Answer 3

I have found the best and easiest way to lose weight is to cut out all carbs. I lost ten pounds in the first week of doing this.
Remember that when you build muscle it weighs more than fat. So if you are exercising during this diet and build some muscle while losing weight you may not notice a difference in weight. However you may start to notice a difference in your body.
Before and after pictures are a great to notice a difference.

I just started the Denise Austin Burn Fat Fast DVD. It has 2 20-minute workouts on it. Also a warm up and cool down part. One workout is conditioning and the other one is strengthening. It was only $10 at Walmart. It's a good workout. I really enjoy it. You may too.

Answer 5

Quit eating, get off the computer and start walking. You need to walk at least 3-5 miles a day and then do cardio at least 4 times a week for 45 minutes each time. Reduce calories, drink water, and eat smaller portions.

Answer 6

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

Answer 7

you should subscribe to shape. it has absolutely the best articles and has tips on how to get fit. also do cardio 4-6 times a week, strength train for 3 days, and also take walks. a lot of people answering your question have been right. walking is a great way to tone your legs and also have awesome calves. plus you can even work out your arms by carrying little weights while walking. you can fast walk to get your heart pumping and sweat. But for me, I like to run every other day. it gets your heart pumping and tones your legs, strengthens your heart, and makes your lungs stronger. This is my workout.
Monday- Run for 25-60 minutes,Walk for about 1& 1/2 hours
Tuesday- Strength Train for about a hour,Walk for about 1 and a half hours
Wednesday- Run, Walk
Thursday- Strenth Train for about an hour, walk
Friday- Run, Walk
Saturday- Free for today!
Sunday- Strength Train, Walk

Also, don't forget to eat right. try to limit your sweets, eat loads of fruits and veggies (they taste great), get some carbs in for fuel when you run (but not to much), drink milk (for strong bones), and drink alot of water. Water can flush out toxins and other bad stuff out of your body. even if you don't drink 8 glasses. still drink as much as you can.

I also am trying to get in shape before i go to classes again. So i understand and let me know results. i will tell you mine too!

Answer 8

Exercise alone won't make you lose the weight. You've also got to start eating better. I lost 17 lbs with the Curves diet and Tae-Bo. It only took 2-3 months and it was pretty easy (after the first week).

Answer 9

having struggled with a similar amount of weight, i found that the harder more intense exercise eg running on a treadmill/step machine, while burning more calories per hour, was just not sustainable for me. the best thing to do is walk a lot, and you can fit it around your daily life much more easily too. and it does tone up your legs and backside really well. good luck.

Answer 10

Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

Answer 11

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.
