Fast Weight Loss Women

What's for dinner tonight? I bet it's not Raisin Bran or Grape Nuts, but why not? Research shows that whole-grain cereal is an excellent source of vitamins and fiber, and is low in calories and saturated fat. But in America, cereal is supposed to be eaten for breakfast. It's not supposed to be eaten for dinner. We can't do that. Says who? The advertisers, that's who. What if Kelloggs launched a "dinner cereal?" and put a lot of marketing dollars behind the idea? Certainly this "dinner cereal" wouldn't be different from any other cereal; it would just give us "permission" to steer away from the norm and do things a little differently. And I guarantee there'd be a lot less overweight people in the world.

About 7 years ago I put my theory to the test. I ate cereal for dinner 5 nights a week for about 4 months, and I can honestly say that my stomach was flatter than ever, I never felt full or bloated and I got used to it pretty quickly. In fact, I found myself driving home from work excited about what cereal I was going to have that night, and I looked forward to it. I felt great.

Our overweight problem is largely cultural. Big, dinnertime meals are part of what we do even though research shows that consuming our largest meal at night is a big reason for our bulging waist-lines. Not long ago I read an interesting study about the timing of our eating. The researchers compared the eating habits of some community in Scotland and compared them to ours. This community was in a farming region and the people, on average, consumed the same amount of calories per day that we do, but they did not have a weight problem. The reason: Breakfast was their big meal. About two thirds of their daily calories were consumed in the morning and they ate sensible lunches and dinners. In our culture, we consume two thirds of our calories after 5:00 P.M. The body's metabolism slows down significantly after 6:00 P.M. and our bodies just aren't burning all of those calories effectively.

Timing is everything. Makes sense, doesn't it?

In our world, we do what seems normal, what everyone else is doing. A family sitting around the dinner table eating a bowl of Cheerios with sliced bananas sounds ludicrous. It just doesn't fit into our cultural schema. But obviously something has got to change in our country or we're just going to keep eating ourselves to death. Try the cereal plan for a few weeks and see if you lose weight. There is such a huge selection of good, healthy cereals out there so you don't have to worry about getting board. Dare to be different.

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
how much fat do bodybuilders cut back to to acheive fast weight loss? Women?
- ANSWER:
  It's an art. They cut back fat/carbs/protein according to their personal results and metabolism. Typically, you go 200-300 calories under your BMR for a period of 12 weeks. The 200-300 calories come from carbs mostly as fat is necessary to "lube" your joints. Only in the last 4 weeks do you remove fats from the diet. In fact, fats typically go UP during a "cutting" phase in an effort to avoid injuries.
  
  This is for both men and women.
QUESTION:
Best Weight Loss Program For Women To Make Your Stomach Disappear?
Does anyone know of the fastest weight loss system for women? I've heard alot about http://www.TrimYourFat.com - and I signed up for their free trial - but I figured I would see if anyone here has tried something that worked well.
- ANSWER:
  Try taking multivitamins every day. Because it gives your body the nutrients you don't or can't give it and because it keeps your body from eating at your muscle. I started a month ago after I found out I had been working out so hard that my body was eating at my muscle, and since then I have been able to lose over ten pounds. Every day I take it I notice a difference and if I don't take it I stay the same. My waistline shrunk 3 inches and my hipline shrunk 2 inches. I also have more energy to work out than before.
  I heard that some people never notice a difference in weight with it, but most people do, so try it for about a week and see.
QUESTION:
Has anyone found anything that promotes fast weight loss other then excercise alone?
There is a certain time in a womens life when she has extreme difficulty in losing weight. If you women know what I'm talking about and have found a way to lose weight please share!!!!
- ANSWER:
  drinking two liters of water a day keeps your weight down, and when you feel hungry you could just need water not food. So drink a glass before you eat. If you have tummy pains(hunger pains) as normal, your hungry, if not, you needed water. Eating less calories and fruit, eating more often (like fruit snacks) keeps your metabolism going so your constantly burning food. You feel amazing after a week of doing so, and walking helps, tones your bum too.
  
  p.s I dont know what time your talking about, since I'm 14, lost two stone in two months and have a nicely toned body too and stayed slim since Good luck x
QUESTION:
Very fast weight loss for morbidly obese woman?
I need to lose a massive amount of weight very quickly, at least 30kg for medical reasons, I'm morbidly obese, and am finding it really hard to lose "any" weight, I'm type 2 diabetic and have chronic pain that restricts many forms of excersise, I'm truly not making excuses, I want to do whatever it takes as my Dr told me yesterday that if I keep going this way I'll be dead in 5 years, and that I have a 1 in 4 chance of havig a stroke.....I'm only 35....MOST IMPORTANTLY I don't want to leave my family, I don't over eat, I have about 3 full meals during a 7 day week, and yes I know I have to eat small meals often being diabetic, I just have no appertite, I'm having xrays and ultra sounds of my abdominal and pelvic areas to see if I have an obstruction.......PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN, no need for nasty comments, I hate myself enough as it is.
- ANSWER:
  You need to combine exercise with a healthy diet. You have 3 full meals, but how big are they?
  
