Firstly u should be rock hard to gain ur goals. And dont be demotivated if u dont get results. Just push on….!!!! So, first try to change little things like not eating unhealthy and try some exercises.
1.Go for a long running session or cycle early morning.
2.After this, eat breakfast like oats or cornflakes with some fruits
3.Avoid foods like pizzas n ol. And depend upon fruits, veggies .
4.When free at home, try doing skipping. Like skip 250 times a day, and gradually increase the skips.
Doing all this will surely make u thin. Just think where u wanna reach and go for it with ur all will….!!!! All the best.! Thnx. Yeeeeehaw….!!!! 🙂

Betty asks…

has anyone tried or know someone who has tried the “weight watchers” weight loss plan?

I am planning on joining weight watchers next week with a friend. i was wondering if anyone had success or failure stories while on the plan. Is it easy to follow? How much weight did you lose and at what rate? Expensive? are the results long lasting? I’m also gonna excersise as well so i hope i get decent results at least by summer

weight loss cardiff answers:

I was on WW last year and it was wonderful. The meetings are about $10 per week. You don’t have to buy all their candy bars and diet books. I would recommend buying the starter pack though. It has dining out guides, points slider, exerciser slider and weekly tips. I lost 6 pounds my first week. I used the points system rather then core. It will work for you. And you will get results. Have faith in yourself. They also don’t weigh you in front of everyone and embarrass you. It’s well worth it. If you choose not to go to the meetings you can still do it at home. The meetings are more for support. You still buy your own food at the store. Tip: Lots of water, and Lean Cuisines. Plus you can still eat out, just count the points. Good luck to you.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Jump rope every day for 10-30 minutes. Drink plenty of water, eat lots of healthy-cooked chicken and vegetables.

Michael asks…

Can anyone give me the best free weight loss plans?

I need to loose 6 1/2 lbs. a week for 3 months so could anyone give some ideas on the best way to do it. I don’t care whether its healthy or not.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You need to realise that if you choose unhealthy ways to lose weight that a) you will only lose weight for a small period of time b) you will do your body serious damage.

Everyone has the potential to lose weight fast. Unfortunatly fast weight loss is bad weight loss. There is a huge difference between ‘fat loss’ and ‘weight’ loss.

Dramatic weight loss is shockingly bad for you. This wrecks your metabolism and irreversibly damages your immune system. When faced with an intensive calorie restriction, your brain immediately thinks you are starving and sends your body directly into famine mode.

If you were to lose lets say 20 pounds fast through unhealthy weight loss only around 12 pounds of that will be fat, 6 pounds will be muscle and the rest water.

Water will return quickly (meaning weight gain) and more importantly we need muscle to aid in weight loss. Muscle is a very active tissue, it burns up to 50 extra calories per pound, per day

If you choose to lose weight through unhealthy methods than don’t expect permanent weight loss or a healthy body.

This following website gives you the tools you need to develop a healthy lifestyle and maintain it for a lifetime.

Good luck and all the best with your weight loss goals

Donna asks…

Does anyone know of any FREE exercise plans (for weight loss) on the web?

I’m looking for a website with step-by-step fitness/weight loss plans that I can do without access to a gym. Any suggestions would be most appreciated….person who posts the most useful links will get best answer. (Duh)

P.S. Rude responses, responses without beneficial answers, and personal attacks will be reported.

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. Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*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.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is “Muscle and Fitness”. Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

Mandy asks…

Im only 24 and im 268pounds ive tried weight loss plans and dieting but did not see any results but gained ?

A few extra pounds. I am a single mother and time to my self never happens. .. I really wish i had more friends.. What tips or procedures do i have to go threw to loose 100 pounds by next june. .

weight loss cardiff answers:

Did you actually follow your diets or did you cheat? Most diets work if you follow them perfectly. Most people think it’s okay to cheat a little though, and it’s really not.

Are you exercising at all? Weight loss (simplified) is just calories in versus calories burned. If you won’t change your diet, than try and be more active…

Thomas asks…

Do you have any weight loss plans that work?

I need one that will help me lose 20-30 pounds! Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Last year on New Year’s I made the decision to lose weight. Now a year later I’m 89 pounds lighter and still want to lose a little more (less than 10 more pounds.) I have a visible 4 pack of abs (working on the 6 packs). It was all because of one program I found at http://boyels.com . After reading through it and watching the video I decided to try it out to see where it would take me. You might want to read it to because I personally can’t say enough good things about it. But the most important thing is to remember never to give up no matter what you do to lose weight and always remember those that are determined and persistent can achieve anything.

Paul asks…

What are the best weight loss food plans as far as price and quality of food?

