Losing weight???

i am 5’7″ and weigh 10 stone (also im 19 yr old female) i want to get down to 8 stone….. a few questions:

will 8 stone be too skinny? im slim now but want to lose some weight

and what is the quickest way to lose weight?

thanks guys
whats the ideal weight for my height??

weight loss cardiff answers:

Check your bmi http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/magazine/interactive/bmi/index.aspx

first off – if you are thin – & your height/weight sounds proportionate to me – losing 2 stone would be mad!! I am 2 inches shorter than you and weigh 9st 9 & am a size 8-10.

To maintain your current weight you should eat 2000kcals per day. So to lose weight you need to restrict this to 1500kcals. But make sure you eat no less than 1500kcals as this will slow your metabolism & you won’t lose anything.
If you are restricting your diet it’s also a good idea to take a multivitamin to ensure you are getting all your vital nutrients.

If you cut your cals back to 1500 per day & do exercise 2-3 times per week you will lose 1-3lbs per week easily.

Drink plently of water, try & increase the amount of fruit & veg you eat & swap white bread for brown bread, full cream milk to skimmed milk etc.

Personally i don’t think you need to lose anything – you might just need to tone up what you have already – i would recommend a class called body pump – this uses weights to tone you up & burn lots of calories (www.lesmills.com) – give your local gym a call to see if they run it. I did this class twice a week & could see big difference fast!!

Donald asks…

Losing Weight?

how can i lose weight off my face easily

thanx

weight loss cardiff answers:

Not everyone can get plastic surgery.
It’s expensive and not every one is over age.
I honestly think though losing weight off your face comes with losing weight everywhere.
Notice how someone you havn’t seen in a loooong time loses ALOT of weight from their face and all?
Doubt they did face exercises, because i don’t think their is such a thing.
I may be wrong.
But I have just never heard of such a thing:)

Lisa asks…

How to lose weight fast and easily?

I am the laziest, most unhealthy ( like i eat junk food every day) person ever. Or at least in the top ten. I am 13 and want to lose weight at least ten pounds by the time school starts. My school (private school) starts september 5th or something. What do i do thats easy, maybe fun, and will help me lose weight fast.

I am a 13 year old 5 foot 4 inch 125 pound girl. my birthday is last day of August so im practically 14

weight loss cardiff answers:

As a 13 year old weighing approx 125lbs based on a BMI calculation you are not significantly overweight. A person of your respective age and height should be at a weight range somewhere between the 100-120 category. Not to fret there are many ways someone your age can lose weight and feel better/ healthier overall, some ways are…

– If your not into being physically active, try and get at the very minimum at least an hour of exercise each day however you want to do it, walk your dog, ride a bike, go for a swim, go for a hike, jog, skip, etc.
– Eat healthy, avoid sugary things ie. Ice cream, candy, chips, bars sugary juices and sodas etc. Stick to natural home cooked meals and snacks. If you can microwave it chances are its not healthy. Good meals and snacks consist of fruits vegetables whole grains unprocessed meats etc. Try not to buy your lunches at school or your dinners at restaurants.
– Join a sport or club. School sports are very worthwhile for staying healthy, however you can also join sports/clubs within your community like soccer, karate, boxing, etc.

Whatever you try and do to be healthier stick to it! Not only is having a few extra pounds on unappealing for your own self image.. It can result in lack of self confidence, depression and often leads to obesity later in life.

David asks…

how to lose weight easily?

im15,a girl,156 centimeters and weigh 143 lbs.im overweight.is there any easy way to lose weight easily?like drinking cold water(helps to burn calories).i dont want acai berry.

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Lizzie asks…

how can i lose weight within 2 weeks?

im nearly 16, i feel so unconfident about my body.
i’ve recently died my hair black, and i have really pale skin. but it works on me.
i just want a nice body to go with it, im curvy, which makes me feel fat, but then i look in the mirror and i just look so discusting.

i want to lose a little weight within two weeks, is that possible?

weight loss cardiff answers:

It’s possible to lose 5-10kg in 2 weeks.

Maybe in first week eat mainly detox foods. Main one is some lime or lemon juice first thing in the morning.

Eat low fat whole foods from the very start.

Try and cut out fatty meats.

Make all your meals yourself, takeaway is not good if you want to lose weight. Make healthy snacks for when you are too tired to make something.

Like celery sticks or scones made with soy milk and wholemeal flour (2 tsp baking powder per cup flour).

Fish, lean chicken and kangaroo are all low in fat.

Try not to eat processed foods as well.

Remember not to restrict food either this usually leads to binge eating. Just eat until you are full, never any less.

You need energy to exercise as well. So try and eat filling, healthy food that gives you energy.

Big breakfast is good because when you move around during the day it helps with digestion. Smaller meals later is good. The european way of eating with big dinners is good in colder climates where you need fat to keep warm.

30 minutes a day is enough and if you miss a day try not to get angry at yourself. The more the better though if you want faster results.

Making healthy changes is showing respect to yourself.

Remember some fat is good as well. The healthy range for women aged 20-40 is between 21% and 33% fat. Measure your fat %, BMI and weight every few days. Set a realistic goal and adjust it if needed after the first week.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Thomas asks…

How do I lose weight-the healthy and life long way-?

I have struggled with losing weight since I was young, I want to lose weight steadily, and (I know I know, should be the priority, but) quickly, but be healthy and make this a life long change.

I don’t want to diet, I’m not cutting out carbs or anything, and the most working out I can do a day, with school and all, is round bout 30 mins to an hour. I need help.

Any tips? Workout ideas? I tend to get bored easily? Whats most effective and burns the most calories? Does milk really help? And what are healthy foods to snack on? I’m a bad muncher!! Thanks!!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

They key is somthing that you enjoy doing. The ones that give drastic results right away are also the ones that dont last over the long haul.

As far as burning fat that means doing cardio. This is as simple as speed walking. Seriously, just speed walking can do the trick. It gets your heart rate up and you can keep it there longer than if you were running or jogging. It is also easier on your joints. It also helps to tone and tighten muscles while burning off those calories. It is free, you can do it anywhere, anytime of day, infact doing it in the morning or afternoon helps to kick start your motabolism. Thus giving you more energy that will last longer through the day.

Like you said healthy eating is the key and not just a diet. Lots of fruits and veggies for vitamins, carbs are good in the morning as they are fuel for your body and mind.

As far as the snacking goes figure out specifically what you crave. Is it somthing crunchy or a bit sweet? With that in mind go to the store and look in the health food isles and see if you can find that crunchy or sweet healthy thing that is actually good for you. Dont forget it is okay to eat somthing bad in moderation. This sounds silly but i like crunchy with a little sweet so i eat one all bran bar. Hey it is good for me, what is wrong with fibre.

Good luck to you and good health to you and yours!

David asks…

I’m seriously sick of this extra weight. How do I take it off? I’m willing to work hard…?

I’m not one of those people that wants to lose weight quickly and easily. I want to lose it quickly even though it may take a lot of work.
I’ve noticed my problem seems to be eating while I’m bored.
I want to lose at least 20 pounds. I am not fat, I just am a little bit on the chunky side.
Help please?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Stop drinking soda completely. Take a soda can and fill it with water (since people like drinking from cans).

While you are watching TV do jumping jacks, lift weights (or heavy objects) and run around the couch.

When you have to get from point to point don’t walk, run really fast. Stop taking the elevator for more than 10 stories.

Everyday when you wake up do 20 push ups, 20 jumping jacks and 20 sit ups the second you get out of bed.
