Effective weight loss tips? -

I have put on a few extra pounds due to the holiday season! I would like to lose about 15 pounds. Here is the problem, I work 10 hour days then come home and cook dinner for my man and clean etc. Basically I do everything around the house because he works 12 hour days. So i have very limited time for exercise and while I try to buy healthy foods, I often have to just grab something quick to microwave etc. How can i lose these extra pounds with out much money?

EAT BREAKFASTwith in the first 2 hour you wake up eat a fruit or a packet of oatmeal not only will you get energy for the day it will jump start your metabolism.EAT MORE OFTEN 5-6 TIMES A DAY WELL BALANCEDthis keeps it going your constantly burning small meals and snacksWHEN YOUR A CLEANING AND COOKING TURN ON THE RADIOi like to clean and cook with the radio on it gets me up and moving dance around enjoy the music it can be fun excersizealso if you go to a sporting good store and buy a sweat suit you can sweat wile you cook and cleanDON T EAT LATE OR AT LEASE 3 HOUR BEFORE YOU GO TO BEDLOTS OF SEX YOU GOT A MAN USE HIM THAT GOOD OL WHOLESOME EXCERSIZETRY TO DRINK BEVERAGES THAT ARE ROOM TEMPERATURE COLD BEVERAGES AREN T SO GOOD FOR YOUR TUMMYAND IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING COLD LIKE CEREAL IN THE MORNING DRINKING A CUP OF COFFEE RIGHT AFTER COULD CLEAN YOU OUT TRY CHEERIOS THEIR HIGH IN FIBERcutting food and eating less will make you gain weight i have tried many diets they dont last long because when i get to where i want to they are hard to maintain. if you create better eating and excersize habits it will stay with you. i have been dieting for years and this is the only on where i dont deprive my self i have energy and i enjoy what i am doing.also when you go out with your men go to places where you know you ll have to be active to enjoy like go dancing or laser tagging or get a wii and have wii timeif you enjoy it it will stay with you and if u miss a day it wont hurt

Eat slower--your body needs about 20 minutes to know when it s full.Get in the habit of leaving food on your plate. This way, you condition yourself to not believe you have to eat everything. Drink green tea. It s a great fat burner and fights free radicals in the body, so it is an antioxidant too! Younger looking skin! Don t eat in front of the TV. Your blood goes to your brain rather than your digestive system and stores what you eat rather than processing it.If you have an extra 10-20 minutes (maybe while watching the TV you didn t watch during dinner), do some leg lifts, crunches, squats or whatever to get the blood pumping and the calories burning.It s easy!Good luck!

limited time for exercise is a problem... would you have limited time for brushing teeth, hair bathing and such? It just HAS got to be part of those things. It will help you get everything else done much faster anyway! Trust me.. you must move, dance, cardio, find something and stick with it until it becomes part of you. it is no secret, no tricks just a simple math. Calories in/ calories out. USE the calories you eat, period. I recommend the elliptical...watch a tv show that s educational at the same time and you ve got even more done :)

the best way to lose weight is to eat healthy. diets arent the best for your body and cut back in food. you need to eat proper serving sizes and eat carbs, proteins, veggies, a fruit as a snack and drink a non sugar drink with every meal. drink plenty of water! a glass of water before a meal cuts back on your foods and makes you less hungry. This worked with me, i suggest you get a nutriionist to talk to you. Best of luck and dont give up!

ok, you just have to make the snacks more healthy, like low in calories, avoid the elevators and make your self more active..trust me, it works. also remember 5 small meals is better than 3 big meals in a day..squeeze out a time for workout, 30mins or 15mins exercise will do..

Every body wants to find a quick and easy way to lose weight. But it takes time and a lot of hard work. If you really want to lose weight you will make time to exercise. Cardio is key. Run, run, run, run. Run at lest and hour a day at a high speed. And make sure to eat right. Its very basic information but trust me its what works best!

its difficult to lose weight wihtout working out but not impossible, but you will have to watch your calories very closely, if you must microwave, try to get southbeach diet meals at least. try to find time for exercise though, it ll do you good not just with your weight but also stress levels!

