Weight help: I NEED SOME TIPS OR ADVICE ON HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT. - Help.com

Maybe once you start exercising you will not want those types of foods. Have you ate healthy in the past?

There are a couple of things you can do. Try to eat healthier and get more active. Also when your boss or work collagues buy fast ‘bad’ food, either limit yourself or say no completely. If you want to get rid of some stomach fat, try doing some situps… They exercise your stomach muscles. Don’t push yourself either. Work your way up slowly…

Hope this helps =].

Try to only eat at meal times and sometimes a few snacks inbetween. Only eat when your hungry tho if there is food that people are just bringing around and you feel the urge to eat what is out try chewing a piece of gum instead so it feels like you are still eating with everyone else just not getting all the calories that they are. Exercising is also always good :).

Yes im addicted to gum lol. Im a comfort eater so i opt for gum instead. Its still hard when im not discipline and i havent been discipline in over a yr :( but i dont eat as much as before i started eating healthy. Im terrified of burgers from fast food restaurants. I havent had one in almost 2 years…

Ok not really good advice here but I think hot chilli increases the rate in which your metabolism functions… I mean really hot chilli…

Maybe this will help I found a list of 13 things you can do to increase your metabolism

btw mez ur right spicy food does increase ur metabolism

eat whatever you want, just exercise that much more. eat less to not gain weight, exercise to lose weight. thats it, no secret thing involved, no 20 paragraph plan.

even the metabolism, exercise increases it better than anything else, period.

people are always looking for the easy way or the short cut…like the comedian said, if the short cut was really better, it would just be called The Way!

I hope you do, really, its the key to not just temp benefits, but if you start now, you will be one of those 50 year old women that still looks like she is in her late 20’s. Quality of life is the biggest thing here, even if it is hard to imagine a time when every bit of energy counts, and every tiny sickness can lead to a hospital stay.

good luck, have fun, and no fast food, ever1 (well, maybe once a week, but order from the kiddie menu)

exercise, thats all. Most people I know that exercise regularly don’t crave as much junk food after a while, and usually don’t gorge when they do eat.

still eat 3 meals a day at least, just watch what you eat, junk is junk. Trying to live on junk food, or even fast food, is like trying to run a catr on mostly water instead of fuel, or trying to power your computer by setting a couple of batteries on the desk next to it, and shining a flashlight on it.
great, now I am rambling, but point is, the food part is low priority, the exercise part is what will determine your overall health

you should go and see a doctor. a mentalist i mean!
people like you are just after some attention and nothing more.
looking at your pics your skinnier than me and i get called skelletor and im trying to put on weight! im 5.7 (1.70m) and i weigh 8 lbs. 52kg)
i know im under weight and i hate other people that say they are fat when really they are as thin as a twig!
i have tryed everything to put on weight, i eat like a horse and im not putting any weight on at all!

If impulse control is a problem, you can try to limit your exposure to temptation. Talk to your manager and coworkers. Tell them that you are trying to eat a healthier diet and ask them if they can be supportive by not bringing as much unhealthy food into the workplace. Their most likely response is “Yeah, I should lose a few pounds too. Good idea.”

Another idea is to eat helthy food before you go to work. If you eat something that includes vegetables and complex carbohydrates, you will probably be less tempted to indulge in so much of the junk food.

Denying yourself food makes you hungry and cranky and more likely to feel tired and want a pick-me-up snack. Lots of regular exercise will kick-start your metabolism so you can burn fat.l

The best way to go is to join an exercise group and become friends with the people. I joined a running group and ran 3-4x/week and biked to and from work and lost 90lbs. The key is to work the exercise into your routine.

Also, work your way up. Don’t kill yourself with exercise… make it a continuing, growing challenge so it’s fun and not a punishment for eating too much. Remember that the heartrate to burn fat is lower than the heartrate you would get running fast, etc. Make sure you’re operating in the lower fat-burning range or you can use a lot of effort and just strengthen your heart.

i think my best advise will be to eat slowly

you get full faster that way. also, i know for me, to not associate food with other activities, such as reading, tv or socializing. That, the image of a family watching tv while eating dinner, or a bunch of friends out on the town stopping at Taco Bell at 2 in the morning, sets you up to link food with good times.

Food is just food, you know?

sorry. i was just having a bad day and let it out on you, sorry

Oh yeah also try to have six small meals a day rather than three big ones. If you do have three big ones try to eat like the following… I learnt this when I lived in Italy and I realised it is a much healthier way to eat rather than how most people do.. Anyway here it it:

Have a small meal for breakfast, maybe some milk and coffee mixed together (Cafe` latte) with a croissant or something. Have a large lunch. I mean large. Eat pasta, meat and fruit. Peaches taste good! For dinner, try to have something small like a sandwich or something. The point of the large lunch is to make you full up until you just have the munchies and then it is dinner time.

