Weight Loss News

Question by Paula: Does anyone have any quick, easy weight loss tips/advice/anything???!?!?!!?
So I just visited the doctors office. I got some bad news and in order to switch it into good news I need to lose weight. So I’m thinking 30 to (maybe)40 pounds. I’ll be going back to the doctors in 4 months(April 2010). So I’d like to lose it by then. I know it’s not an east task but I’m willing to work with it.
I’d really appreciate it if anyone had any advice other than the obvious.
Is there any certain excersise I should do? Certain foods I should eat?

Please & Thanks.

push ups pull ups dips jumping jacks and weight lifting, because muscle burns fat really well even after you workout or are sleeping btw dont worry about getting bulky its very difficult and takes a long time even for guys. anyway those exersises work very well and swimming laps, drink lots of water dont drink pop or at least not too much as for foods dont eat chips, cookies, fast food, mabye every now an then but if you want to lose fat asap then no junk food at all and again drink lots of water and try running hard and sprinting instead of long distance jogging

Question by Kelly M: Metformin to help lose weight?
Has anyone been prescribed Metformin to aid in weight loss? Has it helped? Of course along with diet and exercise. I suddenly gained 40lbs out of nowhere and after testing blood found I had PCOS and Hyperactive thyroid, high cholesterol, and high glucose. I have always been fit and healthy. This news comes as a surprise, but I do want to do all I can to get back to my old self. I have tried w/out meds and was able to lower my cholesterol to a good healthy level but with the diet still gained weight. Just looking for lil hope it could help even a bit.

The doctor prescribed me Metformin, but I only take it when my blood sugar go to high, because the pill make feel real bad. I don’t know if they make you lose weight. I lost about 27 pounds and my sugar went down. I have the same problem with cholesterol, I take medication and is still high. Sometimes there is nothing we can do since the liver produce it by itself. Use grape oil to cook, that take about 480 degree when you fry something. It’s expensive and you can get it in the health food store. Olive oil is good for salad, but once you cook food with, is like any other oil. You can take one spoon of olive oil before go to sleep, also in the morning take a lemon juice, that help the liver to digest, eat wheat integral bread instead of regular bread, avoid candy, coke, fast food. Try to eat salmon, fish, salad. You don’t have to starve to death, but you can eat a small portion. You will loose weight, I lost 27 pounds and I look like a grasshopper, if I keep loosing weight I will desappear. I hope I helped you.

Question by JannyReb: When you are on a plateau in weight loss, what is the quickest way to get the scales to move downward again?
I have lost over 150 pounds. You’d think I know the answer, but my weight loss has taken about 9 1/2 years time so far. I would like it over and done with. I’d like to know more things I could be doing to get the numbers to move on downward some more. I guess I am impatient, understandably. For many years I had diabetes and did not know that I had it.
I just found out 2 years ago that I have Type II and this is why it has been so very slow and difficult for me to lose. The only good news in all this is that it is not impossible for even someone like me to lose weight and change their life.

First congratulations on your weight loss. But sadly the battle is never over. It’s a constant effort to keep the pounds off. But I can say that I personally just lost 15lbs, simply by not drinking any more soda. So if your still drinking high carb drinks……stop!. You’d be suprised how much you can lose just by doing that.

Answer by Tasha J
it will help you lose weight if you are the type of person who drank alot of soda, coffee, and juice. If you cut all those out and just drink water….I believe that you can lose up to 10 pounds in a month without doing anything else! Plus it helps you to clean you out….

Question by Monica: How much weight should I have gained now that I’m 5 months pregnant?
When I got the news, I was 137lbs. And I’ve only gained 4 since than and I’m 21 weeks now, so I Don’t Know If it’s healthy or not.

Best answer:

Answer by Eryn
im currently 25 weeks and have gained 6 which is fine. I weighed 98 lbs when pregant but im 4 ’10 so its a healthy weight. If you are in a normal weight range for your height then about 21 lbs is what you need to gain and it does not usually happen until the third trimester. If you were overweight then less weight should be gained and under weight more weight should be gained

Answer by TheNightBlazer
It’s good to see he kicked the burger addiction.

I think it will definitely help him. The guy was fat as shit, he was never gonna beat the top guys in that kind of shape. David Haye would have destroyed him.
