Looking to lose 116 pounds!?

What do you know I just answered a similar question so I'll just cut and paste:\n\nFrom one who is currently losing weight to another and have some friends in the exercise/dietcian/medical areas, let me give you some advice:\n\n- each person is different when it comes to losing weight, because of the variety of factors involved: lifestyle, exercise, metabolism are some main ones.\n- never starve yourself purposely - the aim is to eat well, not little.  Starve and you will only store fat but lose muscle, which plays a major role in fat burning.\n- count your calories - losing weight involves using energy (calories or kilojoules) when you're eating. Fat Free foods can be deceitful as they may be high in calorie but low in fat.\n- become a gym junkie (like me!) I focus on cardio training which burns calories (If you know about the gym classes, I recommend BODYPUMP as that is renowned for burning a substantial amount of fat) and also strength exercises like yoga and BODYBALANCE to tone and strengthen muscles.\n- Be patient - there is never a fast way, but many successful ways and its up to you to find out which suits you best.\n\nI've been eating healthy, cutting down on late night snacks and venture to the gym average 3 times a week and have lost five kilos in the space of 4 months. Good enough for someone my height and weight. \n\nGood luck!!

Take this from a woman that went from 300 pounds to 167 in under a year from pregnancy and classic overeating...it's hard work!\n\nPut on a tiny bikini once a week. and measure yourself. As you go down in weight and inches it will start to look better and better. The better you feel the less stress you have the easier it is to eat right and work out.\n\nAbout running... don't like it don't do it. It's not worth it if you aren't going to do it for a Legnth of time. Simply get a good friend and go for a fast walk for about 1.5 hours... yea I'm serious but the time will fly by and the pounds will melt off. It's not about the distance it's about keeping your cardio up and doing it for a good length of time. Maybe you can start running a little here and there to tone up your legs but it isn't your only option.\n\nKeep a journal of what you eat and when,  when you notice you aren't losing it as fast as you were look back on your journal and see why. Maybe you aren't being as strict as you should be. Think about your journal as though everything you eat will be seen by it and will broadcast around the world for everyone to see. It will help you not eat everything you can. Be sure to write it down though that is key! You will hit plateaus, it happens then you have to either cut back or work out more.\n\nAdd muscle training. It can be as easy as a butt workout on the treadmill or a bunch of push ups and sit ups. Be it in the weight room or on the couch work your muscles. This will burn some calories and help you tone up.\n\nEat what your body needs first! Lots of protien and steamed veggies. Stick to fresh fruit and wheat rice. Make it look pretty and you won't have to dread it quite so much. Treat yourself every once in a while to a little low cal ice cream or a mousse which is also a low cal dessert. \n\ni hope this helps a little bit. Good luck!

Along with the other smart eating tips above, start walking 1/2hr day & drink a ton of water -- you should trim down real fast!  \n\nAlso, dont go by the scale! Use a cloth tape measure and record your losses in a journal, you will be amazed how you shape shift even if the scale isnt moving! Think about it, 1 pound is 4 cubes of butter so 5 = 20 (or 1/2 bag of potatoes! Wow huh? \n\nGood luck!

I am 5'4" and weight about 112-  I would also like to lose just a couple of pounds- and by the way- if you check on any BMI calculator- 108 is STILL in the normal range... I think this is still a healthy goal as well.  I was stuck between 115 and 120 for a while but found that just increasing my exercise, drinking more water, and taking in more fiber has helped with these last few pounds.  Good luck.

I am on this diet and have lost 70 lbs in 7 months.  It's the easiest I have ever been on and I have tried them all.  There are a few food in each type that your body just does not fancy to.  I am B so I can't help you but go to yahoo search and type in dieting according to your blood type and it will give you a lot of sites to go check out.  My husband just started this 2 months ago and had lost 26 lbs. He however is O.  I would highly recommend it.  i was on a lot of meds heart, high blood pressure plus more and off of all but 1.  I go to Healthy Habits in Meridian Idaho.  I have not gained anything back and you don't have to buy special foods!  Check it out from someone that's been on every diet out there!  Only to gain back plus more.  This has worked well for me.  Check it out it can't hurt.  The big thing is you have to be willing and ready to work at it.  I did not do special exercising but am going to start now that I'm almost at my goal from a size 18-20 to a size 7/8

I am in the same boat. I have already lost 5 pounds in a little less than a week and I am stepping it up a notch. What I am doing is watching and counting calories and carbs. Less than 180g of carbs and less than 1500 calories. Drink PLENTY of water. I am consuming 64 oz. of water now. I exercise 3 times a week with Richard Simmons exercise tape. The water helps fill you up. If you would like we can keep in touch and work on it together. It helps to have someone to talk to about the ups and downs of dieting and someone to share with WHEN you reach your goal. My email address is eeyore28602@yahoo.com if you wanna keep in touch about it. Hope this helps !!! Casey

You don't say how tall you are, but at 119 lbs (54 kgs), it doesn't sound like you need to lose weight. Don't be so hard on yourself.\n\nYou want to lose roughly 11 lbs (5 kgs) in two weeks? Don't eat very many carbs, drink a full glass of water before each meal, and run two miles a day. Don't eat any junk food. Tone your tummy with sit-ups and side bends.

