Common Questions and Answers about Weight loss goal of 25 pounds

weight

Safe weight loss is 1-2 pounds/week so at the most, you should only try to lose 20 pounds. Trying to run off that much weight will be very hard for your body, because running is very high impact. You will have much better luck if you mix the running with some weight training. You should check with your doctor and ask for some simple blood tests to rule out a hypothyroid or insulin resistance condition.

I am hoping to get back to where i was.. i am 5'3 & weighed 125-ish prepregnancy & now i am in the low 160's.. my goal was to only put on 25 pounds and honestly i am embarrased i have gained that much already (28+4 weeks).. but i definately plan on breastfeeding and getting back into my walking routine. Thank God i am having a spring baby & will be able to get outside more often..

Congrats on your weight loss this year! I have to slightly disagree with the responses to do crunches. Not that doing crunches will do any harm, but ab work alone isnt enough to change your stomach. You arent going to see any kind of definition in your stomach if there is still a layer of fat covering your abs. And crunches don't burn enough calories to trim your stomach down either. Cardio will be more effective for trimming your waistline than crunches would be.

5 grams per pound of body weight in carbohydrates in your post strength training meal 1 piece of fruit in your first meal of the day on cardio days 10-12 times your body weight in calories (if you have a higher body fat, use the lower number), or for a more accurate calorie intake, I’d suggest you take a look at the BodyMedia FIT Calorie Tracking Armband Eat green veggies or other low carb, high fiber veggies at every meal (see below for examples) Fill the rest of your calories with healthy fats

I'm curious what kind of weight loss some of you had. Is it common or just depends on the person. Also is it the drugs causing weight loss or the fact that you may not have an appetite.Maybe this will be the only positive of the tx!!

I am 43 and started working with a trainer 13 months ago. I did not start losing weight until about 2.5 months into it. Your body is changing losing fat and gaining lean muscle, your clothes will show the change that doesn't show up on the scale. YOu will begin to lose weight. I have lost almost 50 lbs, and feel great. My goall is to burn 500 calories a workout. I lift 3 days and do cardio 2 to 3. Sometime, I do 10 minutes of cardio after lifting days. Hang in there, you'll be glad you did. Ps.

Down 25 pounds as of May 16 using Topomax (400mg) and common sense eating with doctor supervision. My goal is as it has been ...ONE MORE POUND! God is good all the time!

My doctor will not give me Clomid unless i lose 25-50 pounds but my goal is to get down to 300 pound. Does anyone know what a 28 year old womens insulin level should be? Mine is 20!

My blood pressure is now in the low range (averaging 108/58). At what point in my weight loss (goal of 220 or lower) would you think I'd need to have my BP meds changed (if at all). I just thought a member here may have already gone through this and would have some advice. Thanks in advance!!

I have committed myself for a 25 kg weight reduction goal,for the next 20 months. Maybe by following a strict regimen of activities I could put off the weight i gained.

) I've done a LOT of research on anti-depressants/anti-anxiety drugs and weight gain/weight loss. To answer your question, it can be both. Weight gain only happens in about 25% of people taking antidepressant meds. This can be due to feeling better/enjoying food more and/or from changes in metabolism/appetite as a side effect of the meds.

While your thyroid conditions can make it more challenging to lose weight, losing weight is entirely possible and an undertaking that is best done among the caring and nurturing support of friends. These friendships, like you have and continue to develop in this community, can provide the support and motivation to move forward together as a group to meet your goals.

If you have low blood sugar issues, you will probably not do well with the very low calorie diets many of these ladies use. Quick weight loss usually does not equal permanent weight loss. Find a healthy, sensible diet you can stick with for the long term, eat frequently, and exercise according to your tolerance. Slow and steady wins the race.

try keeping track of your calories for a week or so and see how many calories you really are taking in versus spending, and if the difference between calories in and out is too great then you need to eat more, our bodies are designed for survival, if you put too many harsh conditions the body will do everything it can to preserve itself. also don't forget that sleep deprivation can hinder weight loss as well as not drinking enough water during the day.