I hope this helps too =].

why dont you start working out. Try the eating a small meal every 3 hours thing..it seems to have worked for the celebs.

you can allways just work out at your house. wii fitness actually works, if you have a wii..and you could run, and use chair’s to tone your arms…crunches…just incase your thinking of spending money on a gym or something

can I skip dinner?

Well, it is best to eat but if you are still bloted from luch yes, but still try to eat a small piece of friut like just a small tomato or something…

Haha. Nah, I think once you start it will be easy but just remember to not eat the same thing over and over because it will make it ‘unfun’ and you will get bored of eating it and swap back to the fast food… Remember, you cn still have a massive lunch.

It should really full you up! =].

make sure you take account with your ENTIRE body when doing BMI - height matters, breast size matters.
i have a friend at 4′10″ and weighs 140 pounds…but her bra size is 38DDD.

fiber cleanses the system and gets rid of weight! add flax seed to cereal, or just eat kashi or rich in fiber foods.

and, obviously, exercise. be careful though. depending on what you’re looking for is what you should do for exercises. don’t just sit up for a flat tummy, do it for a muscular one. cycle and work your entire stomach - lie on your side and do sit ups, too.

good luck :)

I am sure you are not that big compared to some people these days so don’t do anything drastic… =]. I wish you good luck though and tell us some results later ok Pad?

I have a herniated disc in my back that makes it nearly impossible to excercise but Ive lost 20lbs what you need to do is just research the food you eat - I laid off the hamburgers and pizza for pasta salad and Wendy’s chili. But seriously you look good you probably dont need to lose weight.

mez, why are you not in my friendlist yet?

Haha, I just added you and sent you a shout lol.

What is IRA? IS it like ChatZilla?

Haha. I have never heard of IRA so I thought I would ask lol.

I have msn…

I allowed you to see my email but here it is:

Ok it is actually:

chaos_2412 at hotmail dot co dot uk (hotmail.co.uk)

I always get confused between side account and real one lol.

PaDLe, I think having your friend exercise with you is the best first step. I know how you feel, because I just can’t force myself to exercise. I hate exercise, getting sweaty … but having a true friend who’s on your side, ready to help you, is the best way to tackle this. Then, when you enjoy food with your colleagues, you won’t feel so badly because you know the constant exercise will help your body burn off the calories. Just try not to go overboard with any dieting, seriously, because you can’t maintain it. Look at Oprah Winfrey, who, after years of trying to control her weight, finally accepted that she is who she is, and her body is just the way it was meant to be. Don’t fight nature too hard; just keep surrounding yourself with people who will help keep you active and positive. Good luck!

in between the three meals/day, eat a piece of fruit. Doesn’t matter which kind. That’s six meals a day. You will -NOT- be hungry, trust me on that.

Deffinetly eat fruit, mmmm mango *slobbers* lol. And eat it 3 times a day (or more). Just listen to jflagg, they know what they are talking about.

Well.. Do u want to become fat and disgusting?.. No? Alright fine - stop eating junk then.. Very simple and extremely easy.

Listen just eat healthy cut out the junk and exercise. Stop trying to take the easy route. That will only cause you to not only gain the weight back quick but you could gain more than you weighed before dieting and exercising. Once you get use to your healthy lifestyle it wont be as hard. You might even find the foods you use to eat disgusting. I rather be healthy then cheat my way there because you feel good and look good at the same time.

Exercise

Oh man I have the SAME problems. It’s very hard, especially this time of year to curb appetite.

One thing that helps me is water. Always have a BIG bottle of water with you, and drink plenty of it. ESPECIALLY when you’re eating. It helps fill your stomach so you eat less.

Also chew gum ti help prevent cravings for snacks. And keep healthy snacks around to help with the need to munch. Like sunflower seeds or non fat baked crackers.

Its not easy, but once you get out of the habit, it gets easier and easier.

Sit ups and push ups during TV commercials. That’s what I do. >_> It helps a little.

Oh, also; working out with weights boosts your metabolism, so you burn more calories when resting. :)

Best of luck”!!

work out silly

i have a very simple tip for you, coz this one works for me. In the morning before u do all your tasks, Drink hot lemon juice with a little sugar and in evening before you sleep. Eat lots of healthy foods too and lower your comsume of carbohydrates. Eat more vegetables and fruits.

well since you work at night and you say theres nothing healthy to eat then, why dont you bring some fruit with you? like apples and bananas? they taste good and i hear there good for you, way better then and icky cake thats makeing yu unhappy. when you see something that you wanna eat but know that you shouldnt tell your self bad things lol that sounds silly but it works for me like if i see a hugggeeee greasy cheesesteak ill tell my self “dont you dare eat that, you see that huge lady/man over there? if you eat that there going to turn into that and then mom n dad are going to cut you off the monet train”
i know you can lose the weight if you relle buckel down n set you mind to it! good luck! ;D

Im so proud of myself i walked/jogged 5 miles this morning and ate eggwhites and an orange for breakfast!!

Sorry i just wanted to share that with someone :)
