Quick weight loss is dangerous to ur body especially ur heart. Plus weight that comes off so fast usually comes bk just as fast. U need to see a Dr/nutritionist n get on a program with realistic goals. I know u don't wanna hear this but to lose 130lbs, u will need to give urself at least 1yr to do it safely. Take it one day at a time n celebrate every pound lost.\n\nGood luck!

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking  if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself.  Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two  complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of.  It needs to be diluted.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work from there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help.  Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC.  There are many, many helpful facts on there.

It depends on your age and how over-weight you are.  Someone that weighs 130 lbs. will have a harder time losing 10 lbs. than someone who weighs 180 lbs, even if they eat the same thing and exercise the same.  Ideally you should not lose more than 2 lbs. a week so in 3 1/2 months you "can" lose 28 lbs. But you probably won't.  Just remember... start eating a little less and exercising a little more and the weight will gradually and safely come off. SMALLER helpings means you can still eat the foods you love and STILL lose weight.  30 minutes of walking a day is all you really have to do.

Cardio.  \n\nIn order to lose that last bit of stomach weight, I had to become smaller than what I wanted in order for the remaining weight to drop in that area.  Once I did, I then, slowly put back on some weight with exercise.  \n\nHere are some other tips:\n\nThe holidays can be stressful... and unfortunately, many people reach for food as comfort. If you find yourself regularly eating in response to stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, loneliness, relationship problems, or poor self-esteem, try to break the habit with some of my strategies below.\n\nLearn to recognize your hunger. Before you automatically pop something into your mouth, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5 -- 1 being ravenous and 5 being full. Make every effort to avoid eating when your hunger is a 4 or a 5. \n\nFind alternatives to eating. Make a personal list of activities you can do instead of eating. Perhaps go for a walk, call a friend, listen to music, take a hot shower/bath, exercise, clean your house, polish your nails, surf the Internet, schedule outstanding appointments, watch television, look through a photo album,  \n\nKeep a food journal. Logging your food will help to identify your toughest timeframes. It also will make you accountable... so perhaps you'll be less apt to reach for unnecessary food.\n\nThree-food interference. Make the commitment to first eat three specific healthy foods before starting on caloric comfort foods (i.e., an apple, handful of baby carrots and a yogurt). If after that, you still want to continue with your comfort foods, give yourself permission. However, most of the time, the three foods are enough to stop you from moving on.\n\nExercise regularly. Daily exercise relieves stress and puts you in a positive mindset, which provides greater strength to pass on the unhealthy fare. \n\nGet enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation can increase hunger by decreasing Leptin levels, the appetite regulating hormone that signals fullness. With adequate sleep, you'll also be less tired and have more resolve to fight off the urge to grab foods for comfort.

If you would give anything to lose this weight then start making a plan and stick with it:\n\n1.  Get a physical from your doctor informing him that you want to lose weight.\n\n2.  Find a local community gym that is free.  If not, find a gym that is close to where you live and join.  Or you can start out by just walking daily without joining a gym.  This might be frightful to you because  you are big and may feel that others are looking at you............WHO CARES !\n\n3.  150 pounds to lose is a lot of weight.  You may need to see a counselor to find out why you are addicted to food while losing the weight.\n\n4.  You need to buy a book on binge eating/food addiction so that you can find out what type of relationship you have with food.  Please keep in mind the following:\n\nYou already know how to lose weight.  You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off.  What’s getting in your way?  Why do you usually regain the weight you lost?  The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.”  Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs.  Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating.   Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating.  When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up.   \n\nGet control of your emotional eating and any diet will work.  Best of Luck !\n\n\nDiets do work\n\nDiets can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.\n\nYou may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable. \n\nThis all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging for starting our next diet. \n\nPlease learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:\n\nYou already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs.

First of all, the best way to lose weight and KEEP IT OFF is to engage in a lifestyle change - not a "diet", not a sudden burst of non-stop gymnastics - but a change in how you eat and staying active. Remember this extremely basic reality -- if you take in more calories than you burn, you will store the extra calories, and that is what becomes extra weight. \n\nFinding an exercise regimine that you know you can stay with and ENJOY is a key. Aerobics will burn calories while you work out, and then doing work with weight resistance will build lean muscle mass which increases your resting metabolic rate (you can burn more calories while you're just sitting there).\n\nSlow and steady weight loss is the most effective way to KEEP IT OFF. 20 Kg in two months is a bit ambitious. Setting realistic goals will keep you on track and will keep you encouraged. The key, again, is that you said you wanted to keep it off -- slow and steady and healthy --- that will help you lose it and keep it off.\n\nVery best of luck to you!

