My ideas? Try 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. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, 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.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Answer 3

Walk 4 miles each morning before work, watch out for the idiots. Come back home, have some crunch berries and a tall glass of milk. Go to work and take a light lunch. A tuna fish sandwich is a positive enrichment, avoid the Noid!

Answer 4

Don't get overly concerned about your weight. Think more about being healthy and looking good.

Burn more calories than you eat.

Cut your fat intake.

Eat three cups of fat free low cal yogurt a day (make sure it has live cultures in it).

Do 45-60 min. of aerobic exercise a day (preferably before you eat in the morning).

I lost 40 lbs in two months and have kept it off for two more months doing this. I also took my body fat % from 30% to 14%

Answer 5

simply,lower calorie intake and excersise more..this is a sure way of working because you will be burning off more calaries than you take in. Don't go below 1100, it really all depends on your weight and height, but a good healthy diet to lose weight should be between 1200-1600 cals a day (again, this all depends on your weight and height now). Woman need about 1800 calaries to maintain weight so lowering that will help. Also, the more you excersise the more you need to eat, so don't over do it.(but remember cardio is important to losing weight, id say 30-45 minutes 4-6 times a week, weights 3 times a week if you want to do them)
To do this the healthy way, instead of cutting back on meals, try eating healthier...it really really does work. for example, have chicken breast instead of beef. veggies instead of fries. a salad instead of a hamburger. all these choices will effect your calaries sooo much...and your health. also, i liek to use low fat and low cal products like salad dressing. the difference between regular ceasar and the fat free kind i use is this-80 cals per tbsp for the regular, and 25 for the fat free. it may not taste as great but i think it's pretty good and works for me. an even better choice is calarie wise italian, kraft, which is only 5 cals per tbsp. these choices all make differences!!every single choice you make. if you continue to eat healthy, watch portion sizes (one pieces of toast instead of 2) you will lose weight. Also, try switching from white to whole wheat if you already haven;t. not only is it better for you but it has more fibre, which makes you stay fuller longer.
here are some healthy choices that i enjoy, just to get some ideas for you.

-1/2 of a whole wheat english muffun w/1 tsp peanut butter and 1/2 a banana on top
-1 cup yogurt (fat free vanilla is my favorite)with berries mixed in (srawberries, rasp, blue's..whatever)
-salad with chicken, 2 tbsp croutons (dont over do it, but they're ok in moderation, or you can make your own with whole wheat bread)and lots of veggies, with low cal dressing
-low fat mozzerella cheese strings (60 cal each) as snacks
-veggies & low fat ranch for dipping
-mini popcorn bags, 100 cals each (smart choice)

those are just a few ideas, i don't know your taste, but I'm sure you get the idea! good luck.remember, the healthier you are while losing the weight, the more chances that it will stay off because you can live with that...if you crash diet, there is no way you can live with eating liek 500 cals a day forever right? so you wil gain it back. it may take a bit longer than you'd like the healthy wway, but its so much more worth it and you are less moody and happier. :)

oh and i forgot! No pop(soda!) or even juice....do you know how many calaries you ingest with drinks and dont even realize it?all i ever drink is water with lemon...sooo good for you

Answer 6

If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate, and plan your diet carefully. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx

Answer 7

if you are not for exercises, try drinking hot water and eat a lot of fruits like pamplemousses, ananas, oranges lemon and especially bananas will help you to be less hungry.

good luck!!

Healthy weight loss tips


* Take one pound at a time
Don’t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.

Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.

Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.


* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.

The same logic applies for losing weight.

* Stay off the scales
Don’t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.

If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.

* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
# Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.

* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.

* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.

* Reward yourself
# Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.

* Seek help if you need it
# A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.

* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.
