Weight Loss Pounds

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   How many pounds is visible in weight loss?
   Is a pound in weight loss visible to others, i understand i wouldn't see it because it is a tiny amount but would it make a tiny difference? Is 2 pounds in weight loss visible and is that a good achievement?

   • ANSWER:
     Yes very nice. Do you use Mediral HCG drops to loose weight naturally also ?
     If so what its success rate ? I heard this is good and US FDA Approved. This is also
     affordable not too costly and user friendly !!!!

2. QUESTION:
   I need picture that shows me an example of 10 pounds weight loss before/after?
   I want to see how big of a difference the loss of 10 pounds can make for a person around 5'6?

   Like, from 135 to 125,
   or 125 to 115.
   Something like that

   Is the difference subtle or noticeable?
   Do you drop a jean size or something?

   • ANSWER:
     Well, for starters, your healthiesst body weight for 5'6" is around 130 lbs...but weight carries differently on some people. It seems like 115 would just be way too thin.

     I am 5'3" and went from 120-112, and noticed a huge difference in the way I looked. Mostly my stomach and waist, and a bit in my face. The 8 lb difference took me from a size 5 to a size 3.

     I would say that 10 lbs on a 5'6" would be a very noticable difference, unless the weightloss is partly muscle tissue.

3. QUESTION:
   Will 10-13 pounds weight loss be noticeable for a guy that is 143 pounds and will it make me jump higher?
   Ok so im 5'11,143 pounds,and 19 years old.I Have fat on my stomach that i want to lose off.Will the weight that i lose come off from the stomach and will it be noticeable?Also the main reason i want to lose it off is because i want to be able to dunk the basketball.Oh and how long will it take to lose this weight off

   • ANSWER:
     First of all, I don't think you actually need to lose weight. According to your height and weight, your BMI (body mass index) is in a healthy range. If you lose 10 pounds, you will be on the verge of being underweight. If you lose ANY more than 10 pounds, you will be officially underweight. If you are an athlete, you need to be healthy. You will find that you are slower and can't go as long on the court if you are unhealthy and underweight. Why don't you focus more on crunches and ab workouts rather than actually shedding pounds?

     About dunking the basketball, I don't believe that losing weight is going to help you do that. If anything, you might make yourself so unhealthy that you can't jump as high as you can now. If you keep practicing, you can increase how high you can jump.

     If you really insist on losing the weight, then please be careful. You do NOT want to be starving yourself, especially when you are an athlete. You will start burning muscle- not fat. Don't do it by not eating. You need to eat healthy AND you need to make sure you eat enough to make up for how much you work out. Good luck!

4. QUESTION:
   Is it realistic to set a goal of 3 pounds weight loss this week?
   i've been doing 50 mins 3 times of tae bo and 30 mins the other 2 days of a bike machine. First week was 6 pounds, then 3, then 2. I want to set a goal of 3 pounds this week, would i be able to attain this by upping my exercise?

   19 male, 6 feet and now at 237. This is my 4th week exercising and watching cals.
   Bass- yea i noticed that. Thats why i was askin bout the 3 pounds im kinda confused on how to change it up. im planning to reduce my calories to 1500 and exercise for an hour fifteen mins this week, every day.

   • ANSWER:
     I think 3 lbs is totally attainable as long as you do increase your cardio (calories burned) and watch or even reduce caloric intake. Good luck. Seems the # of lbs you lose each week would taper off or slow down as your body adapts to the program you're doing, so be sure to change it up regularly. Good luck

5. QUESTION:

6. QUESTION:
   How many pounds does it take for weight loss to be visible?
   So let's say that someone is short (around 5'2"), someone else is taller (mediumish), and the last person is tallest (6'0").

   If they all weigh the same, how many pounds of weight would it take to make the weight loss visible?

   What other factors should be considered?

