I need to lose 22 pounds of body fat, fast.
I’m taking diet pills already, and I’m losing weight.
But I’m not keeping it off.
Last week I weighed 150, three days ago, I weighed 142, and yesterday, I weighed 146.
So here are my questions.
What are the fastest weight loss exercises that you know of? What should I burn (calorie wise) per day?
Is it better to eat a big(healthy) breakfast, a medium (healthy) lunch, and a small (healthy) dinner, or small (healthy) snacks throughout the day?
My BMI is 23.1, so I’m in the 85th percentile.
That’s on the verge of being overweight.
It’s desirable/moderate weight, but I want to be lean.
To a very high degree, you should weigh as much as you feel happy with weighing.
As far as a "healthy weight", that’s what most of the other posts are about (calculating your BMI, diet plans, etc)…. but most people will say what the "average" is according to different opinions.
As long as you are at a weight where you are healthy, the most important part is that you are HAPPY with your weight… not that you "should be X pounds", but that no matter what you weigh, you are happy with that instead of striving to be a size 2 or something like that
That being said, if you want to lose weight, exercise is a really good (and safe) way to lose weight. In addition to that, I would recommend meeting with a nutritionist or dietitian to see if there is something else that may benefit you more

I eat no dairy, meat, fish, etc… A normal days food for me is a banana or cereal for breakfast, pasta and chopped tomatoes for lunch and salad for dinner, sometimes with a baked potato.
I have lost around 6lb in the past month, and I am stuck at the weight I am now. But dont have a great deal of time for exercise, I try to do at least 3 hours a week.
I recently bought 2 packs of Evomine-X "Fat Burner" pills and I was wondering if they work or if not what are the dangers of them? I’ve not tried them yet, and would like some advice before I start taking them. I feel a bit stupid if I’ve fallen for the product info and they dont work but I’m desperate to lose a bit more weight!
I also bought a 10-day pack of diet tablets this is the description: Jimpness Beauty fat loss capsule is a combination of traditional medicine and modern techniques. It chooses stem, leaf, bud and fruit of different plants, and bamboo vinegar without any pollution of its raw material. Function: Weight loss, extra energy, helps to stop you snacking,elimination of toxics and skin care.
If either of these work I would be interested in hearing about them, if not could you tell me any experience of them or dangers. Thanks.
My sister recently tried the Evomine-X pills and seen no results at all. I recommended the metabo extreme fat burning pill I have previously used and seen amazing results. I used the metabo for about a month and lost 10 pounds and kept it off without changing my routine. My sister is currently 4 days into the month course and lost 4lbs already. I would definately recommend metabo rather than Exvomine-X from personal experience.

Hello,
I have currently been on a fat loss program for around a few months. To be precise, october - January.
My question today is, how long will it take for me, to visually see fat reduction results.
I’ll start off by what i’ve been doing
I’m just under 6 foot. I’m 17 years old, and I weigh around 10 stones (140 pounds) -
Point 1 : Workout
A total of 90 minutes a day
60 minutes cardio
15 minutes weights
15 minute crunches
Cardio = Dance/Work Out (Stretching/movement/workout dvd in general) and 30 minutes jogging
Weights = Basic Weight lifting and weights w/ stretches
Crunches = Abdominal Crunches such as sit ups and twists
Diet. General Meal Plan:
Breakfast = Hot Oats/Porridge
Morning Snack = Fruit (1 portion)
Lunch = Wholemeal Sandwhich, generally plain wholemeal bread
Afternoon Snack = Fruit (2 portions)
Dinner = Meat or Chicken w/ Pasta/Rice/Potatoes and others (
Evening Snack = Fruit (1-2 Portions + Yoghurt)
I tend to eat Potatoes/Lettuce when I can, i’m not a huge fan of vegetables, I’ve tried to endure it but I end up throwing it all back up.
—-
I’m here on yahoo today as I’m uncertain.
I’ve been working for around 3-4 months and i’ve yet to see a visible change.
I have begun taking some acai supplements but I’ve only been using them for a short time (2 days)
I really just want to know when I will lose this stomach fat.
I find myself feeling upset and depressed because of this. I don’t look fat on the outside (clothed) but I am fat when i’m naked, I can squeeze my stomach and feel the fat.
it makes me feel horrible and I hate looking at my stomach.
I just want to know how and when I will see this fat visibly being gone.
I want to lose the fat, I’m not too bothered about a 6 pack, I’d just like a nicely toned smooth stomach.
I’m really not happy about my stomach and I have been trying my best to lose the fat but I can’t see a visual result.
I appreciate anyhelp I get with this.
Wow - that’s long question. Here’s a short answer:
Situps - 50 a day for a month.
Pressups - 50 a day for a month.
Drink - home-made fruit smoothies every day for a month.
Eat - less bread/rice/potato, and more fruit/veg/white meats, every day for a month.
Do this, get thin.

