Hi there, ok heres my problem.. kinda, anyways ive started working out, 1 month exactly, just to tone up and make a new lifestyle. This is what ive been doing.. 3 classes a week of indoor cycling, one step class, one pilates class, one stability ball class. And on weekends i do out door activities. Now ive been told sooooo many times to eat at least 1500 calories a day to tone up and shead a couple pounds but i can't seem to eat that much, don't get me wrong… i do eat very heathly, i just don't think i consume that much. Now do you think this will affect my toning up and weight loss? and do you think i will still get a results in like 4 months…, if i keep this routine up? thanks for reading this 
If you cant manage 1500 then dont force your self. If your body is telling you it doesnt want any more then listen to it. Your going about exercise in the correct way. If you do the same activities (ie running 35mins every day for example) your body does become fitter and you will loose weight however it adapts to this activity fairly quickly and no further weight will be lost but rather maintain a level weight. However, doing very varied exercise will keep the body guessing and there for will not adapt into one form of exercsie helping you loose weight.
With calouries, its very important that your body doesnt adopt starvation mode. This is when your body is uncertain of when the next meal is OR if you are in negative calories (burning more then you are taking in). If this happens your body will automatically store food as back up fat reserves. Haveing 5 small but nutrious meals through out the day will help. If you start at 9:00, 12:00, 13:00, 15:00, 18:00 21:00 (the meal at 21:00 will be a light friut snack and try not to eat carbs after 17:00) this will not only help with the extra colorie intake you need but also helps your body not clock into starvation mode. It will also help you to loose weight as your metabolism will also be constantly stimulated. It is important that you keep to this 5 meal aday as a routine and not to miss meals.(or pick inbetween them)
I hope this helps, best of luck !

I'm 13, and I'm not overweight but I am above average and deffinitely not thin. I'm going the healthy way and want to add some really good workouts to my regimen. I can't exactly buy anything that is obviously a weight loss tool because my parents would think I'm an ego-obsessed freak…however I do already have a heat building yoga workout. Are there any online free videos/websites that you know of? Are there any poses? I just want to look pretty for my graduation =] Thanks
13 year olds aren't suppose to lose weight, they are suppose to get taller. Try walking, running, jumping rope and biking. You can use a pull up bar to keep your back strait and strengthen your upper body. Eat plenty of fresh color-full vegetables, get enough sleep and don't focus on perfection. When it comes to makeup it can really mess up your skin. Everyone wants baby soft skin, no one wants gloppy face. Drink lots of water.

My goal is to start working out tomorrow and I really only need to lose 30 pounds to be at a healthy weight. So my questions are:
1) What machines do you recomend and how long should I work out for on my first day?
2) How often should I up my work out time?
3) What foods should I avoid?
4) How long will it take roughly to lose 30 pounds?
5)I'm thinking that because I'm 23 and not really over weight it will be easy to lose 30 pounds or am I kidding myself?
5) Any other advice you have for me (a soon to be former couch potato) would be greatly accepted.
from memory, body 4 life recommends small meals, maybe 5 to 6 a day. only good carbs, like whole wheat bread, yogurt, bake potato's. good protein like fat-free cottage cheese, grilled or boiled chicken, tuna in water, all natural peanut butter, turkey meat. two or three portions of fruit and veggies a day.
the work out regimen was upper body one day, aerobic the next, lower body the next, aerobic the next for six days. one day off. it was five sets of weights in a progression format (i.e. 8lbs 10 times, 10 lbs 8 times, etc.), and interval aerobics. it is a good book. i never could stick with it to gain muscle. you can try reading dr.john berardi too. he seems like he knows what he is talking about in his newsletters and a book he co-authored.

I am a mother of two and I am having a really hard time trying to lose weight. I have tried everything and spent the $$$$ to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do??
Thanks
Diet and exercise. I have also spent so much money on pills, doctors, colon cleansing, lymphnode drainage. Not because I am so over weight but because I hit a plateau. See a nutritionist, once. Tell them you want a healthy eating plan that is easy to maintain. Make sure the foods work together so you don't have to buy such a variety of groceries. Also make sure you want just a plan so they don't suck your cash up. I never enjoyed exercise videos but abs of steel is so amazing. I used it at my thinnest times. Your kids can play in the living room while you are on your back or standing and each exercise is only fifteen minutes. If you have time or preferrably, a local gym with child care, get there and get to running. Cardio is a major key.

