Eat less, eat healthy, be aware of what you put in the mouth, exercise, find an exercise that suits you. It is almost impossible to lose in one spot, but if that is where your fat has built up, that is where it will show quickest when you start to lose weight. diets don't work. knowledge and common sense do.

Yes It worked - and it was wonderful - It does take a lot of discipline but you see the weight coming off and it makes you feel soooo good- The nutrients they sell ( I think thats how they make their money) are what gets you going and fill in where you miss food.\nI used to weigh 149 when I went on it - and I weighed 116 when I was done - I did it in 4 months and it stayed off for a while- Of course if you dont make your diet a habit, you will gain the weight back slowly- I weigh 135 now ( 7 years later).\nYou should try it - Good luck

I tried to lose weight for a while, and no amount of cardio got off the last 30 or so pounds.  I was introduced to a cleansing and nutritional system by my mom, who lost something like 40 pounds in a few months.  Anyway, I got on this cleansing system, which cleans out toxins and impurities in your body and i lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks, energy is super high, and just felt awesome. It's been over a year now, and I've kept it off with this system and feel great every day.  If you're looking at a great way to safely and quickly take off fat and get healthy, you should give this a good look.  I'd be glad to share it with you, send me a message. Good luck!

Sign up for weight watchers.   Of all weight loss programs, they are the ones that have the most success in losing the weight and keeping it off. \n\nOf all the people who do it, they average losing 2 pounds a week.   Some people can do that or more, some will lose a pound or less, but do the math over 52 weeks.   What's more there's people there going thru the same exact thing you are and they all give each other support when there's bad days as well as pats on the back when there's good ones.\n\nI've lost about 40 pounds so far and want to lose about 70 - 80 more.   I know it's doable (all 80 pounds is, is 40 twice, right - I've done 40, so I can do 2 more 40s).  I hope that was motivating for you....   It motivated me.. tomorrow is my weekly weigh-in and I'm feeling psyched!!.

my parents are both health fanatics. i, unfortunately, am not. However,  for a play i was in i needed to lose about 10 lbs to fit into the costume i was supposed to wear. I'm the type of person who hates going to the gym.. and loves chocolate.  I found myself in the same situation as you.. needing to lose the weight fast. So my parents suggested a reward program for me.. that would have negitive consequences if i didnt stick to it.  I ate about 5 SMALL meals at the same time each day, with half an hour of elliptical 3 days a week. I drank about 10- 12 glasses of water a day, and stayed away from foods high in sodium so that i would lose water weight.  I ate oatmeal as a breakfast with a chocolate flavored protein in it, which made it taste so amazing, i couldnt believe what i was eating was healthy!  I bought a dress that was too tight for me and threw away the tags as motivation.  It was different, and honestly annoying at first.. but after about the second week, i got into the habit and my body got use to doing exercise and eating semi-healthy foods and drinking lots of water. I have stayed in this lifestyle for about 4 months now, and i honestly couldnt be happier. I have energy and motivation in my life, not to mention how hot i look in that dress i bought!! I didnt think i could do it.. and it never worked before... but you can do it TOO!!  If you need motivation.. I believe in you. YOU can make it happen.

It is the perfect cleanser, you get lots of energy, clarity, and the vanity part 20 lbs. less weight.\nyou have to want to do this. you have to commit. The results are wonderful. I was NEVER hungry, still had friends over and cooked for them and WATCHED. They were so amazed by me. Speed walk 3 miles, listen to good music. Be good to yourself. Good luck\nI do it once a yr. Maybe we should do it together.

have you been eating more?  How long are you working out? and hour? half hour? Remember first that muscle weighs more than fat does..really...most adults should strive for 30 minutes of exercise everyday..to loose weight you'll need to increase your cardio and decrease your caloric intake..lost 22 pounds this summer...was really strict w/calories..no junk, no mid am snack, mid pm snack was steamed veggies, reminded myself that it was okay to be hungry, and worked out 5-6 days a week for a minimum of 60  minutes, more like 90 minutes a day...drank tons of water and iced tea..it worked but it was hard work...you can do this..have an epiphany to change your life and embrace good health

The answer depends on where you are starting... it would be better to ask what is a healthy rate of weight loss and then talk about what a healthy target weight is.  Here are some ideas.\n\n\nOn Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common questions amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThere is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nThere is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then