Well, I weigh 147 right now. I have lost 10 pounds so I am proud of myself.  I would really like to get back down to 120  ( that's about how much I weighed 3 years ago).  :)

I am on a program which is very similar called HMR and it has worked. I have lost 75 pounds in 6 months. My husband has lost 95lbs.  Good luck...it feels so good to be healthier! (I still have more to go!)

Drink lots of water - 6 to 8 glasses a day - and cut out sodas and all sugary drinks.  I did that and lost 6.5 pounds the first week, and I didn't even change my eating habits.  \n\n97 pounds is tiny!  How tall are you?  You may just need to tone up - build up some muscle and that will help you burn calories faster.  Good luck!!

well i lost weight by eating lots of cereals and special bread.also loads of salad and white meat.like chicken.and aslo fish.kippers are very good for you.the oil is very good for your heart and cholesterol.and they are not very fatty,the same goes for tuna.use skimmed milks and sweeteners for your hot drinks.and make sure you exercise.walk at least 2 miles very day or for at least 30 minutes.do not eat anything before midday.only drink pure lemon juice.it helps break up fatty compounds.eat plenty veg.as it makes you go.and that's the best way to lose weight.good luck.i went from 23 stone to 16 stone in6 months.but I'm 23 stone again and have started all over again.still i look forward to the challenge.never set your sights to high for weight loss in one week.don't expect to lose 5 lb per week it will happen at first but as you diet it gets harder to lose.so set yourself realistic goals.of say 2/3 lb per week weight loss.that way you will not be discouraged if you only lose 2lb at the end of the day that's still a standard bag of sugar ,and that's quite a lot.

I have been on a quest to lose weight and I have tried all sorts of things, but the best way is calorie counting.  Let's see if you are 200 you eat around 2640cals a day to maintain that weight.  For each lb you want to lose you have to eat 500cals less than you would daily.\n\nI'm always tring to lose weight, and i'm a chocolate addict, I bought a food journal and I've wrote in it 21days today.  I started at 197 and I'm down to 190.  Sometimes I cheat, but I still write it down.  I don't drink any kind of drinks, and I haven't since I was little.  I barely drink juice, juice the 1/2the calories oj.  But count your calories, try to snack on fruits or veggies, I must is water i drink at least 2 liter bottles a day.  This will make you not feel so hungry, I make sure I drink alot while i'm eating.  If you don't like the taste of water, use the crytral lite stuff or the fruit flavored water at walmart.  If you don't drink enough water or eat to much salt you can retain water which makes you heavier.  \n\nI bought a neoprene belt, I don't get alot of exercise so I wear it when i go grocery shopping, it makes you sweat alot around your belly, helping get rid of it.  I also made sure i had measuring cups, food scales, and I go on calorieking.com, they have a database where i search for what i'm about to eat and find out how many calories it has in it.  \n\nIn the grocery store i stopped buying the things i usually get that has the most calories.  If i don't see it in the kitchen, i don't want it.  I buy parkay spray butter, it is so yummy, it has no calories.  Wonder bread lite has only 40 calories per slice, now anytime in the store i look at the label and i think about how bad it is for me and put it back.  I have one cabinet in my kitchen that only has snack foods and nothing else.  So when i'm cooking I won't have to get anything out, I used to keep snacks on the top of the frige, that wasn't a good thing at all.  They have 100 calorie packs now, those are really yummy, but i love the "gripz" the keebler choc chip cookie kind are great, and only 120cals, they're really tiny cookies, so i eat a couple at a time and they last much longer than the 100cal packs.  \n\nA great jumpstart to a diet is the juice diet, there's celebrity juice diet and hollywood.  Hollywood you get at walmart.  Celebrity at gnc.  It's a two day diet and when i used it a few months ago i lost 6lbs.  The bottle say up to 10lbs in 2 days.  I literally shrinks your stomach, so after the two days, so can't hold as much food.  The celebrity in the orange bottle tastes best, it's like really sweet pineapple orange juice.  If you decide to do the juice diet be careful, i usually cheat on the diet a little, like a piece of toast w/no cal butter or a few crackers.  See the diet is just juice and water for two days, I usually get light headed, so i eat a little on it.  I have no will power too, so you just have to keep yourself busy where you're not thinking about food.  But both kinds of juice diets have all your vitamins and stuff, so you wouldn't have to worry about that.\n\nUmm, I've got lots of other ideas, just let me know.  Like i've said i've tried all sorts of things.  I've been an off and on dieter since i was 14 and i'm almost 22 now.  So good luck on whatever you decide.

I'm 5'2" and weigh about 116 or 118 I don't look fat all I need is to work out. Your only 2" taller than me. and if your weigh is 116 then you probably look great, all you need is to do some exercise to tone up. Maybe you will loose a little weigh on the process (that doesn't hurt) but at the end you'll look better. In regards to a diet don't know of any and don't think you need one. Just do what my doctor said eat breakfast every day before 10a.m. which is the most important meal of the day and helps with the metabolism and something light in the evening and don't eat dinner past 9p.m. You'll look better in no time.