My health insurance will not pay for the lappband and I have bad credit so I can't get a loan. Does anyone know if there is any kind of help I can get to have this surgery?
Try to raise money other ways–through friends and relatives. Not loans, but a series of small gifts that will add up to what you need. Find a surgeon who will finance the operation (let you pay his/her office over time).
I've made this suggestion to other people:
Have a big party. Put out a donation jar. Have poker, blackjack or dart (or whatever your friends play) tournaments–winner gets 50% of the pot, you get 50%. Have Tupperware and Body Shop and other consultants sell items at the party–ask your friends to "round up" their orders and you get the difference (if order is $20.39, pay $21) and get the consultants to donate a percentage of their profit to you also (you must have consultants for something as friends). If you know someone in a band, have them play at the party to bring in more people and more money. Put up a web page and ask for paypal donations–sounds silly but it works for a lot of people.
I had a party like that to raise money for my brother to move to California and he got a few thousand out of it. We even got area businesses that we frequent to donate the food.
You can also go to Mexico to get it done. A lot cheaper, but no follow up if something goes wrong.
I wonder why your surgeon's office isn't helping you get insurance approval? Most of them do that. Find another surgeon. Look on the obesity help website.

Does anyone do webinars as social support groups? It would be way cheaper than gertting people to come into a clinic. I guess I am thinking of group therapy by webinar? Think weight loss support groups or a stop smoking intervention. It should be cheap to implement, yet still allow the advantages of interaction among group members?
I think it is a great idea. I know that many 12 step organizations run online meetings and they function and help very well.
I also know a Psychotherapist who does online counseling for sexual addictions. This protects the clients anonymity and helps them to feel safer and be more open.
I knew someone a few years back who did online counseling for women with eating disorders. I have wanted to try and do something like this myself.
Are you a counselor? If you have the expertise to set up the technical part of a webinar I would love to be a part of it.
I have been a therapist for many years as well as a client. I have mostly worked with eating disordered adults and trauma survivors. When I first got on the internet, around 11 years ago, I began looking for this type of thing. That is how I found the other situations I listed above. But that is all I have found.
I do not have my email open for Yahoo Answers but I will put it out here for this question because I am so interested. suzqisme2@yahoo.com
Thank you,

I've taken some time and researched some of the most popular product to try to find the answers for you. The truth is, most products won't help you lose anything but money. There are a few, however, with some research behind them that prove that they actually work.

Hello, I'm looking to lose some weight, and have a friend who suggested the Hydroxycut pill for results. Does anyone know about this weight loss pill (side effects…etc) Please let me know =)
Side effects: Higher metabolism, Higher heart rate, Nausea, Upset Stomach, Cold Sweats
I have used it and saw results. I gained 5 lbs but my body fat percentage dropped about 4.5%. The thing is, NONE of the fat loss supplements will work without putting stress on the body. The body adapts to stress. You have to exercise and eat right for any of the pills to benefit you.

I see the advertisements for the book "Weight Loss Cure" by Kevin Trudeau. I would like to know is it really worth the money spending? Does it really work, and what is the big weight loss secret that is within the book?
My friend at work bought that book and tried that diet. Said it sucked. There is no big secret to weight loss. Figure out how many calories your need for you. Portion control and eat a healthy diet of whole grains and lots of veggies and fruit. Drink water! It's one of the most important things for you. 5 to 6 small meals a day. So as not to spike your insulin levels. Read food labels and limit the soda's and junk food. Especially watch foods with high fructose corn syrup. Moderation has always been the key, and finally EXERCISE! Less in…. (food) and more out….(exercise) is the key to weight loss.

I saw an ad for a weight loss dance program on Fox Reality the other night. I wanted to look into it, read some reviews and stuff, but I don't remember what it was called. I might recognize it if I saw the name, any idea?
i already tried googling it, i couldn't find anything on it.
Why don't you try googling Fox Reality Weight Loss.