  I would recommend tracking your calories - sometimes it can be a real eye-opener!
  
  I use www.thedailyplate.com, but there's also www.fitday.com, www.sparkpeople.com, etc. They're all free.
  
  The Daily Plate one will give you calorie goals for each day to lose 1 - 2 pounds a week. Unfortunately 2 pounds a week is the max you should lose if you do it in a healthy way.
  
  Don't hate yourself, just find the motivation to lose weight and you'll be fine. Just remember it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change!
  
  EDIT - and please don't listen to the spammers with their cleanses and miracle pills. They don't work for in the long-run and can cause more harm than good.

QUESTION:
Why are all women in weight loss food commercials skinny?
Like Slim Fast and Special K. The lady sitting at the table looks fine, she's a great size, why does she need to eat Special K and loose weight?
- ANSWER:
  They also advertise about lowering cholesterol, and they're also trying to show she ate it for a week or two, now the pounds are like coming off.
QUESTION:
Why do men lose weight faster than women?
Why is weight loss harder for women than men?
- ANSWER:
  It is true that men have higher basal metabolic rates per pound of bod weight (substantially higher), and men also have hormonal differences, but there is one more important point to mention and that is body fat location. Hormonal differences can cause fat depostion in different places. Women tend to put fat on around their legs and seat, while men tend to put on belly fat (after puberty). You have probably seen men with big guts and skinny legs, but you don't ever see women who look like this. This fat is much harder to lose than belly fat. Men who put fat on around their legs and seat will have also have a tough time losing that fat. On the plus side leg fat is not as bad for you as belly fat.
QUESTION:
Smartburn with Hoodie--weight loss for women... ?
I recently bought the Smartburn with Hoodie for women weight loss pills. It says it is total body weight loss including belly butt and thighs.....which are exactly the spots I need to lose weight from. Has anybody tried these pills and do they actually work? I plan to eat better and walk 2-3 times a week for half an hour plus other excercises around home. Do you think I will actually see results and how fast?
- ANSWER:
  I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.
  
  Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.
  
  First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...
  
  This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.
  
  However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace. com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.
  
  Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
QUESTION:
What are some weight loss pills that work for women?
I've tried slim fast and gained my weight back after one month. Has anyone ever tried a pill or supplement thats had permanent results? I am still exercising AFTER Ive stopped slim fast...
- ANSWER:
  Hey instead of taking weight loss pills why don't you try a few easy tricks that might even work better than pills? I helped many lose their weight without taking a single diet pill.
  
  Let me just explain few tricks. You said that you still exercise. Thats really great! Please always do that. Exercises are good for general health, just keep doing that. But keep in mind these tricks.
  
  Eat 4-5 times daily but eat smaller portions of food. And always, eat breakfast. That is the most important meal. Because your digestive system must start in the morning. After at least 2 meals take easy 20 minute walk or easy exercise. Do not workout hard after the meals. Because the goal here is to stimulate your metabolism and easy exercises right after easy meals do just that.
  
  When you eat food chew it really good. Chew at least 15 times so that the enzymes can start working in your mouth. Remember digesting begins in mouth! This is the most important thing.
  
  Soda and sugar drinks are prohibited!
  
  If you do this, you don't need diet pills because you are naturally stimulating your metabolism. You give your body a signal to stop stockpiling the fat cells and use old stored fat cells as energy on your workouts.
  
  And do not ever starve your body on a single low calorie diet again. Such diets send your body a signal that you are starving and body's defense is that it starts storing energy as fat cells because fat cells are stored energy for emergencies.

QUESTION:
How can you measure weight loss and body fat loss?
We have a contest going at work, sort of like Biggest Loser. Six women, four of them between 154-180 lbs and two of them between 250-300 lbs. What is a fair way to make the contest without giving advantage to heavier women? If we have a set weight loss then it wouldn't be fair because fatter people lose weight faster and easier, but if we do it as a percentage it would kind of be the same thing.
resources or ideas?
- ANSWER:
  Body fat loss is the same problem as weight loss - those who only have a little to lose are going to have a lot worse of a time.
  
