biggest loser weight loss yoga

Continuing the Live Chat discussion that I started about the Biggest Loser but never got to finish since I needed to spend time with hubby--- I read your responses to it and that's actually a great point about it being sad that people have to go home. What happened with the first episode of Biggest Loser? They sent NINE people home on the first night (split up 9 teams). The reason behind it being that they want people to know they CAN DO THIS at home, without that bootcamp atmosphere.

Yes, you need to cut calories to lose weight, but you also need exercise. You can't figure that we all need the same amount of calories/day. For some people, 1200 wouldn't even be enough to support basic metabolic needs, for others, it might be too much. You need to calculate your calorie needs based on your current weight, height and activity level to get your BMR, then cut/use calories accordingly.

While crunches will help strengthen your muscles, they aren't going to do a lot to get rid of the pudge. Yoga is excellent for that, as is Pilates. You can download a yoga app or check out videos on YouTube. You can also buy relatively inexpensive yoga DVD's. Unless you know how to do it, opt for the beginners videos/dvd's. My favorite yoga is Biggest Loser, Yoga for Weight Loss. I've got to get back to doing it regularly.

m not familiar with that one either. I prefer yoga; there are tons of DVDs for that. The Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss is great.

You might want to try some yoga; it really does a great job of toning muscles. "Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss" is a great DVD, If you stick with it, you will lose weight!!

Fast workouts aren't always the answer. Walking is an excellent exercise; it will tone up your belly, legs, hips, thighs, so cellulite isn't so obvious. Aim for at least 30 minutes/day, but more if you have time (minimum 30 min/day, 3 days/week). You don't have to run or job, just go at a good brisk clip. If you carry a resistance band, you can work your arms, shoulders, back all at the same time. Yoga is also good for toning, tightening.

It sounds like you've hit on a pretty good plan there -- slow and steady is the best way to do it, so you can make the changes last. I'm not familiar with the "Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss" DVD, but I love yoga. Yoga stretches your muscles and strengthens your core muscles. I am not normally one for slow boring things either, but the movements in yoga are so deliberate it takes a lot of concentration to get the poses right. It's also very low impact.

Walking is one of the most recommended exercises; whether it be on a treadmill or outside; but of course, walking outside gives the added benefit of fresh air and mental stimulation (sights and sounds), along with the actual exercise. I've never tried the Jillian Michaels DVD (shred); I think they are a bit more than I could tolerate. I do have the Biggest Loser - Yoga for Weight Loss, though and I love it; it works if I'd do it often enough.

I'm barely a teen and am looking to lose my "carry on luggage" but it seems impossible to drop the few pounds.

Actually I am watching American Idol. I haven't watched in a few weeks. I watch the biggest loser every now and then. Maybe no one else responded because they are watching it. haha. =) I am watching this, on here, and cleaning in between. I'm crazy.

I have a GREAT suggestion for the weight tracker, to put along with the %time complete, %goal complete, to put your percentage of weight loss! (Just like on the biggest loser). I'm always wondering this number and it would be sooo motivating to see! Thank you!!!

I did Biggest Loser, Yoga for Weight Loss, one day, and spent 30 minutes on the treadmill yesterday. My legs are sore, today, so I won't push, but will do the treadmill again, tomorrow. So, how about you? Did you meet your goal for the week? If so, congratulations. If not, is there some way we can help you? Remember: We win by losing -- weight!! Wishing everyone a wonderful successful week.

Oooh, even Biggest Loser, Yoga for Weight Loss doesn't require that a knee touches the floor during a lunge.... A lunge has one leg bent with knee perpendicular to the floor, with heel directly in line with the knee and the other straight back (or a reverse lunge goes the opposite). Can you post a link to a video with the lunge you described? I'm just not picturing it in my mind.

I'm really happy that you are confident that your thyroid levels are in line -- I really wish I could mine to that point. I would have to agree that if your are "maintaining" then cutting back should help you lose. It sounds like the boredom issue might be your biggest challenge.

Welcome to our forum. I'm happy to hear that both you and your husband will be on the same program -- that makes things a lot easier...My hubby is "rail thin" so my weight loss "woes" often fall on deaf ears -- except for my buddies here on MH. I'm not familiar with "The Firm" dvd - can you tell me/us about it? My favorite is "Biggest Loser - Yoga for Weight Loss".

I also did not do real well in the exercise department. On Mon, I did dig out my Biggest Loser, Yoga for Weight Loss and did 40 min of that; however, that's the extent of my exercise for the week, with the exception of 2 hrs of mowing with a push mower on Tue, and some gardening over the past couple days.... yes, it's exercise, but ---- So - this coming week will be spent getting myself back on track. Now, it's your turn.... were you able to meet your goals?

Huge amounts of weight may take time but weight can be lost on a daily basis. Weight loss over a day or week seems more tangible, more real somehow. And definitely more motivating. I don't think intense dieting should ever be part of a plan. Restricting may also jeopardize potential weight loss. I think there are many variables that contribute to successful weight loss but I think mind-set is perhaps the most important.

Can you please tell us your height, current weight, activity level, etc are? Do you really need to lose weight or do you just need to tone muscles? I've read that it IS harder for women to lose weight than it is for men, but I'm sure that's not an "across the board" determination. I did try Mega-T Green Tea with Hoodia --- it did nothing for me......

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your mother is right -- you don't need to lose weight.

I walk, briskly, 5-6 miles/day and am not losing either, though my jeans are loser (building muscle); my doctor says I need to add in weight training, which burns fat much more quickly than aerobics, such as walking/jogging. I'll be switching back to my yoga in a couple of weeks, so we'll see how things go.

I"m not familiar with either of these programs, but I seem to remember one of our members has ordered the P90X, I think. I'm very sorry, but right off hand, I can't remember which one it was. Hopefully, she will see your post and answer or I will remember who it was and contact her for you....... Personally, I like yoga for toning and all around exercise. It works the entire body AND helps you relax. My favorite dvd is "Biggest Loser, Yoga for Weight Loss".

I have PCOS and currently take Metformin, Provera (days 1-14 of each Month) I have Atypia Endometrial Hyperplasia (pre cancerous) My treatment plan is those drugs and weight loss. It is very important that I loose this weight because this pre cancerous condition is reversable!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just stuck in a rut and don't know what to do about it. I did low carb high protein diet 10 years ago and lost 56 lbs....I need to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have the Biggest Loser game for the Wii that just came out in October? I bought it today and so far I LOVE the workout! However, every where says you can add a friend to challenge, but I can't figure it out? I want to challenge my husband, but I am struggling with the set up of the game! Anyone?? On a side note, the Wii game is AWESOME! If you have the wii balance board it is better, but heard you can use it without it too!

m actually trying to lose 50lbs. Husband and I started a WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE (wrote about it in one of my journals if anyone is interested in doing this with a loved one or friend). But I'm not losing anything and I just feel like breaking down and crying right now. I'm here because I just really need the motivation and I always have questions. I didn't realize MedHelp had a weight loss forum until just a minute ago.
