How long will it take to notice a difference in my weight?

I am an otherwise healthy 30 year old mother of 2. I have been eating around 1200 calories for 7 days now and just started working out at the YMCA. I go 3-4 times per week, doing lots of cardio on the EFX and treadmill. I just had a hysterectomy, so I can''t really do a whole lot more than just those two pieces of machinery. 2 more weeks, and I''m released 100%. I just wondered for those of you out there who know, how long should it take me to start noticing a change in my body and/or change on the scale? Also -what kind of workout routine works best for someone trying to lose about 50 pounds? Most of my weight is in my belly. I''m tired of getting asked how far along I am! I know everyone is different, but just would like a general idea of everyone who responds. Thanks for reading!

Three Reasons Why You Should Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
This months diet is next months body. What you eat in private you wear in public. That''s what I tell myself. Give it some time. It''s kind of like a delayed reaction. Remember give it:
4 weeks for you to notice
8 weeks for family and friends to notice
12 weeks for the world to notice

• Be realistic in your expectations. Ligaments are severed during hysterectomy, which can cause the pelvis to widen and the rib cage to settle a bit lower. Diet and exercise won''t help that. But you will feel and look better if you eat healthily and keep your body moving. Don''t pull your stomach in, and don''t tuck your butt. You may be doing these things in an effort not to look pregnant. But you are compromising the support for the remaining organs, which used to rely on the round ligaments of the uterus for support. Instead, relax the belly and pull your chest up strongly for a nice stretch. By doing this you will eventually restore a good lower lumbar curve, which will help your hips and spine remain healthy through the years. This will also take organ pressure off the vagina and help delay or prevent the prolapsing of other organs. Be good to yourself!

Is it healthy to lose 15 lbs in 3 weeks?

I became fairly active person and ate healthy and I am 15 years old. Is this normal? Will I be skinny when I grow older and continue this? Or do you think I will gain weight?

I lost 15 lbs and gained muscle mass as I went on. I now weigh ~120-125 lbs.

Recommanded Answer:
Wow well done! This is good, but not really normal. I ask that you do not starve yourself because that is very unhealthy but get all your necessary food groups everyday and drink mostly water. Exercise is key as well because you sweat all the oil and other garbage that gets in. I am expecting when you reach around 30 you will start to gain more weight. This is normal because you really do not need to please anyone with your body and at this time you will get bore of working out.

How much weight can I lose in 5 months?

If I eat healthy food and only eat junk food once a day for a dessert and exercise 2 times a day and dance around for about 1-2 hrs everyday?

Best Exercise to Lose Weight For You

Recommanded Answer:
With exercise and the right diet, you could lose 10 lbs every month. 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.

Fast weight loss advice (for valentines day); or am I just crazy?

I'm a 20 year old girl. 5 feet and 3.5 inches tall. I currently weigh 103lbs. size 1 pants, SM shirts.

I eat a fairly low fat diet, vegetarian. I get adequate protein and fiber, take vitamins, etc. also make a point of doing at least 100 sit-ups, 20 push-ups, 25 squats, and 25-50 heel-raisers (on the stairs) a day. I hula hoop with a 2 lb. weighted hoop for about 1 hour, sometimes 1.5 hours, on average 3 times a week.

I don't know what else to do, but I have a dress that I want to wear on Valentines Day, and would like to be back down to 98 lbs by then. that way the dress fits properly.

it's my boyfriend and I's 4th valentines day together, and I really wanted to make it special, and I'd be so much more confident being able to fit in my new dress.

what more can I do to lose that last 5 lbs by the 14th?! please help! I'm slightly desperate! thanks for taking the time to read all that. :)

Fastest Way to Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
That is only 12 days from now. With your size, the MOST you are going to be able to lose in real body weight per week is 1-2 pounds. You could do some stupid water fast or starvation diet for a couple weeks, but you will just lose water weight -- nothing noticeable.

Instead, just eat super clean over the next two weeks so that you prevent bloating. I can't imagine those 5 pounds would make THAT big of a difference in the dress, but even if you could lose 1-3 pounds (more realistic), that would be better than nothing right? Just figure out your bmr, drop your intake. You should have around 1200-1400 calories a day probably.

Is there anything to help gain healthy weight?

