The best way to cut weight for a fight is cardio for 2 hours a day including your normal routine in 3 weeks you will probably lose 8lbs. \n  \n  On the night before the weigh in go for a 5mile walk just before bed and hit the sauna 3 hours before the weigh in don't eat or drink in between or before the weigh in and do your cardio in the sauna.\n   \n   This will help you cut the remaining weight as soon as you make the weight drink nothing but Gatorade and eat red meat and chocolate this will give you back the energy and bring your weight back up works every time.\n\n   You have plenty of time good luck for the fight.

Cut off your head!\n\nThe only good and safe way to lose weight is a reasonable diet and regular aerobic exercise.  Your goal should be to lose about 1 kg (2 pounds) a week and KEEP it off for the rest of your life.  Extreme weight loss in a short time will only set you up to gain it all back and more.  That's why they call it yo-yo dieting.

Cut calories and exercise. In order to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume. However, if you cut too drastically you won't lose because your body will be starving. Also, you shouldn't try to lose more than 1 or 2 pounds a week, because it is unhealthy for the body. Slow and steady is best.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose some weight.   You need to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound, so don't try to do it too fast.  This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.\n\n2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.\n\n3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.\n\n5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.\n\n6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.\n\n7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4. even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

Unless your physician has given you specific instructions otherwise, don'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 would make you feel awful. \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\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

Well there are several ways to go about loosing weight...First you could find a brand of diet soda you enjoy...it took me awhile to find one that I liked but diet Dr. Pepper and diet Root Beer do the trick for me...\nTo loose a pound a week you need to cut out 3500 calories from what you are eating now...that could mean cutting back on portion sizes and eating lower calorie foods...Also I would highly suggest working exercises into a weight loss plan by even just walking a few days a week for 30 min you can improve your chances of loosing weight and this way you would not have to focus just on cutting calories...either way to loose a pound you have to make a 3500 calorie deficit by some combination of diet and exercise. Good Luck!

It depends on how overweight you are to begin with, but I'd say probably 12-14 lbs in 2 weeks.  Before you do this killer workout, make sure you do plenty of warmups and otherwise take it easy.\n\nGood luck!

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.)

Way to go you are in a class by yourself with your height and age.\nBut your weight is nothing to be impressed about. I am 5'7 1/2 and 150 lbs. \nAt this age your body is really in your hands to make it a strong, fast and big as possible. My suggestion to would be get on a good weight routine of at least 3 days of heavy weights (80% of you mass with 4-6 reps) Then add 2 days of light weights (65% of your mass) with 8-10 reps) This is will improve muscle function and strength. Before and after your workouts do at least 15 minutes of hard cardiovascular. Try stair climber or run up school bleachers non-stop for 15 minute cycles, do 2 sets. This is increase your lung capacity and speed, plus give you the strength in your legs you will need to be a high flyer in the ring. \nTrust me now is the time, don't waite around. If you really want to be a WWE champ then its time to get serious about it. \nI am here for you. Good luck and God Bless.

You definitely don't want to do it fast.  1 to 2 pounds per week is recommended by a doctor.  If you lose more than that, you are prone to problems, and also, what many people don't know is that, if you lose weight too quickly, it actually ages you.  I know a guy who dropped like 30 pounds in a month, and he looks terrible.  He aged like 20 years.  Do it the right way.  You'll feel better too.

4.4lbs isn't bad.  Its healthy to lose weight slowly becuase you stand less of a chance of gaining it back.  It also depends what you weigh before you start.  If you weigh alot then 4.4lbs isn't much to have lost, but if you weren't too heavy to begin with then you're on the right track.  Try adding more variety to your workout.  If you can, try jogging or running.  Jumping rope is easy and only costs you the price of a jump rope.  I got a good athletic jump rope for $8 and you can adjust the length of it.  Do crunches and leg lifts, squats and lunges.  There are also lots of workout dvds you could try too.  I like cardio dance and aerobics.  You can do them right at home.  Also try lifting weights.  For ever 1 lbs of muscle you gain, you will burn more calories an hour.  And drink green tea.  It boosts your metabolism.  This should help you out a bit.  Good luck!

