How do you lose weight fast?

Im at 120 close to 124. And my height is 4'11 is there any way i can lose weight fast by the end of feb ?

Recommanded Answer:
i'm no dietician... but i wouldn't suggest coffee.

the street rules to losing weight:
1. drink water instead of other drinks
2. make sure you drink water WHILE you eat your food, or before. this will make you not overeat. one of the greatest tricks ever.
3. get active. do whatever you want in this sense. if you're crazy enough to enjoy running go do that, but for the rest of us, lets do something fun, like learn to dance, play a video game (like wii fit or dance dance revolution), or just waste a bunch of energy doing random things like bouncing up and down while youre sitting still XD

• Drink black coffee makes u use the rest room a lot I did it and lost five pounds in 6 days

How do I get motivated to lose weight?

My sister started the Atkins diet 4 months ago and she has lost 40lbs. She even has 1 cheat day a week and she is still losing weight. How can I get motivated to do this diet and lose at least 60lbs.

Recommanded Answer:
If your sisters example is not enough motivation, I don't know what is.

Give your sister (or somebody else you trust) $1000 dollar for a bet - or any amount which hurts you to lose. If you can lose a specified amount of weight in a certain time (1 lb per week is realistic), then she gives you the money back, if not she gets to keep it. That would add a financial incentive. You could also pay yourself $10 per pound lost, if not you give it to a charity.

• You can die if ur fat:(
• I would imagine yourself 60 pounds lighter.
• Here's one suggestion to get and stay motivated. Buy a nice pair of jeans (or whatever you like to wear most of the time; for me it's jeans) one size smaller than you wear now. Make your first goal to lose enough to fit into those jeans or whatever. Every couple of days, try to get them on. Once you can fit into them, buy another pair, again, one size smaller then the jeans you just fit into. If you make your goals small, they're easier to achieve than looking at the whole picture. Instead of saying to yourself "I have 60 lbs to lose" say instead "I have 10 lbs to lose to fit into these jeans".
• You must design a diet/fitness plan specifically for you

How many carbs to lose weight?

i've been working out for 2 months and barely lost a pound. i now realise i was around 200-250 carbs a day, which is crazy!
how many carbs should i eat per day to lose weight? most websites say 50-100, but i can't go loswer than 110? :( is that okay?

Recommanded Answer:
Do will have to self experiment and find out what works for you. If its hard to go under 110 that's fine. Try 110 and see if that works for you.
Its also important to eat healthy carbs and avoid unhealthy carbs. Eat carbs in the form of fruits, tubers and veggies. Avoid sugar, grains and processed foods.
Calories also matter. You cant eat 3000+ calories a day and lose weight. Eat when your hungry and stop when your full. Listening to your body works pretty well when you do lower carb higher fat. Fat keeps you full and carbs make a lot of people hungry.

• You seem misinformed. Carbs don't make you fat. You gain fat when you're consuming more calories than you're burning. To lose fat you simply need to be at a calorie deficit. The reason why some people lose weight whilst eating low carbs is because they're removing calories from their diet.

Can you lift same amount of weight if you lose weight?

Also they say that you can't lose weight without losing muscle. True or false?

Recommanded Answer:
If you lose body fatYouc can lift the same if not more. MUSCLE WEIGHT WOULD PROBABLY BE GENERAL, not limited to 1 group.
Yes, you can lose fat without losing muscle,Whenn your bodydoesn'tt get enuf to eat it digests the fat stored for that reason, after that goes the muscle, then the internal organs.

• If you add weight lifting and muscle conditioning to your weight loss routine, as well as have sufficient protein in your diet, you will be able to maintain your muscle mass just fine.
• you can lift more with less weight
  a 200 pound guy with 6% body fat will have bigger muscles stronger mucles then a 300 pound guy with 60% body fat.
  I was 240lbs i could do maybe 5 pushups i trained hard for a year got down to 180lbs and could do handstand pushups with ease my lifting capcity was increased nearly by 5 times.
  you gain muscle to burn fat.
  but it all depends how you start out.
  if you have only 5% body fat and weigh 200lbs and you lose 20lbs your lifting ability will go down it all depends how good a shape you are in to start.

Can drinking 64 oz of water a day help you lose weight?

If so how much? I'm trying to eat healthier and lose weight and I heard drinking a lot of water helps.

Recommanded Answer:
It's more that water doesn't have any calories and it will keep you filling more full so you won't snack as much. It does help with a lot of the body's process' but don't expect too much. Find an Enjoyable Exercise and keep it that way. Exercise if the far better half of " exercise and dieting", so many more benefits can be gained and weight loss will be faster and easier overall.

• Drink 2 glasses of water the moment you get up, and 2 right before your meals. Also drink a glass in between meals :)
• OMG! U r gorgeous damn pretty i want a relation with u plzz plz give me ur full details & wil giv u 2 bcx i want a relation with you!! PLZZZ well drink 2 glass of water before breakfast, lunch & dinner daily it will work 4 sure :) ;)
• Yes, drinking lots of water is great. You can't eat too much if your tummy is already full of water. Good way to lose weight and keep your skin clear. A good plan would be:
  
  Breakfast: low fat milk on cooked 9-grain cereal (from health food store), mixed with cooked oatmeal and wheat bran. Add some nuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine.
  
  Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham or beef stew.
  
  Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.
  
  Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.
  
  Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.
  
  Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes.
  
  Foods to avoid: junk food, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fatty/greasy foods (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, fast food, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.
  
  To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)
  
  Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Also hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, badminton, tennis...
  
  If you lack energy to exercise, take stress B vitamins.
  To lose weight, try an appetite suppressant
• No. Drinking copious amounts of water will not help you lose weight. Just drink when your thirsty.
