I am only 164 cm (5"4) and weigh 87kg !! CRAP :(?

OK, a year and a half ago I weight 61 kg and was happy with that, then I started uni full time and so my exercise and diet became less important than my studies. Presently I weigh 87 kg and am only 5"4, I asked my doctor what I should do about it and she said it wasn't that bad!! but I know it's bad! So basically I am asking for tips on how to lose weight (QUICKLY) and also if you have lost weight could you share your success story :)p.s I should probably mention that- I am a stockier build (or curvier) and don't actually have fat rolls,- People tell me that I don't need to lose weight (they don't know how much I weigh and im pretty sure they are just being nice) - I have gone from an Australian size 10 to an Australian size 14-16 :(Ok let me re-word this, I used to be 61 kg (134 pounds), but I have put on 26kg and NOW I WEIGH 87kg (191 pounds) .

How to Lose Weight From Face

Recommended Answer:

Sigh. I totally feel you.I went from 50kg to 62 in a single school year! crazy. I had lost 5, but then gained 15!However, this was from following crazy diet fads that starve you and pretty much kill your metabolism.I fell into a cycle of binge eating since I was also using food to cope with stress and studies.Anyway, I'm still in recovery phase, but I've come a long way in terms of knowledge.I've researched foods, diets, workouts, exercises, metabolism, eating disorders.I really wanted a change and I wanted to learn everything I could.I tried so many diets that made me so upset when I failed them, so many pointless 'workout programs' of crunches x 1000000anyway. Now I follow IIFYM, a flexible dieting system. I eat healthy, but also enjoy an occasional treat if I've been doing well throughout the day. I find ways to cope with stress like working out, listening to music, punching stuff. I workout as often as possible- I find lifting weights is a great way to relieve stress and also manage weight. I havent lost any weight yet, but I'm staying away from the scale so i don't feel bad. I think it's more important to commit to something in order to see results.I think the hardest part with weight loss is patience. It hard to keep going when you can't see results, but you've got to stick to it and just enjoy the process :)

• It's actually a fine weight for your height. 61kg is 134 pounds. You could just exercise to get rid of fat. In turn, you will lose weight.
• shit girl I'm 5'8 and 132 your not that bad.You could weigh like 180. That would be bad.You just have a bit of chub. Maybe you could do yoga? does not take a lot of time and you can do it at homeTrust me. I used to think I was fat because all my friends weigh 120 and I'm 5'8 and weigh 132 but when I did yoga it gave me the appearance of weighing 120!

What is a good weight lifting routine for me to follow?

24 yr old male. Weight: 125 Kgs / 275 lbs. Height: 5ft 10in / 178 cm. Trying to lose weight through dieting, cardio and weightlifting. The routine I am currently doing is as follows:Cardio: 45 Minutes on the treadmill. 4 times a week.Weight Lifting: Daily Routine as follows -Sit ups: 2 sets. 15 reps each set.*Standing Barbell Curls: 20 Kgs / 44 Lbs. 3 sets. 8 reps each set.*Bench Presses: 20 Kgs / 44 Lbs. 3 sets. 15 reps each set.Leg Curls: 10 Kgs / 22 Lbs. 3 sets. 10 reps each set.Right Bicep Curls: 10 Kgs / 22 Lbs. 3 sets. 10 reps each set.Left Bicep Curls: 10 Kgs / 22 Lbs. 3 sets. 10 reps each set.* The bench press and standing barbell curls weights mentioned above take into account the weight of the rod itself ( 5 Kgs / 11 Lbs)While I want to, and am trying to lose weight overall, the most important areas I want to see a substantial transformation in are my stomach and chest. I have done some research but still consider myself a complete beginner when it comes to weight lifting. So please help me out by letting me know:How to improve the routine mentioned above?What additional exercises I should start doing that focus on the chest and stomach areas?Are inclined bench presses better than standard bench presses?After how long, and by how much should I increase the weights I'm working with?And I was wondering if I can keep doing the weightlifting routine daily or do I need to take a day off or something like that?Thank you very much in advance for your time.

How to Eat Chocolate to Lose Weight

Diet is the most important part of losing weight. Weight loss is a calorie game. If you take in less than what your body burns in a day, you lose weight. Period.As far as the work out routine, I see nothing wrong with the cardio bit. 45 minutes, 4 days a week sounds sufficient for now. As you lose weight, you can start looking into more extreme and advanced cardio movements. Hill sprints and sled pushes are THE best things for conditioning.The weight routine is godawful. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but dude that routine sucks. Here is why. -Sit ups are awful for the back, and really don't do much for the abs. -You are doing two bicep curl variations in the same workout. This is not necessary. In fact, at your level isolation movements are not necessary at all. -For that reason, you can also 86 the leg curls.I am a proponent of the big barbell movements. Squats, deadlifts, and presses. As far as an actual routine, look into Starting Strength, Strong Lifts, Madcow, 5/3/1 or similar programs. Every single expert (real experts, not just random jackasses on Yahoo Answers like me) in the strength training field will tell you to squat, deadlift and press. Reason being, they WORK."What additional exercises I should start doing that focus on the chest and stomach areas?"As far as additional exercises go, this is a partial lift of stuff that I find effective. Keep in mind that this is what has worked FOR ME, you might need different movements to get results.-Upper bodyPull upsDipsKroc rowPendlay rowIncline pressFloor pressKlokov press-Lower bodyMore squatsMore deadlifts... I honestly don't do much assistance work for lower body. Never needed to really.-Abs/"core"Ab wheelFlutter kicksLeg raisesFarmers walksYoke walks"Are inclined bench presses better than standard bench presses?"Incline bench has its place, but should not replace the regular old bench press. You need to flat bench. Period."After how long, and by how much should I increase the weights I'm working with?"As far as increasing weights, you can start off MUCH heavier. At your weight you are capable of moving more than you think. If you are diligent and dedicated, you can add 5 pounds to the upper body lifts a month, and 10 pounds to lower body lifts for at least 6 months. After that, it gets a bit harder to increase weight."And I was wondering if I can keep doing the weightlifting routine daily or do I need to take a day off or something like that?"Its possible to train weights daily, but I think its not the best way of going about it. I lift 5 days a week, taking Saturday and Sunday off. I do that by having different routines for each day. Read into the programs I mentioned above, and this will all make much more sense.

