Ruth asks…

How to talk to my fiancé about losing weight?

My fiancé and I have been together for almost two years now and over that time she has gained a decent amount of weight. I find that it’s becoming harder and harder to be attracted to her as she keeps gaining weight. The thing that bothers me most however is that I am worried for her health in the future. We plan to have kids and I don’t want her to have to sit on the side line while they grow up because she gets worn out to easily. I want her to be able to enjoy her life and bring unhealthy isnt going to help her in doing that. Another thing is I enjoy being physically active but find it hard to do things with her. I like to go walking and running and she doesn’t feel the same. I have tried to invite her with me and do things that aren’t just for health but also allow us to have fun and spend good quality time together. We have started eating better but as soon as we do she eats candy or drinks pop. I don’t know what to do and feel as though there will be no end. I love her very much but this weight thing is going to really come in the way for the rest of our lives.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Women will think you shallow for not loving her for who & what she is, & not because of her weight or appearance. However, you said it in your question. You enjoy being healthy & physically active. She doesn’t. A major difference in lifestyle choices would normally split people apart, but you “love her very much” which means you must be a captive to what she wants in this relationship. You want to marry her, so you must learn to love her no matter how big she gets, or be prepared to move on. Sorry, you can’t change the facts.

William asks…

What is the best method, healthy or unhealthy to lose the fat?

I am a 27 year old male, I work as a bouncer. I have alot of muscle, but I want to lose the fat. I am 6’1” , and weigh in about 340lbs. I want to shed this as quck as I can, and I do work out. I eat twice a day, and have lowered my portions. I don’t drink alot of water however, mainly ice tea. My arms measure 13” around, of pure rock hard muscle, but my gut area is out of control. Any suggestions?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:
http://www.webmd.com/content/article/86/99147.htm
http://www.webmd.com/content/pages/18/102117.htm

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Betty asks…

Any good exercise tips and good foods to help me lose weight? Help please!?

I want to know some good exercise work outs for legs, thighs and arms. Also some good foods, like good dinners or good breakfasts. Any good tips for me to help lose weight. Btw, i’m 5’3 and 135 pounds, Dont judge. Thank you(:

weight loss cardiff answers:

1. Walking – If the weather is nice, it’s wonderful to get outside and enjoy the scenery around you while you exercise. However, if the weather has other ideas, you can just as easily get an effective walking workout at home. If you have a flight of stairs, go up and down them a few times. (You could even grab a load of laundry as you’re going that way anyway!) This will help to tone up your legs, while getting some low impact aerobic exercise as well. If you don’t have any stairs available, just walk around the house a few times – it may not be very exciting, but it will do the job!

2. Jumping Jacks – These are always fun, as they bring back memories of being a kid! Who hasn’t done jumping jacks for fun as a child? Well, surprise – they are also great cardio exercises, and good for warming up, too.

3. Pushups – These are probably not the most favorite exercise of many people, but while they can be hard to do, you can find easier ways to do them. You don’t need to pretend you’re “Rocky”, and do them with one hand; just do what works for you. Do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them standing up against a wall. You will be building up arm strength and working out muscles in your chest area.

4. Leg Lifts – These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight, try bending them slightly.

5. Crunches – The best exercise for building up and strengthening abdominal muscles. When you’re just getting started, don’t worry about getting your head all the way up. So long as you’re going up until you feel the stretching of the muscles, you will see some benefit.

6. Jogging In Place – Jogging is a great exercise for your heart. You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music. The only equipment you will require is a good pair of shoes, to eliminate any stress to your legs.

7. Squats – These are wonderful exercises for your legs and buttocks. You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair, if you’re finding them to be too difficult. As long as you’re able to do a few repetitions, you will be providing some benefit to your body.

8. Light Weight Lifting – No, you don’t need to go out and buy expensive weights for this! Just use whatever you can find in your house. Start out with something lighter, such as a can of peas, and work yourself up to heavier items. You can use milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles or even water jugs.

9. Dancing – Dancing is a wonderful exercise, which is great for your heart. Not only that, but it can lift your spirits as well, and give your overall feeling a boost.

10. Step Exercises – Using the steps in your home, you can do repetitions which will tone your leg muscles. (Just remember to be careful!)

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Ken asks…

Should I start doing body weight exercises now or when I reach a healthy bmi?

I’m female, 16, 5’8.5″, 183lbs & 39% body fat. I’m losing weight through a calorie deficit and using my elliptical cross trainer and walking. I use weights once a week when I have pe at school- like 5lb dumbbells. Should I start doing things like sit ups, push ups, crunches, ab workouts now? Or when
I reach a healthy weight (162)? Thanks

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes, you certainly should.

