What are the fastest weight loss plans and ways to rid of red stretch marks?

I had my first child and the weight quickly went away and now it’s back! I’m anxious to get rid of it and fast! And these crazy red stretch marks on my thighs… Please Help!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi. The best one I have successful and have lasted for three years is Jenny Craig. Why? For me it was the specific eating plan thru the day. WARNING: a 1500 calorie diet may give you headaches or may make you feel weak initially. It will go away as your body transitions. While the JC program makes you buy their food for me it was worthwhile as it taught me how little I have to eat to lose and maintaining the weight off. You will be surprised how many calories are on restaurant food (I now seldom eat out and when I do I share or bring home most of it). About the stretch marks, I still have some from my overweight years. There are medical treatment available so you need to consult with medical specialists on this issue on treatment applicable to your skin and situation. You do need to dedicate a year, at least, to bring down the weight, to adjust your eating habits then the rest of your life working daily to fight off temptation. Check out DVD Pilates or yoga programs that you can do at home and establish a routine so you will not forget. This is not easy but it does work and the rewards (nice healthy looking body) are very nice. Good luck..

please no rude comments, it’s just a waste of time!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I am just like you !
I’m 13 tho.

You can eat really healthy cause that way you won’t put weight on.
Do you have a trampoline ? If so jump 300 times on it, it’s really fun!
If not, go walking 3 times a week and than jogging.
Even climbing the stairs makes a difference, it’s better than nothing.
Also when watching television try and jog for at least 5 minutes.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Michael asks…

Im doing an online weight loss calculator, and they asked me to write in my Daily calorie differential?

I plan on eating only 500 cals a day, so what would make my daily calorie differential be?

weight loss cardiff answers:

To calculate your daily calorie differential you first need your BMR ( a calculator has been provided below in sources.) The BMR is about how many calories you would burn doing nothing all day.

Next you need how many calories you burn through exercise, (second link under sources, used to calculate how many calories burned through various exercises, based off weight and minutes done exercising).

And you wanted to cut down to 500 calories, (Eating this few calories a day could be very unhealthy and you will see limited gains because you need to lose weight slowly if you really want to keep it off!) I have included a third calculator that tells you how many calories you should eat if you want to lose x number of pounds per week.

Finally to figure out your daily calorie differential you would plug your numbers into the following equation:

Calories Consumed – (BMR + exercise) = Differential.

If your BMR and exercise combined is larger than your calories consumed the differential should be a negative value, thus you will need to draw energy from fat reserves and some muscle, and lose weight.

This should be done in the conjunction of eating smaller healthier meals 5-6 per day, (if you eat all your calories from fat or high carbohydrates results will be limited.) Eating more meals will keep your metabolism constantly going!

Good luck at meeting your goals.

Lisa asks…

Anyone know of a good weight loss calculator?

I need one tha will allow me to put in how many pounds i will be losing each week or how many calories im consuming. I want to see how long this will take me.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Dont believe in those stuff. The best ways to see your improvement are:
1. See yourself in a mirror if things have improved.
2. Compare your pictures before and after
3. Feel if your pants, blouses, undies, and bra make a difference.
4. Use tape measure on your waisteline
5. Use weighing scale (not at all times because muscles are more densed than fat)
goodluck Lebs.

Charles asks…

Does anyone know any good weight loss tips?

I’ve been struggling for the past few months to drop the last few pounds I need to fit in my cheer uniform from last year. Does anybody know any good, fast, sufficient weight loss tips that can help me drop 10-15 pounds by at least January? Please help!

weight loss cardiff answers:

The best advice I could ever give you is losing weight takes time. If you’ve tried and failed many times (which is what I am going through), you have to start slowly. Maybe start cutting out bad things in your diet little by little. You can’t expect to go from eating sugary processed foods and not exercising much to extreme healthy eating and exercising 7 days a week in one day, or even one week. You have to learn to control yourself and that means start small and keep everything under control. Another VERY important thing to remember is to NEVER EVER EVER give up! No matter if you go a whole week eating junk foods and not exercising, that does not mean you have to give up and never reach your goals. Just think, well, next week I’ll do better and get back on track. You have to believe you can do it. You have to want it for yourself and no one else.

