I weigh 180 pounds. My goal is 160. There's a certain date I want to lose this weight by so I know I need to lose about 3-4 pounds a week for 6 weeks.Here are my questions:
1. How many calories should I have daily?
2. How many days a week should I exercise if I exercise for 30 minutes on those days?Serious answers only and please stick to the question!
Thanks!
Answer:
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
1. How many calories should I have daily?--1800
2. How many days a week should I exercise if I exercise for 30 minutes on those days?--3/4
Hi ,
You need to know information about taking care of your health by yourself. You can do it at http://letdiet.blogspot.com It's about the diet , diet pill, health information, ways to lose weight, ways to use calories effectually. If you realize that site is good, Let's share to everyone for better life
Check out this site. It will tell you how many calories you need to maintain your weight (based on your height). Eat less and you will lose.
Exercise 6 days for 30 minutes. I usually do 3 or 4 days of 1 - 2 hours of strickly cardio.
If you are serious, please see my website, www.pointnutrition.com - I can do phone consultations and you would have to work very hard, but it could be possible. Keeping it off then would take a lot of work too. Let me know if you are interested in being a client.
Stick to 2 pounds a week. That's the consensus for healthy weight loss. You want to be losing fat, not muscle mass. You're going to have to be exercising intensely every day if you want to try to lose that much weight in that amount of time. Better idea, why don't you shoot for losing 12 pounds in 6 weeks, and then keep it up for another month to lose the next 8.
More important that calories is the quality of those calories. Choose low-fat and non fat foods. Drink water, be sure to take a multi vitamin--One a Day has one that supports
weight loss--kind of a green/teal label.
I've lost 12 pounds in the last month, and I could have done better if I had been better about sticking to these rules:
64 oz or more of water daily. 2 servings of dairy,
5 servings of fruit and veggies, 2 servings of meat--mostly chicken and fish, 2 servings s of bread/pasta/potatoes/
rice/cereal daily and very little oil or butter. Mostly a little
spray on salad dressing and a touch of oil when prepping meats. No alcohol, no soda, even diet and no sweets--use fruit as your sweet, if you need it or one piece of sugar free candy. You could go with a weight watcher dessert, or
sugar free jello, but not having even these, will help reduce calories. I think you can do it. Eat a little something
every 3-4 hours. Walk 30 minutes every day--Leslie Sansone has walking programs on DVD--15 minute, 30 minute and 45 minute ones. These are good if you don't have a good place to walk. Exercise on alternate days, and think about gentle yoga as a good way to relax. Good Luck!
If you want to lose weight and keep your muscle check out this website and let me know if you are interested. 100% money back guarantee.
I'm trying to lose weight too and it's sooo hard. My aunt is using a weight loss product and it's really working for her. I'm gonna try it and I recommend you try it too. Check their website at

If I want to loose weight, what is the best way?

Thank you!

Exsicise. Go swimming in the summer. Shovel snow in the winter. Breathing oxygen helps. If you have nothing to do, breathe more.
here a way/ eat alot of hamburgers and junk food after you did that wash it down with some coke and if ur stil fat go to a gym and jst sit at the waiting area for an hour or so then you can go back home and tell everyone that you exercised!
drink lemon water and do exercise
Lots of exercise a carb controlled diet, thats the best way. And remember exercise can be fun like playing team sports or whatever you like doing. You dont have to slog it in a gym!
Try do do more physical work than you've done in the past. Like, park far away from the grocery store and get a good walk in instead of looking for a close parking spot. Instead of taking the elavator, take the stairs. Its the baby steps that get you going and once you trained yourself to do the little things, watch what you eat and get a lil cardion in at least 1 hour a day example: walking, running, rollerblading, walking the dog, riding a bike you know.

If I want to get IN SHAP for volleyball tryouts, should I wear lots of layers when I work out??TIPS!?
Answer:
no don't wear lots of layers, it's bad For u. and to get in shape i suggest u do lunges and squats it hurts like hell but it will help a lot and you will be able to get lower into the position when u pass set and when u dig for the ball
Just to clarify: why would you need to wear lots of layers when you work out? What would that do?
Doing that will just help you to lose water weight faster, which you'll lose anyways if you are working out. To get in shape fast do cardio 4-5 times a week for 45 mins or so and do strength training 3-4 times for 20 mins a day. Good luck!!
u should eat @ taco bell.
If i want mass should i lift more weight and less reps or less weight and more reps?
Answer:
more weight and more protein, that helps
More weight less rep.
Both.More weight, less reps will produce myofibrillar hypertrophy.Less weight, more reps will produce sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.Most of the bulk you see on bodybuilders, however, is sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. Doing less weight with more reps will also lead to a bigger "pump" in the gym.
If i wanna flatten my tummy by just jogging all the time,will that alone work?
i dont like doing anaroebic exercises, like crunches and things like that, i prefer aerobic ones. i dont really want any six pack abs or anything, just a flatter stomach
Answer:
Jogging alone will not make your stomach noticably flatter, at least not significantly. Crunches are for packs, so those don't matter. Jogging and a healthy diet consisting of lots of protien should make your stomach flatter without looking like a macho beast (lol.) No packs, just flatter stomachs. :)

