How do i loose weight?

How to Lose Weight on a Budget

Recommended Answer:

Hi hun. I understand how uncomfortable you are, I'm a senior girl in high school. When I was your age I was unhappy with my body but I quickly changed that. If you want to lose weight in a healthy way that actually lasts, you're not going to lose weight very quickly. But you will be much happier in the long run. 1.) Think positive. By thinking negatively about yourself, you attract more negative things. Know that you're beautiful no matter what. 2.) Do not skip meals! You should be eating about six small meals a day to keep your metabolism up. By not eating, you're actually going to gain more weight because your body will store fat.3.) Eat healthy. It's ok to have a treat or few a day, but keep it at a low. You should be eating a good variety of fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, dairy, some bread. 4.) Drink lots of water. It fills you up, keeps you hydrated, and can help you lose weight more quickly. 5.) Get active! After 7th grade, I joined a swim team. Swimming is such a great sport and tones you up and burns a lot of calories. Go on walks everyday, play tennis, soccer, go in runs, join a gym; try to get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. It's definitely the main key to losing weight. 6.) Do not take weight loss pills or go on diets. A lot of people try to find the easy way out of losing weight by using alternative methods. The truth is, nothing good will come that easily. The best way to lose weight and have it stick with you for the rest of your life is to learn how to have a healthy lifestyle. HONESTLY: it's easier than you think. Just eat healthy and exercise! Good luck :)

• Don't drink soda and limit junk food one time a day. Ull lose a lot! And do a sport if not excersize daily!
• its lose not loose. exercise helps, having a healthy diet, not over working things...you're young so it will be hard for you, i know when i was little i use to eat so much food i didnt realise how many calories i was taking in, its hard to notice stuff like that when the food you eat all adds up, so havign a stricter diet is good, no junk food, not too much meats and sweets, and getting out on your bike, with your mates, whatever.
• Avoid bad carbohydrates found such as in soda,cookies,cake,ext. and of course junk food. exercise and eat healthy and you will achieve your goal.
• Eat less and exercise. Don't worry about losing weight fast, fast is not healthy. Don't eat junk. Don't drink soda. Snack on fruit, nuts, cheese. Drink milk, natural juice, and lots of water. Walk places or ride a bicycle. You know what to do, you just have to want to do it.
• Do a lot of interval training aka cardio and body toning. Drink 8 glasses of water. Start eating food in 5 small portions. Don't starve yourself though. When you starve yourself your metabolism slows down and you tend to put on weight. Also drink green tea it helps too. I know cayenne pepper helps speed your metabolism. Don't try to lose weight fast because you'll have to deal with a lot of skin. Try to eat more healthily. Cut out sodas and junk foods out of your diet. I'm not saying cut sugar out of your diet. Just start having healthier alternatives. Don't fret about being looked at weirdly. I remember being in 6th grade and I was overweight. Now I'm going to 9th grade and I have a very attractive womanly body now. Lose weight for yourself but not for others. Remember you are beautiful the way you are.

What weight loss pills work?

What weight loss pills really work?

Stop Excusing Yourself From Losing Weight and Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
Try using a thermogenic diet pill because they work the best and REALLY do work because they help your body to burn more fat. They have been proven to work in real scientific research studies and you can still find true thermogenic products available at: http://www.thermophenphen.com/thermogenic_weightloss_supplements_work.asp

• OxyElite... Or get some Anavar
• One thing I would like to comment on is that weight loss program fast can be achieved by the right diet and exercise. A person''s size not only affects appearance, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical abilities are affected in weight gain. It is possible to do everything right and still gain. If this happens, a medical problem may be the culprit. While too much food and not enough exercise are usually to blame, common medical conditions and widely used prescriptions can greatly add to size.

why is it so hard for me to lose my belly fat, i exercise and eat healthy?

i''m 19, female.
currently weigh 140lbs standing at 5''2
so I have over weight for my height..
i used to be 120 2 years ago, and im trying really hard to get back to my old weight
I eat very small portions, breakfast i''ll eat oatmeal with some fruit or a fried egg (depending if i have time or not)
lunch and dinner usually goes (a small salad, fruit, salmon, avocado/tomatos/onions) and its in very small portions. I don''t drink anything else besides water.
I work out every other day, doing 40 min of cardio, and I do squat training and ab work outs.
But i don''t seem to be getting ANY results. although its only been two weeks, I don''t feel or see ANY progress, I haven''t lose even one pound yet and its just so discouraging and i don''t know what i''m doing wrong. I haven''t eaten this healthy my whole life and Im always hungry but i still fight it. any tips? pleaseeee!!

Dance To Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
If you keep doing what your doing one day you will wake up and realize the weight just dropped, sometimes that''s how it works. Skip the fried egg, boil a bunch of eggs and keep them in the fridge, then you can eat them when you are hungry. Eat apples, bananas, celery carrots. Drink lots of water, and don''t be afraid to throw down a cup of coffee in the morning. Does help curve the appetite!