   • ANSWER:
     It all depends how much someone weighs to begin with, it doesn't really have anything to do with height. The bigger the person is, in terms of WEIGHT not height, then the more weight they have to loose for it to be noticeable. The thinner the person, the less weight there is to loose, the more noticeable. First signs of weight loss are generally in the face, but that's because that's the part one looks at the most and notices more.

12. QUESTION:
    Does the last 5 pounds of Weight Loss make a difference?
    I weigh 129 pounds and would like to be at 124. I am a girl and I am 5'6. Will the 5 pounds of weight that I lose make a noticeable difference?

    • ANSWER:
      I think so. I am about your height, and the biggest difference i noticed was between those pounds! Especially on my stomach.
      When you were heavier, 5 pounds would have made a small difference, because it was small in proportion to your overall weight. But now because you are lighter, it will make a bigger difference because it is a larger proportion of your weight.
      Hope this helped

13. QUESTION:
    Can you tell a difference in 12 pounds of weight loss?
    Hello there,
    I'm 14 and 5'2

    Would you think this is noticeable? I don't look overweight right now, but I'd like to look more on the slim side than I am, I have a lot of muscle mass due to cheerleading.
    Thanks =]

    • ANSWER:
      Definitley gonna be noticeable. One full pant size. 112 is a perfect weight for a 5'2 person. When you are shorter like you are at 5'2 (no offense I am 5'3 so I am a shorty too) ten pounds will look like twenty!

16. QUESTION:
    How would you explain the benefit of calculating percentage of weight loss instead of pounds?
    My colleagues at work want to do a Biggest Looser contest and they want to go by the pounds lost, not percentage. How do I explain to them the advantage of using percentage? To me, it is basic maths and I am at loss of words to explain it to them. THANK YOU!
    We are planning to use a Body Fat Scale. I suppose we would look at the body fat results instead of pounds. Does that make sense?

    • ANSWER:
      Easy take everyones start point,
      So someone (A) who is 15st = 210LBS they lose 10lbs so 10 divided by 210 x 100 = 4.76% lost of the total weight.

      Let's assume someone weighs 10st 7lbs that's 147lbs and they lose 7lbs less than the above but the % is the same here . Same sum 7 divide by 147 x 100 4.76%

      But if the 10st 7lb person loses 10lbs the same weight loss as (A) 10 divide by 147 x 100 = 6.8%.

      Easy way to solve this is have 2 awards. One to the person who loses the most lbs that way you motivate the fatties and one to those who lose the biggest % you motivate the not so fatties.

17. QUESTION:
    is a weight loss of 20 pounds in 5 or 6 months a reasonable goal?
    im 5'2 130 and wanna be 110. i want to do it by the summmer which is in about 6 months. is this a reasonable goal or is it tooo much weight loss for the amount of time? also, any tips on how to keep a strong will power? thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      That's a very reasonable goal. Change your diet-start eating lean meats. Drop the pork, beef, and other fatty low quality meat. Run and swim, as cardio burns through fat. Also, consider weightlifting. Low weight and high repetitions will build some muscle that will slim you up and burn fat. Good luck and stay motivated!

    How can I up my weight loss to 10 pounds within the next week?
    I have lost 32 pounds so far, but I am in a contest and really need to loose just 10 more this week. How can I loose these 10 pounds quick?

    • ANSWER:
      It is said that you are supposed to drink two liters of water a day. One liter before lunch and the other within the day time. Green tea is really healthy for your metabolism and helps boost it, its not entirely healthy to try to loose that much weight in seven days, but if your trying to, be careful, normally eating five small meals a day would also help, and try exercising regularly and stretching when you get up in the morning as well. What ever you do do not stop eating, just eat healthy and advoid foods with high cellulose, that wont help you AT ALL hope i helped some... And good luck

20. QUESTION:
    Is a weight loss of fifty pounds noticeable at all?
    I lost fifty pounds a while ago. People say they notice but I think they are all lying. What do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      50 pounds is a lot of weight to lose. Good for you! What is that, like 11 dress sizes? Do you feel healthier? Because you should.

