Just watch you calories, eating about 1500 a day. Exercise for about 30 a day, jogging or running is great. pounds in a month is easy! stick to this and it ll be fine xx

Start of your morning with either a green tea (it kick starts your metabolism) or hot water with lemon, As for the diet, try something similar to slimming world, i did it and lost 10 pounds in my first week (however i was quite large so it fell off quicker)The average ive seen in the first week is 3-5 pounds, then 1-3 other weeksthen, you either have a red day in which you can eat as much vegetables, lean meat of any kind, fruit and water, you then have 2 A choices (150ml of milk-not full fat) and 2 B choices (2 slices of brown bread, 4oz of rice, pasta, or potatoes)You then have 15 sins each day in which you can use for drinks, snacks, sauces, etc... for a green day, you eat unlimited pasta, potatoes, rice, vegetables, fruit and eggs and then limited meat which can be counted in your B choices, you also have your A choices, and your 15 sins Its a easy plan to follow as long as you get the measurements right Another good tip is eating from small plates, having 6 small meals throughout the day, drinking plenty of water, and not eating after 7pm -8pm at the latest.As for expercise, you want something that targets all over the body, swimming is a good choice as its suitable for anyone, and tones all over your body, try to go 2-3 times a week for an hour, go for a brisk walk before each main meal (breakfast, lunhc, dinner) if possible for 30 minutes-you could try walking your dog or a friends dog, then doing small things such as taking the stairs instead of a lift, if your at a short distance to where ever you need to go, walk there instead of driving or taking the bus.Another tip is do 100 sit ups/crunchies a night, and 100 push ups a night, it takes 5 minutes, and this will tone your bod furtherDont think of it as a diet, think of it as a life style, it doesnt limit you, just gives you a balanced dietheres a website with lots of tips, tricks, and recipies:http://www.slimmingworld.com/healthy_eat��All the best xxx

Losing weight for my modeling? -

NY is really demanding. Most models are at least 5 8 and are 100-110 pounds. I don t think I ll ever get that low. I m 5 7 and 128 right now. I m really thin but have areas I could trim down. Once I trim down completely, I really don t think I ll be that low. Maybe 110-120 if I am lucky. I m not willing to starve myself. I don t want health problems or a dampened metabolism. Do you think I have heavy bones? My dad is under 6 and told me he s over 210. I couldn t believe it. He looks maybe 180. How much more weight can heavy bones ad? I have a small-medium frame. Also, do you have any healthy weight loss tips? Anyone or any models want to share? Thanks!

Your bulk is probably muscle as much as fat. At your size, you don t really want to do a lot of cardio which can increase muscle (in a bad way). You want muscle, but you want LONG muscles. You need to lengthen your muscles. Yoga, ballet and stretching are great ways to elongate your body and loose body mass. Pilates is excellent, if you have a reputable instructor. You shouldn��t ��feel the burn�� as that would indicate a tearing of the muscles (increasing bulk). You should become more flexible during your workouts. Also, watch out for water retention! Excess salt can make you hold water in your tummy, thighs, and glutes. Drink lots of water, but avoid salt at all costs when its show time.Take care of yourself. Watch your stress level. Have a plan for after modeling.

add lots of citrus to your diet. i m sure you ve heard of the grapefruit diet ( a fad in the 80 s ). a new study came out not too long ago showing that there actually is something behind it.i did it with tangerines before i even realized it, and wound up loosing 1lb every 1-2 days. it definately works, you just have to eat the fruit constantly, before and after meals. it s really amazingand yeah, bone width and density differ from person to person. i have heavier or thick bones. i look about the same as girls who weight 5-10lbs less than me, so it s probable.

have your dr do a bone density test.

Just be happy the way you are

Have more sex. Sexerciseing has shown to burn alot of calories depending on how long the guy lasts and/or if toys are used.

I dont think runway modeling is for you if you are only 5 7, but I have never seen you walk and i dont know how good you are. I think but I think cardio would be your best bet. Cardio and dieting will take the weight off. and if at the end of that you are only 120, i REALLY dont think runway is for you. BUT there is still commerical print modeling, which mite be better for you. GOOD LUCK!! I hope it all works out for the best. wait commercial print, you dont have to be a stick figure, so just get into the best shape you can. commercial really has No hight or weight requirements. it a plus to be a smaller weight, but not required. so just work out, eat right, and keep your body in good up. also if you gain muscle you would be perfect for sports ads, I know a lot of girls who have done it.

