if you work out and build muscle you will burn fat. building muscle helps with your metabolism which will help with burning fat :) and this theory has been proven time and time again. good luck\n\nThe human body is a funny thing. It's VERY ADAPTABLE for survival. So when you give it less food, the result is a slow metabolism for survival purpose. That's why it is important to take a break (but stay in control of your food intake) from your diet and focus on eating healthy, balance meals with exercise. This will prevent your metabolism from getting too slow.\n\nHundreds and thousands of years ago, when eating was a matter of survival, the body would protect itself by slowing down the rate it burned calories (lower metabolism) to maintain weight. In modern society, we have the opposite problem of too much food, temptation and consequent weight gain.\n\nOur body is designed for survival and less food is a threat to it's survival. You must control a slow increase or decrease of food to successfully lose weight and keep it off. If you stop eating or skip meals, your metabolism will come to a SCREECHING HALT. \n\nIf you maintain a control and balance diet, you will lose weight but your body's metabolism will finally adapt and slow down. That's why we need to take a break from dieting. If you give up and SUDDENLY start eating \nback to your pre diet intake, you may quickly gain weight because of a low metabolism.\n\nthis is why i recommend smaller more frequent meals.\nIncrease Your Metabolism Through Movement/ exercise/ walking at least 30 minutes helps boost it also.\nto answer you question truthfully, noone can give you an accurate # because all bodies are different. \nBUT if you eat more frequently so your body doesnt go ito survival mode and excercise then you are on the right track and if you can excercise in the morning that increases your metabolism for a while. the more you raise you heartrate the more of a boost your metabolism gets

Everything works as long as you stick to it.  Diets are just a temporary fix.... if you really want to keep the weight off you have to change the way you eat and exercise for good!!!!  I heard Lindora has a really good food plan (never tried it myself)... and for exercise....Curves is a great gym, and its WOMEN ONLY!!! so it's alot more comfortable to go to (I'm a member and I've lost 15lbs).... or if you want to work out at home you can try Turbo Jam. I just started it last week and I feel great...its alot of fun!  Well I hope I've helped some.... good luck!

Screw diets! Americans (i am one so i'm not raciest) are so fucking lazy that it pisses me off. I think dieting pills are rip-offs. just try some good old fashion exercise (unless your a fat & lazy) Get at least 60 min a day and you will look great (as long as you don't take in more calories than you burn).

You can run your butt off. Try a fat burner. Or you can eat a butt load of protein and start lifting, it will take a long time but muscle will start filling out the skin, but the skin will also shrink.Congrats on losing the weight too!!!

It sounds like you're already doing the right things.  Try varying the type of exercise you do, as you can hit exercise plateaus as well as weight loss plateaus. Make sure your exercise plan includes cardio, strength-training & flexibilty.  Strength training is SO IMPORTANT to losing weight; more muscle=more metabolism.\nYou might want to try something like slim-fast. Replace a couple of meals a day with a shake (it tastes better than it used to!).  I have 2 slim fast meals per day (Monday-Friday) with a scoop of protein powder in each and I work out 4 hours a week. I lost 12# in 3 weeks.  Check my weight-loss blog for more info. (Not selling anything! It's free info.)

dude people. you don't need to be on a diet to be skinny! don't you know that food is energy? So if you eat like a big meal then you go and work it out in the gym or something. Calories basically is the amount of energy (i now the definition is like 1 degree Celsius but ya..). So stop dieting and EAT WHAT YOU WANT (JUST MAKE SURE YOU EAT RIGHT AMOUNT TO USE IT OFF~suggestion: swimming)

i wish that people would stop and think about everything that they are losing out on just because they think they are fat. i have been fat my whole life. i used to dread meeting new people because i was afraid of what they were thinking of me, now i could care less. there are way way bigger people in this world out there then 150 pounds. if you came up to me in person and said that you think you are fat i would laugh in your face. ill tell you what, you want me to send you a picture of some of my family members? i have an aunt that is close to 400 pound. and a cousin that is 330. and i aint no skinny minny myself. what you have to do is except yourself for what and who you are. if you dont like it then you should cut back on calories or lose it the right way because the ways that you are trying will work and then you will gain all of the weight back. and my mother used to be bulimic--she had dentures by age 24.

The only "diet" (I hate that word) plan that has worked for me is lots of walking. I try to walk most places and eat mostly fresh foods. Lots of fruits and vegies. Try not to eat fast-food. Even the fast-food salads contain lots of fat and calories. If you get hungry, drink some water and eat something healthy.(fruits and vegies) When I eat out, I try to pick something that is halfway healthy and will taste good. The worst thing about being on a diet is having to act like you're on a diet. That is definately not motivating. Oh, and drinking lots of water helps keep you hydrated and it also flushes all sorts of things out of your body. Most people are not sucussful with any diet unless they're getting lots of water. At least 8 eight fl. oz a day. That's about 2 liters. Good luck!

Let me get this straight:\nYou want to eat, but with out buying food or preparing it or even chewing it for that matter?\nIf you want your body to be toned, you gotta work out. You see, the problem is that the working out bit is what actually TONES you.\nJust make up your mind, which you hate more: working out or a flabby body? then go with the other choice.\nIts your call really.

i wouldnt try anything unhealthy. be careful. but, i really think you have no need to gain weight, unless you look really skinny, like a skeleton with bones. i have a friend like that, and she looks horrible. i have never tried to gain weight before, but maybe you could try some kind of health bar. if you work out, you will grow muscle. you wont look skinny anymore, but you will be nice and toned! :)

well i think if your doing all of that you are bound to lose weight. but heres what i am more worried about the fact that you are already pretty slim, i think you should work one being healthier, but be happy with who you are now, because will you really be happy at 104? or will you still be searching for 94?

What is it your unhappy with exactly? Your skinny so maybe you just want to tone up and become more defined? I don't know about you but exercising makes me feel better, maybe I'm just burning off all that excess negative energy but it might help you to feel like your working toward a better you. Improve your diet if it's lousy (like mine) your body and mind will thank you for eating more fruits and veggies no matter how corny that comes out sounding.

Dieting is unhealthy.  You have to find something you can live with the rest of your life.  Eating healthy is the key.  Thinking that you can eat better until you lose weight and when you do you can eat "normal", sets you up for failure.  You will gain the weight back +.  You have to decide that life is more important than a box of twinkies and stick to healthy eating habits for life.

Read the South Beach Diet book.  The ideas about dieting are very sound.  \n\nFirst, I do not believe that you should go on a special diet.  Instead, make permanent changes in what you eat, how much and when.   Then, begin a planned approach toward exercise.
