I need to lose more weight.?

Question

Ive been walking for over 4 months now. Ive dropped from a size 12 to a size 8 (in australia terms) in womens fashion. Im still not happy.. i still have a fat tummy and flabby arms.. I go to the gym everyday but it doesnt seem to help. Anyone suggest anything to help lose more?

Im doing this for myself (btw) and not for just "some guy"... i thought i should add that after reading my last comment. Im not happy with my body.

Answer 2

you need to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don't over 60 minutes at a time.

Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Good luck and stick at it.

I have lost 2 stones over the last year. I'm not bragging 'cause I'm still a fat bloke with a long way to go. Walking was not the answer for me as I damaged my knee and need it replaced by surgery now. I used to do a lot of walking and that kept me fit . . the Highlands of Scotland make walking all worthwhile unlike golf which is a waste of a good walk :-)

I just ate less.

Don't fret about it, I'll never be Brad Pitt and you will probably never be Angelina Jolie but who cares.

Life is for living, enjoy it

BTW a 12 to an 8 seems excellent . .well done

Answer 4

Try some Pilates, i've been doing it once a week for 5 months now and noticed a difference after jsut three weeks, its fab for toning up, stomach especially. There are tons opf dvds out there to buy on it but i would recommend going to a class first, just so you know the basics then do it from home.

Answer 5

i would suggest you do something that will tone your body, maybe pilates or use the eliptical machine, i bought one and it realy is my primary form of exercise and i love, it great for the butt and upper arms, and the thighs, and the only thing that will work for your tummy is cardio, i would suggest you do something more intense than walking. i'm in the USA and i have gone down from a size 12 .to 8. Keep up the good work

Top weight loss tips

Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.


* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

Answer 8

Try to work on the problem areas as well. Get you some weights to work the arms and take up belly dancing or something to work those abs....Good Luck!

Answer 9

Instead of walking, why don't you try running now? Obviously it is helping because you have gone down four sizes. Also, you could get a personal trainer, or try and change your diet.

Answer 10

Be careful, you may always feel incomplete and strive towards something that is not going to happen. Work on your self esteem and remember no one is perfect, everyone has flaws. People should accept you for who you are.

Answer 11

maybe it is not weight you have to lose but toning up you need to do. Ask a professional at the gym to set you a workout for toning not weightloss