  Percentage of your total weight would be the best. Then someone who weighs 300lbs would have to lose 2lbs for it to be equivalent to the woman weighing 150lbs losing 1lb.
  
  Have you considered teams and not individual winners? A bit of competition to help motivate you is great, but having two teams of 3 means each person has 2 other people really rooting for them to lose the weight and helping them stick to it. I think % loss of weight for the whole group would even it out a bit (between the smaller and larger women trying to lose weight), and yet keep it competitive and make sure both teams have a fair chance of winning.
QUESTION:
What is the best calorie intake for faster weight loss for a 32 year old 200 lb. woman?
I am so confused...I want to lose it in a healthy way,and I read everything from 1000 to 2000 calories a day...some who say calories don't matter,exercise does,and some that say eat less,exercise not so much..help me!!!:-)
- ANSWER:
  1500 is a good place to start. Don't get down below 1200 if you are exercising regularly, you'll need the energy from the calories for your workouts.
QUESTION:

QUESTION:
Don't you get tired of the fast-weight loss questions?!?
I'm so tired of reading "how do I lose 25ilbs in two weeks" "I need to tone-up by the end of the month" blah blah. I'm not a fitness freak but I'm a sane woman who knows what's healthy. Every once in a while I'd like to see a post where someone places a possible -and healthy- goal to get into shape because it's good for them, and not because they want to look good for an ex they'll be running into in 3 weeks. Doesn't anybody care about health and healthy goals anymore????
- ANSWER:
  THANK YOU! People on here are completely ridiculous. "Im not going to eat for 3 weeks, how much can I lose?" "Im 13 and I need to lose 6lbs by next week" "My friends think Im skinny, but I dont think so (pic included)" SO annoying lol
  
  Ive only seen a few good questions on here, and I am always more than happy to help them. Im really getting tired of telling 10yr olds that anorexia is bad and to go outside and play...

Do the alli pills really work to lose weight ?
I've had my eye on the alli weight loss pills for a while. one of my friends started using it and he says he can see a difference...but he's a guy. guys bodies lose weight faster than women. Have any of you guys used it ? whats your opinion on it ? did it work ? and if it did how much did you lose & how long did it take you to lose it ?
- ANSWER:
  Alli, also known as Xenical in prescription form (Orlistat) is a medication that inhibits the intake of fat. This may have a small effect on calorie intake, but a negligible one. There are a few problems with Alli.
  
  . Carbs, not fat, is more responsible for obesity.
  . Those on Alli tend to indulge, as they feel the pill is inhibiting much more than it actually does.
  . Supplements teach nothing about proper eating and exercise, and weight is put back on.
  . As fat intake is limited, so isn't vitamins and minerals, which may cause a deficiency.
  . Some of the side effects are not very attractive (including bowel issues).
  
  A supplement that suppresses appetite would be more effective, though these have their own side effects.
  
  Any supplement you take should be in conjunction with a diet and exercise program.

How a teen could loss weight?
I am 13 and I weigh 155lbs. I don't have a weight goal but I need help i am tried of everyone being much more prettier than me. Also I am tired of not having a boyfriend and everyone else does. I don't have a lot of time to exercise. So I would like to lose weight fast but keep the weight off. SO PLEASE PLEASE HELP THE FAT WOMEN and its ok to laugh. BESIDES NO ONE THINKS I AM BEAUTIFUL!
- ANSWER:
  Realize this fact - obesity plus the related diseases has raked in victims and was known to be a vicious silent killer surpassed only by smoking.
  
  Regardless of your age bracket or your gender, you’ll be a victim of obesity in no time if you don’t take corrective and protective action against it.
  
  But here’s where the problem lies - children and teenagers need as much calories and carbs as they could get for optimal growth. This makes telling the difference between a healthy lifestyle and getting obese a thousand times more difficult!
  
  BUT keep your cool, I still can help you. With a couple of tips for losing body fat meant for teens especially, you should bet set on the right track.
  
  I know you’re excited. So let’s bring the practical tips forward!
  
  Drastically cutting down on calories and carb-intake is a BIG no-no for teens and youngsters.
  
  HOWEVER, they can get rid of the bulk carbs and fats by dropping their sedentary lifestyle and replacing with an exciting and active one equipped with physical activities that help in burning body fat.
  
  In combination with it, steer clear from junk foods they’re so accustomed to eating and replacing it with healthier foodstuffs like veggies and fruits is a MUST.
  
  I’m not saying you’re completely helpless and won’t be able to change a thing about your eating habits.
  