If weight loss is what you're looking for then here's what you need. The best combination for weight loss is calorie restriction, resistance training, and aerobic work. Let's start with calorie restriction. Over the years I have had personal training clients as well as athletes come to me wondering why they are not losing weight. They tell me they eat right, exercise right, say their prayers, eat their vitamins, etc., and they just can't seem to lose weight. Well, most of the time, once I really get to know them, I find that nutrition is the culprit. You need to know what you're eating. Most of the people I'm talking about all thought they did. \n\nHow do you change this? Well, it may sound tough, but it's not that bad. You need to keep track of what you eat for 2 days over the week, and 1 day over the weekend. Next, go to you're local book store. You can find charts, books, and computer programs that will help you analyze the foods you ate. Another suggestion would be to take your dietary recall to a nutritionist or exercise physiologist at your local college and let them find it for you. \n\nThese recalls will tell you how many calories you're getting plus where they are coming from. For example, are they coming from protein, carbohydrate, or fat. It will help you see where you stand nutritionally. \n\nNext, you need to get on a good strength program. When a person is losing weight, the weight comes from fat, as well as muscle. That's kind of an unfortunate thing because muscle is an important thing when keeping metabolism high. There is enough research out there to safely say that when going through a phase of high intensity aerobic work and calorie restriction, strength training decreases muscle wasting. So, in short, strength-train. It's important. I wouldn't strength-train for anymore that 20 to 30 minutes. You can get what you need in a short period of time. \n\nAfter the strength training, it's time to get on the bike, treadmill, stepper, track, whatever. Keep your workouts to 30 minutes and up in order to burn the calories. Train between 3 to 5 times per week. Keep your heart rate at 60 to 90% of heart rate max. \n\nDon't look at losing weight as some mysterious monster that you can't get the reins on. Look at it as nothing more than stored energy. That's what fat is?stored energy. If you had a tank full of energy and it kept filling up higher and higher, what would you do to keep your tank from growing too large from the excess energy? Well, burn some of the energy off. That's what you need to do to lose weight. Keep the "energy in" lower than the "energy out" and abracadabra, you're losing weight. \n\nNote: You need to change your routine every 2-3 weeks in order to get the best results. \n\nMonday \n\n\nLeg Press 2x12 \nChest Press 2x12 \nLat pull down 2x12 \nShoulder Press 2x12 \nDB Curl 2x12 \nTricep kickback 2x12 \nAerobic Work  30 or more minutes. \n\n Click Here For A Printable Log Of Monday! \n\nTuesday \n\n\nAerobic work 30 or more minutes of aerobic exercise.\nWednesday \n\n\nSame as Monday.\nThursday \n\n\nSame as Monday, or take a day of rest.\nFriday \n\n\nSame as Monday.\n\nThat is a great program but here is a DIET that you can use to go along with it.\n\nThe diet works as follows: eat two bowls of Special K cereal and a regular dinner meal and you will lose up to 2-3 pounds per week . This is a simple, decreased calorie diet. By following a regimen of decreased calorie consumption, any food specific diet will work. Special K is one of the healthier cereals out there and an excellent choice as a breakfast meal, but focusing on it in such a narrow manner is not sustainable in the long-term.

Losing water weight is actually not that difficult. But i'm not quite sure if losing water weight will make a substantial difference when it comes to losing inches. I was a wrestler in high school, and when i had to lose weight for the scales a day before a match, i used to put on about 5 sweatshirts on myself, and 2 shorts, a pair of jeans, 2 pairs of socks, and thick shoes on top of all this. Wearing these clothes i used to go out and run for atleast an hour to two hours, which reduced my weight for about 5lbs. Which was enough for me to help me with the scales at the match. But i've never known to losing inches when i lost water weight. Also, water weight comes back in a week after you lose it.

Losing 10 kilos in 14 days is just too big a goal to set your sights on.\nYou (or your friend should I say) will only be disappointed after this period to see you have set your expectations too high.\n\nBe more realistic about the goal that needs to be achieved.\nMost fitness leaders will tell you that losing 1kg a week is a healthy rate of fat loss.\nIf it's a lot more than that it will just be you dehydrating your body (losing water weight) which is not healthy and not your true weight.\n\nRe-assess your goal and make it realistic.

Eat fewer calories, and more small meals. Eat less carbs (like bread, pasta, cereal), drink more water, eat more protein and fruits and veggies. Also, try doing a workout in the morning before you eat breakfast. I have found that doing circuit training produces faster weight loss. Try to do 3-4 cardio sessions a week, lasting 45 minutes or longer. Don’t focus on losing 15lbs, just focus on looking and feeling better. Focus on the potential results. Be healthy about your goals, you won’t be successful with starvation or diet pills, eat real food and workout!!! Good luck!