• Drink green tea and walk or jog every day.
• You probably don''t see a difference because you see yourself every day. It is a possibility, when I lost the 10 pounds, I saw no difference. People have told me I have gotten skinnier though. Maybe you aren''t losing even a pound yet because you''re gaining muscle. Squats are very good for you, they also have you gain muscle easily though. At least for me, I got muscles in my legs after about 2 months of them. They can help make your legs skinnier, and bigger. Skinnier from side, bigger from front though if you have muscles. They weigh more than fat too (muscles), so that might be why. If you''re doing crunches, you might want to stop. Those damage your spine. You can''t spot reduce, you have to lose weight overall. Good luck!
• When your hungry your body holds on to fat. Try weight lifting and less cardio and eat more food so that your not hungry but eat healthy food so instead of fried egg..do boiled egg and take the yellow out...drink a lot of water and try apple cider vinegar. Get Jillian Michal 6 week.6 pack. :-)
• Over the course of two weeks it would be a miracle to see results- you''d really only lose about 1-3 pounds, maybe a bit more which isn''t enough to really SEE results. It might be visible to others but to the person who is actually losing the weight it''s really hard to see. A couple years ago I lost a lot of weight however I didn''t notice- I thought I looked the same but people kept telling me how much thinner I looked.
  
  Just hang in there. It takes a bit before you really see the results of your hard work, and it''s worth it!
• here is a list of foods you should be eating
  
  tuna, salmon, chicken breast, lentels, brown rice, rye bread, yams oatmeal, chicken breast, beef, eggs
  nuts, fruits,
  
  and you need to workout 4-5 days a week
  30-40 mins of cardio
  an 60 mins of weight training
• theres 3 possible reasons:
  
  1. your workout isnt intense enough
  2. your diet is wrong (you''re either eating too little or too much)
  3. you''re not getting enough rest
  
  most of the time, the problem for people would be their diets. many think they''re eating how they should but most arent dieting correctly

how come my calves won''t get smaller?

how come my calves wont get smaller???
so ive been losing weigbt lately, and one of my main targets are my thighs and calves, my thighs have slimmed down and some other parts of my body, but my calves!? they havent slimmed down, not even a little bit???? im so aggravated because im sick of not being able to wear some boots due to my large calves...it makes me really upset, because i want to shrink down my calves. please help me..

and if your going to answer "its genetics" dont even bother to answer cause both my parents have small calves and so does my sister, so seriously dont.

Losing Weight and Losing Those Love Handles

Recommended Answer:
You have to maybe wait until you''ve lost more of your weight to see the difference on your calves and thighs. Maybe you store more fat there than other parts of your body.

Also you could be doing exercises that bulk up your calves which you should then avoid.

Keep your diet on track so that you get to you goal weight and start doing workouts that create long, lean, toned bodies and not bulky or masculine muscular ones.

Try ballet/barre inspired, yoga, pilates or fusions of them. Those create great bodies especially for legs! Look into:

Lotte Berk or Bar Method
Pure Barre
Ballet Body Signature Series from leah sarago
Rockin Models
Pop Physique
Physique 57
Cardio Barre
Ballet Beautiful
Tracy Anderson Method
Ballerobica
Barre3
Booty Barre
Exhale Core Fusion
Winsor Pilates
AeroBarre
anything from Ellen Barrett or Kristen Mcgee
Xtend Barre

These are all great. Also try Tonique workouts.

• Your probably gaining muscle.
• What exercises do you perform? Try swimming an cycling as they target the leg area. And don''t get upset but it may actually be your genes, you may be bigger bones and your muscle mass may be different compared to your family. Also try hiking and walking more frequently
• Omgosh I have the same problem too, but apparently mine is genetics. I seriously want to wear boots.
  One of the trainers I talk to said that there is fat around the calves area and we need to work it out by doing calf raises, but i feel like that is going to make mine bigger. You should try it out.
  Also, if you have been running and doing any sports at a young age that is also a reason why you have big calves.
  Eventually, if you keep on working out, your calf will decrease.
  
  How did you lose weight around your thighs ?? I have been doing squats and lunges with weights and elliptical for 40 mins for 2 weeks now. No improvement at all. :( But I lost 20pounds prior to that..
• My calves took a while to slim down when I lost weight. I wanted a pair of knee high boots and I bought a pair I could just squeeze into without any socks or pants and over the course of two months of running I slimmed down enough to get into them comfortably.
  
  Try doing some different exercises to tighten up all of the muscles down there and continue to reduce your body fat percentage with diet and hopefully your legs will slim down.
• Ok if you dont wanna listen to people telling you the truth, then ask a nutritionist or another expert, why are you instructing people to be stupid for you? Your calves are a muscle, nearly pure muscle, how do you lose muscle? you stop training that area, but there isnt anybody thats not training their calves, when you walk you use them all the time, you know? Any fat that you take in doesnt go to your calves, it goes largely into your belly, hips, and thighs, the only way calves would have fat in them is in a severely obese person and even thats rare. Keep working on your legs and thighs, maybe when that starts getting slimmer your calves will naturally ''appear'' smaller. And we are also not exact copies of our parents, we also carry our own set of unique variations and mutations that our parents did not have. I have real big calves, the kind you see in sprinters, my dad has baby calves, my mom has an athletic body type so her calves are as average for a fit woman as it gets, so how do I have the calves of a sprinter then?
• I know how you feel! i have massive calf muscles but no one else does in my family! Im a dancer so this probably builds up my muscles a lot. I actually asked the doctor about it and he just said its the way im built and theres not much i can do about it. :( The only way to get rid of muscle like that is to not eat much and sit around without moving for a long amount of time so you lose muscle. But then you wont be able to run and jump etc since all your muscle is gone. I have recently lost 4kg and am at my healthy weight, and my calf muscles stayed the same, i suppose its somthing we will have to learn to love :)