I had a surplus of pounds in all the wrong zones until I tried acai berry, I know they say that pills don t work, however they certainly worked for me, and they have been shown on CNN too. There is a free trial going on currently at http://veravetg.gtopala.info , give it a try, what have you got to lose?

Well you sound like me :P except for the man part. lol! Well moving around more will help...like instead of an elevator use the stairs ect. Drinking water helps along with trying to cut out salt as much as you can. Smaller portions will help too. But the main thing is that you have to stick with it and have the will power.

1 Cut out all sugar.2 eat fruit for breakfast, a salad with protein for lunch, and a full meal at supper3 do not eat after 7 pm4 park as far away from wherever you are going as you can. Take the stairs every chance you have. Carry a small 5 pound ankle weight everywhere.

Sit down and make a list of all the HEALTHY foods / recipes/ restaurant dishes you actually like. When you are hungry, only select meals from your list. The reason this works is because the list is of stuff you actually like.

Read this then watch the video on how unique exercise workouts can reduce your weight and tone certain body parts.http://hubpages.com/hub/What-is-the-Best��

replace one meal with a salad and burn half of the other calories of each day on the treadmill, i ve been doing it and i lost 20 pounds in a good few weeks.

I find the best method that many models use it eat when you are hungry so when your stomach feels empty. And don t give into craving and work out at least 3 times a week.

put plastic wrap on your belly. it will sweat a lot and thus lose weight.

Eat less.

chinese tea ! :) drink it daily tho. :)

1)eat a small breakfast within the first hour you wake up such as a:light (low cal) yogurt a fruit cupor a low cal breakfast bar this keeps your matabolism up2) dont eat 4 hours before bed time3) make sit down dinners/lunchesIt is scientifically proven that if you eat in front of the TV, while driving, or standing at a counter you have up to 30% cal intake more then if you eat a sit down dinner at the table because when your doing those other things it distracts from what your putting in your mouth.4) take a breath between each bite. It takes atleast 20 min for brain to tell you when your full. If you mow down everything on your plate like there is no tomorrow then you may get over full and you will feel gross later but if you take your time you will eat a proper amount because your stomach will be able to tell you when its full faster.5) PROTEIN a big matabolism boost keep it in your diet Fish is a good lean protein or if you tend to stay away from the deli you can try supplements.:D good luck

Tips on eating right and dieting? -

I m in college trying to prevent myself from gaining much wieght. i try to work out 4 times a week but I have horrible binging problems and late in the evening I always grab a bag of popcorn or something fattening. Any tips on how to control what food you eat and any weight loss tips?

Try to eat fruits and vegetables as much as possible. Take dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime. For example if you sleep at10 p.m. then take dinner before 7 or 8p.m. This seems very innocuous but it really works wonders when you are trying to lose weight. Take several small meals throughout the day rather than taking 2 or 3 heavy meals. Fix your timings for each meal. Often a signal for thirst is misunderstood by people as a signal for hunger so drink water as much as possible. Try to keep yourself engaged in different activities which will help you to take your attention off the food. As far as exercise is concerned, weight training is very effective to burn more and more calories. Running can also be very effective in burning fats in our body. This is because when we run, fat from all over the body is burned at the same time. Cardio exercises are also important to stay in shape.

I do have a suggestion for weight loss. My parents tried the 6 week body makeover thing, and it worked like you wouldn t believe. They had both lost considerable amounts of weight and size even, and gained a lot of energy. And i think they were on it like 4 to 6 weeks before quitting (time reasons). So if you need to loose some weight give it a try. I definitly recomend it. Good Luck.

There are healthier choices , keep veggies and fruit around and buy the 98% fat free popcorn

Continue working out and try to get your friends to exercise along with you. Get rid of the junk and get some good food! Drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water each day. Every time you feel like eating that fattening popcorn, drink 2 glasses of water and if you must, take a fruit instead. Try to do something to keep your mind off food, like reading or studying (without eating!). All the best!

Get rid of any bad foods in your apartment or dorm. Not having it around helps. Stock up on healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. When I have snacks in the evening (which I try not to eat past 7:30) I cut up an apple, wash some grapes and throw in a kiwi or nectarine. I feel a lot better after eating that than I would a twinkie or something. Best of luck!