I love Dr Phil for one reason and here it is\n\nHe continually asks his guests one simple question: "How's it working for you?"\n\nSuccess in anything comes from FINDING WHAT WORKS then DOING WHAT WORKS.\n\nI am going to reveal to you the Secret Weight Loss Formula that Celebrity personal trainer don’t want you to know about.\n\nBefore I reveal the secret, first I need to explain to you that there is process that your body goes through to burn body fat. \n\nSo how does your body burn fat?\n\nIt is a 2 steps process and in order you need to:\n1.Release the fat from the fat cells and only then\n2.You can burn the fat\n\n\nThat process is the same for every human being. I will outline the steps and then show you how you can easily apply some fundamental rules to allow your body to burn the maximum amount of fat with less effort and minimum time. Once you understand that simple process, you can easily see why you are not getting the results that you want. Even bigger, you will finally see that getting that dream body is getting so much closer to reality that you will be extremely motivated to get started as soon as you can.\n\nHow does your body release the fat from the cells?\n\nBefore you can turn your body into a fat burning machine, here what needs to happen: your body fat need to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program. Here are some specific tips that you can apply right away to achieve that.\n\n1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.\n2.Include small amounts of good fats.\n3.Eat natural foods; avoid processed & refined foods\n4.Eat lean proteins with each meal.\n5.Eat more complex carbs, fruits & vegetables.\n\nThe most misunderstood weight loss strategy. How to burn the *fat* instead of burning muscles.\n\nReleasing fat from the fat cells is not the end of it; actually, it is just the beginning. Because the fat needs to be transported from the fat cells to your muscles so it can be burned there. This is done through your blood and the cardiovascular system is responsible for that. The more effective is that system, the more effective your body will become at burning fat. You can improve your cardio vascular system by doing so cardio training.  However, don’t go out yet and spend 1 hour on the treadmill because you probably not going to be doing too much good like that.\n\nThe reason is excessive cardio combined with a restrictive diet burns fat but mostly muscle tissue. That is not a good thing at all, because muscle tissue is where you burn the fat and if you are burning away muscle tissue, you are burning your ability to burn more fat in the future (weight loss plateau). You just don’t cut the hand that feed you. So cardio burns fat and it can also burn muscle tissue, this is a huge dilemma. Damn if you do, damn if you don’t. But wait there is a solution to that…\n\nYou need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate. \nDoing too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime \nsoon. Here is what you need to do:\n\n1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate\n2.Never diet but consume little fewer calories that you will burn (No starvation diets, Please...)\n\nThe world most efficient “fat burner” is FREE and You already have it.\n\nBefore I reveal to you how personal trainer get those celebrities in the best shape of their life in such short period there is one more thing that I want you to understand. Because it is very important. \nWeight loss marketers always claim that they have the magic “fat burner” that will melt your fat away. The problem is that they have a new one coming out every year, so I wonder if the one from last year was so effective, why we need a new one. Ther

How quickly do you need to loose this weight?  My advice, is to first speak to a Dr. or nutritionist.\nBut, this is what has worked for me:\nI just purchased something called CLA from GNC.  The long name is Conjugated Linoleic Acid.  Basically what it does is turn fat from foods into a form of energy, such as glucose.  It has shown to help Type 2 Diabetes, build immune systems, help weightloss, protect against some cancers, and in some cases improve heart health.  Unfortunately, I have also read that it's not great for those with bad cholesterol.\nIt has helped me.  I've lost about 2 lbs. a week over the last couple of weeks.\nAlso, don't eat less, just eat better.  Cut out preservatives, nitrates, nitrites, salt, trans fat (anything that says  partially hydrogenated), High Frutose Corn Syrup, and soda (especially Diet sodas)etc...  Try organic foods, if you don't already.  Eat lean proteins and whatever you do, don't cut the carbs.  It's brain food and our bodies need it.  \nHonestly, I lost 65 lbs in 6 months just by eating better and taking walks.  Walking is the most effective exercise for weight loss and maintenance.  If the weather isn't good where you live, try turning your housework into a work out.\nSorry it's so long winded.  I hope it helps a bit.

I did lose a lot of weight, over 100 pounds. And that helps with the asthma. I made a conscious effort to lose weight because I knew I could be happier as well as being healthier. I started by going on a diet a year and a half ago and I got a personal trainer, but I definitely have a healthier lifestyle now.

I am, too, trying to "lose" weight. I have the same issues with trying to figure that one out.  I think that as you lose the fat and add the muscle, your weight will eventually stay the same, or increase.  You should maybe base your loss on a fat percentage rather than on actual weight loss.