Losing 50 pounds is extreme, in my opinion. You probably shouldn't go below 140 to 145 considering you say the weight is not apparent to look at you. Certain body types (mesomorphic or endomorphic) require excess "baggage" for the body to function properly. If you were to binge-diet your way down to 120 lbs too quickly, your body would go into shock, or "starve-mode," and you would end up gaining that weight right back. \n\nBest advice for losing weight: Eat small healthy meals frequently. Examples of small, healthy meals: raw veggies and fat-free Ranch dip, rice cakes with f/f peanut butter (there's your AM protein), apples and oranges are a great way to energize mid-morning, bean-dip (made with f/f refried beans or garbanzos) with whole-grain tortilla chips - the list goes on and on. \n\nEat a properly portioned, sensible dinner. You can have some good "home-cooking," so long as you watch the butter, salt, grease, and fried foods. Steamed veggies are good. Avoid red meat and eat more fish, especially tuna and salmon. \n\nFinally, keep active. Get on the treadmill or take brisk walks at least 4 times a week. Keep your heart rate up - don't stop to take a break. Once you're settled in cardio, you can do some area-specific exercises to firm up muscles. \n\nGood luck!

Forget calories:\n\nJust don't any bread (any)\nDon't drink any soda or crystal light\nNo red meat - chicken breast or turkey\n\nNo butter No mayo, no chips, no candy.\n\nIf these things are heavy in your diet, you will see huge results - 2-4lbs in a week.\n\nWork up a sweat and use 3lb weights and you look fabulous before school starts in the fall.\n\nIt takes 7 days to form a habit...21 to break it....suck it up for 22 days and the rest will be easy.

With this method you can lose 1 pound a day, guaranteed! I've done it before... \n\nYou can eat as much as you want but limited only to:\n1. breakfast - 1 slice toast, 1 glass grapefruit juice, 1 slice fruit (anything except banana). Papaya is good. \n2. lunch (no rice) - burger steak, beef steak, grilled chicken, fish, eggs, cheese and vegetables. \n3. dinner (no rice) - you can choose anything from lunch option but if you had chicken for lunch have something else for dinner. \n4. snacks - diet coke, carrot sticks\n\nDont eat french fries, rice, potato, sweets, ice cream. \nJogging for 30 minutes a day.  Do this for two weeks, then take a two week break, you can eat anything you want but in moderation, then do the same thing for another two weeks until you reach desired weight. You will lose at least 14 lbs in 2 weeks, 1 lb per day. Guaranteed. If you have more questions, email me.. I'll give you my chart. and show you my before and after photographs...

The only real way to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off is to increase your exercise and cut down on your food intake. Your goal of two pounds a week is a sensible and achievable one. The first thing you have to do is decide that it is what you really want to do. i.e. more important than snacking or lying on the couch. You need to change your life i.e. get up from the computer. It really is not that hard once you make up your mind to do it. It also helps if you can do it with a freind or partner for encouragement. It worked for me. Lost about 60 lbs two years ago. Went to the gym about 3 days a week for 2 hours per time. Walked a lot. Decided to eat smaller amounts but more often and slightly reduced my overall intake. Did not snack unless I was really really hungry. I have gained back a bit of the wieght I lost as I am no longer going to the gym but I seem to have leveled off no with an overall loss of 35 lbs. Good luck. John

A simple guide? Okay, here are the basics, but you probably already know them:\n\n1. You MUST burn more caloies than you consume daily. \n\n2. Drink only water. Soda dehydrates you.\n\n3. Find a physical activity you enjoy & do it at least 4 days per weak for 45 minutes or more at a time. You must get your heart rate up and work up a sweat. (Martial arts class does it for me!)\n\n4. If you exercise before you eat breakfast in the morning, you will lose weight a little faster.\n\n5. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so lifting weights will help.\n\n6. Walk as much as you can in addition to your exercise.....park farther away from the door, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the store if you live close enough, ect.....\n\n7. Stay away from all things fried, sugary, or carbonated.  Eat as many vegetables as you wish.