Cardio + Light weight training + Proper Diet = Goal* Eat whole foodTop weight loss tipsEat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine. Suggest eating veggies, fruits, and proteins. Stay away from junk food, fried food, and anything else that you feel is bad for you.* Eat fresh fruitEat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season. Also consume protein because both fruits and protein can fill you up and it makes your stomach seem like its full.* Drink enough waterDrink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.* Always chew your foodAlways chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.* Take small mealsEat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal. That means eat 5-6 meals a day instead of 3 huge meals a day.* Include protein at mealInclude good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.* Shut off TV while eatingShut off the TV whenever you eat �C that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!* Increase your physical activity ( Cardio )Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It��s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you��ll stick with it.*Weight training ( Light 5 to 10 lbs )buy some dumbells that are 5-10 lbs and do some exercises with them. Search google: Dumbell exercises and you will see a bunch of useful links along with pictures and description on how to do it. When gaining weight but your doing everything correctly and see changes in your shape, that means you are building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat so dont be alarmed when that happens. You can workout in front of the TV and watch your favorite episode of whatever and it will make time go by fasterThe website below has many different exercises listed and it has pictures to go along to show you how its properly donehttp://www.exrx.net/Here are some other useful siteshttp://www.diet-tips.com/exercise/index.��http://www.toloseweight.org/Best of luck to you.

Ummmmmmmmm help!? -

okay NO MEAN COMMENTSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!but I was wonderingggum what does it take to be doll likealmost like barbie....perfect featuresyou know?well let me know.please give weight loss tips, beauty (hair makeup) and attitudethanks lovesxoxo

wow that is totally my subject you have no idea! lol. Well, to start... you need to love your features the way they are...just enhance them a little bit. Weight Loss? Aerobics. no workout machines either, they dont give results trust me. do yoga and pilates, because you wont get bulky. Youll get lean, long muscles. Go walking 4 nights out of the week. Get yourself a little dog and take him with you its SO much more motivating than walking by yourself hahah at least thats what i think. Beauty? first decide if you need to conceal imperfections (acne, scars, rosasea) or you like your complexion. If you have imperfections start out with an oil-free foundation that is one shade lighter than your skin tone. Next, get yourself solid powder in your skin tone. Never ever use the sponge they give you with the solid powder, just throw it out. You need to get a big blush brush from a beauty outlet and apply the powder by making little circle motions all over your face, staying away from your eyelashes and eyebrows. If you dont have imperfections on your face, skip the foundation step. Next, pick color for your cheeks. If you have a light or pale skin tone pick a rosy pink solid blush. If you are olive or tan, pick a bronze solid blush. still, throw out the sponge and use a separate big blush brush. Again, make little circles that go from your cheek bones up to the ends of your eyebrows. kind of like the letter L. For your eyes, if you have thin or short eyelashes, invest in some false eyelashes. There really is no need for eyeshadow or eyeliner if you have good eyelashes. Use a thickening and lengthening mascara, even on false lashes. On your eyelids, brush on a color that is 3 shades darker than your skin tone just to the crease and no further. Use a teeth whitener like Crest Whitestrips, i find that even if you have crooked teeth, if they are very white it takes all the attention off of the crookedness. For your hair, go with your natural color because eyebrows that dont match your hair makes you look tacky. what were going for is classy. If you want to be blonde, add thin blonde highlights, nothing chunky. If you want to go darker, dye your hair darker, and fill in your eyebrows with a matching color. I could go forever about hair, if you want advice for your hair just email me. Attitude? just be yourself. when you give yourself a makeover and think you look great it automatically gives you this kind of attitude that i guess barbie would have. Do whatever it takes to make you feel glamorous and you will act like barbie without even noticing it! hahaha. Ok hope you liked my advice, love, kriss

Bleached blonde hair, a fake tan, pink lipstick and a perfect body.

did you know that its impossible for barbie to be a real person? its impossible for someone to have her meausurements, human size. if that makes sense.

