Can this help me lose then maintain my weight?

To start off with I want to be able to eat other things besides JUST salad and fruit all day long. I usually eat breakfast and lunch at my High school. Which usually consists of, Breakfast: 70 cal dry cereal bowl, fruit cup & OJ OR 5 thin French toast sticks with syrup, and fat free chocolate milk.

For lunch I can stick with the chicken salad they provide with a bread stick(I don’t have to eat the bread) for most days. but I want to be able to change it to a chicken sandwich for ex, every once in awhile so that I actually feel like I’m NOT dieting.

Then when I get home, I won’t snack on anything and eat a well- portioned dinner. I want to incorporate some kind of exercise that I can MAINTAIN for many months. I have a mini trampoline in my house, I thought I could do that for 15 to 20 minutes every day.

What I want from this is just to lose like 5 to 8 lbs and then maintain it. Would this be a good way to do it? Thanks for your help.

I’m 5’2, 120 lbs. My previous lifestyle about 5 to 7 months ago before weight watchers where I lost like 25 pounds used to be eat eat eat whatever I want and don’t care about calories or junk food. But thankfully I’m not like that anymore.

Answer #1

Your ideal weight range is 106 to 130 pounds. I don’t think that you need to lose any weight.

However, if your profile decides to have a sex change and an updated birthdate, your ideal weight range would be 99 to 121 pounds.

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.

“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

Firstly You need 60 minutes of strenous exercise to even burn a fair calorie amoint. Secoundly, You will not lose weight. You will slim down get thin and get muscular, Muscle weighs more then fat. Thirdly, You do not need to go on an omega diet, Just remember eat what you want but the more fatty, More sugar or more fats in the food, The longer you have to work after the 60 minute time zone.