Hi There,
At the moment i’m exercising hard 3 times a week for 45mins-1hr, as well as doing 3 lots of light/medium exercising with 1 rest day. My workout revolves around heavy bag/boxing work, bench/curl/squat/dumb-bell weights work, stationary/mountain bike riding and mundane stuff like pushups, crunches, jogging/walking etc. I’ve lost around 10 kilograms so far and seemed to have put on a little muscle but i want to intensify the results i’m getting.
Currently i take L-Carnitine, Tribulus [BSc Vandrabol] and BSc LipoBurn [Caffeine/Stimulant/Diuretic]. I purchased Creatine Ethyl Ester but didn’t like what i’d read about it’s effect on the kidneys [whether it's true or not, it spooked me].
What i want to know is this: What works best for stripping fat and adding muscle? Do all these Branch Chain Amino Acids & Supplements do any good? If so which ones would suit my goal? What workout routine would aide my goal of fat loss/muscle gain?
I eat healthy. no junk, and drink minimal amounts of alcohol, lots of water etc. I just want to up my energy levels and intensify my results. Any advice/experience you have to offer would be appreciated.
cheers in advance your workout is not bad at all.. but i think u are working too many muscles at once.
you should only train two muscles a workout
try working out 4 - 5 days a week for 40 - 60 mins… one or two muscles a workout
the supplments you should be taking are whey protein, glutamine, and some vitamin C, and vitamin D.. whey protein is always neccesary.. always…. glutamine is neccesary…. those other supplments u take.. they should only be cycled on and off.. get on them and get off them… 6- 8 weeks on.. and 5 - 6 weeks off..
too many supplments when taken in high does.. and for tooo long can be harder on your body…
if u are interested in burning fat… keep doing your cardio 30 - 40 mins 4 times a week..
your workout
chest mon
tue biceps triceps
wed back
thur shoulders
fri legs
3 - 4 exercises per muscle 4 sets each….

Hi, I’m 16 yrs old and I’ve tried everything out there! Rather if it’s diet pills, supplements, or taking the hollywood drink. Tried it and it didnt work! So, I need to lose some fat on my belly and love handles and back, and I really need some advice to what is the best fat loss diet product out there! If you tried it and it worked, suggest it, PLEASE! Thanks!
Low Fat Foods don’t work
You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.
Low Calorie Diets don’t work
You won’t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body’s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt — known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.
Low Carb Plans don’t work
You’ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

its a bad picture i just took it lol
First of all, you are NOT fat. You’re 14 … as you go through adolesence, you will be changing. Don’t focus on the number on the scale. Instead focus on how healthy you feel.
Playing tennis should help you slim down, and you can also do core exercises to tone your middle.

I am 210 down from about 223 in the past few weeks. I am 32 and about 5 foot 5 inches. I really want to maximise my weight loss in the run up to christmas and I feel I have my diet under control and am eating 6 small clean meals a day totalling about 1200 to 1500 calories a day.
I feel a bit lost with my work out plan though. I got a book by Michael Thurmond who advises to stick to long moderate exercise (such as walking briskly on the treadmill or outdoors with no incline) and 3 sessions of weight training a week. The people he works seem to get really great results but it goes against the more typical advice of doing interval training. I think that Thurmond’s idea is that interval training is good for fitness but bad for weight loss as it takes you out of the maximum fat burning zone. I do want to get really fit but I’d really like to focus on fat loss at the moment. Which method do you think is best?
Please no spam, all spam is reported.
Tae bo works for me. There are programs that focus on cardio as well as others that do core training, etc. The cardio, however, is a great work out and in addition to burning fat, you also build muscle. I’ve also heard that P90X is a great program, though very rigorous.

