1. Hello, I was in a similar situation not too long ago. I needed to lose some weight for the summer. I tried almost every weight loss program under the sun, and nothing seemed to work. Out of frustration one day I was searching on google. Out of my frustration came the greatest day of my life. I found a website that gave an honest review of different weight loss programs. Their number one product claimed I could lose 21 pounds in 28 days. Naturally I was a little skeptical, but I was also desperate. I purchased the program (around $70 something) and dove right in. Of course, I did not lose 21 pounds in the first 28 days. But, I did lose 18 pounds in the first 28 days. In my opinion, this program was totally worth it. Because it actually gives great results, and is not too expensive. This website has ended all of my frustrations and desperation when it comes to losing weight. Be sure to check it out now. http://tiny-url.org/?5rbPCd Good Luck, -Mary
2. Ok I'm not to experienced in this but circuit training really helps me try going for a run in the morning if you have the time and just cut back on foods you don't need like crisps or biscuits I know it sounds to obvious but you will see the difference. Hope this was of some help!!! xx
3. You need a fitness program. My trainer can help you and it is totally free. Email him and will help you put a customized program together. Go to this blog and read from the beginning. It will help you. If you have any questions ask Coach A he can really help you. http://coachtu.wordpress.com/
4. The faster you lose weight, the less likely you are to keep it off. If you lose weight to quickly your metabolism slows down and it becomes harder and harder to lose weight. I read somewhere that you should never try to lose more than two pounds a week. This means that if you want to lose 100 lbs it will take an entire year of commitment. You might be able to lose it a little faster. The main thing is you have to be ok with the fact that it is going to take a while, and still be able to enjoy life while you are in the process of losing weight http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080708143155AA0qOqD&pa=FYd1D2bwHTHzJb9jEeg8QO8k33oevU.FdT1CA3P.LpD1lQ--&paid=asked&msgr_status=
5. go to this site: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm it will tell you how many calories you need to intake in order to maintain, lose, or "extreme lose" weight. create a meal plan based on that number and exercise for at least 30 mins five days a week. before you know it people will be complimenting you on your weight loss.
6. Losing this amount of weight will take some time. Don't do it too quickly, or you won't keep it off. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet may be good for you. It is very easy to follow, and is healthy. So, you won't be losing weight the unhealthy way-with diet pills, prepackaged foods, etc. You will be eating 4 times a day, and you will be eating foods such as chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy, nuts, beans, etc. You can lose up to 9lbs every 11 days, but most people lose about 4-6 lbs every 11 days. They average about 10-15 lbs lost a month. This diet is based on "calorie-shifting". You have to eat the right "fat burning compatible foods" at the right times and in the right cycles. This will maximize your metabolism and enable your body to burn calories and fat constantly. Therefore, you will lose weight quickly. All you have to do with this diet is choose your favorite foods from a list. Then the "diet generator" creates an 11 day menu for you, based on these foods. You follow the menu for 11 days, and then you get 3 cheat days to eat whatever you want. Then, you create another 11 day menu. I personally know quite a few people who have lost weight on this diet and kept it off. Good luck! http://www.fatlossforidiotsplan.com
7. my husband gained alot of weight after quitting smoking . he has found "The fast way " doesn't work . you should safely be able to loose 2 lbs a week on a restricted calorie diet . if you do it slow but sure , the pounds have a better chance of staying off . good luck and have a good day . oh , and he also goes on an evening brisk walk , everyday and it has worked for him .
8. First off, the weight went on slowly, so the best way to take it off is slowly as well. Also, there is no one perfect way to lose weight but there are some basic concepts. 1. Either Portion control or calorie count. Diets like Nutrisystems and so on are big into portion control but you eat pretty much what you want (within limits). Diets like Weight Watchers often work with calorie counting or a similar point system. Either can work but it will depend more on what will work for you. 2. Just read that keeping a log of what you eat every day typically will double your weight loss because you are more aware of what is going in your mouth over the course of a day. 3. Do Not drink diet sodas or use anything with artificial sweetener. Research has found that along with being dangerious to ingest these products actually prevent weight loss because they fool your body into thinking that it has taken in less calories than what it actually has taken in and so your body goes into storage mode. A resonable replacement for sweeteners is a natural product named Stevia but it comes in differnt forms so you would need to figure out which works best for you. 4. Drink Water - no calories, fills you up and is something your bodies needs. About 8 - 8oz glasses a day. 5. You have to exercise but that does not mean that you have to go to a gym. Roller Skatting, Dancing and a number of other activities can provide different levels of exercise find something you find fun to do. Or join a gym. At the gym you will want to do both Cardio work outs (tread mill, bike and so on) AND a weigth lifting routine. Even a light weight lifting routine will help. Building muscle burns fat. 6. Eat about 5 or 6 times a day but SMALL meals. Don't eat any meal larger than your closed fist. 7. When eating out (other than fast food) if you ask many resturants will bring half of your meal in a go box. Then only eat half the meal. 8. About once a week don't worry about your diet. If you are continually forcing yourself to watch what you eat with no break, eventually you will start cheating and your diet will break down. Allow yourself a scheduled break from the diet and if you go back up a pound don't stress about it, just buckle down and take it back off. 9. This really depends on your emotions but if you can handle the ups and downs consider weighing yourself daily. That way you know exactly where you stand. But is must be at the same time and using the same scale otherwise the results may be wrong. 10. Try to find a partner to lose weight at the same time and agree to help each other without judgement.
9. Firstly you can lose as much weight as you want in a short time period, however, you will gain it back. I am speaking from experience from someone who has been there done that with fad diets. There is the obvious liposuction, however, the recovery time is 3 – 6 months and it sounds as though that you’re in a rush to lose the weight for possibly an event with no downtime to spare. I am and have been on weight watchers for 2 years and lost 25 lbs. It was a slow and steady race, however, I haven’t gained the weight back ‘cause my diet has been stabilized and so was the weight loss from 0.5 – 1 lb/week. Remember the weight gain didn’t happen overnight, it happened slowly over time, the same is with proper healthy weight loss, you can’t have/perform miracles over night. These are some things that I do. 1.Drink lots of water as it kept me full longer. 2.Used an appetite suppressant like hoodie to make sure I don’t go over my daily calorie intake. 3.Did cardio and toning 3 – 4 times a week. 4.Made meal and recipe modifications as I cooked. 5.When I dined out, I made sure that I wasn’t shy about asking the kitchen to make modifications like dressing/sauce on the side, half portion ordered the kids meal etc. 6.Brushing teeth after every meal, the mint acts like an appetite suppressant and without the taste in your mouth, you can easily forget about the food. 7.Never drank diet cola, the aspartame actually made me crave food more for some reason. 8.At work I take a break before lunch and either take the stairs in the building or just general toning without weights. We have a gym at work so I do about 15 minutes of weights which not only gets my blood flowing but releases tension from a**hole customers. 9.Bought snacks in bulk (to save money) and properly measured what a cup or portion was and made individual baggies. There are some snacks on the market that are 100 calorie snacks, however, I find those to be too expensive than just buying in bulk and separating the portions yourself. Also by physically separating them yourself, you get an idea of what a portion is supposed to be and you learn to properly eye ball correct portions.
