Answer 1

Have you thought of getting your thyroid checked? A hypoactive thyroid could be causing you to gain a little extra weight.

But on the flip side you may be overeating just a little bit. Your Basal Metabolic Weight (BMW) is 1655.25 calories based on your age, weight, gender, and height. BMW is the calories you would burn if laying in bed all day. What you want to do is aim for those calories or be slightly below to burn more weight and incorporate exercise (preferably aerobic 1 hr a day). You probably don't want to bulk up just yet with weights. Good luck!

Something that I have found to work is making sure you eat breakfast. I thought the same thing of myself up until January of this year and I started eating meals regularly and making sure that I did not eat after 7ish. In the first week I lost 7lbs. Also there is a website that you can go to called mypyramid.gov where you can enter your weight and height and it will show you the amount of each food group that you should eat each day and the number of calories that you should consume. This has worked for me so far and it's not a strict diet that you have to follow and if you use mypyramid.gov it is healthy and good for your body as well. Wish you the best of luck!

If you think you have a slow metabolism you should get it checked. Usually people say this, but don't really suffer from a very slow metabolism. You're too young to have a slow metabolism. I know, I used to fit in this category. I thought I had a slow metabolism, but really, I just wasn't going about it the right way.

You need to learn to do cardio. To lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you take in. Also, try cutting out extra calories. Eat more fruits and veggies and fiber rich foods. Cut out simple carbs, sugars, and junk food. It takes while to lose weight, so be patient.

I found a great way to lose weight fast and keep it off. I do body cleansing. I lost 13 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. Cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurites come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives etc. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To shrink the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow.

Answer 5

Do cardio exercise. That's the best way. If you are out of shape start with 15 min. then when you feel like it go up to 30 and so on. When your doing cardio 45 min. a day you will drop the weight. You don't even have to change your eating habits. Also eat six meals a day. Small, nutrient rich mini meals. That will make your metabolism faster.

Answer 7

Eat a balanced diet...3 meals including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat small portions of meat 3 to 4 oz. for dinner and/or lunch. Meat can be prepared by baking, broiling, roasting, grilling.....just no frying. Avoid fast food at all costs. Prepare home cooked meals...they are much heathier and you control the fat and calories. Make sure to have at least two healthy snacks per day....one mid-morning, one mid-afternoon. Try not to eat after 7:00 pm. The snacks will help keep your metabolism going.

Answer 9

Have your thyroid checked. The thyroid regulates the metabolism. If it is sluggish, you can take synthroid to help.

If you are looking for an easy detox, The Republic of Tea has "Get Clean" which works well, is natural and gentle.

Answer 10

Have your Thyroid checked, a simple blood test, to be sure it is not underactive.
