How do i lose weight! HELP!?
961190
my parents are both health fanatics. i, unfortunately, am not. However,  for a play i was in i needed to lose about 10 lbs to fit into the costume i was supposed to wear. I'm the type of person who hates going to the gym.. and loves chocolate.  I found myself in the same situation as you.. needing to lose the weight fast. So my parents suggested a reward program for me.. that would have negitive consequences if i didnt stick to it.  I ate about 5 SMALL meals at the same time each day, with half an hour of elliptical 3 days a week. I drank about 10- 12 glasses of water a day, and stayed away from foods high in sodium so that i would lose water weight.  I ate oatmeal as a breakfast with a chocolate flavored protein in it, which made it taste so amazing, i couldnt believe what i was eating was healthy!  I bought a dress that was too tight for me and threw away the tags as motivation.  It was different, and honestly annoying at first.. but after about the second week, i got into the habit and my body got use to doing exercise and eating semi-healthy foods and drinking lots of water. I have stayed in this lifestyle for about 4 months now, and i honestly couldnt be happier. I have energy and motivation in my life, not to mention how hot i look in that dress i bought!! I didnt think i could do it.. and it never worked before... but you can do it TOO!!  If you need motivation.. I believe in you. YOU can make it happen.

the truth is its almost imposibble to lose weight as a kid. it may be possible but very hard. i would weight till ur 15 cus it more easier. but u can get a start on this.\ntry taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

Losing weight help\n\nlose weight fastWe get weight by eating extra calories and incorrect amount of macronutrients. There are two ways by which we can lose weight.\n\n\n    * Eating less\n\n    * Exercising more\n\n\nYou know\n1 gram of protein = 4 calories\n1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories\n1 gram of fat = 9 calories\n1 pound of fat = 454 gram\nSo 1 pound of fat = 9*454 = 4086 calories\n\nNote: Our body fat contains around 3500 calories, as 10% of it is water.\nSo in order to lose a pound of fat (4086) in 2 weeks, we need to decrease calories consumption by 290 per day as 4096/14=290(approx)\n\n15 minute of good exercise will help you in losing around 100 calories. So in order to lose 1 pound of fat in two weeks, we need to exercise for around 45 minutes (290 calories) if we do not want to make any changing in our eating habit. So just take care of the amount of calories in the food you take. The best idea for losing weight will be by cutting down the junk food with exercising. So greatest way to lose weight is a mixture of diet and exercise as exercise builds muscles, and bigger muscles burn more fat.

Well...I don't mean to be the obvious one of the group...nor the smart...butt...but I think the only way for one to lose weight is to burn more calories then one consumes?? Wouldn't you agree? :o)\n\nFirst thing to do is determine (like the other individual said) is whether you want to lose weight or look more toned. After that...find out your body type. Are you a pear (bottom heavy), hourglass, apple (all around), etc... Once you find out your body type you will be able to find the exercises that will most help you lost weight and look more toned at the same time. This website can help you find out what body type you are and what exercises help most...\n\nwww.ivillage.com\n\nNext thing to do is find out how many empty calories you intake a day into your body. By empty calories I mean, junk food, candy, and ESPECIALLY pop!! One can of coke has 180 calories!! Twenty cans of coke equal a gain of 1 pound!! So if you determine what calories you take in that are not essential to the overall health of your body you can see how many calories you take it that are adding to weight gain. \n\nYou only need to lose 3500 calories to drop one pound. That’s a loss of 500 calories a day to lose one pound a week. So if you drink two cokes a day, or a candy bar and chips...scrap it out of your diet. Then add in an exercise that will burn 200 calories, and there you go! You’re on your way already. \n\nAnother great thing to remember and investigate is the type of foods you eat. Chicken and fish are some of the best foods to incorporate into your diet if you are on a weight loss plan. Did you know that ground beef has 36% fat in it? That’s huge!! The best way to find out the fat and calorie content of food is to just search out the Internet. Here’s a great website to start you out.\n\nhttp://www.caloriecountercharts.com/chart1a.htm\n\nIf you do decide to exercise, I suggest doing it in the morning, this way you have kick-started your metabolism and it will burn more and be higher throughout the entire day so you can burn more calories then if you were to work out at night. \n\nSo in short, if you want to lose weight you have to incorporate a variety of things together. Exercise, eating the right foods, and voiding the empty calories, are great beginners. \n\nHere’s a hint though...don't completely void out of the empty calories out of your diet, you have to cheat once in a while...or one day...when you get home from clubbing, you'll order a pizza and eat the entire thing or buy an entire box of chocolate bars and eat them all in one day...not good!!\n\nNow, although I agree that diets do not work, and most people tend to gain back all the weight if not more when they go off the diet. If you incorporate the diet into your daily life and life the diet, then its not really a diet...its a lifestyle! Never call it a diet...just a change of lifestyle!!!\n\n Another thing to consider when eating is to eat slowly. It takes the stomach about 20 minutes to signal the brain when it is full. Take smaller bites, converse while you eat, and chew more slowly and thoroughly. This will help with overeating and consuming more calories then your body needs. \n\nHope this helps.

