Answer 1

Get your thyroid checked.

Answer 2

This sounds a little weird. and I would ask you if you are absolutely sure that you are eating less and burning more.

not saying that you would lie but most people don't have any ideal how much food and calories they consume on a daily basis. When asked people often report that they eat less than they actually do.
I would suggest keeping a log of what you ate for the day and the amount of calories.

as for working out.
did you know that muscle weights more than fat. and that you could build muscle then after periods of inactivity the muscle will turn into fat. This can be daunting and frustrating.
I would suggest fat/cardio workout. one that drops fats and increases the heart rate to burn calories. I would also do something every day. walk-Mon, run Tuesday, cardio-weds, lift weights Thursday, strength Friday...lol take the weekend off you deserve it.

and if that fails-who cares. you have tried your damn est and that's all that matters. Remember this is your body, some people are built a certain way and some people are not. Not everyone was meant to be thin. Love your self, be healthy-eat healthy but don't feel bad if you are not a size zero. The key is to be HAPPY and healthy

Answer 3

When was the last time you had your thyroid checked? It's a simple test that doctors should do with every physical or weight problem. It is becoming common in this country with women over a certain age.

Also, take a look at what you drink too; no sodas (holds on to fat and elevates sugar level), limit alcohol (very fattening), drink pure water--at least 8 glasses a day, especially before and after a work out.

Answer 4

Start running 30 minutes 3 times a week. And when you say you only eat 3 time a day.. what is your calorie intake.. For a male it should be no less then 1500 per day. Make sure you are getting alot of fruits and veggies. You need to exersize more then on a trampoline. Run and do situps. Sometimes it takes up to a month to lose weight.

Answer 5

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

Answer 6

Make sure that you are changing up you exercises. Lets say ever day you exercise all you do is run so for a while you will start to loose weight but after a while your body is so used to doing that you wont loose anymore weight so you have to do different things. And when you start something new don't go full out ease into it. GOOD LUCK :)

Answer 7

Remember nomatter what happens to treat your body with respect and don't starve it or overwork it with excersize. Have you tried a tan from a bottle? Most of them have minreal oils and moisterizers which make your skin glow, unlike the sun which wrinkles it and drys it out. Also theres cancer and permanant damage. I've found it a good idea to break a sweat at least once a day with excorsize and include a lot of fresh veggies and fruits, and lean meat without grease and crisco. Replace soda and energy drinks with minreal water and drink them when you feel hungry but know you've had enough to eat.
Also you can try visiting a nutritiononalist and getting a membership at the gym.

Answer 8

Hi,
try calculating ur body mass index ( BMI ) , here is the formula:
BMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches ) x ( Height in inches ) ) x 703
then see your results:
18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity
after you know that amount of fat in your body, you need to take a step and start following
some fat loss program , here's one that's off the charts , this program enables you to
lose 9 LBS, each 11 days, here's the link to that site , and i hope it helps http://overweight-doc.co.nr
, well i hope that u stay motivated as much as you can , and you will witness a transformation of a lifetime, well i hope that it helps.
Merry Xmas.

Answer 9

you need to see a doctor... I had a similar problem with losing weight and have had to take some pills as I have a metabolism issue, I train 3 times a week run every day and still no results, I saw my doctor and a month later I am seeing a huge difference.

Answer 11

I would go to your medical doctor for a physical. If everything is OK, try a personal trainer. I had that problem too but once I tried something different like working with a trainer, the weight came off so easily. I just needed to change my habits.