      Well, unless you're morbidly obese, 50 pounds is like new shiny rims on a car. People can't help but notice. Some like it, some don't. I would think most people like shiny rims, and when their friends lose 50 pounds and become healthier.

21. QUESTION:
    For a healthy weight loss of 2 pounds a week, how often should I visit the gym?
    I have started eating 1500 cals a day as well. I'm 24, 5' 7 and 168 pounds (12 stone) is 3 times a week doing 90 mins of cardio sufficient or should I break it up and do the same exercise over more days?

    • ANSWER:
      You need to be working out atleast 3 times a week for atleast 60 min each time. That is a minimum, anything more is good too. Just no more than 6 days a week. And also dont do just cardio. Do half cardio and half weight training. Cardio with burn a lot of the calories, but so will the weight training as well as fat. Plus you muscles will get toned from the weights. Doing just cardio doesnt do much, you may drop the pounds but in the mirror it will compare nothing to if you add weight training in too. I work out 6 days a week, 30-45 min cardio and 60-90 min weight training. Im 20 5'7 started at 174 and now im 149. All within 2 months.

22. QUESTION:
    5'4 and 119 pounds, weight loss help for shorter girls?
    Im 5'4 and 8 and a half stone or 119 pounds, and i find it hard to shift weight . And i need to fit into a dress from two and a half years ago, so i need to lose preferably about 5-7 pounds in 5 weeks. Any Ideas in terms of exercises/ diet plans?

    • ANSWER:
      Running is a great way to tone and slenderize. Also portion control. Try to limit bad carbs like white potatoes, white bread, white rice, and any cookies, cakes ect. It is also a good idea to eat healthy every 2-3 hours. So, grab some carrots as a snack, or some broccoli.
      Also, when you are eating a meal, make sure the majority is veggies, and about 1/4 of the plate a meat, and 1/4 a carb.
      This way you do not have to sacrifice quantity when you are eating, and you will still become full just from eating the good stuff!
      Good Luck!

26. QUESTION:
    I am kinda fat but would 60 pounds weight loss make my face longer and oval ?
    I weigh 240 pounds and I am 6'3 feet tall .. I was wondering if losing 60 pounds would make my face look longer and more oval..... What do you think ???

    • ANSWER:
      Losing weight in general be it 10 lbs or 110lbs would slim out your face. Your face, however, will always be the same shape. It will look slimmer, and more defined. For example, I have a round face. If I lose weight, my face is not going to be oval, or square. It will still be round. My cheek bones may be more profound, my jawline more defined, and my chin more distinct. My actual face though will still be round. The same goes for you, depending on what shape your face is. It may seem longer, but its only bc it will be leaner.

31. QUESTION:
    Is seven pounds a month a reasonable weight loss goal?
    I'm attempting to lose weight, about 80 pounds, and I figured that I will be able to reach my final goal (135 pounds) in a year if I lose seven pounds a month.

    Is this a reasonable goal? Do you have any suggestions as to how I can be more likely to successfully accomplish this? I already plan on counting calories and doing an hour of exercise each day.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes that is a reasonable goal if your going to be relentless and strive until your fatigued during the exercises. Do not overexert yourself otherwise your efforts will be futile in improving your composition, ensure that you crave essential nutrients rather then rely on unhealthy foods such as chips,donuts,pizza,and popcorn etc. To stimulate the weight loss I recommend you to eat frequent meals. For instance 4-6 meals a day on a basis of 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism steady. At the preliminary stage of weight loss you may experience your energy diminishing because of your cardiovascular level, however what I am trying to imply is accelerate at a moderate pace then gradually incorporate speed increments because your body need's to get accustomed to vigorous activities. Furthermore eventually you'll obtain the natural workout zest and you'll be exhilarated by that resulting in physique maintenance. All the best Thrive for optimism and be resilient you'll gradually progress.