  You can and MUST opt for complex carbs instead of the simple ones. Complex carbs can be found from grains, rice, oatmeal, etc. and they will NOT just pack your body with energy…they are easy to burn as well which means you won’t gain weight by eating them.
  
  No matter what happens - do NOT skip meals…EVER!
  
  Don’t reason out that it’s because of school, job, or hobby…doing so will only serve to weaken you physically and deprive you of the essential calories you need.
  
  Not to mention you’ll be malnourished if you do this a lot of times.
  
  Worse, you will NOT start losing body fat as your body’s metabolism will think that you’re about to die of starvation and will keep the fats intact for your survival.
  
  Totally NO weight loss for you!
  
  Teenagers and children have a complicated structure when it comes to losing and gaining body fat and it’s different from an adult.
  
  HOWEVER, by applying and sticking to the tips given above, you can still save them from obesity and obesity related diseases which are plaguing almost everyone right now and teens included.
QUESTION:
safest weight loss pill supplement for women?
I took some pills called hot rocks but they make me dizzy and I fell like throwing up. I want to know the fastest and safest that has worked for you or anyone you know.
- ANSWER:
  working out is the safest. We all know that. Pills can be dangerously dramatic, and I suggest a (if you are seriously obese) stomach staplement or a lapic removal (getting your fat sucked out). But those are all expensive and risky. Please consider working out like you should! Eat veggies and perhaps go on a Percent daily Values diet.

How can I get rid of my pudge and lose 20 pounds fast?
How long will it take?

SPAM WILL BE REPORTED!
- ANSWER:
  I am on this fantastic diet which isn't like a diet at all, it gives you a day off each week to eat whatever you want, you are never hungry (can snack every hour if you want to) and it is very easy to stick to. You lose weight pretty fast if you stick to it, especially at the beginning, plus it stops you craving sugar and carbs after a very short time. Best of all you don't need to do more than a half hour of walking each day. No vigorous working out (it actually works better if you don't work out hard). I sometimes don't even do that and it still works. I've lost 36 kilograms (about 79 pounds) since the first couple of weeks of the new year, and I haven't really stuck to it verbatim, so I don't think you can get much faster or better than that. It's all about the type of food you eat and when. Happy to fill you in on the details.

  I take a supplement called Herbalean, and it contains hoodia and the recently un-banned ephedra Ma Huang. It's made by the people that originally made MetaboLife 356, and their new fomula works very well for me. I have a lot of energy, and have completely stopped snacking between meals.
QUESTION:
WHAT'S A WEIGHT LOSS DIET THAT WORKS!?
Like, I need to lose weight and I'm becoming extremely unmotivated...I tried the starvation diet, bleh! Nooo way. I lasted 2 days...I was going to try the oatmeal diet, but I read somewhere that it's only for short-term use...and I'm probably going to be on a diet for like 4-5 months...not a week, haha you get my drift?

My brother lost a lot of weight when he was about my age...he told me that he ate 3 square meals a day...

I'm kind of trying to avoid chicken and meat and so forth, (and sometimes it's cooked for dinner..bleh) so I just want to cut all of that out.

Men lose weight 25% faster than women too, so that pretty much explains why he lost the weight so fast...

Anyways...I want a diet that I can stick to, and that would actually make me lose weight...I do roughly about 1hour of exercise a day so yeah xD

Thanks in advance.
- ANSWER:
  go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
  after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
  your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
  you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
  cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
  diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
  calculate points or to buy special meals or plans.