Okay, so I'm 6ft 125 pounds at the moment because 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Mono, which makes you lose up to 10 pounds. My weight is fluctuating between 125 to 126 to 127 because I normally used to weigh around 130-132 pounds. My doctor said I'd gain my weight back and it has been 2 weeks going on 3 and I still weigh like crap.. I also have a fast metabolism and it has always been hard for me to gain weight as it is.
It doesn't matter how many times I stuff my face with food or anything and I just don't gain weight. I'm drinking this stuff called Carnation Breakfast that has a crap ton of vitamins and minerals in it and supposedly it's supposed to make you gain weight and it isn't doing anything for me.
I was curious if there is any healthy drinks or anything out there I can take THAT'S HEALTHY that will help me gain. I'm sick and tired of seeing all these products for obese people to lose weight and nothing for skinny people to gain it.
Thanks.
I was given Ensure Plus at the hospital when I was being watched over with Mono. I did see that it has a lot of protein to help you gain weight.
How many times a day can I drink it?

• The best way to gain weight is not just merely by eating, but pairing an even higher diet with proper exercise and sleep. This is because when you do gain muscle mass, it will help to stabilize your weight. Mainly, the key issue is that your calorie input is not higher than your calorie output, so an increase about 200kcal will not help you gain the weight you need. What you need is a diet that increases your calorie intake by 500kcal each day.
  
  In order to eat a proper high calorie diet, you must make sure that you are eating enough meals rather than eating a lot in a single meal. That means eating as many as 6 meals a day which can be a hard thing to achieve. Nonetheless, what you can do is focus on adding more carbs into your normal meals with more pasta, noodles, rice, biscuits and bread. One little tip I did was to drink 500ml of milk 3 times a day in between my 3 high carb meals to give me the protein I need to gain weight.
  
  As for your sleep, you need to clock the right amount of sleep to stay alert and help repair your muscles. Any negligence will cause your body to burn more calories and destroy hard trained muscle mass. I calculated the amount of sleep by falling asleep and waking up all by myself without the aid of an alarm clock or other distractions.
  
  As for your workout, you need to do a heavy weight workout to get your body used to the stress of gaining weight and help you to gain muscles easily. One way to do that is via the workout at http://gohforth.com. I used it for many years and still stand by it for my clients at the gym.

what are some easy, healthy ways to lose weight fast?

Okay well im going to college in 8 months,and i really need some weight loss results fast. Im not going to put my weight out there but it ranges from 200-300 and i REALLY need some help! Im 17 and im sick of this weight holding me back from the things i love. Dance, running and being in pictures! :/ Please if you have any answers i would prefer great dance workouts if possible!!

Best Exercise to Lose Weight For You

Recommanded Answer:
Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

One of the healthiest weight loss diets is the DASH diet.

The healthy DASH diet can help you lose weight safely and effectively, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

You can see further details in a web search for "dash diet" + "lose weight".

• There is no way to lose weight FAST that isn't possibly dangerous. Really the best thing you can do is eat right and workout. I'm in my second year of college and I know exactly what you're going through. I don't drink, and I STILL gained the "freshman 15" and even more my first year. Campus food is, for the most part, not very healthy for you. I would stick to eating healthy. What I try to do is eat a salad at least 4 times a week, maybe more, and instead of getting burgers I get turkey or veggi burgers. Cut out things like cheese as much as possible, because it's basically entirely fat which you don't need. If you really get a craving for something salty, try getting just plain potato chips instead of all the funky flavors. Try not to drink juice or soda as often, or if you do get low cal or diet drinks. If you are someone that LOVES snacks, bring snacks from home that you know are better for you, rather than getting the unhealthy things served at school. Also, eat lots of veggis and fruit, and east less pasta and other carbs.
  I try to go to the gym at least 4 times a week, and I try to eat as best as I can (I know, it's hard.)
  But do this and you should not only lose weight but also feel really good about yourself!
• Dear Gabi,
  
  You can surely lose your weight in 8 months only. A healthy diet helps you to lose your weight and stay healthy but one of the biggest challenges to eating healthier is finding substitutions for existing foods in your diet. Here are some tips to make the transition easier:
  
  1.Use mustard instead of mayo on your sandwiches. You’ll get lots of flavor with much fewer calories and fat.
  
  2.Select whole wheat bread over white bread. Be sure to read the label to ensure you’re getting whole grains, not just colored white bread.
  
  3.Eat the white meat like chicken, which is lower in fat than dark meat, red meat. Animal fat is the number one dietary source of unhealthy saturated fat.
  