Training and weight loss tips plz? -

im 5 10, 143 pounds and about 8-10% body fat varying by day and im trying for 4-5% bodyfat i exersize 5-6 days a week usually swim distance butterfly about 2-4 thousand meters butterfly and other stuff and either run 4 miles or do eliptical and eat 12-1500 calories a day but ive hit a plateau and ive been same bodyfat and weight for about a month any tips for different exersizes? btw i weight train 3-4 times a week usually every other day

youve probably plateaued because even to get to 8-10% body fat is quite hard if your not naturally thin.4-5% would be extremely hard to get down to. the only people i know that go that far down are bodybuilders when there in a competition.i dont think you can stay at that low a body fat as the body needs fat.fat burning supplements, reduced carb and fat diet, and exercise. i think would be the only way to get down to that % of bodyfat.

Diet, weight loss tips? -

has anyone got any little tips which will speed up my metabolism OR general ways which will work together and help me loose weight more rapidly, it doesnt really matter if it stays off or not but i need to loose around 10lbs as soon as possible :) i know i have to be a little patient but im pretty desperate.any tips or ideas are great, thank you x

-healthy eating-cardio-stength training-green tea with caffine-5 or 6 small meals a day-not snacking-fasting one day a week- cheat days!!! (eat what you want it boosts ur metab)-stand rather than sit-make it fun

LittleStar, in order to lose weight rapidly, you will need to speed up your metabolism rate and do some exercises. In order to speed up your metabolism rate, I would recommend a diet called Calorie Shifting. I think you might have heard of it. It is basically a low calorie diet, but you are switching the amount of calorie consumption so that you can increase your body metabolism rate. You might want to try this diet because the result is pretty good. You can get a free 7 days sample menu below.

Try the Wu-Yi Tea Diet: http://WuYiTeaDiet.infoIt helped me lose 8 lbs. in the past 2 weeks.

Ok well Im on Weightwatchers and like you want to speed up the weightloss this month, Ive done alot of reading and a couple of really easy tips are as follows, which seem to really curb cravings thus helping you lose weight quicker:- Always eat a healthy filling breakfast such as porridge no later than 2 hours after you wake up, this will get your metabolism going waiting longer will slow it down.- Try and stay away from carbs (rice, pasta, potatoes) as they trigger your sweet cravings and make dieting all that harder also proteins will keep you fuller longer without that sluggish feeling- Try and stay away from carbonated drinks again they leave you feeling gassy and wanting sugar- Aim to eat breakfast 2 hours after you wake up , lunch 5 hours after that and dinner 5 hours after that with only fruit (no banas) or veg inbetween.If you can do that youll be sure to drop the weight quicker. Oh and drinking green tea is supposed to be very good too. Id also definitly try starting weightwatchers, this is by far the most sensible and long term solution there is out there. take a look at their site www.weightwatchers.com and see if you want to get started on it. You could lose that 10pounds in a month if you stick to it religously. Dont waste your time on any other fad diets they are all acomplete waste of time (trust me I have tried them all!). Obviously if you can excercise this will make huge difference. Good luck :-)

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/ca�� This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com

Whenever you are trying to lose weight, you should concentrate on these three things which all work together in providing a healthier and quicker weight loss goal for yourself. I have found this combination really successful in my weight loss plans. The first thing is exercising and how much you can put forth into it. The more you exercise, the more results you will see. The next thing is dieting and the calorie intake. If you exercise more, technically you could eat more? Always watch what you eat.Now the last step in a good weight loss plan is always a good diet pill that can help you get to the end of the road. I have found Proactol which is a natural herbal diet pill to be the best around. It s an appetite suppressant along with being a fat blocker which stops up to 28% of fat you eat. Read up about it at TheWeightLossPlace .com where I saved money on it. Proactol really works well with exercising which gives you plenty of energy to perform. Along with that your diet will be affected by Proactol due to the appetite suppressant and fat blocker. If you slip up on meals, the fat blocker kicks in. It s really great to stop food cravings.Concentrate on those three things and the combination is deadly for the fat cells in your body. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Can anyone suggest some weight loss tips? -

I m transferring to a new school in August and I want to lose weight so I look and feel better. A gym is pretty much out of the question because I can t find one that is willing to let me do less then a one year contract.Can you suggest some exercises I can do at home?Should I be walking in the park? How much?Also what are some good foods for me to eat?Any help is appreciated!!!

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).

This is probably going to be all stuff you have heard before but;1. Eat well, three fruits, two veg, at least (ideally more) one good protein source and two-three good carbohydrate sources. A DAY.2. Try to get 4-5 30min exercise sessions A WEEK. This means you should work up a sweat you don t necessarily have to sprint for 30mins etc.Tried swimming? It is probably one of the best exercised to do to loose weight as it requires little effort, is easy on the joints, and burns lots of calories. Why not make this one of your 4-5 exercises a week. Swim on the weekends and walk midweek say?3. Don t expect immediate results, try to make it part of your routine until you are happy with yourself.