32. QUESTION:
    The Biggest Loser - Weight Loss. Pounds or percentage?
    The Biggest Loser contest determines the winner by looking at the percentage of weight a person lost instead the number of pounds lost. The percentage is determined by dividing number of pounds lost into a person's weight.

    Why would the percentage be a better determining factor than the number of pounds lost?

    • ANSWER:
      I thought they had combined it to somehow take both into consideration... Percentage is "better" for this reason though...

      A 400lbs man and a 450 lbs man are competing. The 400 pounder loses 200 lbs and the 450 pounder loses 210 lbs. Should the 450 lbs man win just because he lost ten more lbs, even though he had 50 more lbs up for grabs? By their logic, no. The 400lbs man lost 50% of his body weight while the 450 lbs man only lost 47%. Therefore the 400 lbs man lost a higher percentage of his unwanted body mass, and came closer to the goal of losing all the unwanted weight. It's a way of equalizing the playing field for the smaller contestants you have less lbs to lose.

33. QUESTION:
    Is a weight loss goal of 2 pounds a week reasonable for me?
    I have gained a little weight recently and I wasn't completely happy with my weight to begin with so now I'm going to start dieting and hopefully lose the excess jiggle. I'm 5'6" tall, female, I have a small frame, and weigh 137 pounds. I'd like to get down to about 125. Do you think I can do that in about 6-8 weeks?

    • ANSWER:
      2 pounds a week is absolutly healthy. For your height and weight I would not recommend losing any more than that in a given 2 week period. To do this, make sure that you are not starving yourself. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day, eat 6 small meals a day. You should eat something every 2-3 hours. Have a good breakfast, as this is the most important. Then eat a snack (apple, orange, carrots) in the middle of breakfast and lunch. Eat a medium sized lunch ( a sandwich with cottage cheese, or fruit) then eat another snack a couple hours later (apple, string cheese, almonds, etc..) eat dinner (skinless chicken, salad) and then eat some fruit a couple hours before you go to bed. Eating this way will prevent you from over eating during one meal. You will lose weight in no time! Adding exercise will be even more beneficial for you. Go for a long walk, run, swim.. just get moving for atleast 30 minutes a day where you increase your heart rate. Doing this for a month or more will not only allow you to lose weight, but if you stick with the program you will develop a habit of having a healthy lifestyle. Good luck!

34. QUESTION:
    What are the minimum pounds of weight I need to lose in order to visibly see results in weight loss?
    I want to lose weight in 2 weeks. I don't really care how much just as long as its visible to see. Like someone can easily tell that I lost weight. How many pounds do I need to lose in order for that to happen? And how long will it take 2 lose those pounds? Thank you.
    Btw im large not small

    • ANSWER:
      It really depends on the person...I guess I'll just answer based on my own experience. I used to have a lot of visible belly fat (it was really gross...). This summer, I dieted and exercised and within the first 2-3 weeks, I lost around 6-8 lbs. I saw a huge difference in my body. Most of the fat around my stomach was gone, and now, I pretty much have a flat stomach except for bit of fat that I'm still working on to get off.

      The average person, if on a *healthy* diet (1000-1200 calories, 15 minutes of cardio), will lose about 2 lbs per week. Losing any more than 2 lbs per week is dangerous. I lost around 3-4 lbs in the first week, and this is because I went on a 700 calorie diet. I do not recommend this because now, I feel moody all the time and feel dizzy/light-headed. Plus, the weight stops coming off after a few weeks. So moral of the story? Don't go below 1000 calories on a diet. (I'm currently working towards a higher calorie consumption.)

36. QUESTION:
    How can I lose the last five pounds when my weight loss has plateaued?
    I am 5'5", 125, which is a normal healthy weight, but I best like how I look when I am 115-120. But even with calorie counting and working out 3-5 days a week, I can't get below 125 without basically fasting. Which I know is unhealthy. Is there a better way to do it?

