How to Lose Weight while Pregnant

Recommended Answer:

Well, when you think about it, what's a treadmill? You're basically running in place.You're working muscles and getting a cardio workout, so that seems fine to me. :)I don't really exercise outside or go to a gym, so I hope this is helpful.I start with basic stretches:Toe touches, greasers (you roll your arms over your head, like an exaggerated movement of a greaser combing their hair), that kind of stuff.I go into cardio:Jogging around the room, squat punches (you just get as deep into a squat position as you can manage and do boxer punches), I don't know what a name for them would be, but I do these moves where I squat, punch 3 time really quick and then rise up and kick in the air. And I'll do that for each leg about 70 times. And every time I do it, I challenge myself and kick higher! Sounds really hard, but if you want results, you have to be your own worst personal trainer.Ab Workouts:Crunches! Definitely crunches. :DBut you have to remember to do your cardio, or the crunches won't really do anything for you. You'd just have great abs under a bunch of flab, because cardio workouts help burn off that fat. xDSo crunches, bicycle crunches, and I'm sure you could find more on the internet. c:If you have any other questions on more moves, or even just staying motivated, send me a message.I'd love to help. :)Oh and one last thing.Try out this website. :)http://sparkteens.com/It's very helpful in weight loss or weight maintaining for teens. :D

How Can I Lose Weight in a Healthy Way?

Recommended Answer:
Hi sweetie, let me share a little something-something to you..
When I was little, my uncle abused my sister. Nobody liked me at school and I had constant mood-swings. And one day, I thought about suicide. I know it''s something you''re avoiding, but just thought I''ll put it up :)
But it was only my surroundings that affected. And as cheesy as this sounds, be yourself. Be who you used to be. Think of what makes you happy. Anything. Start by smiling a lot. With what you do, your surroundings can change. About your stepdad, I suggest you go to an adult you can trust. If you don''t have someone, then find them. Read funny books and watch tv or play games. They can really make your heart grin.
About your school dilemma, either you ignore, or stand up to them. Call them out. And your mom, try to reach out to her.
About your body, don''t worry, I''ve been there :). Eat small meals 5 times a day. Once you feel like it, start exercising.
I know how it feels, but trust me, as cheesy as this sounds, it gets better (trevorproject reference :))

Im hungry but I can''t eat?

It''s like 11:25 pm here, and I''m up because I''m so hungry.
I''ve recently (three days ago) given up meat and I plan to stick to it.
I''m also on a diet but I eat three meals a day and I drink plenty of water. Advice? How do I make the hunger go away?

Why Had I Stopped Losing Weight?

Recommended Answer:
Well, your body is hungry, so you make the hunger go away by eating something. Oh, you;ve used up your daily calories on your previous meals? You''ll need to make a change then. If you''re trying to lose weight, start eating more calorie un-dense foods such as vegetables...and dust.

Try not to think, "Oh this pudding cup/muffin fits into my calorie limits." instead think, "Has sugar. No thank you *falcon punch*".

• Problem right there when on diet eating three meals is why you ate hungry. They say you should eat 5 small meals. Breakfast , snack, lunch, snack and dinner. I do insanity and been loosing 1-2 pounds a week

16 Reasons to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don''t eat wheat then you don''t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don''t eat junk food, and you don''t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It''s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

• Work out 30 minutes everyday and cut out all soda, high fat foods and honestly eating salad every meal isn''t the best, still eat meat but make sure all of fruits for energy and veggies too, don''t try weight loss pills also make sure to keep your metabolism up but eating regularly and almost the same time every single day, run more than weight lift if you work out because if you weight lift you will just grow muscle mass and actually gain weight, it''s not a bad thing but if your focused of loosing weight and that''s it it''s prolly best to run
• hydroxycut baby! You know what food to eat. If it comes in a package don''t eat it. Fruit, veggies, lean meat (fish, turkey, skinless poultry) legumes...mmmm! water, water,water...try to avoid other liquids. Drink it ice cold, trust me. Exercise---> I prefer sprints bc it burns fat like a mofo, or 30 mins of cardio but that also burns a lot more muscle compared to sprints, resistance training. I also lift 5x a week. Chest/tris, back and bis, shoulders, legs, another back and bi day. (only been going hard on back and bi''s bc i want bigger). 45 mins is sufficient, but I feel it isn''t enough. Usually takes an hour and half b4 i''m done lifting. But train hard and you will be happy with your results. I been taking hydroxycut bc I wanna burn the excess fat. It''s great but not necessary. I''ve gone from 205->195 in 18 days my clothes are fitting a lot better and i have maintained my str. But my diet has changed completly so it isn''t a substitute so you can eat trashy.
• exercise at least an hour a day. it doesn''t have to be hard core, just simple walking on a track will do. a combination of aerobics and muscle training is ideal. also, try to eat many whole foods, and have healthy alternatives when craving things. (honey, blueberries, bananas, etc.) and, maybe most importantly, drink A LOT of water(not enough to drown, though...) and don''t try to lose the weight too fast. that can bite back in the future.
  
  hope this helps. : )