  4. Start using fish instead of high-fat cuts of meat.
  
  5.If you cook, then change your cooking methods. Bake, grill or boil your meals instead of frying. Use non-stick sprays—or better yet, non-stick pans—instead of oil.
  
  6.Drink more water. Slowly reduce the amount of soda you drink and replace it with herbal tea like green tea or water. Aim for eight cups of pure water each day.
  
  7.Don't drink your calories. Eat a whole orange instead of drinking a glass of juice, for example. Real food is usually more filling and more nutritious than juices, fruit drinks, and other high-calorie beverages.
  
  8.Gradually switch to skim milk. Milk commonly comes in four varieties: whole (4% fat), 2%, 1% and skim (0% fat). Gradually wean yourself from the higher-fat varieties to the lower fat milk every two weeks. For example: continue drinking your normal 2% milk for two weeks, then move to 1% for two weeks, and then your palate will be ready for the consistency of skim milk.
  
  9.Switch from full-fat cheeses to reduced-fat or fat-free cheeses the same way you would with milk (see tip above).
  
  10.Order vegetables on the side instead of fries. Flavor them with lemon juice or herbs instead of butter.
  
  11.Snack on fruit and nuts instead of sugary treats. The fiber, protein and healthy fats in this combo will sustain you to your next meal and you won’t have the energy slump that comes after eating candy.
  
  12.Reduce your portion size. Most people will eat whatever amount of food is in front of them, so start putting your meals on smaller plates. You will be just as satisfied because your mind "sees" that you’re eating a full plate of food.
  
  You need to do the following also:
  
  1.First calculate and then limit your calorie intake commensurate with your BMI. Don't stop eating food, all what you need to do is to just cut down your meals into six and eat healthy food.
  2.Cut down your oil & fats intake.
  3.Cut down refined sugar intake.
  4.Avoid soda's like soft drinks.
  5.Go for a brisk walk everyday for atleast one hour/ Yoga/ Jumping rope/ Dance/ Aerobics.
  6.Drink hot water before your meals also take it in the morning with added honey & lemon juice, it may dissolve your fats inside.
  7.Drink Green tea , as it is good for health and may help you to lose your weight also.
  8.Avoid junk.
  9.Most of all, proper sleep of 6-8 hours is must.
  
  Remember --- Never starve yourself !!!
  When you fast, your body slows down your metabolism in order to conserve energy and survive the perceived famine.When you do go back to eating, your body wants to store up for the next starvation period, meaning that you are likely to gain weight even if you consume fewer calories.
  
  Cutting calories can help you shed pounds, not eating altogether or fasting for weight loss is an extremely dangerous technique. Not only can it do damage to your body, but it can lead to serious problems, such as eating disorders. If you truly want to lose weight, eating a healthy diet and exercising daily is a better idea than starving yourself to become thinner.
  
  Instead of skipping meals and depriving your body, eat foods that are low in calories, yet rich in nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These will help your body function while providing the calories your body needs.
  
  Eat healthy & Stay fit!!!

Could I lose weight by doing this?

I dont know exactly how to lose weight so i just started doing something. I've been eating right, and exercising daily. My exercise routine is I stretch, do 10 push ups, 15 sit ups and 100 jump ropes and rest and then repeat this 4 more times, it usually takes 45 mins.

Tips on How to Lose Weight Fast for the New Year

Recommanded Answer:
I've been taught that if you want to loose weight and get fit, then you need to use the FITT principle.
F - Frequency - How many time you do it (e.g 4 reps, 5 reps)
I - Intensity - By how much you increase your heart rate (if it starts as 70, then getting it to 140 is raising by 50%)
T - Time - How long you do it
T - Type - Interval training, fartlek, continuous, cicuit training (this just means to vary the stuff you do)
so if you want to loose weight, then you need to increase on of these parts of excercise every half-week or so. So if you want, in a few days you can increase the intensity e.g skip faster, do harder push ups, or add more cardio. Then in the next few days you can increase the frequency, do more repetitions, in your case this would also increase the time. And in another few days you can change the type, search up some more excersizes and see what you like.

Do what you like and you will succeed! Good Luck!

• it will help but if you can do more reps in your set if you cant just work on doing more set
• Wow you are not working very hard, I could double those reps and do it in 30mins.
  Google interval training.