I’m looking for feedback from anyone who has used Jenny Craig, Nutri-System, Bistro M.D. or any other food delivery weight loss program. I’m interested in knowing opinions about price, quality of food, reliability, effectiveness of program and any other useful information. I’m not looking for any other weight loss advice or opinions–I’m specifically interested in weight loss food delivery plans.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Get the good health food, such as organic food, because for the first period it could detox the toxin from your body, then the organic food can perform good health with good ideal weight body

Mark asks…

Do you have an opinion on my weight loss plan?

Ok so I went to this site that calculates your daily calorie needs. It says that to MAINTAIN in my weight (250), given that I consider myself lightly active, I should eat 3575 calories a day. Also supposedly, if you want to lose 2 pounds a week, you need to take 1000 calories less than what you need to maintain your weight.

Sooo, if I eat 2000 calories a day, I should lose a little more than two pounds a week.

My plan is to eat 2000 calories until it takes less than 3000 calories to maintain my weight. According to this calculator, that will be around 210 pounds. It says at to hundred pounds, I can eat 2860 a day to maintain. So at that weight, I am going to eat about 1860 a day (1000 less than what I need to maintain). I will do this until I reach 160. Then I should be able to maintain around 2288 but before I go back to that, I’ll be eating what I need to still lose until I reach the 160. Does this make sense?
I know that 3500 isn’t going to help me lose. I’m just saying that eating that supposedly will maintain my weight which is way way way to high anyway.
And I do exercise. I go to curves 3-4 times a week(actually pushing myself on the equipment). Also I try to walk twice a week.
Here’s the calculator I am using.

http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/content/PED_6_1x_Calorie_Calculator.asp

weight loss cardiff answers:

Honestly, no.
Forget the calculator stuff. Basic intake is around 2,000 cals.
Most people on a diet it around 1,600-1,800 calories. That’s what you need to do.
Eating 3,575 calories a day? Not good. It’s not going to help you “maintain” 250 lb, you’re definetly going to GAIN weight. Unless you NORMALLY eat that much.
To cut a pound a week, it’s true that you need to take 1,000 calories less. Less than what you NORMALLY eat. Track what you eat and calculate off that. I don’t really trust this weight/calculator business, because in my opinion it doesn’t take a lot of other major factors into account.

Want to lose weight? Simple plan. Hard work.:
– – – – –
– Load up on the veggies & fruits. Lowest calorie plan out there, totally natural. Find your favorites – I like mangoes & strawberries, I can a whole box in a sec!
– Cut the junk food. No sodas, my dear. No candy. I guess it’s ok to indulge, but not daily. Try to find substitutes, or balance it out [like chocolate-dipped strawberries].
– Lots of water & sleep. Water flushes out toxins, keeps you healthy, and increases metabolic rate. Sleep – can we ever get enough? Like a cute saying I heard the other day, you can buy all the diet pills and organic food you want, but water is cheap and sleep is free.
– Careful of what you snack on! A bite of your friend’s cookie, a swig of Coke from your co-worker, a couple fries from your sister’s McDonald’s bag can all add up to 700 cals a day.
– Exercise. Yes. You have to. Dieting is fun and all that [yeah right] but exercise helps you get there a lot faster and STAY there. You CAN indulge in that occasional Snickers if you exercise. Yoga, running up stairs, fitness tapes, jumping rope, gardening, kickboxing, swimming, lacrosse, basketball, tennis, cardio dance, millions of jumping jacks – whatever works for YOU.

You’ve heard this all before, right? Because it’s what WORKS. It takes intense determination, and may need some restarting over and over. I know. I’m on day two of my millionth diet plan and just dug into some peanut butter. But hey! I did cardio dance today.

Thomas asks…

Eat nothing, how quickly will I loose weight?

My new medication is making it nearly impossible to eat. I used to drink about 48 oz. of water daily, but now I can hardly drink. I am able to stay hydrated, but it takes a lot of effort. I’ve been sipping broths and V8 when I can. Since the medication is not for weight loss, I wondered how much weight I might be loosing. I’m already thin, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a calorie/weight loss calculator, or could share personal experiences of loosing weight this way and possibly the pace at which it happened. Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Starvation not only makes you loose fat but most importantly muscle. This is something you dont want to do. Diet and exercise is the way to go. Most people average 1-2 lbs a week by proper diet and exercise

Paul asks…

How long does it take to notice weight loss after cutting calories?

I used a BMR calculator to figure about what calories I need to maintain on a daily basis. The number came to 2477. That would maintain my weight of 220 pounds. Just so you know I’m male, 6-1 in height, age of 44 and not that active. Everyday for the last 2 1/2 weeks I have cut my calorie intake to 1800 or lower. I’m starting to think my scale is broken. Maybe I am operating under some bad assumptions.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Your numbers are correct and you should have lost weight.
There are however many factors which influence weight (fat) loss and you might be stuck because of for example underestimating your calorie intake, food sensitivities, sluggish thyroid, not enough sleep, too much stress, medication that you are on, too many toxins have build up and you don’t drink enough water to flush them out …