If I walk for 1 mile every day will that make a difference?
or do i need to walk a lot more to lose weight
Answer:
Yes it will make a difference guranteed any physical activity burns calories. hell bouncing ur leg while u sit behind a desk burns calories. now if walking a mile to go get a bunch of fast food would be defeating the purpose. and jogging or speedwalking is incorrect from what the one answer said. the only thing about speed walking or jogging is the burning of calories faster. but there is a cost the faster ur pace the greater the risk of problems with joints or tripping. wear comfy shoes to make the walk more efficient and safer would be to walk on grass instead of asphalt. if u really wanna make the walk more effective carry like rolled up quarters in ur pockets.fooling ur body into thing it is heavier that it is will help as well.
Walking a mile a day is great, but walking alone won't make you lose weight.If you think you're overweight, cut out some of the unhealthy foods you eat as well.
If you walk one mile every day and do not increase your intake or otherwise alter anything else, you will lose weight...to a point. You will (eventually, depending on how much you need to lose) reach a plateau where you will have to either increase your exercise or decrease your intake or both in order to continue to lose weight.
yes that is great -wear the right sneakers and walk briskly but be careful.
If you sweat for 30 minutes, yes.
Jogging would be more effective. Wear sweat clothes so u can sweat more. U burn alot more calories that way.
Depending on how much you want to lose. If walking is the only cardio preference for you, you can add the intensity with holding light dumbells (2-3lbs) while you walk. If you're walking on a treadmill, add incline and/or speed will make a difference.
I walk everywhere; 2-6 miles is nothing for me. I'm eating enough to be gaining a little weight on top of that.So it's a combination of things. I don't think 1 mile is much, but it's a good start if you've just been sitting around. Then there's powerwalking, and walking with wrist and ankle weights.And you'll have to watch what you're eating, too.
If you walk one mile a day and eat right it will make a difference. If you walk one mile day and eat junk you there won't be a difference. But do remember, in order to loss weight you must burn more calories then you take in!
If you walk 1 mile every day from your home, you will be 30 miles away from your home in 30 days. So along with walking, you should maintain perfect diet. You should consult a dietitian and ask him the diet according to your weight. You should not eat junk food such as burgers etc. You should take food with high protein content and low fat content.
Absolutely it will help! But it has to be a fast walk, swinging arms. Great cardio exercise. When you feel comfortable, increase it to whatever you can handle and still get back to your starting point.
I have a bad knee, so can't go anywhere I might not make it back from. And I never go without a cell phone! I live out in the country and had an angry bull that escaped his fence chase me up a tree once. I had to call a neighbor to come in her car and blow the horn and race her engine to scare it far enough away for me to practically leap out of the tree and into her car!
True story.

If I walk 2 miles a day, plus 100 crunches a day..?
Will I lose weight? I am still sick, but next week I should be better. Will this help me lose weight?I am following an excercise video, by the way.
Answer:
If you watch what you eat, yes. You should lose a pound or two a week. Good Luck!
You could walk 100 miles a day, but if you eat Burger King 5 times a say, the walking won't help much.
Walking is good, but you have to control your diet. The fewer the calories you take in, then better off you will be.
Yes, but you are taking that to the extreme. But yes you will lose weight.
That depends - if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. If you burn more calories than you consume, you'll lose weight. Walking 2 miles for an average 150lb person probably burns in the neighborhood of 150 calories. 100 crunches will yield a relatively insignificant caloric deficit, but they'll help your overall health (abs are very important for posture, relieving back pain, etc.). It will definitely HELP you lose weight, but it's entirely dependant on your diet.
The cleaner you eat, the less you need to workout. If you can consistently walk 2 miles a day, you are doing well. Walking is, bar none, the best exercise. If you stick to it, chances are you will become a more health conscious person, and this leads to a "beautiful circle" of health, as opposed to a vicious circle of dieting/working out/giving up. I see my Amish neighbors, who eat a notoriously high fat, high sugar diet stay lean just because they constantly walk. Keep at it...
