You weigh 144 pounds. You burn 1440 calories each day just carrying your weight around. If you ate 800 calories per day or less (don't starve yourself) and drank plenty of water, you could loose the 24 pounds in 16 weeks. That excludes exercise. But, if you also work out for 15-30 minutes each day you should be able to achieve your goal. Remember though, just because you are working out doesn't mean that you will loose, you have to stay on your eating regiments. I know all this from personal experience. I weighed over 330 and now am down to 250 in less than a year from just changing my eating habits.

Try Bill Phillip's book Body for Life. It works for anyone, but it is hard work. I'm going through the program right now and I can see a difference. The book uses workout intensity levels according to you, so it really will work for anyone. He also talks about what to eat and what to avoid. AND there is even space built into the program to have your favorite foods! Its working for me so far. Good luck!

Since I don't know your exact schedule this makes it hard, but what you can do is to incorporate short workouts throughout your day.  Things like park farther away from the hospital and walk from your car, don't take the shuttle (assuming your hospital has one).  Also, do not take the elevator at work, take the stairs.  Other things like trying not to sit down as often or if you really want a challenge, go and buy those small 2 - 3 lbs weights and strap them to your ankles or your biceps and walk around with those every other day.  Also, when i doubt, just buy a cheap ($5) pedometer and shoot for 10000 steps a day, but don't try to hit it all at once.  Work your way up.  Finally, if you are at a good hospital talk to one of the dietitians on your floor or unit and they will probably give you most of the same advice, but maybe will be able to give you something a little more specific to the hospital or your life.  Good luck.

First of all great job and god bless you for taking charge of your life to a better you!!! Now my doctor told me that it is recommended by the American Heart Association that we need at lease 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. So here is what i do i either jog or use  the elliptical machine for 45-60 minutes 3 days a week. Then, 2 days out of the week i get on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then i do strength training for 30 minutes. You see that is just part of my life style. One other part is asking for gods help to get me through this because without him i wouldn't be able to do this. So what ever ever higher power you believe in ask for its help and you will get it. Also as part of my healthier eating style i follow the South Beach book its great! You can order it on-line or buy it at a book store for less than 20$. Well I hope this helped you if you want more support or advice don't be afraid to email my email is jgomez3582@yahoo.com. Take care Lisa! Oh by the way my name is James

One, it is going to take some dedication and with your limited resources, I see some challenges.\n\nFirst off, since you can't get to the gym, I recommend getting a cheap set of dumbbells. You can probably find some at WalMart for $40.  You can do a lot of workouts with just dumbbells.  See http://www.bodybuilding.com.\n\nNextly, you cannot replace fat with muscle -- per say.  You can build muscle and lose fat, but you cannot magically turn one into the other.  This means your are going to have to work out and watch your food intake.  Use a site such as http://www.fitday.com to monitor your calorie intake and calorie expenditures.\n\nI'd also like to see you do some cardio.  You don't need a gym for that.  Take in the scene by jumping on a bike or hitting the trails for a run.  Anything that promotes a good sweat is going to burn off the lard and tone your legs.  I am not sure what your situation is like, but definitely start moving.\n\nI also recommend educating yourself about fitness.  For women, Muscle and Fitness Hers, Shape, Women's Health, and Fitness are good sources of information.  Pick up an issue and see what trips your trigger.\n\nWhatever you do, make sure you enjoy it.  If it's dreary you won't be likely to make it a routine.  \n\nGood luck.

If you're really out of shape, start with brisk walks.  As you build up endurance you can move on to more fun exercise.  Try joining a school or recreational football team.  You'll get exercise and your size will be valued there for defense.  Swimming is also great because the water makes your body not as heavy while exercising.  Also try weight lifting.  As your muscles get stronger, they'll burn more fat.  As far as food goes, try to eat fruit for desert instead of a real desert.  I'm sure it'll suck at first, but you'll get used to it.  Also, try to convince your family to be more healthy so junk foods aren't in the house tempting you.  If you're trying to be healthy, but your mom's cooking lasagna, you're screwed!  A lot of Mexican foods can be tasty but low in fat.  Just use low fat cheese and skip the sour cream.  You could try something like ediets.com if you're able to cook your own meals.  They'll put together a plan specific for your situation.  Also, if the rest of the fam is pigging out, try having a stock of Lean Cuisine meals.  They've really stepped it up.  They're quite tasty.  If all else fails, see a doctor, there may be a fixable, medical reason why you are overweight.  Good luck!

I am going to start one up soon but I am in cronulla in Sydney Australia. Listen here is a plan in the meantime, keep looking and I sincerely wish you all the success. Also, what is a price that you would consider ideal? \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories women & 1500 men \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \nAll food choices need to be low fat\nDon't make food a big deal and don't socialise using food\n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna/lean meat & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g-150g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 women & 1800 men and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 -1500 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

pick things you can enjoy..for example dont start a plan that includes running 3 days a week if you dispise running ...likewise dont sign up for a busy gym if you are too shy or embarrassed to attend (i learned that the hard way, paid the fees for a good year, probably went once a month bc I am too shy for that when there are so many other younger girls and itsy bitsy teens)....and make sure you allow flexibility. I stick to all veggies/ fruit and have suppliments because I dont like (healthy) meat...but if I want a hamberger from Burger King even, I let myself do it. If you allow your self to spluge occasionally it will be easier to stick to...I am sure their is something psychological behind that. Also if it is just the exercise that  you arent motivated to stick to try this:\n\n1. Switch locations. I like to jog. Sometimes I go to the lake, sometimes on backroads, sometimes on bike paths...\n\n2. Make it more fun by including someone in it. I take my two year old on bike rides, now she can't really hold me accountable but someone your own age could, Agree to workout (run, walk, whatever) every week or every afternoon...whatever fits.\n\n3. Reward yourself. Lost a few pounds? Buy a new outfit to show it off. Stuck to your workout plans for an entire month straight? Do something just for you! \n\n4. Dont give up, if all else fails at least remind yourself you will be a healthier person on the end and that in itself is a huge reward considering the cost of healthcare and the length of people's live- who wants to be 70 and bed ridden? You could still have a whole 20-30 more years left. MAke the most of life! :) good luck

This is the plan I try to give everyone out there and it does work!\n\nIf you want to do this for life you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1.5 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life! \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g lean meat & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white omlette with ham and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week.