QUESTION:
Why are my colleagues being so petty and mean about my weight loss?
After a stern warning from my doctor about my likelihood of developing diabetes in the next few years I decided to change my eating habits and take up exercise. I switch my diet to 100% clean, home cooked wholefoods and worked out about an hour or so 6 days a week. I lost a lot of weight fast going from 220 to 140 in about 4 months. I work in an office with all women and at first as I was still wearing my old clothes my weight loss was not noticed, it was only after buying clothes in a smaller size people began to notice. At this point I had lost about 30lbs and women I worked with said I looked better and so on but not long after that they started up with comments such as I shouldn't be starving myself (I'm not as I eat about 1800 cals a day), I should lose too much more as I was fine now and that I wouldn't suit being too slim as well as lot's off encouragement to eat cakes etc in work and told I was a killjoy and no fun when I would decline. I did not really like talking much about my weight loss and if people asked how I was doing it and I said healthy food and plenty of exercise the looked a bit disappointed.
Now I am 139lbs (not a stick insect) and a UK size 10/12 which I am happy with although I am still losing a weight slowly and I think my weight will settle at about 135lbs which is fine for me 5 foot 5 inch height. I am happy with my results but still experiencing a lot of negative comments at work. We had a company dinner and dance last weekend and I went out a bought a new dress, not low cut or shot but very pretty and in a size 12. I wasn't exactly glammed up just a touch of make up but I was hardly there before th catty comments started. One woman I work with and though I got on well with had too much to drink and said that I thought I was something special now I was slim and that just because I was thinner now didn't mean that my (and I quote) "p*ssy was gold plated" I did get quite a bit of male attention that night but it was so unusual for me that if anything it made me feel uncomfortable, I really wasn't asking for it just enjoying not feeling like an elephant for once! I used to be the fattest in the group, but with a nice face. Now I am one of the slimmest and I think it has ruffled a few feathers and all the negativity is making my working day quite unpleasent. What should I do to smooth thinks out with my colleagues and why are they being so petty?
I don't think I have bragged about it. I don't really like talking about my weight loss. A lot of the women I work with are always on diets and talk about it non stop. I think thats a bit boring really.
My weight loss plan was real simple. I am a vegetarian but before I ate a lot of ready meals and was always hungry so snacked on sweets and pastries etc. I changed my diet so that I ate all home cooked food, all fresh veggies, fruit, home baked wholemeal bead, brown rice, lentils etc I had lot's of salads and indian dahls etc and supplemented my diet with the odd protein shake to help with muscle repair. My total calories averaged about 1800 a day. I had trouble sometimes eating it all sometimes it seemed so much!
As for working out I did about an hour of cardio everyday 6 days a week mixing it up to keep my body guessing so one day I'd do interval training and the next day I'd do a long moderate intensity walk on the treadmill at an incline. I also did resistance training with weights three times a week. I made sure I got lot's of sleep and had a rest day every week.
I used the Sauna at the gym a couple of times a weel as well, which I think helped.

Simple!
- ANSWER:
  Whoa! There is lots of stuff going on here! Your friends were comfortable with the "fat & happy you" and suddenly you have become svelte! No doubt, there is a lot of ambivalence on their part regarding who you are now!
  
  We all expect our friends to be happy for us if we lose weight, fall in love, or win the lottery. But in truth, those kinds of things change the dynamic of the relationship! It makes your friends uncomfortable if you are suddenly a different person.
  
  Cut them some slack. As they become more comfortable with your slim self, they should be able to regroup and accept it. This has all happened pretty fast! Just be sure that YOU don't become a prima donna now that you are slim and beautiful!
  
  And, Darlin', please tell me how you lost 80 lbs. in four months!?! I want to bottle it and sell it! Then my friends will have to deal with the RICH MARY! (And I will have your problem!)

- ANSWER:
  You might lose weight with soy now, but it will come back and bite you in the butt with health problems and probably weight gain, later. It will screw up your endocrine system, too. ONLY use naturally fermented soy, like organic soy sauce.
  
  To lose weight the fastest with exercise:
  rebound on trampoline or safe rebounder every day to detox you of toxins that cling to extra water weight - helps get rid of weight, toxins and cellulite, and tones EVERYTHING. More effective than running, and better on your joints.
  
  Body wraps can help shift fat but you HAVE to be diligent to drink water and avoid fat, caffeine and sugar or the fat just re-deposits. Benefits: shifts toxins out, compresses tissue so it is firmer and smaller than before, now that the toxins and their buffering excess water weight have been transferred out. The cells actually "stick back together" closer than before.
  
  Beware of too much cardio, it teaches your body to use and store fat effectively unless you diet brutally.
  
  Use a program like Jorge Cruise's 12-second sequence or Rob Poulos Fat Burning Furnace or Shapely Secrets intensive isometrics to really, really push your muscles. This will pump up your fat burning more than cardio, and it will pump it up all the time. If you do sit ups, please, please be kind to your neck. Do comprehensive workouts so you don't get out of balance.
  
  Your water plan and multiple meal plan usually works great for people at this stage of dieting, and your free day is highly recommended by many experts. To lose weight at a consistent pace, you'll want to keep your calorie intake in check at each meal, while at the same time making sure you get plenty of calories each day to build muscle. Digestive enzymes will help prevent undigested material from pooching out your belly (soy inhibits digestion, and can slowly lead to a pooch. So do most whole grain products that are available today, because of the way they are prepared. Stick with sprouted whole grain breads to minimize this problem). Take high quality probiotics.
  
