Here are my stats

I am female
28 years old
5′ 6
196 lbs

I used to be very in shape and play a lot of sports but excuses aside (I did have some medical problems for years) I want to get back into shape.

My goals weight is: 140 lbs.

I eat good meal choices but my snacks are the killers, I need an exercise program that will help me tone and trim down. I have a treadmill at home, it only has a level 2 incline on it and I enjoy power walking on it. I also have an exercise ball, a small bally ball for crunches and a total gym as well as 2 lbs free weights.

Does anyone know of a good program that I can stick to that will allow me to get to my goal weight in a year. I think I could lose 50 lbs in a year if I really work at it. Does that sound feasible?

Also, what should my caloric intake be if I want to lose an average of 1 to 2 lbs a week? and how much should I be working out during the week?

Hi! I’m fifteen years old, not overweight and when i have my activities during the school year I am fairly active. when i got back from my month long sleep away camp my mom informed me i had a personal trainer to help me work out. I did the first session and the trainer was nice, but then afterwards she started talking about doing my BMI, taking pictures every week, keeping a food diary. I’ve been through enough health classes at my school to know whats good for me and whats not, and i don’t want to be put through some weightloss program. I could careless about “results” and all i would use a trainer for is strictly a workout, and even then I think I dont need one. I am even unsure if i would have time for a trainer during the year with all my school, ballet, and swimming, but my mom seems set on it. She got mad at me last year when I wanted her to stop obsessing about my health, now shes hired people to do it! Do you have any suggestions how I get out of this without upsetting my mom

Ok, this is a shot in the dark. I seem to remember a program online in which you could just enter what you ate (and how much) into it, and I think it gave a total of everything you ate in the day (X calories, X grams protein, X fiber….etc).

Only thing is, it was so long ago I could be making this up, making some little program into this supertool.

But I hope not, it sounds useful at this time in my life.

Anyone have any idea/clue? Sorting through all the Google results for “diet tool” or “daily food calculator” seems daunting at the moment (have quite a bit to do tonight), so if anyone actually knows, that would save me time.

I just want an easy way to keep track of my protein and fiber intake and maybe see how I am with vitamins and minerals. I think the program was free to the public.

Thank you in advance.

How about Jenny Craig…..Nutri system….Medical weightloss etc. Who has been and what is working for you. Any heads up on what to beware off??

I just started these 20 minute Yoga workout tapes!! I love them I do them everyday…I’m really busy and this fits into my schedule perfectly…my question is can I really get results for working on for only twenty minutes a day? I even thought of maybe doing the segments twice a day…1 in the morning and 1 in the evening…..but I wasn’t sure if I needed to do the workout for 40 minutes all at once rather than breaking it up?…tell me what you think?

My main goal is to get down to 133 pounds and have a toned, athletic look.

I’ve been on an AWESOME fitness program for the past 11 weeks. I’ve been eating right and exercising according to the guidelines laid out by a fitness expert and the results have been AMAZING. My bodyfat percentages have dropped and I’ve gained quite a bit of muscle–I haven’t lost a ton of weight ‘pound-wise’ (since muscle is denser than fat), but I’m closer to seeing a 6-pack than I’ve EVER been… I’m just wondering, though, where does it all go? I’m sure some of it at first was water weight…but what about the rest? Anyone have any stats in terms of how the fat leaves the body? Ideally, someone would know ‘##% into energy, ##% through urine/sweat, ##% through solid waste…etc.” Any good info? (please provide sources…I can make up #s myself. *smile*) Thanks!

High intensity with shorter durations or lower intensity with longer durations? I want the kind that gives the most health benefits. I am NOT on a weightloss program (so don’t pick one or the other for weight loss benefits, pick what’s best for the heart and body), but rather enjoy the energy i get from a healthy lifestyle.

I’ll give you a clue…most people think I’m inbetween 175 and 185 pounds- I might not be though.

Oh and I’m 5′8 and 17 years old.

I’m about to start a weightloss program, so I think it would be interesting to see what people think before and after.

If you think this is a silly question please don’t bother answering!

Have a nice day =)
Oh and I am overweight… if that helps lol.
Also, just so you know the “program” I’m talking about, is one I’m setting up myself. I know about 6 times more about weightloss than I probably need to know, so I’ll definately lose the weight. I’ve just had trouble applying it, because I’ve been too hard on myself. I go to the gym and walk my dog everyday. I’m going to figure out all my favourite foods and figure out a healthy way to eat them.

I’m really flattered by all your answers. I’m actually 202 pounds! My goal weight is 130 pounds. That still seems kinda heavy to me, but we’ll see.

And yes I will keep you guys updated if you want. Just let me know, and I’ll send you the results. Everyone loves a success story lol =)

What worked best for you?
Thanks…I was just running a poll to see what lengths people go to, to get thin.