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds like you need some change! Change up your workout routine or add light weights to the cardio you are already doing. As for food, i have been eating just raw fruits and veggies since wednesday...today is Friday...Ive lost 5 lbs. Im not an expert, but im not starving and im losing weight. Try it...Good luck!

37. QUESTION:
    Is a 38 pound weight loss in 3 months a lot?
    Just wondering. I mean I know the "healthy" weight loss rate is 2 pounds a week, but I've heard of healthy people losing 3 pounds a week.

    I'm just moderately overweight and I hope to be at the lower end of the healthy BMI by the end of December.

    • ANSWER:

      No hunny that is healthy I went to a fat camp over the summer for the last two years, to be a junior counselor….I was heavy, and I lost 30 pounds in two months the first year I went, and the second I lost 16 and gained plenty of muscle from June 27th - August 16th. It is a credible camp so I did loss the weight the right way "Camp Pocono Trails (new image)" in Reeder’s, Pennsylvania. We had 3 meals a day, and two snacks one after dinner and one before lunch, lots of activity and games everyone fits in, even skinny girls went to camp for the friends. There was many hills and lots of walking to get to are locations for the day, not to mention the heat, and humidity. I loved the place and wish to go back again! So basically my point is yes 38 pounds in 3 months is fine.

      Good luck, stay healthy, and dont give up! Determination is the key. If you need any advice feel free to email me Bestsoylotta@yahoo.com

39. QUESTION:
    Can someone give me some good advices for weight loss i already lost 40 pounds and i have to lose about 10?
    Give me information how can i lose 10 pounds in 1 month.
    I train a lot and everything but give me some good tips about diet and cardio i really wanna cut my self to the end.
    And also i bought vinyl sauna suit can it help me for weight loss,thx everyone

    • ANSWER:
      The question is, do you really NEED to lose that weight? Where are you on the BMI chart? Are you already below 15%?

      The thinner you are, the harder it is to lose weight. And you probably don't want to if you are already at your minimum BMI.

      When you rely on artificial means of weight loss, it won't be permanent, so have fun with that sauna suit, but don't use it to lose weight.

      The bottom line is, don't be in a hurry to lose the weight. Eat healthy food and work on your strength training. In the long run, developing muscle tissue helps you to have a faster metabolism, and you will be able to maintain your ideal body weight more easily.

      Good luck!

40. QUESTION:
    Sudden Weight Loss (20 Pounds in 2 months)?
    Hi guys.

    First of all, I'm "5'11" and I weigh 250 pounds.

    Ok, here's my question. I haven't weighed myself since august, the last time I went to a doctor. When they weighed me, I found out that at the time I was 270 pounds. Tonight, I decided to weigh myself to see how much I gained/lost and it said 250 pounds. A 20 pound weight loss in two months. I'm kind of freaking out because I really haven't done anything to lose it.

    Some Things to consider:

    On tuesday's and thursdays I go to a community college from 9 AM to 6 PM. I do a ton of walking while I'm there, and I usually eat very little during the day. Even when I get home on those days I don't really eat much for some reason.

    I don't diet, but I have been cutting back on the junk that I have been eating.

    I drink a lot of soda, probably about 3-4 cans a day.

    Is this weight loss warranted based off of my recent activity?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, if your metabolism is sort of "hyper" the walking could cause a fairly decent amount of weight-loss, now factoring that in with your rare eating habits it is no wonder that you are losing weight at that pace.

      If it is bothering you could try eating just a tad more so that you can maintain a healthy weight.

41. QUESTION:
    Do you think a weight loss of 7-8 pounds would be noticeable on me?
    I am 25, 5'4 and weigh 117. I'm trying to get down to between 108-110 (this is healthy, I have a very small bone structure and yes I can stand to lose it.) Do you think 7-8 pounds would be a noticeable weight loss?

