I'm 160 pounds and trying to lose weight before my wedding next year? Help!?

Answer 1

It's very easy, just start eating less...that's all you have to do.
If you are 160 lb's then you should try to get about 2000 calories a day and no more!

Also start doing some cardio exercises 3-4 days a week that way you can tone your muscles while you lose the weight.

Running is a good cardio exercise or if thats not your thing, a satationary bike is good, or a stairmaster, hell just walking up the stairs in your home 25-35 times in a row is a great cardio workout.

It really just comes down to the amount of calories you are getting in a day, you don't even have to exercise to lose weight if you don't want to, it just helps a lot. So like I said if you don't want to exercise, just start getting 2000 calories a day and no more then that. If you aren't noticing any weight change after 2 weeks then lower it to 1800. But i'd say 1500 is as low as you'd want to go, though I don't usually recommend that people go below 1600-1700.

Just whatever you do, don't go on a starvation diet because they are very unhealthy and can lead to early heart disease.


If you have any questions about anything I said or any other questions, please don't hesitate to email me.

Answer 2

well you can start exercising... try 3 times the first week. then go for 4 times the next...keep going until you get to 5 or 6 times a week. DON'T forget to lift some weights, you don't have to get all built or any thing, just lift some weight for about 20 minutes, you burn fat and some calories, then do cardio for the least, 40 minutes. try changing your diet. you don't have to give up all your favorite foods, just eat half, with some fruit or vegetables. and Lots of water!!! if you do that, within a month, you would have lost 3 to 5 pound. doesn't sound like a lot? well that's because by exercising you are gaining muscle....muscle weighs more than fat. it replaces your fat. so go on try it... i lost 30 pounds that way. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

A couple of weeks ago I heard about a weight loss drug called phentermine 37.5mg from a girl who lost about 25 pounds in 2 months using it. Her cousin lost about 50 pounds in 3 months using phentermine 37.5mg.

Naturally I was interested in phentermine 37.5 mg and began to do some research on it. After my research I decided to give it a try. My goal is to lose about 25-30 pounds.

I ordered my phentermine (37.5 mg) on 4/19/07 from a website called US-Pills.com. I received my order in 6 days, 4/25/07. They do have express shipping if you want to receive your order sooner. I paid $199.00 for 90 pills, which is a 3 month supply. I know that sounds expensive, but I checked NUMEROUS web sites and this site seemed to have the best prices and also seemed to be a legit site. If you can get a prescription from your doctor it would be a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, my doctor refused to provide me a prescription because she said I was not obese and she only will prescribe phentermine to obese patients.

I've been taking my phentermine (37.5 mg) since 4/26/07 and I can tell already that it's working!! Here are some of my results so far. I feel like I'm melting. My closes are fitting loser and when I look at myself in the mirror after I get out of the shower I look smaller.

My phentermine came with instructions, which instructed me to take 1 pill per day in the morning 30 minutes prior to breakfast. I take my pill as soon as I get up and go to the gym about 30 minutes later. I feel so energized and have the best workouts then I have had in a long time. I am able to work out longer and harder. I eat my breakfast when I get home from the gym. I'm not hungry all day and have no cravings for sweets or bad foods like I normally would before I started using phentermine. Because I no longer have the bad cravings I eat healthy small meals throughout the day. Since I'm not hungry anymore, I'm probably consuming about 800-1000 calories per day.

The only side effect I have experienced so far is dry mouth. The dry mouth causes me to drink a ton of water, which is great anyway for weight loss success. I'm now drinking about 80 ounces of water a day. Before phentermine I had to force myself to drink water and only drunk about 20-30 ounces a day.

I'm very excited about this product. I believe I finally found something that will help me reach my weight loss goal.

So far, in 7 days I have lost 7 pounds!!!!!!!

I hope this was helpful to you. Good luck!!

Answer 4

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself with a little treat once in a while:)

Answer 5

do not eat lots of junk food, also for snacks eat fruits and veggitables. If you are a morning person, I would suggest taking a 30 min. walk in the morning, and if you an evening person, take a 30 min. walk before or after dinner. I would not suggest eating food from packets that you microwave, those have a lot of preservatives which are not good for you at all