For me time was a problem. I couldn t hang out at a Gym everynight and my day was to busy. I discovered Hoodia, an all natural weight supplement.I noticed results in a week. I lost 2 pounds and felt great. Just be careful there are a lot of imitations out there. Unique Hoodia guarantees 100% Hoodia in there product Guaranteed. It costs a bit more but it works.Here is a review site, I hope it helps!

swiming helps like mad i lost 4 pounds in just 2 daysand even running but since ur gym is out u could go running in ur nabourhood becuz for basketball practice coach makes ur run like hell ur legs fell like they r going to fall of so i lost loads of weight at home u can do skipping dat realy help skip for atleast 15 min sit ups do 20 everyday (its really good for ur stomach) and u can also do this : let ur back face the bed put ur hand the edge of ur bed and bend ur knees and to go down but make shur u dont touch the floorhope this help ohh and stay of the chocolates they make u put on alot of weight

Ride a bike, buy some exercise videos, take a dance class, etc. As to foods, try to get in 5-7 servings of fruit/veggies, 2-3 of dairy, 2 teaspoons of healthy oil, and lots of water.

Weight Loss Tips for teens? -

I am 16 and very active. I play lacrosse for 4 hours a week, swim competitvly for 14 hours a week, and do various types of dance for 12 hours a week. I m a lacto-vegetarian (I eat no meat or eggs). I was just diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, and my doctor told me that I should loose wight and it would help. I m 5 6 and my waist is 34 inches around at the widest part and I weigh 185 pounds. Any tips to help me loose weight? ThanksPLease do be polite. This is a serious question, I really want to improve my slef.

Tips:#1.) You might confuse hunger for thirst so before you go and grab somthing to eat drink some water and give it a few minutes to settle. If you re still hungry go eat an apple or maybe a few grapes and wait untill your next meal.2.) You might think your hungry when your not. Or you just want to eat because theres food in the fridge. When you know your hungry is when you start to get stomach cramps.3.) Dont starve yourself on a bad diet! Go on a healthy diet. They work alot better then not eating at all. 4.)You should research about food and the calories and fat. It will help you think again when your about to eat a huge bowl of icecream.5.) You should eat one serving of every food group (but try to not have so much of the sugars). A serving is about a palm full of what ever your eating. Or 3/4th a cup.6.) Make sure you get enough excersice! Thats very important! You should go out for quick jog s in the morning before school. Scientests have prooved that you loose 3/4th s more body fat by running in the morning rather than evening or night. That dosnt mean jogging in the evening is bad ( it still burns fat) its just easier to burn fat in the morning.7.) Remember to feel good about yourself! That is very important the more mentally challanged to do this the better!(p.s.) Loosing fat takes time so dont get mad when you dont burn 10 pounds the first day! I hope this helps!

how can you weigh that much but have skinny small waist and only be that height?

Do pilates. . they work like you would not believe,maybe join the spin class at your local gym as well?Im assuming most of your mass is related to muscle. . so i wouldnt honestly excpect to lose that much weight if i were you. . but pilates and yoga are great.

eat several small meals throughout the day.choose high protein foods rather than carbs which digest quickly so you don t feel as hungry through out the day.

Well, sice you re already obviously really active, and you are a lacto-vegetarian (fight the power!), I would just cut out the majority of the junk food from yuor diet, and drink plenty of water. Lifting weights is also actually a good way to lose, because it builds muscle that burns dreaded f*t. Good luck!

Teen girls, what do you do to lose weight? -

hi im 16 and trying to lose around 20-30 lbs. i was just wondering if any other teens had weight loss tips or suggestions? thanks!

i do yoga on tuesday, hot yoga on friday, and belly dancing on thursday.

