoid using escalators and elevators.You don t have to change your whole life, just make some improvements and you ll be surprised at the results. ^_^
