Answer 2

I had a goal weight of 220 lbs for a very long time. I could never quite get there, I could get to 224 or 223 but nothing seemed to work for me.

I'm a runner and I had always wanted to run a marathon. It was on my someday list but one day I got a wakeup call in the form of a minor heart problem so I decided that if I was going to do it, I better get after it.

About half way thru my marathon training, doing about 30 - 35 miles a week, I stepped on the scale and voila', 218. I almost passed out, I couldn't believe it. I was eating a lot, not excessive but enough to fuel my running, but the weight was just melting off me. My belly literally just disappeared and the love handles I've had to 20 years just melted.

Anyway, this might not be possible for you but it worked for me. Besides, my body went from large and pudgy to lean and hard, people would actually tell me I looked too skinny (I'm really tall).

If you want to try this, go to this site http://www.coolrunning.com and look up the training plans. Follow a decent schedule and don't over do it.

Good luck.

Hi, I've been helping people stay healthy for a bit more than two decades (20 years) and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance. If you want to lose weight in a healthy manner, keep the following in mind:

1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.

2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Also remember that you may need supplements to help things along.

3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.

4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).

5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.

6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).

7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay.

8) Lastly, remember that you're doing a WONDERFUL thing for your body.

Keep up the good work. I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.

As for what to take, that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level. If you want to learn more about what you might want to take you can visit my site (below).

Any questions, don't hesitate to write and ask.

Answer 4

The best thing you can do is make a lifestyle change that you can stick with. Don't have unrealistic (and unhealthy) expectations about losing it fast. That way, it's just retraining yourself and it will become an easy habit. The weight will come off. Stop eating junk food, empty carbs, and sugar. Get plenty of lean protein in your diet. Take up walking or any exercise that appeals to you. For me, I get my exercise first thing in the morning. If I put it off until later, I tend to procrastinate and get lazy! Also, getting enough sleep is important. For some reason, lack of sleep promotes being heavier.

Answer 5

eat properly,Low GI foods. especially breakfast other wise you will turn into a hoover (i know i do!) You are supposed to take in 1200 calories per day, approx 400cals per meal. Don't skimp cos your body will just hold onto the fat! Find and activity you enjoy doing as you will be more inclined to do it, I've taken up cycling everywhere, work shops etc, I love it! i could never get the hang of aerobics (too boring). Boxersice classes where fun and very intense.

Get rid of unrealistic expectations. you have probably taken a long time putting on the weight , it won't fall off in two weeks! work on 1 pound a week, realistic and achievable by anybody!

Answer 6

BODY FLEX www.bodyflex.com It's a breathing technique. The basic premise is,

You've heard it takes 20 minutes of excercise before your body is in an aerobic state and starts burning fat. Body flex breathing does that in 10 seconds! It works!
I weighed 215 and now I am 145. I didn't change my eating habits much. I love coke cola!

This wasn't part of the program but I added this myself. NO second helpings of anything. This is my personal addition, this is not a 'body flex' suggestion or requirement. I
It's $25.00 What have you got to loose? A pizza could cost you $25. bucks!

I will be looking for your response in a month or two when you want to THANK me for telling you about this easy.. program!

Answer 8

Try Carol Vordeman's Detox - it's disgusting but I lost half stone in 2 weeks. Exercise slowly at first and then build yourself up otherwise if you go hell for leather you'll put too much strain on your heart, but whatever you do, be happy.

Answer 9

i'd take up running and pick a race to do ... something local like a 5k... once you start training for that then you will see the weight start to drop... also remember the 80/20 law... eat healthy 80% or more of the time but allow yourself something you crave in smaller portions...

Answer 10

remove all your sugar intake as well as your.....
white breads whole wheat is ok no pastas unless its whole wheat pasta
no sodas just diet ones
water lots of it get your body use to hydration
walking at least 20 to 30 miniuts a day ( time flys when you walk )
check the sides of food boxes and packages for trans-fat, SUGAR, and sodium .
And last try to have your meals at set times and no eating in the car.

good luck
