I'm in the same situation, so I jog/run/hike.  And do pushups.  Anything that gets your heart rate up for 15-20 a day.  And diet is really important at our point in the weight-loss cycle.  We can't just do diet OR exercise, we have to do both.

If you lose weight slowly and exercise, the skin will tighten after awhile, but if you lose weight quickly... then it will sag.

Almost same stuff.\n\nExcept.\n\nThere is a margin. You have to get in 'the zone' where your heartbeat is optimal. If you do 60 minutes you do about 5 minutes to get there and 5 to get down. Equals 50 minutes hard labor.\n\n30 minutes you do the same except for 1 cool-down I would guess but still 5 minutes extra for getting your heartrate back up. Equals 45 minutes hard labor.\n\nThese 5 minutes are not lost. You probably would take more rests if you did it all in a 60 minutes program. If you CAN do 60 minutes full force so to speak, 60 minutes are better for you as you maximize your effort. That's all. Until then two times 30 is better.

no it doesn't. if your heart rate is fast went you're not exercising then you are out of shape. heart rate is all about how physically fit you are. not gender.

In certain conditions yes this is normal.  The big question is "How do you (the patient) feel?"  Some people need a low BP and some people have a heart so poor that it is unable to produce a high BP.  When the BP decreases the heart rate may elevate as a compensatory mechanism to help supply the body with blood. In this circumstance low BP high HR is entirely normal. However, if your BP is so low that you are getting dizzy , feel terrible, tired lethargic you may need further medical advice

mine is about 55-60...not an athlete but i do a lot of physical labor at work and no Dr has said anything about my heart beat being too low...i believe the lower the better...within reason of course, it means that your heart doesn't have to work as hard to move your blood throughout your body

Not a chance. It's safer to lose weight slowly, then there is less chance of putting it back on.

no, this is too low of a stimulus or intake if it was to be a cause, you could talk to the doctor for possible causes of the exact heart beat problem, good luck

i have delt with thousands of patients with a slow heart rate(bradycardia) and it most cases it causes no inconvenience to the person life style or health,, there is simple medication available that will encourage the heart to pump at a normal rate..\na pace maker is a last resort for most patients and usually for the over forties..\nhaving said that a lot depends on what is causing the problem and how slow is the heartbeat.... a heart beat of 60-80 pm is normal for a adult at rest but some athletic people have a heart rate of 40 bpm at rest\nthe heart is a complex organ and has many safety features built into it,, the initial beat comes from the s.a node at the top of the right atrium and sends a signal via the punjibe fibres to encourage the ventricles (lower heart chambers)to contract and pump the blood through the body,, however if the sa. node fails for any reason the heart can fire of the signal to beat at two lower locations and get the same result,, poss this is where your friends missing beat comes into play,, im sure her doctor will do what is required and you try not to worry about your friend im sure she will be fine  ... keep smiling

Weight gain is a common issue with lots of people.  The hardest part after loosing the weight is keeping it off.  About 80% and higher gain all their weight back after losing it, so you have to make it a lifestyle change, not just a diet/exercise plan.  What I suggest is cardio with proper nutrition.  There is NO healthy way to lose weight fast!  Check the web and find out what your Max Heart rate is.  Take 60% of that and work out right below that heart rate for about an hour each day.  It may feel like you are going too slow but it is a common misconception that high intensity will lose fat weight.  Also, eat lots of fruits, vegetables, baked chicken, baked fish, and things that are low in carbohydrates and refined products.  Make sure to eat about 6 times a day, always eating a breakfast, and dinner should be eaten about 3 hours before you go to sleep.  Keep this up and drink lots of water (carry around a gallon jug).  You will start losing weight and feeling so much more energy within a week.

well yes as all that weight puts a strain on the heart not to mention all the other organs but shortness of breath can also be due to other things so see your dr

A question not a lot of people ask, but this is a good one.  There is sometimes a problem with the hypothalamus, which sets your body's weight.  Most often it is higher than we would like, but sometimes it is lower.  There is a juice that is a modifier.  It helps heavier people loose, but more importantly for you, it stimulates underweight bodies to gain.  It modifies blood sugars for some afflicted with type l and even more potently affects people with joint injuries by modifying anti-inflamationenzymes.

that is true that is a risk factor to make your heart unhealthy, but i think your heart could also be unhealthy for other reasons. im pretty sure my heart has an irregular beat/arrhythmia, and my waist is less than 35 inches. its a good thing to look out for, but there are other things to monitor as well. thanks for the tip though :)