Exercise and start calorie counting.  Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good.  If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

It's never easy to lose weight.\nDrinking lots of water will help, as someone else suggested.\nYou can also try to just cut your food intake in half or less without worrying about WHAT it is you're eating.  Try to fit "non-exercise" exercise into  your daily life. Park far away no matter where you go so you have to walk farther.  Never take an elevator if there's stairs.\nYou might want to make some eating rules too--never eat after 6 or 7 (which ever one works for you, mine is 7 due to my schedule), never eat in the car, never eat standing up, never eat from a package (always off a plate), never eat while watching TV or reading, chew every bite 25 times, put the fork down between bites, take at least a half hour from start to finish on each meal, never finish everything on your plate, etc.

I've been trying to lose weight and the best way I have found is with Weight Watchers.  You can eat and eat what you want.  It's simple and it also promotes a more healthy style of eating.  I have found also that the weight stays off.  Another good way to lose the wieght is walk...walk walk walk!!\nYou would be surprised how much you will drop.  And drink water...sip it all through the day...you'll melt away in no time!

1. Start with a positive attitude.\n2. Research and access your body to see if you really need to lose weight or just tone up.\n3. Have a realistic goal. Aim for 1-2 lbs. per week.\n4. Set up a basic diet of fruits, veggies, lean meats and a little dairy. Drink lots of water. Decide on how many calorires you need in a day and try to stay within the max....but at least eat 1200 to 1400 a day.\n5 Set up an exercise program...walking is good. Do this daily or every other day.\n6. Add in some weight bearing exercises to help tone up your muscles.\n7. Only weigh yourself once a week or once a month. Don't get caught up in the numbers... \n8. Don't give up.\n\nBottom line: you have to burn more calories than you take in.

A great way to lose weight is to go on a protien diet, and eat less porportions. Eat meat, cheese, eggs...that kind of stuff. And when you can try to go for a walk or jog. And also try sit ups. but first just try the protien diet. There is another diet as well its kind of weird but it makes you lose 10 pounds in 1 week (supposedly) i havent tried it but i guess it works. You eat cabbage soup. You can eat as much of it as you want and every now and then throw in a banana or a baked potato i bet it might work. Just what ever you do dont starve your self or anything like that taht can cause further problems well i hope i was help! GOOD LUCK!

running, push ups, sit ups ... if u want to lose weight, just eat right and moderately and exercise. Oh and drink at least 8 gallons of water..that should make you eat less lol. (8 gallons a day is what an average person should drink)

Go to the gym! Do five minutes of cardio to get your heart rate going, then do some weights, and finally do about a half hour of cardio. You will shed pounds quickly this way (I did).\n\nAlso, be thoughtful about what you eat. Try to take on more fresh fruits and veggies and fewer heavier items. (Dunkin Donuts will NOT help you lose weight!)\n\nI don't think you need to lose weight though. I think you're gorgeous.

Do you need to lose weight?  That's the important question.  If you really are overweight this is what you should do:\n\nYou have to choose a heatlthy lifestyle.  Eat right, eat moderately.  Incorporate fruits and veggies and cut out the junk.  Exercise consistently, not just sporadically--a combination of cardio and strength-training would be best.  NEVER take diet pills, they are 100% not good for you.\n\nGood luck. :-)