Theres a lot of BS going around about dieting, the main thing is you need to work out everyday, get a lot of sleep, sleep speeds metabolismAlso, the best tip is EAT 5 TIMES a day, this will make you burn fat like crazy., by 5 meals i mean small meals, of course.Big meals are difficult to burn off ! Especially at night., yes a food diary is good it helps you stay on track. I would also suggest though, to not deprive yourself. Like allow a little leeway every now and then. Sounds like you are doing well. Another thing that would help you is too have a friend to lose weight at the same time, you could support eachother

Hei try this three day diet program. The three day diet is an easy to follow diet that lasts for only three days. It s the perfect diet for when you want to lose a couple pounds fast. Be sure to consult your doctor before starting any diet.Daily Instructions:Drink 4 glasses of water or diet soda per day.

Just eat healthy and exercise. Your plan is a very good one, as long as those are foods you enjoy. Don t deprive yourself or it will backfire. DON T do that stupid 3 day diet!!! That s WAY too much coffee and junk in there, and DIETS DON T WORK! Eat right and exercise, and give yourself a little treat here and there. The other poster is right, 5 SMALL meals a day is a great way to do it, that s what I do. =) If you like peppermint patties, buy some to give yourself a good treat every day. They re great for a snack when you crave candy. Make breakfast your BIGGEST meal.xxx

Fastest way to lose 10- 15 pounds...? -

all i need to lose is about 10 or 15 pounds and the problem is that i don t have time or money to work out at a gym. i walk to and from school and that is about 2 miles a day. is there a certain diet i should go on?? what are some of your easy weight loss tips??? thanks!!

If you want to lose weight, you need to two things: eat less and exercise more. Weight gain happens when you create a calorie surplus (eat more than you burn). Your body takes the excess calories and converts them to fat which get stored around your stomach, arms and thighs. The longer you remain in a calorie surplus, the more weight you ll gain. To lose that weight, you need to do the opposite. You need to create a calorie deficit (start eating less than you burn). Your first step is to figure out how many calories you burn on a daily basis. This calculator will help you out http://calorieneedscalculator.com The number you get from this tool is what your body burns on a daily basis. To lose weight, simply eat less. It sounds a lot easier than it is but making small changes helps you adjust to a new lifestyle. Don t think of this as a diet, think of it as a new life. Instead of eating foods high in sugars, white flour and saturated fat, go with fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, fish, lean meats, nuts and beans. In addition to eating less, you also need to exercise more. Start off at 1-2 times per week and work your way up to 3-5 times per week.Don t make all of these changes at once or you won t be able to properly adjust to them. Generally, eating healthier foods will decrease your calorie intake. Compare a doughnut to an apple and you ll see that healthy foods are lower in calories. You can find some more information at the Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com

I would try this workout. At the same time you will be gaining muscule and burning fat. So its awesome. WHAT YOU LL NEED: Two 5 pounds weights.* means one 5 pound weight in each hand.If you don t have two 5 pound weights try using water bottles full of water.Workout:Stretch*20 Bench Press x3 20 squats x3*20 side arm lifts x320 crunches x320 push-ups x3*20 lunges x320 leg lifts x3Walk for 30 minsStretchStretching before your workout helps you not to pull a muscule during your workout.Stretching after your workout helps you not be AS sore afterward. I try to do this everyday, but I m sure you would get results doing this only 2-4 days a week. I recomend everyday.Eat 1500 calories a day and drink 8 glasses of water daily.You will lose weight and tone up!I ve lost 6 pounds and I ve only been doing it for a week!You can do it! i know you can!You will be sore. and it will hurt but you can do it.Don t be scared to add more excercises of more reps.Hope this works for you!

Weight Loss Tips!!!!! LOOSE THAT 70 POUNDS HELP!!!!? -

Me and my little sister are going to loose weight, during the rest of the summer and so on. I need to loose about 70, she is the same too. I just need some recipes, no exercise I know what to do, but healthy meals. Maybe a website or two.

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).

Well I heard that You have to maintain a good metabolism, like 4-6 small meals a day.I lost 1 pound in 3 days just by excercising 2 hours a day and having 4 small meals. Cut out Peanut Butter/Greasy Foods/ Deep Fried Foods. try to eat lean meat and egg whites and most importantly protein shakes. and if it would still help try looking up exercise videos on youtube. diethealth/charlesjames1975/expert village/video jug has lots of excercise videos. Sparkpeople.com also helps.Goodluck on your diet and I hope this help :]