  Do a metabolic typing test. Some people lose weight much, much easier when they eat according to their type. You can eat all the lean chicken you want, but if you need fatty lamb to balance your metabolism, you aren't going to lose weight very easily eating lean chicken, and you'll feel crappier than you need to, to boot. There are tests online, look for Dr. Wolcott's, he's one of the foremost guys in the field. Dr. Mercola is another resource that is available easily online. Or try your library or Amazon to get books to help you do this. Look for Wolcott's book on Metabolic Typing, Mercola's Total Health books, Rudolf Wiley's Biobalance I and II.

I'm 16 years old and I'm starting to gain the average woman fat. I started gaining weight around the inside and outside of my thighs (not the front or back) and my lower belly.

- ANSWER:
  Cut out all sugars & starches. No sodas, juices, cookies, candy, cakes, etc. As healthy as fruit may be, it's natural sugars do not only not promote fat loss, they actually promote fat storage (fructose is the most lipogenic carb).
  
  Make sure half your meals are green non starchy vegs & eat lots of protein & good fats, limit your complex carb portions to no more than your protein portion.

Help! I need to drop weight fast - 6 days!?
We are doing the biggest loser at work (winner takes 0). I have lost 30 lbs. up to this point and am currently in 1st place, however the woman who is right behind me has not weighed in for 3 weeks. She is a lot smaller to me, so I would need to lose 5lbs. to her 2lbs (winner is based on % of weight loss). I am looking for a way to drop weight fast (even if it is just water weight) for the weigh in on Thursday. I think I would be the winner if I could lose 10lbs. I am exercising daily and will continue losing weight the "right" way after this weigh-in. The competition is just so close that I need that extra cushion....

QUESTION:
How should a girl take a comment from a guy regarding weight loss?
It is a very common fact that many women around the world frequently go on diets to lose a few pounds or in some cases stone. This can utilise the assistance of weight loss schemes such as Weight Watchers, Slim Fast, etc. All this done in an effort to look good, and why not!

However, whilst I have known some big girls lose lots of weight and get comments from guys saying how good they look because of their transformation. But, at the same time, I have known some girls who might be 20lbs over weight take badly to a guy making a comment where they say for example "wow, you've lost some weight, you're looking good"..... I have heard responses from the girl along the lines of "Are you saying I was fat before?" followed by a sudden hatred of the guy.

So, how far should a guy take his comments or should he just keep his mouth shut on all occsassions?
- ANSWER:
  If you want to compliment a girl, you can do so without mentioning weight. Simply saying, "You look good" is sufficient.
QUESTION:
Will Women's One A Day Active Metabolism help with losing weight for boot camp?
I'm 18 years old. I'm 5'3'' and weigh 134 lbs. I'd like to get between 110-115 in 6 months or less since I ship out to USMC boot camp in 6 months. I work out but my eating habits were never healthy, so I'm starting to eat healthy foods. I wanted to add a vitamin to my diet so I bought a metabolism booster vitamin. I'm not looking to lose weight fast, I'd like to lose 2 pounds a week. With working out 4-6 times a week and eating around 1200 calories, will the vitamin help aid with the weight loss? If so, how long will it take to lose 20-25 pounds?

  You could lose that weight in 2-3 months, even without the vitamin.

- ANSWER:
  i know this sounds silly but if you have a wii console, the wii fit plus is definitely worth buying. I lost a stone and a half by using that daily and going to my local slimming world (i live in the uk)
  
  i also went running quite often and that really helps improve fitness so you can do more exercise each time. If you want your stomach more toned then sit ups and jack knifes really help.
  
  Also make sure you have a balanced diet, so 3 meals a day and maybe one or two snacks. Try and get your 5-a-day and don't eat after 7pm.
  
  If you have a high calorie intake in the morning you are likely to burn it off in the daytime, but if you have a high calorie intake in the evening, you on't burn any of it off as you will be sleeping so it will turn into fat.
  
  Hope i helped and good luck!

QUESTION:
How do I tackle loose skin after weight loss?
I am in kidney failure so I do not have the strength to do much vigorous exercises. But here is my dilemma.

Over the past 13 years I have been battling kidney disease and my weight has fluctuated all over the place. Using super high doses of steroids to try to generate kidney functioning I went from 130 to 200 pounds in 6 months. I had a transplant in 2002, but it is now rejecting.

Being in kidney failure again, I have had significant weight loss and very fast. I had been exercising up until a few months ago and although still overweight at 154 I was firmed up quite a bit and had good abs because of my bender ball. However I am only 5 feet tall.

So I have lost 27 pounds in about 60 days and have not been where I could exercise. I am not strong enough. I try to use some hand weights to work on my arms; but not much. I also try to do squats while in the kitchen and hold onto the counter. But I have loose skin on my stomach, thighs and I have those turkey flappy things under my arms!! You know....the ones your mom's aunt had!!