(reminds me of the phen-fen clinics) I need to put the weight loss to good use, and take control of my life and GET TO THE GYM. I want to be more tone now. But, it did work to get the weight off. I need to loose 10 more lbs to be at my goal. Using the internet, you could do this yourself, but it would be VERY,very expensive. Take in mind Phentermine on the net is over $120 for 30 pills and less then $30.00 with a script. With a clinic you do have to weigh in and that helps too.

Just made an appointment with a medical clinic for weight loss using the appetite suppr.,water pills and B12 injections... goal is about 25-30lbs loss. Just curious of someone who has been on similar program if it truly works and how long it usually takes to lose the amount of weight I'm wanting to lose. I've tried other weight loss gimicks and obviously with no true results. Thanks for any help or comments.

Then, a highschool friend died unexpectedly! Anyway, the xanax (.50 mg) helped me sleep, but the weight loss doc doesn't prescribe extra meds--have to go to the pcp for that and I don't have a refill so I am taking the xanax sparingly. The clinic told me he usually tells patients to take some benedryl at night. Or Tylenol PM. Hope that helps. I do that, too, but my youngest doesn't wake up every night. 10 lbs is great for 3 weeks on phen.

I just wanted to make people aware of this possible side effect. Weight loss and weight gain may be difficult to manage while on SSRIs so it should always be taken into consideration. I take zoloft for anxiety and it has been a tremendous help. My doctor simply monitors my weight and we are working together to make sure I eat properly and don't loose too many pounds.

I am hoping it works because I am starting it tomorrow, just for weight loss. One of my friends tried it and nothing happened for a month, and then she lost 25 pounds. Maybe it has to do with insulin in people who are not diabetics. I can only hope. Wish me luck.

I don't think I'll weigh less but my goal is to try not to gain over 25pds since I started over weight. If you lose weight in the very beginning I been told thats ok and normal due to the nausea. I lost 5 pounds in the first 3 weeks but I've put it back on and they said as long as it didn't continue it would be ok. AS of last week OB said everything was going perfect!! so I'm going with that!!

It's much easier to think of losing 5 pounds than it is to think of losing 50 pounds, which can seem daunting. Once you've reached the first goal of 5 pounds, it's easier to reset the goal for another 5 pounds. In addition, making small changes helps, much more than trying to make huge ones. Too many times, we "go on a diet", and while weight is lost, most people don't stay on the "diet" forever, so weight is regained once the person goes off the diet.

does anyone know if there is anything I can take for an appetite suppressant or perhaps another weight loss herb?? I'm desperate to get this weight off. I was wondering if Hoodia or something like that would be safe. It says to consult an physician before using??

17 weeks of water-aerobics 15 weeks of cardio in the gym 13 weeks of Pilates class I do 2 x 1 hour water-aerobics sessions per week Plus 1 x 75 mins of Pilates at a Class Then 2 x sessions at the gym - 25 mins on an elliptical trainer 25 mins on an exercise bike Leg weights on abductors and adductors I cannot do any weights on the hands/arms due to joint problems.

I forgot to include my current progress for rhonda1961. I'm now on day 20 of the Phase 2 and I've lost a total of 18pds and 2.5" off my waist in just 20 days (start weight 232.5/end goal 195pds) - I know, pretty amazing! I've tried many, many different programs with minimal to no real success. Other have said you just need diet/excercise. Well, I am a very active middle 30 age guy, 6' 3", I enjoy working out and have a fairly muscular build, in addition, I'm an avid cyclist.

i just got the book the weight loss cure and i am ready to get started but, i am concerned about getting too involved in the protocol because i am afraid i will not be able to get the HCG injections that i need for phase 2.... in the book HCG is not for the help of loosing the weight but, for helping with the stored fat that you see on people who have lost a lot of weight and their skin is just hanging there..
