there are some sweat pants and a jacket that are made of a plastic material. just go to wal mart and they should have it. wear it during a hard work out and you should loose 9 pounds easily.

I do understand what you are going through.  You may not ever get back to that 135 pounds, but you can get closer to it.  The drugs make it harder, and menopause may have some effect.  But there are things you can do.\n\nIf you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose some weight. You may know that 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 at least 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.  Be very conscious of your nutrition.\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.   I'd go the gym route at least to start, if you have never done weight training before.  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 burning more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. \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\n8.  Did your oncology team ever refer you to a dietician?   That may help you.   Also talk to them about your weight concerns and get their opinions.  \n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but 1 pound = 2.4 kilos.  You want to lose 2 pounds in a week.\n\nThat is safe and very healthy, considering you didn't tell your age, current weight, gender, location or anything else that would help us give you a good answer.\n\nRun outside, at a slow pace, for 30 minutes every day.  Do not walk.  If you feel like you are losing your breath, or getting winded (can't speak normally), slow down.  DON'T walk!

10lbs is 2 weeks is not health at all.  Try losing that in a month instead of 2wks

VERY BAD idea!!! No less than 1500 a day. With proper exercise you will lose weight quickly, but on 900 you will be too rundown to exercise. You will get sick!\n\nI lost 100 lbs in a year by doing 2 hours a day at the gym and 2000 calories a day. I did a modified Zone diet about 40% protein, 30% cars, and 30% fat.\n\nOn any diet I recommend staying away from sugar, cereal, bread, potatoes, pasta, and rice. I ate a lot of Atkins health bars, protein drinks, turkey chili, salads, chicken, turkey bacon and eggs, low fat wraps, 2% Greek yogurt. Also, 2% milk with an Atkins brownie is a nice snack.\n\nExercise = 1 hour of weights and 1 hour of cardio. Could only run .25 miles last May and ran 9 miles in 90 minutes last Sunday.\n\nWaist was 46" and now 33" --- YOU DON"T HAVE TO STARVE YOURSELF!!!

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 i think if your doing all of that you are bound to lose weight. but heres what i am more worried about the fact that you are already pretty slim, i think you should work one being healthier, but be happy with who you are now, because will you really be happy at 104? or will you still be searching for 94?

10 pounds in two weeks is not safe.  You should only lose about 1-2 pounds a week.  Do it by exercising and dieting.  Don't eat less than 1200 calories per day and make sure your diet includes the right kinds of nutrients by eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables (preferably more vegetables than fruits).  Do cardiovascular exercise 30-60 minutes per day.  Make sure your heart rate gets up.  You cannot lose weight only on one part of your body.  You will have to work your whole body.  As you start to lose fat, build muscle with strength training.  I recommend pilates if you really want to focus on your stomach.  Diet and exercise are the only healthy way to lose weight, and it takes time.  Please be safe!

i'm in the same boat.  i need to lose 20 pounds by Jan 6th.  first of all you wont be able to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks.  the most you can lose is 5-10.  this is what my doctor is having me do - \nskip out any fast food, especially soda and fruit juice - switch to water and 1% milk.  eat lots of vegetables, fruits and nuts and lean meats like chicken, pork and shrimp and fish.  dont quit eating- you want to increase your metabolism by creating a good exercise routine and eating healthy foods for your body to burn.  doing so will make you leaner.  remember muscle is heavier than fat so your weight may or may not change, but you will look a lot more trim and your body will look more defined and sleeker...\n\ni got ankle weights and pilate stretchy thing at target for cheap.  i've been using it for about 2 week now.  i'm starting to lose my big butt and thighs.  This is my routine - \n\nWalk 15-30 min a day with ankle weights\nArm curls - twice a day (morning/evening) 10-15 each\nleg lifts - twice a day 8-10 each\n15 -20 sits ups - twice a day\ncardio work out - biking, treadmill, jogging,  etc - 2-3 times a week.

With your reasons for losing weight I am sure you will find the way that works best for you. \n\nBut I should warn you, 90 pounds in 4 months is not healthy. A safer and healthier goal would be 2 pounds per week. More than likely you will exceed this in the early stages, but as you approach you ideal weight the pounds will come of slower.\n\nI found that for me the best way was a meal replacement program. I replaced two meals a day with the best Nutritional Shakes I could find. This cut my intake of calories and fats but maintained all the healthy nutrition I needed. The result. I lost 30 pounds in 2 months, my energy increased and I feel better than ever.\n\nThe real key I found was Nutrition, getting enough of the vitamins and such that the body needs while cutting out the fats, sugars and excess calories.\n\nA meal replacement plan that is focused on Nutrition is the perfect way to achieve this.\n\nIf you would like to know the exact plan I used contact me thru the link on my profile

Don't expect to lose much in two weeks.  With luck, you can drop 5-10 pounds, but it would require extreme measures.  First, I would limit my daily caloric intake to about 1200-1400.  Yes, you'll have to count calories and watch your portion sizes!  Spread this out over 5-6 small meals.  Drink 8-10 full glasses of water a day.\n\nThen, you'll have to move... a lot... You'll probably have to jog, get on an elliptical machine, or do a brisk walk for at least 30 minutes a day, getting your heart rate up. Do this every day.\n\nPlease note, this is NOT a healthy long-term diet plan, but if you just need to lose weight quickly for some kind of special event, it won't harm you to do it once.  \n\nAfter that, increase your caloric intake to a recommended level for your age, sex, and weight, and try to keep up the exercise.  Some of what you lose will be water weight, but it might be enough to let you fit into a special outfit or something, if that's your goal.

Put an exercise bike in the shower, wear three to four layers of clothing with a rain suit to cover it all, and ride for about three hours a day. Eat nothing but ice cubes (helps to make the body think you are eating), and take lots of laxatives. I lost 45 lbs. in less than two weeks. It isn't safe, but it's the fastest way I know of to do it. After that just keep up a simple routine and the weight will stay off.

Ok, if you are not active you need to drop to 1000 calories. I have been told that to lose weight you eat 1200 calories but that is if you exercise for 1 hour a day as well. The theory is energy in has to be less than energy out. If you are unable to exercise I would suggest to drop a little and when you start to see results maintain at that calorie level. \n\nAlso, just be patient cause you have good weeks and bad, just be consistent and persistent. \n\nI wish you all the best of luck!
