The most weight you lose in a sauna is from sweating - one pint of water weighs one pound!  It is not true weight loss, though, as you will gain the water weight back as soon as you re-hydrate your body.

You are burning plenty of calories but may not be eating enough.   Building skeletal muscle by increasing protein intake in combination with your exercise can accelerate gains.\n\n You are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 if you want some detailed suggestions on healthy weight loss.\n\nAloha

going to a sauna will help you lose water weight but you have to watch what you eat after or you will gain it right back if you chose this keep fluids in and all fats and sugars out try eating protein only and maybe enough carbs just to burn off by the end of the day around 20 grams but be careful because if youfeel light headed in the sauna leave because you can pass out

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.

In the sauna after it's had about 30 min to cool down.  \nI did this in 2001, once, on an Alaska cruise ship.  Ever since then the cooling sauna is the best.  The smell of cedar and sex......  \nAfter a couple of martinis my girl and I snuck in the spa after the spa was closed.  The cruise ship was rocking and lockers were slamming shut, then swinging open, then slamming shut. We were the only ones in and were hoping the whole time that someone would/wouldn't walk in.  Hot.

Eat smaller portions. You have to think about this seriously, imagine you and your perfect figure in your head and let it stick or else you'll just indulge! I never thought of weight loss in a healthy fashion, so if you don't either, be motivated by what you can fit into later on. The best exercise I can suggest (am i getting a little too into this?) is standing and holding on to your husbands hands, and bending 5-10 times a day. Add on 5 more every day. Good Luck!

I am in the same boat w/you. If you dont act now, you're going to slowly put more weight on.  I didnt' notice when i went from 120- to 135 at all, so its good at least you're noticing. I acually went from 120- up to 150 and then i noticed it!! Scary.well anyway.. to your question. There is no safest, fastest way. Everything has its consequences. My best advice to you is to eat alot of vegetables and fruits. Eat meat only twice a week *boiled meat* is the best. Dont put it in the oven or grill Boiled meat in my opinion is the best, it will probably taste like crap, but it is the smallest in calories (it has to be lean too). Boiled fish, and stuff. I heard cabbage soup works too. Just cabbage, carrots, you can put lots of spices in it. Try eating it for a couple of days( i don tknow if you can eat it for a week) but if you do, guaranteed 10 pounds loss. I Have tried cabbage soup before it works great. Just make sure its only cabbage, carrots, spices, no potatoes!!! If you eat it for a week, you will loose 10-15 pounds. Tummy weight a lot of sit-ups. and jogging. Good luck!! I know its hard, butyou got to catch the beast early, because it only gets harder when yhou have to loose like 30 pounds and 40 pounds!! Also try to get a gym buddy if you can; i wish i had one!! hehe Good luck again, i hope this helps!

Both, bath and sauna help your muscles to recover from exercise smoothly by their heat. Sauna is very good after exercise as it allowes the sweat and dross to come out-then when you take a shower you are deep cleansed of waste products. Sauna has an relaxing effect and can't really see the point having one before the exercise. It is also very good to stretch whilst in sauna after exercise.

restrict yourself to 1200 calories per day\nexercise for 30 mins each day\ndrink plenty of water\ni'm doing it right now,\nand i'm only a little bit lighter than you.\nnot by much.\nand i can do it -\nso, so can you. :)\n\nsend me an email\nmulldacity@yahoo.com\nmaybe we can encourage eachother on!\n\n♥\n\nPS:\n\nChromium is bollocks - it'll help a little, true, but I don't think that person understands what it means for the truly overweight. I've taken it before, and unless you eat healthy and exercise, it's not going to really give you any noticable difference.\n\nAnd yeah. Trainers? Pfft. Why? I play DDR for about 30 mins,  workout mode, heavy, then I do floor exercises until I'm tuckered out.

What a sauna does is make you sweat, which gets rid of all of the moisture in your body, making you dehydrated. While it is okay to do this occasionally, if you don't replace the fluids that you've lost from sweating, you can become chronically dehydrated. This can lead to serious health problems not only with your skin and hair, but with your kidneys and bladder as well. \n\nSaunas do not help you to lose weight. You only lose water, which to remain healthy, you have to replace. This is the equivalent of weiging yourself with a wet shirt on, and then weighing yourself with a dry shirt on. Obviously the wet one will weigh more. \n\nThe healthiest way to lose weight is to eat sensibly and exercise in moderation.

I used self hypnosis to lose a 122 lbs.  Now I have also used a structure eating program with this as well.  At the end of the day, hypnosis or not, it is still a calorie in has to be less than calorie out equation.  \n\nThere is a large mental element to weight loss.  Your self image has tremendous bearing on your success.  How do you see yourself and can you see yourself being successful.  This is where hypnosis can really help.  \n\nPersonally I would avoid the group sessions.  Just my preference but I don't think the one shot deal is really effective.  I would go either with self hypnosis or using a qualified hypnotherapist.  As a guy with over 300 hours of training on the topic and personally successful in losing weight, I have got a pretty good feel for the topic.\n\nMy personal approach is to combine the hypnosis with a some sort of structured program.  As you replace the bad habit, you have have good ones to fill in.  Hypnosis is a great way to help change habits.  I used Weight Watchers.  Interesting thing is that many of the approaches you would take in hypnotherapy are found on what they call Tools for Life.

no way... it makes you the laughing stock of all those who see you.Instead opt for a sauna.It's deceny and dignified.\n  No stomach crunches and cut down on fatty chocholates and ice-creams.Exercise and work out so as to sweat your guts out and you'll burn calories. Sit or stand erect, that way ,your posture burns extra calories, without you havinf to do special exercises for it.
