I want to lose 16 lbs in one month? -

First off, don t tell me the healthy weight loss per week is 1 to 2 lbs. That s not what I m asking you for. I want to lose 16lbs in a month. I m 14, 5ft, and 131lbs. Losing weight it pretty easy for me. I can easily not change my eating habits and just work out for 30min five times a week and lose 4lbs a week. But I want to change the way I eat this time. That part is what s going to be hard for me. Would this be okay?:breakfast - apple (60 calories)lunch - half ham sandwich (around 120 to 150 calories)dinner - a slim fast (190 calories)workout - treadmill for 30min (burns 250 calories)

I think 16 pounds is possible (maybe it ll be a little hard since your not very heavy). Your meal plan sounds fine but I m thinking you ll need something more energizing for breakfast...maybe oatmeal or some kind of special K bar. I agree that slim fast for dinner doesn t sound too great...why don t you go for veggies and grilled chicken or something? I don t know, its up to you. Good luck!

For a teenager, you need to eat at least 1800 calories a day so that your body stays out of stavation mode and gets all the energy and nutrients it needs. (Teenagers need to eat a lot more than adults, even when trying to lose weight, as they are growing and developing).Why are you so desperate to lose so much so quick? By exercising and eating right, you will become more toned, and lose weight safely, surely your weight isn t worth your health?

Don t eat a ham sandwich if you want to lose weight. Vegetable or bean soup with a side salad for lunch would be good. Or hummus and pita with a side salad, or dipping carrots and broccoli into hummus would be much more nutritious than a pig sandwich.If you want sustained energy have nuts with your apple in the morning. Once you ve adopted healthy eating habits, you will be able to maintain a lower weight.Good luck!

you should eat more then that in 1 day. That is unhealthy you should get about 1200 calories in your body a day. It gives you energy and speeds up your metabolism. Just eat normally! Just cut out the sodas, sweet drinks, junk foods like chips, pasteries, ice cream.Eat fruits, make yourself a parfait those are good and heathy. Put some yogurt at the bottom the chopped fruit, some more yogurt a sprinkle of granola bits and a bit of whip cream to give it a sweet touch.

im not sure thats possible unless you do surgery or take pills.

thats not really that healthy but ya if you want to go ahead.

that d be really hard to do that even if you didnt eat for the whole month

Anyone have any opinions good or bad about Curves for Women? -

I am interested in joining Curves for Women Gym. I have heard and read a few good things about their 6 week Weight Loss program or it may be called the 6 week Challenge Program. Anyone a member there or was a member have any incite on this gym? Prices-contract length s-can you go to all or just 1 of the locations? Details good and bad please. =)

I looked into Curves a few years back. It seemed like a great place. They will let you do a 30 minute workout at no charge if you like. I found that the machines are built for the female body and they are difficult and work well. The only downside I found was that the hours were not that great and there were no showers. In other words, I could not go before work because I had nowhere to get cleaned up.

I joined Oct.30 and didn t really go too often but i lose 10 pounds from the time i signed up till now. I m now going 3 times a week and hoping to lose more. I think it s a great start for women who don t have the time for reg. gyms or haven t worked out in awhile. Report Abuse

i think women look great with curves

Curves is the main player for women.With out curves we can t think about women.

gyms are a waiste of time

Keep em natural./

Well I heard they give allot of money to Republicans.

women can never have to many curves! straight flat up and down women are very boring. baby gotta have lots of back!

Swelling in the ankle/foot? -

When sitting for prolonged periods (eg at the computer) I tend to get a slight swelling/puffiness in my right ankle and foot. I am over weight (not excessively) and unsure if this is just a circulation problem or something else. Anyone have any ideas on how i can alleviate the symptoms?. (I am currently on a weight loss program so please don t just tell me to lose weight)

3 things you can do.1) Keep legs elevated.2) Do heel/toe raises...basically pumping your toes up and down. Muscle contractions in the lower leg assist with circulation ad even blood clots.3) Wear a compression sock or stocking. Ask your doctor about these...you can get them at most major drugstores but certain medical conditions may contraindicate their use such as diabetes.good luck.

Diabetes can do that by causing kidney problems, check your blood sugar.

Espresso to get me going - good or bad? -

im on a weight loss program at the moment, low carb (except for one grapefruit) and about 4-5 cups of espresso, to give me energy. i dont have time to waste im getting married in 4 weeks and i have to lose 3 dress sizes. so on top of this i am doing 3 sets of 30 mins cardio a day..is it ok as its only for a month?

Caffeine is still under debate about its effects on weight loss, all i know is the purpose of caffeine in nature is to kill insects that are trying to eat the plants it comes from (mainly coffee plant and tea bush). So basically, its a pesticide. Nobody is going to tell me it has health benefits. I would replace the espresso with water. If you are exercising, drop the low carb diet - the atkins (low carb) diet is for couch potatoes. If you are exercising your body needs complex carbs for fuel to burn, so you can lose weight. Whole grains, fruit, and vegetables are your friends. Add some resistance training (bands or weights) to your routine to build muscle, the more muscle you have the more calories you burn - even when you are sitting still or sleeping. But yeah, 3 sizes in a month - Ill be crossing my fingers for you - and congradulations by the way!

You d do better to trim down using exercise. If you are doing gym work, concentrate on the equipment that tones your waist, hips and legs, and strength equipment for your upper body. This should end up with you loosing dress sizes and be a more toned shape as well.If you don t have gym membership, try running and situps.Drop the espresso and drink water instead. Eat enough carbohydrates to give you long-term energy.3 dress sizes is a little extreme, and a bit ambitious in 4 weeks, not to mention unhealthy.I m sure you know that you should have started all this at least a year ago.....

i don t know how old you are, which would make a difference.it s not going to kill you, but i m not sure it s going to work either! 3 dress sizes in 4 weeks is hard to attain even if you re Gandhi and you re completely starving. Why did you buy a dress three sizes too small?Maybe if you lose 1-2 sizes you can buy a corset to suck everything else in.But for my money, this is a little bit of a crazy plan. And I say that as someone who has lost a lot of weight in life. Sorry to be a naysayer, but I think you know this is extreme.

I need to lose weight ? -

I m 5 9 165 lbs. That IS in healthy range, but it s at the top of the healthy range. I want to get healthier. I m getting married in October and I want to look my best, but that isn t the only reason I want to lose weight. I want to generally be healthier. WE both need to lose weight.We don t have money to join a gym or join any kind of weight loss program.Any easy cheap suggestions to lose weight would be great!We both want to get healthier!

Invest in a bike and you and your hubby-to-be can ride together, at least 30 minutes a day. Cut the JUNK!!!... Most of all, excuses are made by those who don t want to push themselves. Talk to a nutritionist and/or fitness instructor on some easy exercise routines. i say you use what you have at home like do 3 sets of 10-12 reps curling a gallon of water, be creative. Daily chores around the house is a great calorie burner like vacuuming, washing the car, gardening, It all takes time and patience...

Besides finding other exercises that you are interested in doing, the other thing you can do is change the way you eat.Some ideas:1) Use smaller plates. (Get seconds if you want, but having the initial small plate may signal to your brain that you are fuller!)2) Portion control (don t let your stomach decide when you are full.3) Eat for fibrous food (like green veggies) or use a fiber supplement.Also with exercise -- try walking to do some of your chores instead of your car and also if you have a bike that should be easier on your ankles.If you live in a warm area, try to get outside and not veg :-)GOOD LUCK!!!

Make some dumbbells out of water bottles and use sandbags to exercise with.
