Lose 10 inches by april

hi, uh... I need to lose inches off my waist and hips by april. I've been eating a not-so-good diet of carbs, green tea, and random vegetables. I do 26 crunches 6 tmes a day and that's about it. how can I lose the weight?

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

BMI Classification

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.

If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot) (1 stone = 14 pounds)

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.

To loose weight you'll need to eat less fattening foods and more vegetables and fruits. But to loose INCHES you need specific exercises.

Crunches are good for your abs (abdominal muscles) but for your waist you need exercises where you twist and bend - slowly, feeling the pull, not jerky and rapid. For hips one easy one is just to sit down on the floor, legs and arms straight out, and 'bump' your way across the floor, and back again.

Whatever you choose, exercise is the key. Your diet is important, but without specific exercises those inches aren't going anywhere.

if your looking for a quick fix, know that the weight will come right back at you. I personally just put in more fruits and water into my diet and that helps me trim down..I would suggest working out regularly; in order to loose weight, you have to burn twice as many calories as you consume. it would help if you do cardio..

You could do all the crunches in the world but if you have excess fat on your abdomen area then you wont be able to see any of your hard work. Continue to do crunches (research different types of crunches to target different areas) AND get your heart rate up as long and as often as you can each day. Dance, run, skip, cycle - anything that gets you up and moving.
