Why do so many people have to ask, "How Can I Lose Weight"?

given that obesity is at record levels in America & that obesity-related deaths are second only to smoking-related deaths in America...it makes sense that people finally want to see their toes again.\n\nhowever, the LAST thing they want to hear is that they actually have to DO something about it. Everyone wants that magic pill so that the next morning they wake up as a waifish supermodel or something like that. Everyone KNOWS that proper diet & an active lifestyle is the ONLY way to achieve safe, effective, long-term weight loss (and a multitude of health benefits as well!), but nobody wants to put down the ho-hos and get their fat butts off the sofa.

the only thing genetic about weight loss is metabolism levels, the problem is people aren't taught how to lead a healthy lifestyle.  Society tells you the best thing you can do with your life is make lots of money and be really busy, too busy to work out, eat right, or spend time with people you love.

I, for one, have never once worried about my weight - or needing to diet, to keep it in 'shape' !\n...It is the MEN and the MEDIA who are all out to brainwash us that 'skinny is sexy' and 'beanpoles are beautiful' ! How else could they market all those fancy 'diet' foods and beverages, plus 'instant reduction' cosmetic surgical techniques like liposuction - and rake in billions in profits ?\nIt is still very much a marketing MAN's world, baby : And it is going to be a real struggle, for us women to unite and stand-up against these stupes to announce : 'We are HAPPY being healthy, and well built. It is these MEN who need be slim and bony' !

I help people in the gym that are overweight with exercise and dieting tips. Why?  They are motivated enough to join a gym & they show initiative.  My group of friends always do that and shun ignorant people because they make us look arrogant and insensitive. Most of us started working out because we were insecure and can relate to people that might not feel good about themselves. Any woman that is comfortable with herself and is fulfilled is sexy.

there is no easy way...unfortunately. If there was everyone would have a nice stomach.   You have to diet and exercise. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, diet at first will work great. for the last 10 pounds you have to lose, exercise is critical, as your stomach will stay flabby no matter how much weight you lose if you don't add exercise.

There is no way you can target weight loss to any one part of the body - it's simply impossible.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed or trying to sell you something.\n\nThe only way to lose weight is to burn up more calories than you eat.  It's that simple.  Water is good for you and it has no calories, but it doesn't reduce fat, regardless of what temperature it is.

The quickest way for her to lose about 200 lbs of useless fat might be to divorce you....\nWhy would you get on here and ask that? You had to know you were going to tick a lot of people off...

... so your question is what?  How not to lose interest?  It's just a commitment.  You have to have a goal in mind.  Something that you want to achieve.  Without a goal, saying your going to lose weight just won't work.  I know, I've been there, done that.  I don't have diabetes, but I was overweight.  I had high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.  With a family, my goal is to be around for them when they grow up.  2 months later I've lost 20lbs, my cholesterol is in check, blood pressure is normal, and I feel great.  God willing, I'll be in the right physical shape to be around for my family.

I think this is an issue that people don't respect, because so many people focus on trying to lose weight, they can't understand why people can't gain weight.\n\nPossible options:\n\nLift weights, wait till you're older and your metabolism slows down.  \n\nI went to a doctor once for something similiar and didn't get much respect for it.  His suggestions were to eat hamburgers and milkshakes.  I would avoid much dramatic changes in your eating habits, like people who want to lose weight start adjusting slowly how much you eat, and lifting weights will help even if it increases your metabolism because once you build muscles you're less likely to lose them than you would fat if you're metabolism is higher as you suggest.  Good luck, just make sure you don't overdue the weight gain to fast so you're organs can adjust as well as when you are older and your metabolism slows you haven't swung yourself into being overweight.

There's a difference between perfect and healthy.  It's great that people want to shed extra pounds and not be over-wieght.  \n\nBut as said before, the media paints the picture of what is "beautiful" and we buy into it.  Plus it's an industry: Diet pills, Workout Videos, plastic surgery, Counciling.  The more insecure we are about our looks the more money they get.

There isn't always an easy way out, bub. You gotta work hard for those you want to acheive. If there was an easy way to lose weight, do you think everyone's still gonna be fat? lol.

It's like being on Jeopardy and I need to answer the question with a question... Umm...  What is a dangerous way to lose weight?

you can try it...it won't hurt..but pills...food..everyone misses the most important aspect..exercise...if people would exercise more they would not have to worry so darn much about food...Are you really serious about doing this? We are talking about hard work. Putting down your little debbies, getting off your butt and not only going on a diet but EXERCISING!!! Even if you lose the weight it will come right back if you do not have the desire and motivation to not only look cute but to be healthy. it is going to take alot of inner strength I can assure you of that. \n\n1.) eat 4-5 small meals a day\n\n2.) drink lots of water\n\n3.)exercise every day\n\n4.) do not eat 4-6 hours before you sleep.

Weight loss is not simple or easy for most people. If you understand this, and believe that it will actually take real effort to lose weight then there are things you can do. To get started you can read this article about successful weight loss:\nhttp://heightandweightchart.blogspot.com/2005/02/six-strategies-for-successful-weight.html\n\nThere are also several articles about weight loss myths and scams. Make sure you read those so you know what does not work. \n\nIn general, any kind of quick-fix diet that involves pills or a drastic change in what you eat and does not include exercise will almost always fail. The majority of people who do this gain all the weight back. They then fall into a trap of continually looking for the "miracle pill" that will "burn the fat while you sleep". There isn't such a pill. It takes common sense and hard work, real effort, to lose weight.

I have lost and gained weight several times. Losing weight is hard work, and I think that the reason it can be so hard (other than any medical problems, such as diabetes, thyroid problems, different medications, etc.) is because almost all of the advertisements we see, hear and read lead us to believe that it is effortless. So, if we go in thinking it is effortless, and have to work our butts off.....then it IS hard. Just an opinion from my experiences.

If you want to lose weight, you have to do more than eat the right foods...you have to exercise daily.  Eating right will only stop you from gaining weight.  Losing requires a little more effort on your part.  Good luck.  Don't give in to temptation.
