I started at 185 and went to 135. My secret... I used a jump rope in my house. It drove my husband crazy, but I didn't have a gym nor the time during the day to exercise. I would jump rope for 20 minutes a night. I would then do some crunches, push-ups, leglifts, and streching. The whole routine was about 30 minutes at night. There is so much you can do at home. I cannot believe the amount of weight I loss with the jump rope. Now, I do TaeKwanDo and it really pushes me hard at night!\nIf I can do it, I believe you can. Let us know how things are going!

Your probrably going to need to work out more often then three days a week  but here are some guidelines.  the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work to there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck!   Please don't hesitate to IM me at this name if you have anymore questions, i'd be glad to help

my husband used to be a personal trainer - \nbasically you shouldn't do the gym everyday \nyour muscles get torn when you do exercise - so you need to go to the gym one day then do something else like swimming the next so you exercise different muscles\n\nalso eat lots and lots of pasta - this turns into muscle the quickest.\n\ngood luck

Don't over excercise, you'll wear yourself out-\ntry changing it up- go swimming or just walk or if you have some friends that like to excercise ask them to join you or a parent- it can be good bonding time- if you are part of a gym- try some yoga, it's toning and strengthening.\nIf you are still tired, see if maybe certain foods are getting to you, sugary foods and bread can make your system go into a slump making you too tired- try more fruit or vegetables.  If your mom can ask her to get you some Iron - like geritol- personally I take HemaPlex that I get from a natural store- it has alot of other useful vitamins in it.  Also try to have more protein- if you are a vegetarian then have the tofu ...  If you go to the library you can ask the librarian where to find the health books, you can read all about Omega acids and stuff like that that can be useful to you and your family...  Also, sometimes when your tired you just need a quick small walk.\n\nSince you say you are very tired I also urge you to watch out what tim of day you exercise, if it's the middle of the day in very hot weather the sun could just be too much for your body.\n\nDrink plenty of water, sometimes tiredness can stem from not enough water inthe body.  Don't have soda or coffee, the caffiene in those will make you more dehydrated.  Plus thing containing CornSyrup are not really made for the body to break down.  Stay away from diet/fatfree or fake sugar stuff- those are full of harmful chemicals that can also wreak havoc on your body  no matter your age!\n\nTeas like White tea or Green tea can help you with energy as well.  \n\nTry going to bed at a regular time and waking up at a regular time.  "Every half an hour before midnight is more important than any hour after midnight".  Trust me.  But also because there are scientific reasons for it.  The human body actually "repairs" itself at night- I think PBS or anyother medical/health journal at the library or on the net can help you read more about that.  I believe they said your blood and cells are "cleansed" at these crucial hours, especially since you are still young.\n\nLimit the time you spend on the computer to an hour.  Your brain needs real nourishment not just entertainment.\n\nAlso- a book called "eat right for your type" if you know your blood type can point you in the direction of some healthy food for you- if you are eating the right foods then you will notice that your body will not be as tired either.\n\nTalk to your parents.  If this tiredness persists you may want to see a doctor.\nNotice the food you are or have been eating when you feel tired- and let your doctor know about it.\n\nAlso if you must sleep during the day limit it to 20-30 minutes any more than that and it will be harder to sleep at a decent hour at night.\n\nI do wish you the best of luck in this,  sorry I wrote soooo much.

If you're paying for a gym you should go, just go for a half hour, do some cardio, or get a class schedule and go for a class.  You're already paying for it so get going!  You'll feel better once you get back in there, go girl!

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

So many people feel your pain!  It is SO IMPORTANT to stop and remember who comes 1st in this world... You!  So you have to commit to taking 30-45 minutes out of each day to do anything physical.  Even if you just walk.  Avoid elevators and take stairs.  The best way to track your progress is by using a pedometer (step counter).  Aim higher and higher every week.\n\nThe more you exercise, the less fatigued you will feel during the day.  You will sleep better at night too.  It's kinda like your body's way of saying thank you!!!\n\nThere are other ways to get fiber besides potatoes. (link below has more)\n\nFinally, the best way to lose weight is to find a buddy to workout with.  Why?  Because on those days when you feel like saying, "Nah - I'll do it tomorrow." - your friend will be there saying, "NOW BABY!!!".  You won't be sorry.\n\nGood luck!!!

start running...alot.....my suggestion is if you have a treadmill or a stationary bike put it on the interval mode and go all out. try to exercise as intense as possible, this will get results faster.\n\nthe funnest and most practical way is to actually play sports. get some friends together and play volleyball if you can. if not, get some friends and play 2 on 2 pickup basketball full court.....this will really get you in shape....if you cant play b-ball, try some tennis. get a fit friend and challenge her to a game. you run alot especially back n forth which will improve your speed.\n\ntry running some sprints too.......about 40-50 yards.....at least 10 in a row with only 15-30 seconds rest in between.....\n\na healthy diet would increase results as well...\n\ngood luck hope you make the team!!!!

You need this: Consistency.\n\nAll you have to do each day is to jog/run 5 minutes. Gradually increase the amount. For example today you will run for 5 minutes. The next week you will run for 10 minutes and so on and so forth. Remember try not to stop because you will lose your momentum (or the strength) to continue running after resting. However you get really tired and you legs or hands aching, stop! Don't torture yourself. That means you haven't reached the right amount of stamina to do the work.

I was such a procrastinator but now that I have a buddy I actually am motivated to work out. We get together 3-5 times a week.It is the best thing i ever did! Good luck to you!!

Morning: Wake up, eat spinach. Do 70 push-ups. If you can't, try as many as you can, and the next morning or night, you can try again.\nBreakfast: pancakes with frozen fruits on top.\nNoon: go to the local gym, and lift heavy weights about 80 times each hand. If you can't, then come again another day and make it a new goal.\nLunch: Drink some Gatorade and eat something healthy and starchy with carbohydrates (maybe rice with chicken or something).\nAfternoon: Go jogging or running with your dog. When you pull on the leash of the dog, you're building muscles.\nDinner: eat something with lots of protein... (maybe steak and a baked potato, eat the skin, the skin has vitamins)\nNight: Before you sleep, try either sitting-up or pushups, sit ups can strengthen your lungs and stomach, so you can sing better and run with more breath.\nI hope I helped!\nOh, almost forgot. Don't drink a lot of sodas, and don't eat too much junk food. Those make you fat.

Well the best time is first thing in the morning without eating.after your workout eat eggs , tomatoes, porridge and anything with protein( not fat stuff)\nIf you have eaten before you exercise then 2 -3 hours.\nI read this and applied it  and it works fabulously. I feel great all the time I dont get tired and research shows that if you exercise in the morning you will keep with it. Evening exercisers often stop.\n\nGo and take a look at http://fit-n-fat.blogspot.com  these guys are fun and there recommendatons work.\nTake care
