Helen asks…
How much water weight can you lose before you start losing fat?
When people begin losing weight, and they lose a lot of weight in a short period of time – how much of it is usually water weight? Like, how much water weight can you lose before you start losing the fat? I have been dieting and working out, and lost 10 lb this past 2 weeks – but I am pretty sure almost all of that is water weight. Is it possible to lose 10 lb of just water? I am 5’1 and weighed 142 lb when I started.

That is good 10lbs is not bad. I think that is a sign that you can lose your weight in short period of time. 5 lbs water weight that you can lose is enough for two to three weeks (my personal experience)
William asks…
How can I lose weight on my waistline and stomach and keep the weight on my hips and butt?
I am relatively thick. Decent size butt hips thighs very shapely. I want to make maintain my waistline and possibly make it smaller but when i lose weight I tend to lose it all over. How can I lose the weight on top and keep the weight below and possibly add more below with out my top half getting big as well?
weight loss cardiff answers:
If you have a sitting job, stand up and stretch yourself every half an hour. Most of the jobs today are indeed sitting jobs that are in one word sedentary. This is especially true for those who sit and punch away at the keyboard or toy with the mouse all day long. So if you have such a job, make it a point to get up at least every half an hour and stretch your self.
Sandy asks…
How can I lose weight without sacrificing muscle mass or strength?
Im 5ft and 8 in and weight around 145. I want to lose atleast 5-8 lbs of pure body fat. But I’ve heard that when you lose weight you also lose muscle mass and strength? Is this true? So how can I prevent myself from losing the mass of my muscle and strength while losing the fat.
weight loss cardiff answers:
How to lose 8 pounds of just fat is easy with these 5 or 6 simple steps. Some steps might actually make you stronger;
1.Eat when you are hungry: because if you eat when you are full you are just stretching your stomach tissue and if you starve yourself that’s when you lose muscle and your body will expect you to keep starving yourself which slows down your metabolism.
2.Take your time: when you eat fast you want to eat more because you cant tell when you are full. If you eat slow you will realize you are full when you are full.
3.Take walks and drink water: walks are a pretty easy exercise but it is still exercise and drinking water cleanses your body and if you drink a cup of water before every meal you won`t eat as much.
4.No artificle stuff: soda is horrible when your on a diet this may sound weird but especially diet soda. Diet stuff is the exact opposite of what it sounds it may have less calories but all the chemicals in it make up for that.(Also an other reason people say you also lose muscle mass and strength.)
5.Abs: when you are relaxing like watching TV if you sit it a position like this your abs will burn fat _/. Also slow leg lifts help too.
6.Thyroid?:If you do not lose any weight in 5 weeks ask your doctor if you have thyroid.
