Hi every one give me the suggestion about how to loss weight |

Eat Less, Move More: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKs0oEIVOck (thx to @sawolf01 for the link) But seriously, though the above video is meant as a joke – it’s pretty much true. Journal your foods and establish the number of calories in vs. calories out to create a deficit of 500 calories a day or 3500 calories a week. Eat clean foods and get in some exercise – start with just adding walks to your day and work your way up. Use resistance training to maintain the muscles you have and possibly build a few in the process. Use all the tools available to you here and ask for help when you need it. Don’t go it alone. :) |

I am an emotional eater… does anyone have some tools that might help me? I have been following an Atkins type diet with only a small amount of success. Can anyone help? |

I’ve posted this before, but try writing in a journal. Just get a nice journal and when you feel the need to emotionally eat, remove yourself to a quiet place and write it all out. No idea from proper grammar, spelling, structure, or anything. Just write it all down and figure out the source. The other thing that worked for me was learning to forgive myself. We all do things that weren’t the best choices but you can learn from that and move on. Good luck on your journey! |

Hi!!! every one thanks for the motivation and suggestion. .You know,obese people (like me)are generally flesh eaters, so I am little disappointed over the dietetic regimen for natural weight loss. Now I want to include light weight exercises and diet chart for me. I am also thinking for taking medicine for weight loss .Hey suggest me Is it right ??? |

Paul, I don’t think you need medicine. That is the easy way out, just like the lady in the video. You have to sacrifice in order to achieve it. I used to think that I would always struggle with weight gain (even though I wasn’t to the point of being obese, but just overweight), and I used to think I was just big boned at that was it. Until I joined a gym and for 3 months straight , mon- fri worked out for an hour and a half and dieted all the while, sometimes giving in but I always got right back on the horse. My goal was to bust my butt until my boyfriend got off of the cruise he was on (navy). I got into jeans I hadn’t fit into since I was 14 years old. , size 7. Of course I am not there any more because I had more children (I already had one at that time) but the point being that I could no longer use the excuse that I’d always have problems and never be thin…..I got there once and I can get there again. I hate dieting but i know n order to lose it I have to because on my own I eat to maintain or a bit over, but I am also not working right now and doing school from home, so sitting a lot…..so I HAVE to diet since I know I dont burn enough on a daily basis. In the end, my advice is give yourself a small time frame, then give yourself a well deserved tiny break like no more than 3 days if you really can’t control your eating. For example, my goal is thanksgiving, then I am going to eat really good, probably for a few days and then start again before I get out of the rhythm of things. THen my next goal is christmas dinner, after a small break from that, I’ll have to set a new goal. I honestly don’t know how some people do it for a year straight…I could, but know that I end up binging, so if I focus on say, 3 weeks, I stick to it religiously and then I know I can eat what I want for a few days. THats my method but it might not work for everyone. |

Paul, It may be slow and gradual to get down to a weight you are happy with. If you do it the right way, once you get there though it will stay. It is a marathon, not a sprint. |

Amoli: What a thoughtful, interesting and wise posting. You’ve got me interested in pursuing yoga. Thank you. |

I have nothing against yoga itself but that’s just a spam post – poorly formed too. |

Try cutting out one thing you snack on a lot – back in high school I weighed about 270lbs and decided to stop eating chocolate, cakes, candy and potato chips. After around 3 months I had lost 30lbs. This might seem drastic but try cutting out just one thing you snack on. It’s tough for the first couple of weeks but after it gets easier – 5 years later I’m still going strong! Simply find healthier things to replace your snacks with – apples, raisins, grapes etc |

I love yoga, really, but the “bahamas” spam is getting tiring and totally out of the topics where it is posted. Yoga can be done as “resistance” training, but you don’t need to pay $ 2000 for a course. |

Find ways to stay active through out the day to increase the amount of calories burned, avoid fatty foods and cut back on unnecessary calories. Along with cardio to burn calories and get your heart rate up, also include lifting to increase muscle, burn fat and increase metabolism. |

I have to get in on this thread. I have been there. I have felt similar feelings. The big thing is that you need to get your mind set that you can do this. Negative talk and self doubt is what will keep you where you are. |

@PaulBolton, I was getting ready to jump on this thread as I wanted to respond to your comment " … obese people (like me)are generally flesh eaters". I read further in to this string and noticed that you mentioned “Orlistat”. Interestingly, there’s a PowerPoint presentation available online entitled “Obesity” by someone with the name of Paul Bolton. Not a big surprise, this PowerPoint presentation promotes the use of Orlistat: # (to find this link go to Yahoo and type in: paul bolton Orlistat) Clearly, you feel Orlistat has advantages in regards to weight loss, so why not simply address those thoughts on these message boards. For the most part you’ll find the users of DailyBurn anti-weight loss supplement supporters, but it could make for an interesting conversation/debate. So, what exactly is Orlistat in layman’s terms? |

I have learned that along with exercise you need to watch what you eat. All fatty and greasy foods you need to avoid and try to get in at least 30 min. a day of exercise! |

To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories and you certainly wouldn’t want to try to burn 3500 calories in one day. However, by taking it step-by-step, you can determine just what you need to do each day to burn or cut out those extra calories. Below is a step by step process for getting started. 1. Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Your BMR is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing and digestion. This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day. Keep in mind that no calculator will be 100% accurate, so you may need to adjust these numbers as you go along. 2. Calculate your activity level. Use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lifting weights, etc. throughout the day. It helps to keep a daily activity journal or you could even wear a heart rate monitor that calculates calories burned. 3. Keep track of how many calories you eat. You can use a site like Calorie Count or use a food journal to write down what you eat and drink each day. Be as accurate as possible, measuring when you need to or looking up nutritional information for restaurants, if you eat out. 4. Add it up. Take your BMR number, add your activity calories and then subtract your food calories from that total. If you’re eating more than you’re burning, (your BMR + activity is 2000 and you’re eating 2400 calories) you’ll gain weight. If you’re burning more than you eat, you’ll lose weight. |

Keep yourself busy! Find some new hobbies and stay out of the fridge. Along with eating properly find exercises you like and stick to them. As time goes on you will become more interested in other workouts and before you know it you’ll have lost weight! |

@jkarle01 adipex diet pills? Don’t make me laugh. I already get dozens of spam in my hotmail account everyday without you helping out. |

Burn more calories than you put into your pie hole and watch your fluid balance. |

I have heard a lot about fluids but how does that work? scientifically? |

@RidingPastor, in regards to fluid intake the issue is in timing energy balance and hydration. Dehydration inhibits the body’s ability to deliver nutrients to the cells, and thus inhibits the removal of removal of metabolic by-products from cells. The result is early exercise fatigue. |