What is the physical process of getting a flat stomach?

Hello there,

So..I''ve been working out for 2 weeks. I know, changes don''t happen over night..but I was wondering what/where I should watch for to see if I''m working out correctly..?

I would just like to know where I should be losing fat around my body first and how will I know?

So far..right under my belly, I can feel it getting harder..but my belly is still out there (is that normal?)

About me:
-Female
-20 years old
-160 lbs
-5''1 or 5''0
-Apple shaped body/ beer belly?

Workout (6 days a week):

How to Lose Weight Without Losing Meat - The Weight Loss Program For Meat Lovers

Recommended Answer:
If you feel your abs getting ''harder'' it means you are building muscle underneath fat. I suggest you do a combination of strength and cardio (HIIT are the best) to get those abs out of hiding.
Because you are apple shaped, the last place you are going to lose fat from is your tummy. But don''t be discouraged! It''s great that you cut out junk food but don''t give up carbs entirely. (they are not as bad as some people say)
Also, don''t workout that much. 4-5 times a weeks, max 2 hours per day is more than enough.
Good luck!!

• If you run every day or at least every other day for the next 3-4 months you will be epic.
  Eat right, drink water instead of soda as much as you can, beer sucks, etc etc
  
  Just get a sick playlist for your ipod and run at least a mile a day or some heart racing activity for 20 minutes a day. Get active.

What are the chances of a 15yr old male to have a stroke?

Hi I''m 15 years old and I have had asked a few question on yahoo answers relateing to this topic because my biggest fear is imediate death and to stroke up the back of my head has a feeling that its not getting enough oxygen and my smile is crooked.

What are the chances of strokes or tmi for any 15yr old male?

How to Lose Weight and Keep it Off - Don''t Read This If You Aren''t Serious About Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
I feel that you are freaking yourself out with all this talk and hearing about what you see on yahoo. If you do a google search on any symptoms, chances are it will all eventually point to death but that is not true most of the time. Since you have undergone a full physical I suggest you look to channel that energy into something productive and look to gain weight progressively for you to lead a healthy lifestyle and have a healthy bmi. That is done by eating a high calorie diet, sleeping well and doing the right workout.

A high calorie diet that is filled with carbohydrates is suggested above all other diet is because a high carbohydrate diet does little to screw your body up. Protein leaves behind nitrates which puts unnecessary stress on the liver and kidneys while fat makes you multiply fat cells which soon will be out of control. If you are looking to gain weight, I suggest you look into eating things like potatoes, pasta, noodles, bread, biscuit and rice 6 times a day. That will provide the calorie surplus you need to grow. If eating 6 meals a day is difficult to accomplish or takes up too much time, I suggest you look to drink 500ml of milk 3 times a day to make up for the calories you need. Increase the amount by 100ml until you see a desired 1 pound gain on the scale after a week of effort.

The next thing to definitely get right to prime your body for growth is sleep. Many people do not get enough sleep let alone quality sleep. Both is needed to ensure that you will be fully energized as well as fully recovered to grow. Your body grows slower if it is under stress like uncomfortable sleeping condition which could make you fall sick easily, nullifying your gains back into the ground. I would suggest sleeping and waking up all by yourself if possible and if not, simply remember to do it 2 times during the weekends.

Lastly, exercise is the trigger to gain weight. Many people spread the basic logic that if you are looking to gain, you should stop everything else to prevent unnecessary calorie loss. However, that is solving the problem on the surface like using a bucket to bail out water when your boat has a hole and it is sinking. What you need to do is finding the "hole" and plunge it, then bail out the water. Muscle building is essential as it stabilize your body weight instead of letting your diet and activity level chew through your progress. Gaining muscle also helps you to gain in places where you want it to grow; making it an ideal choice if you are looking to spot gain. I suggest you take a look at http://gohforth.com for a workout regime that I''m sure will help you to gain weight.

• Your chance of having a stroke is essentially zero.
  
  You have an anxiety disorder. Ask your doctor to help you with that.
• The chances are very rare. I highly doubt at your age that you are going to have a stroke. Relax and don''t worry so much because that will make your blood pressure go even higher. Hope I helped. :D
• You will be ok have doctor look @ your high B.P . Or you talk to him about panic attacks. May need meds for other problems?
• extremely small
• Your fear is ridiculous. You''re too young for a stroke.

How to Lose Weight - Don''t Lose Your Sleep and You''ll Lose Your Weight

Recommended Answer:
Your current weight is pretty healthy. If you would like to lose weight, however want to make sure that you do not go the wrong way, then use a BMI calculator (like the one below) to ensure that you do not jeopardize you overal health/

Good luck

• You need to lose, by my well thought out and CORRECT calculations, 140 pounds
• Your BMI at 5''7 and 140 pounds is 21.9 which puts you in the normal weight rage. As long as you eat right, exercise and feel healthy overall then there is no need to loose weight. you could however safely loose 15 pounds and still be in a healthy weight range :)
  
  Underweight = <18.5
  Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
  Overweight = 25–29.9
  Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