Hello,
I am your average teenage male, with a slight weight problem. I’ve been told that I’m "Pregnant" so it seems to me that its starting to be a problem (the weight). I have some health issues that I believe to be due to the weight. These include: Back aches, Knee problems, and Asama.
I would like to be leaner and more athletic without having to go to the gym. I do not have very many gym equipment, and the machines that I do have are very outdated.
I want to look good for the Eighth grade dance (which is in a year), but would enjoy to look better within a few months.
These are my statistics:
Age:………13
Weight:….188
Height:……65"
Abdomen:.39"
Fat %: …..36
Water %:..45.5
Thanks for the advice!
You stated that you have a slight weight problem. First to lose weight and keep it off, you have to lose it as slow as you gained it. There are a few simple things you can do that will drastically help. Don’t use the word DIET it’s tells your brain you are going to go without something. Cut out fatty foods that most people eat every day such as potato chips, you can replace these with Sun Chips that are baked not fried. Cut out french fries, hamburgers, bacon, sausage, candy bars are limited to about 2 a month, limit bread products to 2 slices a day or comparison. Cut out as much soft drinks as you can. Limit it to one a week. I hate water, but drink it, it will help your body flush out fat that you don’t use or need. Eat smaller portions of pasta products. Do other things to keep busy. I have bad knees and a spine disorder and also have asthma, a heart condition and I’m diabetic. I mow the lawn 10 minutes, break 15 minutes. I don’t like it, but its good for me. I volunteer at the local Salvation Army, the more you move, the better. Computer, video games, and TV will only help add the problem, limit those and replace them with more active movement. I like construction, so I work on my house and build small things. Find things that peak your interest. My doctor recommended because of my knees to ride a bike instead of walking. Find foods that are simple rather than complex. Back to basics, low in processed foods…eat fresh fruit, veggies, when hungry and it’s not time for a meal. Bran cereal is good with keeping your system going too. Good luck! I was 350 lbs three years ago, and I’m now 275 lbs. Iose about 2 lbs a month on a regular basis, and I’m never hungry. I know it’s slow, but I’ve not gained anything back. It’s become a way of life and in 3 years I will be at my weight goal, no suffering.

I am currently doing Weight Watchers & I am doing OK…I am still breast feeding my daughter so I have been allocated a pretty hight daily points amount so it is slow going but that is OK as I am still losing weight…whenever my Aunt sees me she always tries to give me advice on what I SHOULD be doing to lose weight…she says things like "If you’re not hungry then its not working" & "You shouldn’t be eating that, you should just have a salad & some water"…
She doesn’t understand how weight watchers works & thinks that the only way to lose weight is to starve yourself. What really annoys me is that she is pretty overweight herself. Sure, back in the day she was slim & hot but now she is big & not (hot)!
So how do I stop her from making comments without offending her?
ELECHEART: My daughter is now over 12 months old & has dropped her feeds down to 1 or 2 overnight & 1 when she wakes up…Weight Watchers do take this into account & I have to add an additional 7 points per day for the extra pressure on my body. I made a point of not worrying about my body & how it looked up until now because I didn’t want to be worrying about a small baby & trying to lose weight but I feel like I am ready now. I have reached a stage where I am really ready to be doing soething for myself again & losing weight is something I need to do for myself…so I can feel better about the way I look. My husband has been completely supportive & has said that he loves me no matter what I weigh but I just don’t feel attractive anymore & I want to be happy with what I see in the mirror again!
I get your point but I am not doing anything drastic or silly to lose this weight so I am not in any way compromising my health or the quality of my breast milk! Thank you for worrying!
Do the weight loss programme the way you want to.Keep at it even if it takes a bit of time.Tell your Aunt you are doing it the way you are taught to by weight watches.Watch her face when you achieve your goal.Remember if you loose weight to quick then you can gain it back twice as fast so loose it slowly .All the best.
