You are not violating the laws of physics. The reason that you are not losing weight is that you are eating as many calories as you are burning. To lose weight, you must eat less than you burn.

I lost 65 pounds in the last 13 months. Here’s my method. Calculate your target weight for every day and write it on a calendar. I lose five pounds per month, so I subtract one pound each six days. Weigh yourself every morning. If you are over your target weight, eat less and exercise more that day. That’s it! No calorie counting; no food weighing. Just eat a balanced diet.

Experts recommend, “Slow and steady weight loss. Depending on your starting weight, experts recommend losing weight at a rate of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week. Weight loss may be faster at the start of a program.” win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/choosing.htm#responsible

And, “Men and very active women may need up to 2,500 calories daily. Other women and inactive men need only about 2,000 calories daily. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.” www.fda.gov/opacom/lowlit/weightls.html

>Brisk walk, 30 min, walk two miles
Every other day, two to four days per week:

There is no “get thin quick” secret. There are things that you could do that will make you lose weight fast… But things like crash diets and working out until you pass out are bad for your body and you will only gain it back. I know this from experience.

My best tips are to eat several small healthy meals throughout the day, your body need fuel, if you don’t feed it enough your body will think something is wrong and will try to store the food in case of emergency. When this happens you wont lose a pound. Change up your exercise routine every other day, work out your whole body, and keep active as much as possible during the day.

It’s not fast but it will work. Also set small goals. Try to lose 10 pounds in the next 30 days. The another 10 next month. It IS a process, there is no magic pill. And remember soda is not your friend.

If you lose 7-10lbs in a week, it’ll be just water weight, so you’ll gain it right back.

So yeah, have fun with that.

Oh, did you want that to be a permanent 7-10 pound weight loss? If so, email me so I can straighten that out for you.