I realize my health is first and I will have another transplant soon. Somehow there is this little vain of vanity that thinks I still have to try to look good. I am 47 and this is just about my last hoorah! I really want to look and feel better for me and my man. He deserves to have his woman look good for sticking by me through everything. But does anyone have any suggestions for me or know of skin tightening food or creams that really work?
Thanks in advance for any thoughtful answers.
- ANSWER:
  WOW! With your current state of health, I admire your concern for wanting
  to continue to look your best. Ther are no creams, exercises or magic potions
  that will take care of the loose skin. I suggest you dress to cover those areas
  that are a problem to you.... knee length shorts, capris, elbow length tops, etc.
  Good luck with your up coming transplant, and best wishes for improved health.

how do you get those abs (lol i dont want THAT much muscle)

any tips on how you work out and eat?

thanksss :]

oh btw...
im 5'4, 107 lbs, and 14 years old
- ANSWER:
  For your weight/height, you shouldn't do anything drastic. Stick to a good cardio workout and drink plenty of water in place of any other liquids you normally drink and you'll see a difference.
  
  For the cardio, do interval runnings, where you sprint for a short amount of time (30 seconds) and then jog for a longer time (1.5 minutes) and then keep adding more time to the sprint and less on the jog until you can do a minute of each. You'll be speeding up your metabolism as well as be burning more calories after you're done working out.

what is the best way to lose weight?
I need to lose 20 pounds by october? what is the best way that is healthy and fast? I am a older women taking sereval kinds of meds that might hinder weight loss, any ideas?
- ANSWER:
  Focus on eating fruit and vegetables. I advice you go see a nutritionist, he will definitely help you with this. Other than that, do sports! The most complex are swimming and running. You will find something that you'll like. In case you like junk food, try to give up eating such things. I honestly used to eat junk food pretty often and it shows, so it's not just a joke. Oh, and be sure to drink water (about 2-3 L a day).
  
  Good luck!

QUESTION:
Postpartum weight loss?
Okay, well before I was pregnant and tried to lose weight I could lose so much soooo fast, but now that I'm 7 weeks postpartum I've cut down on a lot of my bad eating habits, but still the scale hardly moves, I feel like i've been doing well, but am seeing no results...I've heard it's harder for women to lose weight after a baby because your body is still used to storing fat is this true? and if so, what are ways to get your body back to the old body...
- ANSWER:
  I am really sorry to tell you this but baby weight can take up to 2 years to ward off. My stats- I am a dance instructor I WORK OUT 5 days a week, I eat healthy, balanced meals, I don't drink, etc... I still have 10lbs from my past pregnancy. It takes time for your body to release the hormones. For every woman it is different but alot of my friends experience this. You are only 7 weeks, you just got the ok to resume normal exercise. Get out, get moving, eat healthy and rest. Sleep has alot to do with it too. I truly did not start seeing results until my daughter started sleeping through the night. It plays a major role on your digestive system.
  
  Hopefully you are breast feeding, its the healthiest plus it burns ALOT of calories. Just give yourself a break and enjoy that baby!
QUESTION:
Am I losing weight too fast?
I have been really unhealthy the last 3 years of my life since graduating from high school. At 19 I was 6ft tall and 180 pounds. On my 22nd birthday I was 312 pounds and needed a change. About 6 weeks ago I made a life change; I stopped smoking, drinking, and I only eat meat once or twice a week. I no longer drink juice or soda (because they both have too many calories) and I drink about 10-12 glasses of water a day. I don’t eat any sugar or refined carbohydrates. My diet is made up of fresh fruit (4-5 a day) and mostly raw green veggies. I workout 5 days a week burning over for 70-95 minutes each day burning over 5500 a week. I don’t slip up; I have the willpower to get down to a healthy weight. Over the last 6 weeks I have lost 6 weeks I have lost 35 pounds. I average about 5-6 pounds a week. My problem is I have I group of friends (all women) that are trying to lose weight also. They only loss about one to two pounds or something nothing in a week and they really make me feel bad about the work I am doing. They tell me I am anorexic and that I work out to much and that if I am not only losing 1-2 pounds a week I am doing it wrong. I think I am just working harder than them because I have more will for it because I want to be healthy so bad. Want do you think am I losing weight to fast?
- ANSWER:
  5-6 pounds a week is fine, it is coming off fast now b/c you had a lot to lose and you drastically changed your eating habits and exercise habits. you are being healthy and going at this aggressively, good job. your friends are correct that usually 1-2 pounds a week is good, but 5-6 is ok too as long as its not more than that and you arent doing it in an unhealthy way. you are doing what you are supposed to be doing to lose weight, and you just happen to shed the pounds faster than your friends. keep it up, dont let them discourage you. if you feel good, then keep it up.
QUESTION:
major fears about postpartum weight loss and being overweight forever...need advice from moms!?
So I am 4 months along now, and I have been a bit overweight for much of my life, but not too badly, anywhere from 0-15 lbs over the strict limits for BMI (I'm 5'8"). My fitness level has always been good/fairly muscular.

