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.

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

“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.

Answer #2

EAT HEALTHY. don’t go anerexic or anything, but watch what you eat. for one day right down EVERYTHING you eat. be specific. how many pretzels did you grab out of the bag? how many fruit snacks were in that pouch? writing things down helps you realize that you are eating way more than necessary.

then the next day, carry your list around with you. maybe just stick it in your pocket as a little reminder. that way when you are searching the cabinets for a snack you’ll realize you aren’t really that hungry.

if you really want to get into write down where and why you are eating. is it true hunger or meer boredome or stress?? finding out where can help you avoid it. for example: do you always eat when watching tv? next time you sit down in front of the tube you’ll be a little wiser.

swimming burns LOADS of calories. :] remember how hungry you always are after swimming? yeah, that’s why.

HOPE THIS HELPS!! :] feel confident, okay babe?

Answer #3

If those things haven’t help you then you should talk to your doctor because sometimes there is something stopping your body. He/she will be able to make a plan for you to follow and if that doesn’t work than he/she may have to look into health problems to see whats going on.

Know what one desires and ask the universe for it. (The “universe” is mentioned broadly, stating that it can be anything the individual envisions it to be, from God to an unknown source of energy.)
- Focus one’s thought upon the thing desired with great feeling such as enthusiasm or gratitude.
- Feel and behave as if the object of one’s desire is already acquired.
- Be open to receiving it.

Answer #5

u aint fat! seriously. im a short girl, 16 only 5 feet and about 105 lbs and your a whole 3 inches taller than me (thats a big difference to me) and only 25 pounds heavier… your only 13 so probably will grow a lot more… when I was 13 I was only 4 feet 8 inches and I grew to 5 feet in those three year and for my and my genetics thats a lot. Also, seriouly, you being as active as you are, eating well you are perfectly healthy and amazing. Come on have a lil confidence that your beautiful. If your worried of not getting a boyfriend, trust me you want one who will take you for who you are… which is on the inside and if he can’t see that he’s not worth it. Pls take a good look in the mirror and pick 7 thinks that you like about yourself with out picking anything that you don’t like. You are your own worst critic. FunMail me. Hope I helped <3