There’s no reason that overweight people should not do resistance / weight exercise.

Also, although you’re overweight, you’re young and you’re not that overweight–not enough to worry about whether exercise is safe (unless you have other medical problems).

I’m a huge fan of resistance exercise / weights. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so people with more muscle burn more calories. Also, muscle looks better and takes up less volume. I go through periods where I am lazy about weight-lifting, and my body looks much lumpier, bigger, and less healthy during those periods. I feel great when I have more muscle because my posture is better and I’m stronger. Definitely get yourself on a routine. You’ll notice a huge difference.

The downside is that you may find that your appetite increases. If you do a lot of resistance exercise, you will probably find that you’ll get tired more easily and that it is harder to complete your aerobic (walking, elliptical) routine. But if you can stick it out while your body is getting used to doing weights, you’ll start feeling better and seeing results.

Ask your PE teacher or hire a personal trainer from the local gym for a few hours to show you how to do crunches, etc, correctly. You don’t want to hurt your back or you’ll find it hard to stick with exercise. In fact, if I were you, I’d try and join a gym so that you have access to weight machines. There may be discounts available for people your age. Ask your PE teacher to help you look into gyms–or maybe even use school equipment for free. Good luck.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Lisa asks…

how to lose weight easily?

im 14, about 5’4 and maybe 15lbs overwieght. wat can i do (im not that good at exercising other than maybe basketball after school)

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi there,

I think you might be getting a little mixed up with what you want exactly. You say that you want to lose “weight” but that means you might want to get rid of some muscle too. You then say that you’d like to “shape” (I’d call it tone) your body a little which implies you want to build some muscle. I’m not trying to pick at your question – I just want to clarify the point for you.

To answer it in the best way, I am going to look at it as if you want to get rid of fat AND build muscle at the same time. If you’re looking to “trim” and “tone” your body, and espectially because you suggest you are not that overweight, I would suggest you start performing more intensive aerobic exercises such as jogging. I wouldn’t think you need to change the whole way you eat or go on a diet because if you’re wanting to build muscles – it’s better to do it all with exercise.

Exercises like jogging won’t exactly “build” your muscles on your stomach but they will help reduce the extra fat around there. Depending on how fit you are, you should go on daily or bi-daily jogs of around a mile. To build muscles, you should concentrate on anaerobic exercises such as sit-ups to help build muscles.

These muscle-building exercises will give your muscles the toning and training they need to grow and become more prominent. To start to see a real difference with sit-ups, you should be looking to do no more than 100 every day (more than that will often hurt your muscles).

If you stick to doing those two forms of exercise – jogging and sit-ups, you should see real improvements in a week or two. Remember, you should do them as often as you can (I.E every single day).

Linda asks…

How can I lose weight easily?

I don’t want to lose like tones of weight, I just really want to tone up. I’m an extremely fussy eating and honestly am petrified of food as everybody in my family is allergic to something and I’m scared that if I find something I am what kind of things can happen!
I just want to tone up my belly and my bum can people PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me I’m desperate.

I try to exercise, but I suffer with really bad asthma, so after about 15 minutes i’m completely out of breath, even after I take my inhalers and drink lots of water.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I would use the elliptical! 🙂 they don’t make you breathe heavily like the treadmill! Not at all. Sometimes you cannot even tell you’re excersizing, but you are TONING your thighs and legs/calves, losing back fat and eventually belly fat too. I would lift as well. Lifting light weights contributes to minor fat loss on the arms and legs combined with adequate cardio (in your case elliptical easy cardio) and then you will look more defined, not like a twig, not flabby either. As far as eating, i cant help you with that, im a person on Yahoo answers. I have no clue what you are allergic too, but if youre worried about POSSIBLY being allergic to stuff, that’s dumb. My mom is deathly allergic to shrimp, my dad to bees, my cousin to peanuts, why would i care if they are allergic to something, it’s hardly heriditary if random members of your family are allergic to foods, even if you are all you would have to do is get some benadril cause the first time you don’t die, you just get a scratchy throat. If you’re seriously worried to to the doctor and they will give you allergy food tests, i.e., have you eat a peanut in front of them and if you swell up they give you meds

Tips on LOSING WEIGHT???

For the past two weeks all ive been eating is tuna, soup and salad and drinking nothing but water. And i havent seemed to lose any weight at all. Ive also been on the treadmill for the past 4 days for 45 min. I know i should stick to it for a while to see any results but i havent even lost atleast a pound.
