  1. im not the greatest person to give exercise advice.. all i can say is what helped me lose weight is simply cut out the fattening foods for a bit.. i stopped drinking soda stopped eating chips, cake, doughnuts or whatever that stuff usually helps u lose weight when u dont eat it.. good luck
  2. I usually takes dumps and it goes away so take a big one and then youl be str8
  3. Don't stop eating all together. Make sure you eat 3 or 4 small meals a day. Exercise for at least an hour a day. I used to eat small meals and walk 4 miles a day, plus I rode an exercise bike for 5 miles.
  4. do not eat like a fat person
  5. I am sorry but I am going to say the same you have heard before, you can not lose weight fast and keep it off. Your best start is to plan weekly monitoring of your weight or if as you said you don't won't to get on the scales then find a pair of pants that you want to fit into and aim at that for 6 - 8 weeks time, but only 1-2 sizes down (remember being realistic will get you there eventually). You need to begin to watch what you put in your mouth every day, start with a food diary and you will be surprised how much you do eat. Just be sensible and don't eat anyhting you know has a lot of fat or sugars in it. If you are having cravings, try and limit yourself to one or two treats per week. You must combine exercise 3 - 4 days a week with the eating plan. Begin with walking, swimming, dancing or playing an enjoyable sport with friends. The more you enjoy what youare doing teh more chance you have of cintinuing with it and maybe even wanting to do it more than 3 - 4 times a week. I would love to know how you go with this, just be patient.
  6. Try these 1) Eat 5 to 6 times a day. 2) Eat lots of veggies, lean meat and complex carbs (low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein.) 3) Reduce sugar intake and simple carbs. They make you hungry fast.Cut junk food . 4) Take 2 to 3 cups of low fat milk, cheese, yoghurt. 5) Do an exercise that you like. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and an hour brisk walk every weekday morning. And I am still at 108 lbs since I lost 31 lbs one year ago.

  7. Try this one to lose 20 pounds quick Start your fitness plan with a good warm up. A warm up will increase your core body temperature and get you to break a sweat. After you are warmed up you can continue your cardio workout or you can begin your resistance fitness plan. Make sure you have a padded bench of some kind to use for the sitting and lying exercises. First, you will focus on the large muscle groups then progress to smaller ones. This fitness plan will involve a combination of exercises using dumbbells or your own body weight. Here is an example of a good fitness plan. SQUATS 3 sets/25 reps Start with legs wider than hip width, toes slightly turned out. Squat down until your upper legs are parallel to the floor. Keep you back as upright as possible with abdominals engaged. LUNGES 3sets/15 reps Start with a long stride keeping the front knee directly over the ankle when at the bottom of the lunge position. Make sure to pull up with the front leg without any push off of from the back foot. Perform the lunges in a walking manner. MODIFIED/FULL PUSH UPS 3sets/10-15 reps Begin with a version of the push up that is appropriate to your strength level. You want a diagonal line from shoulders to knees or shoulders to feet (depending on which form of push up you do). Only attempt the number of reps that you can complete with perfect form. DUMBELL PULLOVER 3 sets/10-15 reps Lie on your back. Hold the dumbbell with your hands overlapped and facing the ceiling. Keep your arms straight and take the weight overhead and return it back over your chest. ONE ARM ROW 3 sets/10 reps Stabilize your knee and one hand on the bench with the working arm hanging straight down. Pull the weight up in a rowing motion toward the side of the body. LATERAL RAISE 3 sets/10 reps With weights in hands and arms at the sides, raise your arms out to the sides up to shoulder height and back down. Be careful not to shrug the shoulders. BICEP CURLS 3 sets/10 reps With arms at sides palms facing up, flex elbow joint to bring weight up toward shoulders and return to full extension to complete each rep. TRICEP DIPS 3 sets/10 reps Start sitting on a bench perpendicular to it with hands on the edge of the bench. Straighten arms and bring hips just off the bench and bend the elbows to lower body down. Straighten your arms to bring body back to the start position. This can be done with bent knees to modify the movement. ABDOMINAL CRUNCHES 5 sets/20 reps There are many variations of the crunch and you can change up the positions frequently. A basic version is lying on your with back legs bent, feet on the floor, and your arms reaching at your sides. Flex the spine to crunch up and keep your chin tucked in toward your chest with about a golf ball size space between chin and chest. Keep your eyes focused on the top of your thighs. Crunch up keeping the lower back in contact with the floor and always keep the abdominals engaged to protect the back and neck. This is a basic fitness plan that can be done in the gym or at home. You should start with light weights and slowly increase the resistance after you have completed the fitness plan several times without developing muscle soreness. In order to make it more challenging after several workouts you can either pick up the pace between exercises, add reps or increase the weight. Never make all three modifications in the same workout. This fitness plan can be done 3 to 4 times per week always leaving at least 48 hours for proper muscle recovery. By adding additional cardiovascular exercise you will be getting in a very well rounded workout. http://www.fitnessdiet.info/fitnessplan.php