1. When you feel hungry, have a glass of water first. We re so out of touch with our bodies hunger/thirst signals that sometimes when we think we re hungry we re actually just dehydrated. 2. If you re still hungry, have a half of a grilled chicken breast with a salad or steamed vegetables. The protein from the chicken is slow burning, so it will keep your hunger satisfied for a longer period of time than carbohydrates do. The vegetables are full of nutrients, which will also leave your body satisfied, simply because we don t tend to be hungry as much if we are getting all of the nutrients we need. 3. Watch what you snack on. If you normally snack on chips or sweets, substitute the chips for red grapes (great for your heart) or blueberries (rich in amino acids). Or apples, which are rich in fiber. Sometimes when I m craving salty foods I will eat tortilla chips or sun chips instead of potato chips. The sun chips, again, are rich in fiber and the tortilla chips are low fat. 4. Walk for an hour every day. This doesn t have to be all at once, but if you can avoid driving, do it. Ask one of your friends to be your walking buddy. My ex-boyfriend lost 8 pounds in two weeks when he came out to the midwest to visit me because I don t have a car and he was walking every place instead of driving. 5. If walking isn t your thing, try doing yoga, aerobics or pilates. I was in the best shape of my life when I was training to be a yoga teacher (I weighed 110 pounds at 5 3 . I now weigh something like 120 at 5 3 because I went away to college and gained the transfer 10.) 6. Allow yourself one day every week where you don t watch what you eat. It ll make your lifestyle changes easier to adjust to. 7. Eat until you re 80% full. Don t eat until you re gut-busted, but stop eating when you feel satisfied. Not hungry, not gut-busted, but satisfied. Edit: To the poster below me, good call. The associate minister at my church lost 20 pounds when she first started doing bikram (hot yoga) ten years ago. As a certified yoga instructor, I would recommend that you increase your water intake if you re going to do Bikram yoga though. Instead of 8 ounces of water, drink an entire gallon (over the course of the day, not all at once.)

Eat five small, basic meals a day. Try to incorporate all the major food groups, and try to avoid sugar as much as you can. You can still have sweets, but not every day, just on Monday as a pick-me-up or on Friday as a celebratory treat. Exercise, but make sure it s something you enjoy, or, if you re like me and don t really enjoy sports of any kind, just take a brisk walk as often as possible. Also, don t get discouraged when you don t lose as much weight as you want to as quickly as you want to---these things take time and patience. :) Good luck.

Try walking on a daily basis for about 30 minutes to begin with. Increase the amount of time as you feel more comfortable doing so. After about 2 weeks you should introduce 30 seconds of jogging followed by 2 minutes of walking for the entire time that you are excercising. This will increase your level of fitness and is a great way to start excercising =]Good luck xx

After school, my friend and I go to the gym everyday!I also get up 30 mins earlier to take a walk in the morning before school. And also, I bring my own homelunch to school instead of eating their food. I usually eat a salad for lunch. Plus, it s good to have eggs for breakfast because eggs have lots of protiene, and protiene keeps you full longer. So you don t feel as hungry. Then when I get home from school/ the gym, I have a small snack like an apple, and then I just go about the rest of my day, and then have a small dinner because your metabolism is slower at night so you gain more calories at night, so its good to eat light at night lol!

well i was sick and i only ate 1 meal a day and sometimes i would just snack on something but drink lost of liquids and i lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. but i run a lot and i work out and that helps. also cut your meals like in half and when you feel the urge to snack on junk food, chew gum or drink some water

The best and fastest way that I lose weight is to just eat fruits and veggies. But then after about 3 weeks my brain starts feeling like it s dead, so I can t really do that for long periods of time Lol That s what works for me though...and then I put it back on (I need to figure out the solution to that part...)

Just cut down on the junk food ( sweets and crisps) and fizzy juicesEat more fruit and veg, and drink water, or fruit juice rather than fizzy juiceAnd exercise.Go to the gym for a while every weekOr go swimming, or just go for walks

if you want a system try weight watchers I m 16 and i ve been on it for about a month and lost like 8 pounds. its so great and the stuff im learning i can use for the rest of my life

exercize and eat healthier!also dont weigh yourself everday (watched pot never boils)

um... yeah the not weighing yourself thing really does work. Studies have proven that you lose more weight when you dont weigh yourself often, they have no idea why. But if you really want a diet to fit your lifestyle and to help you lose faster and to do a plan that fits your need I suggest that you go see a nutritionist and a doctor. Every diet doesnt work for everyone.xoxo Jeana

best thing is get hooked on water and walk as much as possible walk walk walk its the best workout and the easiest really stead of driving or rideing walk and replace soda and juice with water . jumping jacks whenever you in ya room just put music on and start jumping lol and danceing is a good work out turn the music up and dance till you work up a sweat 3 it can be crazy cuz only you will see lol just work up a sweat for bout 30min the sit down catch ya breath and drink sum water and only eat when your really hungry not because your bored 3 good luck and o yea im 17 3

just eat healthy and exercise its any ones best bet!!

im have been tryin to lose weight for a while and i haven t been able to, its easy to gain weight but not lose it lol. than i gave up and now im doing it a way NO ONE should but yeah lol im on a crash diet right now, dont ever do it lol i don t even know why i do it. I would suggest eating healthier like eat salads, vegetables, and fruits and stuff and exercise
