Help! I need to lose weight!?

Question

I'm 5'10 and 190 pounds...I want to lose at least 30 pounds by March or April and want to increase my endurance and metabolism...how can I do this? Please Help!!:)

Answer 1

Walk everday, alos drink plenty of milk and water. Take a daily vitamin. Eat meals consisting of one serving of meat, twon vegetables, limit breads and cheeses or any heavy cream. Try eggs and orange juice for breakfast. A light lunch. Salads and fruits. Absolutely no sodas, no fast food, and no chips or processed meats. When cooking dinner avoid pre-cooked meals and try to use fresh or frozen vegetables in place of boxed and canned foods.

Answer 2

Losing weight first starts with being happy with yourself and loving *YOU* on the inside. Try everyday to smile and laugh, LAUGHING is super helpful. It seems weird but it really does help! =) Try to follow a 1600 calorie diet.
It's best to have 5 meals a day that way you don't get to hungry because that leads to over eating.
Here is a couple ideas to help you get started:

Breakfast:
Oatmeal and a piece of wheat toast w/ 2tsp. trans free margarine. -OR- Strawberry Banana Smoothie (In a blender process until smooth, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, and 1 or 2 ice3 cubes. You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit.

Lunch:
1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty. The meat is delicious.

Dinner: 1 piece Chicken Breast with 2 side dishes: 1 cup steamed veggies, 1 sweet potato, 3/4 cup corn, 3/4 cup butternut squash, etc.

Dessert:
Light Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt:
3/4 cup with no more than 110 calories per 1/2 cup topped with tablespoon chocalate syrup.

Snacks:
Steamed Veggies, fruit, any nuts (these are great protein),
my personal favorite snack is Light and Fit 60 calorie yogurt cup with a 100 calorie Granola Bar. (I cruch up the Granola Bar and put it inside of my yogurt.)
Also there are alot of great ideas if you go to fast food for example....

Subway :(THE BEST CHOICE)
You can have any of the under 6 grams of fat sandwiches! They're delicious just No MAyo. My favorite is Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I like to get a foot long and have a 6' for lunch and a 6' for dinner.

Also make sure you do 30 minutes of excercise 5 days a week. I like to walk to the store and back instead of drive =)

This was just some ideas to help you on your way.

Also its great to drink one glass of water before eating. Water is very important! It takes your body 30 minutes to tell your brain you're full so sometimes after you eat a small meal wait 30 minutes to see if you are still hungry or not.


GOOD LUCK!!! I know you can do it!

Answer 3

If you want to do this you have to be dicisciplined. Cardio for 30 minutes a day, alternate cycling, with running, the eliptical machine, or swimming. After that just work on your arms monday, wednesday, and fridays, and on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays work out your legs. Dont work every part of the body in one day, it tires the body out. You still have sunday for rest but I would do this routine...at least 30 minutes cardio, and 30 minutes tonning muscles. 1hour a day for 5-6 days a week. For exercise ideas go to fitnessmagazine.com. I love that site.

Answer 4

start out by eating healthy, lean foods like veggies, fruit, whole wheat, and in moderate portions. and find a physical activity you can participate in 3 or more times a week, or just run in the morning for about 10 min.. it makes you full of energy for the rest of the day. but to lose 30 pounds by then you have to start now and stick to it! whatever you do don't do a fad diet cause you'll just gain it back by february or so

Answer 5

Give up soda pop. Instead drink ice tea with sweetener or flavored water. You have to have something for breakfast, raisin bran or a bannana and wheat toast. Have a nice lunch and for dinner, before 6pm, have a chef salad or chicken strip salad. You dont have to jog or run just go for a walk. Get up and move around start slow and work towards a goal. Walk one or two blocks for a week, next week do three or four, you'll get there

Answer 6

Cut out excessive eating. Still, eat what you want but have PORTION CONTROL. That's the way I lost 20 pounds. I didn't deprive myself ever. E.g., instead of having a whole slice of cake, I'd have 2 or 3 bites, that's it. So, I never actually felt like I was on a diet b/c I didn't crave what I would have been missing if I were on a "diet".

Answer 7

According to Kevin Trudeau if you eat organic foods, no sugar (use natural honey), drink distilled or mineral water every morning, and build muscle because muscle burns more fat than running or swimming. You will lose wieght. Eat when your hungry. Don't starve yourself and don't eat two meals or less a day. Good luck

Answer 8

most are gonna say diet and exercise., there right that's the best way, watch what you eat.. drink lots of water to fill up.. eat more better healthy foods etc etc and or course going for walks and exercising is always a plus

Answer 9

work out at least 30 minutes daily

Answer 10

eat less and run alot its simple....and eat right...not late snacks and only eat up to 1000 cals or lower...
