But I did different things and now I'm 125 lbs. -0- I lost approx 20 lbs. I still don't like my body, but a lot of people told me I lost a lot of weight and ask for diet tips. But I'm still not satisified. Hope this keeps me track of what i eat. <3 I'm going to start the Ketogenic Diet; (when go 5 days without eating carbs and 2 days with for 3 weeks. I heard it works.

^ you can not be serious....

[charri]

I've noticed that a lot of these diets are unhealthy...
and people are dead-set on barely eating.

[eternal.happiness]

Today was my first time doing yoga on my own and it felt good ^^
This is a start to something with great motivation :]

I think my body is getting use to eatting cereal and milk or oatmeal everyday and
I heard that if that happens then your metabolism won't do its job like it should
do when you eat breakfast.
Should I eat something else?
Been eating these 2 for breakfast every morning and I think I should change.
But I can't think of any other alternatives for my breakfast plan.

Any ideas guys?


BTW:

I lost a pound!


catchthesky. - Omo O_O did you faint yet? Good gracious hun you can afford
to eat more than that.
Don't starve yourself like that.
Carefully plan out what you eat ahead of time so you can reach your goals.
It looks like to me you got lazy and just snatch the nearest thing you saw in your kitchen.
A good goal is one that takes time to do not quick fix because you won't get the same satisfaction.
in the long run.

Don't do it ! I did something similar to that... when I wanted to lose weight REALLY fast for when I went on holiday (I ended up not going at the last minute) and all that happens is that whilst I was doing it, I thought I was losing all this weight and inches but as soon as I started eating normally and gained it ALL back in under 2 weeks, I lost 7lbs as well. It doesn't work .

You should try eating AT LEAST double what you are, if you do that and burn off an extra 600 cals a day (not including sleeping, walking around school I think) then I worked out you should lose around 3lbs a week! Extra workout burns off more.

It's seriously not healthy to aim to eat 500cal and no carbs for 5 days a week... Try eating more carbs in the mornings and and if you really wna do no carbs, do it at night.

[tomahn]

Any daily intake under 1100-1200 cause your metabolism to slow down.
This is your body's protective measure against starvation.
You may think that you've burned a specific number of calories per excercise, but be warned.
Those numbers represent the calories burned when your metabolism is at full capacity.

You will undoubtedly lose weight if you eat under 1000 calories a day.
However, if you are excercising along with cutting what you eat, I'd recommend you eat at least 1200 calories a day.

The best way to find out how many calories you burn a day is to to get your RMR(very similar to BMR), multiply this by the number that represents your activity level, then add the amount of calories your body burns through means of digestion. This will give you the best estimate of how many calories your burn per day. Then the substract the amount of calories that you eat for the day to find your net calorie loss. There are about 3500 in each day so 500 calories per day multiplied by 7 days a week would equal one pound of fat lost per week.

Disclaimer: Some people say that they lost a pound per day(i.e. 10lbs in 10days), but that's nearly impossible. That means the net difference between calorie intake and calories burned would need to be 3500. You would have to run(not walk) nearly a marathon(roughly 22 miles) everyday to lose a pound a day.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me a PM.

You people have no idea, haha! But I cut down on the sweets, and I exercised EVERYDAY
as you can see and it really makes a difference even if it`s a little.

routine I got into. I`ll post how much weight I lost at the end of my summer vacation.
Goodluck to everyone!!!!& I hope you all reach your goals by the end of your vacations too.

You see I wasn't very hungry yesterday. -0- It's not like I didn't eat on purpose, I just wasn't in the mood. That's why I didn't eat that much. But usually I eat a lot. And I just started my period, so my stomach hurts a lot too. -0- And my parents aren't helping either. I'm trying to lose weight by eating less and excercising more, but my parents thing I'm going anorexic or something. They keep comparing me to linsay lohan and crap. -0- Sigh. But yeah, maybe I should give up the carbs thing. I mean, the only thing our family eats is rice o_o; its going to be hard for me to do that.

I heard eating small 6 meals a day helps boost your metabolism. And I jog every morning to help keep my metabolism running all day. But the thing is... I know it's wrong to not eat at all to lose weight. But whenever I eat something, my brain tells me that it's going to make me fat and I stop eating. Maybe that's the problem. -0- I dont know, but these days, even though I'm hungry, I don't eat. I hope I'm not going crazy or anythng. My mom and my sister are like really skinny. No matter how much they eat, they stay skinny. But I'm really chubby compared to them. Maybe that's why I feel so fat at home. I dont know, but I'm aware of the calorie/metabolism thing. I read all about it on the internet. I had to reasearch a lot of stuff before I decided to go on a diet. But I feel like I'm crash dieting, cause I lost 1 lb yesterday for just eating junk food. Sigh, I dont know......