But my weight has been creeping up on my over the last 3 years or so, ever since I turned 30. At the beginning of that period I was at a normal weight, about 158 lbs. But then I quit my waitressing job (which apparently burned a lot of calories) to finish up my PhD, which was great in terms of making a living but also led to a much more sedentary lifestyle in front of a computer once I got an academic job.

By this time last year I'd gained 10 lbs and by the time I married my husband I weighed about 170lbs. After eating plenty of Christmas goodies, I found I was pregnant, starting off at 173 lbs. I know this isn't so horrible in the grand scheme, but having spent most of my life in the lower 160's it filled me with dread to be starting off at this weight.

I am terrified of gaining so much that I won't ever see the 150's again. So far I have gained 7 lbs. I am trying to keep my weight under control with a more conscious focus on diet and exercise, but in the last couple of weeks I've packed on the majority of this weight, and watching the scale hit 180 makes me wonder how long it's going to take me - if ever! - to have my body back again. I still have more than half my pregnancy to go, and I was really hoping to keep my gain down to 15 lbs. That means I can only gain another 8 lbs with my baby over the course of the next 24 weeks!!! That's less than half a pound a week that I can gain now while still gaining the minimum required.

How fast did your weight come off after your baby was born? How much did you lose right away? After 6 weeks? 6 months? A year? Did you ever get back to your prepregnancy weight? Thanks for your answers and helping me to put this into perspective from women who have actually gone through this.
- ANSWER:
  Oh I feel you! I was 36 when I got pregnant with my twins and a size 13. By the end of my pregnancy I was a 26 (!!) and had gained 65 lbs! Darn those root beer floats! But when I delivered I dropped 35lbs right away and was in a 16 when I went home from the hospital. I still have about 25 lbs to lose but now that its getting warmer out I will be able to take the babies out for walks and that will help alot! Just make sure you walk as much as you can now-it will help keep your weight under control and will help with delivery. With my 1st child I was 19 and gained a total of 40lbs and it took over a year to get back into shape but I went through a divorce when she was only 4 months old so I'm sure depression didn't help at all! My husband tells me all the time that it's baby fat and so it doesn't really count! Of course that is usually after I've gone looking for something to wear and am in tears! A good diet and exercise is important but whats a few pounds compared to a healthy baby? If you breast feed then it will help burn calories too. Mainly I would say be sensible about it and try not to stress over the weight (ha ha!) because it's for a good cause and you can always take it back off again. Good Luck and Congrats!
QUESTION:
Little Weight Loss Questions?
Alright, so I posted something similar to this about a month or two back, and I didn't really get the answers I was looking for. I figured I would try again.

I've decided on a life-long career, a U.S. Army Helicopter Pilot. Me, being only as tall as 5'3, have to fit into a certain weight category. I figure within the next few years I may grow an inch or two, but I might not at the same time. Anyway, for my current height (5'3) the weight requirements for women are anywhere between 107 and 141 lbs. I'm telling you right now that I weight about seventy to eighty pounds MORE than 140.

I have four years to take the weight off, and I figure that I can do it if I really, really put my mind to it. My new routine has been going on for the last month, and I still haven't gotten much results. All I have done for the last year is drink water - no lemonade, iced tea, soda, etc., and still not a whole heck of a result - maybe five to ten pounds.

So, my idea is that I'm going to work on our elliptical for fifteen to thirty minutes per day, watch what I eat more, still only drink water, still stay away from fast food, keep going to the Gym, etc.

I wanted to know if anybody had any little tips. Just small things that may or may not have helped you along the way. Maybe just small little exercises that you think made a difference, so on and so forth.

I'd appreciate if you didn't just reply with websites, because I hate having to scan through pages and look for an answer.

Thanks in advance. <3

QUESTION:
Joke: How to lose weight fast?
A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 5kg weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic,
19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later puffing and puffing, he finally gives up.
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 5kg as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/10kg program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning,
beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads,
"If you catch me you can have me".

Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.
So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 10kg as promised.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/25kg program.

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program." "Absolutely," he replies,
"I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running
shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you are mine."

He lost 33 kilos that week.
