if you become balemic, will the weight loss be everywhere, or only in certain places?

The first thing to go will be your muscles.  Protein is easier for your body to breakdown than fat.  That means that before you look ANY skinnier you will look fatter because your body will not have the tone to hold the natural fat which the body has up, it will slump looking like you need a trip to the gym.  Subsequently your body will remove the fat from your soft tissues, this means the breasts, organs (i.e. liver) and finally your body will remove the 'unsightly fat'.  Your body will try to maintain this fat because it will be convinced that it is starving, and will therefore try to keep its energy supply ('unsightly' fat) at maximum levels.  Logically it would be better to go on a diet with actual healthy food involved.  I suggest the south beach diet, and regular exercise.\n\nIanK BS in Biosciences.

well you can't lose fat for a specific region--\nfat must be lost all over. \n\nwaist and tummy fat are usually the last to go--making it frustrating for people trying to lose weight\n\nyou would lose fat on your arms, face, etc before you see a notice in fat decrease on your tummy or love handle area\n\nmy advice would just be do plenty of cardio and eat healthy for max benefit...\ngood luck!

Yes. You can grow taller, and not gain weight as you do, which will make you look thinner as your original weight redistributes in your body.\n\nYou can also get sick in some way and start losing weight without knowing you are sick. (Diabetes or something.)

No.\nAt least you know you can loose weight.\nIt's a good reminder. \nMind over matter.

lose it everywhere else first, becuase your face is the first or last to go depending on your body

It's possible but it's VERY dangerous. Not to mention, diets that cause you to lose a large amount of weight in a short amount of time are damaging to your health, and you will most likely put the weight back on shortly after you lose it. My advice would be to eat healthy and exercise every day for the rest of your life, you will be healthy, and keep the weight off.

First, you can't target weight loss in one area. Second, you really shouldn't be losing weight. You can do some light weights and that  should help you keep your legs toned as you lose muscle in your legs from Karate.

No, its a bad idea. Not only will you keep your real weight (as opposed to water weight)  your skin is likely to break out into a nasty rash which will make it tougher to EXERCISE, the real way to lose weight along with a sensible diet.

Doing any sort of excersize will help you lose weight everywhere in your body, though cycling will target and strengthen your leg muscles.  Ride alot, though, and you'll certianly loose weight everywhere.  If you'r loosing to lose weight fram you butt, then cycling wont do it as efficienty as say, a stair climber, but you'll lose it.

Not really. By all means, don't go on a binge diet or some newfangled weight loss regimine! Walking every day will help you. I envy you, btw!

It depends, if you have alot of weight to lose, you do tend to lose faster  in the beginning. It does taper off though.

i guess it depends on your metabolism

I think you will show results pretty quickly.  There are some pretty amazing things that will start going on in your body.  Your body will actually start building more capillaries that will get blood to your muscles more quickly.  As this starts happening, you will start to see results.  Your metabolism will increase and you will be a calorie burning machine!

If you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight.