[azn_kira]

Woot! I haven't actually posted here before but yesterday i finally reached my 10pound mark so i decided to post to celebrate=D

Start Date: June 4
End Date: Aug.21 <--school starts = eat more/less excercise T_T
Start weight: 152.5 ( T0T hideous)
Current Weight: 141.5
Goal weight: 125-130
Height: 5'4 (although i've actually grown about a centimeter this month O_O so i'm hoping to grow another inch by aug.21)
age: 16

Diet:
morning: i take a bowl/tupperware and the night before i fill it w/ rice/meat/veggies...probably around 350-500 calories. I've also started drinking a cup of milk every morning (90) after i realized i might FINALLY be getting a growth spurt

Lunch: a couple peices of watermelon/fruit (50), some protein, either mixed nuts or a little bit of meat (100) and 1 hardboiled egg(200 T0T) I try to cap my lunch at around 200-300 calories though

Dinner: an apple, or some other fuit/veggie (cap. at 50 calorie)

Before bed (i got to sleep around 10) i drink 1 cup of milk, again, cuz i want to grow that inch XD

Total Daily Calorie Intake: 800-1000 calories. I used to eat around 2500 a day..or in really bad days up to 3000 >.<

Excercise:

Signed up for a gym membership, for the first 3 weeks i went everyother day,but this week i've been going everyday so i can be in the 130s by next monday (july 1st)

Gym:
20minutes treadmill, fast walking
20 minutes stair climbing machine
50-100 ab crunches @ 75 pounds now
and either leg toning or arm toning (i alternate) for 100x (legs) 25X arms ( i have weak upper body strength >->)

In addition i "flush" my system every weekend using saltseaflush ( you may have seen it in the master cleanser thread) and for the rest of the weekend i only eat some fruits + milk

I haven;t had a chance to re-measure my waist/thighs yet but i'll edit this when i get a chance

I'm really happy about my height increase, since when i was little i NEVER had a growth spurt/was always the shortest..so i'm hoping to be 5'5, 5'6 by the end of this diet. I've also gotten used to eating only 1000 calories, and i'm pretty sure my stomach shrunk cuz i can't eat as much.

Hi catchthesky,

Here's how one can understand why eating 6 small meals a day helps with weight loss. Although we are out of times where starvation was a threat to humans, our bodies do not know it. Anything that cannot be burned will be stored to fat which can be broken down later and used as energy. Let's just say you eat three 600 calorie meals a day(totaling 1800 calories). The amount that you can burn between these meals is nowhere near 600, so any calories that you cannot burn will be stored as fat. If you eat six small meals at 300 calories each(similarly totaling 1800 calories), your body can easily off most of the calories that eat from the last meal resulting in less fat stored in your body. Also, the continuous intake of calories will give your metabolism the energy it needs to keep at it's "optimal" level.

As for jogging in the morning to keep your metabolism going throughout the day, I've never heard of this idea. Vigorous running may help boost your metabolism for up to 48 hours no matter what time of the day you run. But keep in mind that this post-workout calorie burn may only add up to 50-100 calories a day.

Yes, rice is an enemy to the calorie-counting fiend. But I don't think you should follow the Atkins Diet by cutting carbs. Here are two reasons why: It is very unhealthy to cut out a piece of the nutrition table. And if you're Asian, you love rice and you will never be able to give it up in the long run. I'd say next time you opt for half a bowl of rice, instead of the full shabang. Remember, carbs is a runner's best friend.

Although the physical part of dieting and exercise is not simple, the idea behind it is. Burn more than you eat, and you will be on your way to a slimmer you.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

I lost 20 lbs before from stressing out+change of diet (moved to another house)+ LOTS of green tea drinking. It takes awhile but if you aren't in a hurry, try green tea! It really helps (it takes like 6 months before you see any results though) but I lost alot of weight from that alone. Im trying to lose 20 more lbs though.

Hm, I see. I suggest you take it slower, eating rice will definitely please your parents too XD well if they're anything like mine then they will lol.

[JamiexAi]

Stats-

Age: 16
Height: 5'6"; 168cm
Weight: 137 lbs
Goal weight: 120 lbs

I used to be a yo-yo dieter because I HAAAAATE cardio workouts with a passion. I would lose up to 15bls then gain it all back T_T

I finally decided to exercise in an attempt to permanently lose weight!

Here's my regimen:

My breakfast is usually a big one to boost my metabolism. Korean food.
My lunch is a bit smaller. Usually American or Korean food.
My dinner is very small. Grits and an apple. I heard a small dinner really helps with weight loss.
Snacks are green tea, fruit, or yogurt.

I exercise twice a day because it's really hard for me to do cardio for more than 30 minutes.
So I jog on a treadmill twice a day, everyday, 30 minutes per session.

I tone my muscles with weights 3 times a week.




Is this enough to lose weight? Should I eat less or exercise more?

Tips please!

[Brusky]

[MySugarCat]

Jamiexai -- I think that your target weight is too low since you're 5'6" ^^;. I think about 125 lbs would be a good, healthy weight for you.

[tempuraicecream]

breakfast; peanut butter, apple, eggo sandwich
lunch ; chicken caesar salad, 1 slice of pizza, cranberry juice

excercise: walking 40 mins....