    Thanks!
    Miss J, what did you do? Thanks!
    I'm already pretty toned in my arms and legs but my stomach could use some fat loss

    • ANSWER:
      yes, definitely. You would see a big difference. I weighed about 118lbs. and I lost 10 lbs and it was a huge difference in how my clothes fit and even how my face looked

42. QUESTION:
    15 pounds weight loss, help!?!?
    I started to lose weight at the end of May 2006 and by mid-September I weighed around 128 lbs, down from 161. Now I am back up to about 140; I've been under a lot of stress lately which is the main factor for the gain, and I haven't been able to exercise as much as I'd like either. I used to not eat much, but now I can hardly seem to stop. I want to start a strict, effective diet in order to lose the weight again, I'd like to be under 125 (I'm 5'4 1/2). I'm considering starting Atkins; will this be fairly quick weight loss? I need to lose some pounds soon in order to boost my self-esteem, I'm really hating myself these days. Rapid weight loss ideas may be best for me right now despite obvious health concerns. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Don't do atkins, in the long run it'll cause heart damage and brain disease. Its not suprising that atkins himself died of a heart attack. If you simply need a meal plan, weight loss program go with south beach, but follow it closely. It'll jump start your metablolism, but you need to follow it and realize that you can't lose it all at once. Its about changing how you eat as well as what you eat. Its better to lose 15lb a year and keep it off than to lose 15lb in a month and have 20lb of gained weight the next month.

43. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      That is fantastic. Wow, okay so you've done little things to reward yourself. But you have lost a lot of weight. You say that you are going on a cruise soon? Why don't you go and rehaul your wardrobe? Buy at least one complete outfit for sunbathing, partying, dinner, etc. But don't do it by yourself, maybe invite a friend to go with you and definately ask a shop attendant for help (that is what they're there for). That way you can be sure that what you get shows you off to your best advantage.

45. QUESTION:
    What is a good weight loss plan to lose 20 pounds by August 31st?
    What are the best exercises to do to trigger this weight loss, and what are the best foods to eat?

    • 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.

47. QUESTION:
    How many pounds do you have to lose to notice weight loss?
    I'm 5' 8" and over the past 4 weeks, I've lost 16 pounds. However, I don't really notice any clear difference in the shape of my body.

    I was 203 pounds, and now I'm 187.

    How many more pounds must I lose before actually seeing real weight loss results.
    Edit: I'M NOT A FEMALE!

    • ANSWER:
      As a rule of thumb Im 5 ft 5 I drop a dress size every 10lbs or so. I find people comment when youve lost two dress sizes.

      Also its very hard to see your body changing so it is absolutely vital you measure your waist, chest etc measurements say every two weeks, then you know its changing. Keep a diary.

      Exercise is the best way to make sure you lose as much of the weight from fat. That makes you look even better for every pound lost.

      Addnl: Dont think it makes any difference if youre f or m, my guess to go from 36 in waist to a 34 in is 10lbs or so and I only really notice when my husband has put on a stone or so or loses it.

      All other advice still stands

49. QUESTION:
    Excirsising 2 hours everyday, and eating healthy.. ACHIVE 2-3 POUNDS OF WEIGHT LOSS EACH WEELK?
    i excirsize intensly, 2 hours everyday from my sport practices... if i also watch what i eat and eat more veggies/fruit... could this be enough for a 2-3 pound weight loss each week?

    • ANSWER:
      Sure, you could lose 2 - 3 lbs a week on this program. The critical part of the whole thing is consistency -- if you train hard every day (but don't overdo it -- overtraining can negate any progress), eat correctly (I would recommend a nutritionist if you have the money and don't want to make any mistakes), and get plenty of rest (recovery is critical to any training program, and stress doesn't help matters at all), 2 - 3 lbs is definitely possible every week.

      Just keep in mind that some weeks will be better than others. That is, sometimes you might lose less than 2 - 3 lbs, sometimes a bit more. (keep in mind that as you lose weight, at some point the body will start to fight you because it doesn't want to see you lose too much weight too quickly -- it's simply the body's way of protecting itself)

      Just be stubborn about it and you should see results. Be safe, be smart about it -- and good luck to you!
