honey2005 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Cut down on your calorie intake, and exercise. You need to burn more calories than you take in to lose weight. You can do simple things to reduce the amount of calories you consume. If you eat salads, use fat free dressing. If you eat sandwiches, cut out the mayo and cheese. If you drink soda, switch to diet. Little changes like that can save you a lot of calories. To burn calories, just make a couple changes in your routines. Instead of using the elevator, take the stairs. Park your car farther from your work, do more chores around the house. You burn calories when doing anything, even washing dishes. Link to post Share on other sites
mike78207 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 well i walk alot and ride my bike. I have cut down on alots of food i love. today i ate 2 tacos like around 9am..but i feel like eating nuts or sunflower seeds..is that bad? Link to post Share on other sites
caz_cheer_jenn Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Actually, things like nuts and sunflower seeds are considered "good" fats. My nutritionist said that if I am feeling particularly run down in the afternoon and need a more substantial snack, I should have a handful of cashews or peanuts. Preferably unsalted or only lightly salted. The key is to NOT overindulge. A handful is ok...a whole can is not. Link to post Share on other sites
SweetBee82 Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Originally posted by knight56 Iam 5'7 164 pounds i want to lost 10 pounds. I use to be 150 back when i was 17..now iam 25 I actually weigh the same thing and also the same height. If I were you, do these things: 1. no soda or fruit drinks. Soda's just bad (diet or regular) and fruit drinks are loaded with sugar. Drink water or at least Crystal Lite. CL is only about 5 cals per cup and water is always a safe bet. 2. lower your calorie intake. I'm actually doing that right now. Eat between 1100-1400 cals a day. Also eat more fruits and veggies. Always a safe bet. 3. Do the Atkins or South Beach diet. Yeah try to not eat refined wheat/sugar for a couple of weeks and the pounds are gone. I've done SB for a few months and lost about 50 lbs doing that. However, I became chronically fatige from that so I had to bring the carbs back to get my energy. 4. Work out a lot. Since it's really 10 pounds, just focus on where you want to fix. Love handles? Arms? Thighs? Lower abs? Tone that area but take it easy though. Oh and do some cardio. I work out more than 90 minutes a day every day and most of the weight I put on is muscle weight. Hey even walking around is consider exersise. I hope everything works out but I bet you look great as you are. I'm proud of my hourglass figure (though it's not 36-24-36 LOL) and wouldn't want to get more skinnier than I am now. Let us know and good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

Samson Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Well knight56, I'm pleased that penile length is not your only question. And because you used the word "tummy" to describe your abs, I'm guessing that you are female: However, your desire to make your chest larger sounds more like a guy. Finally, because of your weight, and desire to lose some, I'm gonna conclude that you are female. You're right, that 5'7" and 164 isn't thin, for a female. The rounded butt is the holy grail of so many. Sorry to say, but it is almost all genetically programmed. Sure, there's many equipment manufacturers (Buttblasters) that will argue they can have some effect, but they are wrong. The problem with losing weight quickly is that the first 5-10 lbs will simply be water. Frankly I think your goal should be much more 25-35 lbs. See a Dr. for approval.

Author knight56 Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 iam a male..lol but what did you mean its only water?..or what.. Link to post Share on other sites
Samson Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I mean that your body's metabolism will react, when you try to starve it, first by shedding water. This is why fasting to lose a few pounds is not long term weightloss. Anyway, as a 25 yr old male, I'd say you're height and weight are proportional, and you're excersing: keep up the good work, but please, we do not have a "tummy" after age 10.

honey2005 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 The first few pounds people lose are usually water weight, which means you haven't lost fat yet. I don't know any exercises for a guy to do to work his stomach, arms, chest, butt, etc. but I searched and I found: http://www335.pair.com/grpulse/bt/exstex.html which looks really helpful. If it's not what you're looking for, just search Yahoo or something till you find what you want. If you're trying to build muscle, don't worry too much about what the scales say. Muscle weighs more than fat, so the scales may say you're not losing anything when actually you are dropping inches and firming up. Link to post Share on other sites