Exercise at least 5 times per week. I suggest strength training and cardio. Let’s say Monday you walk/run for 30 minutes, then Tuesday you would do push ups and sit ups and planks, and squats and then take a break Wednesday and start back up on Thursday.

As far as your eating you really need to watch what you eat! That is the most important step. Portion control is important. If you normally get a big dinner, then cut the amount of food you get in half and that will help a lot. Another way is to get your plate and only eat 3/4 of the food you have on your plate.

Eating healthy, lean meats, whole grain breads, and staying away from sugary things and high calorie foods. Always remember that cutting out something bad with something healthy really makes a difference. Drinking sodas and eating candy bars is empty calories. If you replace those things with a whole grain waffle or one small piece of dark chocolate it will really help.

Sharon asks…

What is are some of your favorite weight loss tips?

What are some of your most succesfull weight loss tips?? I have my few that I live by, but I am looking for some tips on cutting down. Please only share different/ unique tips.
I know about all the common ones…. lots of water lots of rest six small meals etc.

thank you so much in advance!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi CollegeGirl

In my opinion, no weight loss tips are truly successful on their own. Lots of water is not necessarily a good way, because how much water a person needs depends on the BMI of the person. 6 small meals maybe hard at times, especially when you are stuck at school or office and have no chance to eat, and then you need to eat more when you have the chance. Well, dieting is a good way to lose weight, but then it is hard to stick to a diet. For example, something like this:

Breakfast:
2 egg, low fat Cheddar cheese omelette – 320 calories
2 slices wholemeal toast with thin smear butter – 200 calories
Large slice melon – 47 calories

Lunch:
Spicy Turkey Salad recipe – 304 calories

Snack:
Muesli or honey nut Health Bar “Sainsbury” – 180 calories

Dinner:
Baked potato with 100g “Heinz” baked beans &/or Cottage cheese if desired – 300 – 400 calories (350 average)
Large helping salad fruits &/or vegetables – 100 calories

Another weight loss tip is to do interval and turbulence exercise.

Turbulence Training is a fresh plan that requires finishing three 45-minute exercise sessions each week with marginal equipment. It is an increasingly trend-setting fitness plan with the intention of helping you in the reduction of weight.

Interval training is the fitness world’s equivalent of a visit to the in-laws. The shorter and more intense the visit, the better. An interval is a short period of exercise performed at a given intensity for a specific length of time. Each interval is separated from the next interval by a short rest or lighter activity. There are no strict rules on how long or how intense the interval must be, however, changing the interval length or intensity changes the way your body works and responds to exercise.

But people have a short willpower. It may be strong at the beginning but will eventually fade as time goes on- as they realize that going on a diet is not actually as easy as they think it is. Of course, the strength of willpower differs from one person to another. This is the reason why there are people who can actually maintain a diet and exercise program for 1 year and there are people who can only maintain it for few months. Nonetheless, willpower is a big factor that dictates someone whether to continue losing weight or not.

And in my opinion, besides sticking to a diet and exercise plan, it is the ultimate willpower to stop yourself from overeating that is the #1 tip to lose weight. But that is the hardest part if you are accustomed to eating lots of food even though your body does not need it. It is partly because of the delicious taste of the food causing a craving for more. There are certain ways to fight this craving ad I found one that maybe helpful. It is a type of chocolate that can actually suppress your appetite. It will can provide Good Energy that promotes a healthy weight by providing energy while burning fat. And it helps suppress cravings for sugary snacks.

Good luck!

PS: Information on the Special Chocolate that I mentioned can be found on the website in the source box. Recently, they are giving away a one month free trial.
