What are some inexpensive ways to lose weight?

Question by SheDrums88: What are some inexpensive ways to lose weight?
I’m 21 years old, and when I was pregnant with my son I gained a little over 90 lbs. This was 2 years ago, and I’m still really struggling to lose the weight. My weight will fluctuate up or down about 10 lbs. at a time, but it always settles back in the same range of where I’m at.

Everyone I’ve asked always just says “eat healthier, join a gym, and buy weight loss supplements”…but this advice does me no good. My situation is more complicated than that.

I left my son’s father about 8 months ago because he was abusive. As of yet, he’s not making his child support payments, which leaves both my son and I a budget of about $ 600 a month to live off of. After bills are paid, I’m left with about $ 50 of spending money for the month. Add in the cost of diapers, and I’ve got about $ 20 to $ 30 left to spend.

I live in a very small town, and the only gym in town has a $ 60 monthly fee, so that’s not an option. I can’t afford to buy a stroller, so taking my son for runs or long walks is out. I can’t afford exercise equipment for at home, and I definitely can’t afford to join a program like Weight Watchers or South Beach Diet. Expensive bottles of pills are also not a luxury that I can afford.

On top of all of that, healthy foods here in small town Minnesota are very expensive. Fresh fruits and vegetables are insanely costly, and even simple switches from store brand white bread (89 cents) to whole grain wheat bread ($ 3.49) really add up and become very hard on my budget.

What’s a girl to do?

You do not need a gym to get healthy.

As always, diet and exercise are the key.

As for diet, try eating 6 smaller meals a day with a protein shake for breakfast and lunch. A single serving of fruit for mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack. Dinner should be a sensible meal- minimize rice and breads. Try this for a two-week period. Then, vary your meals accordingly.

Workouts should have weights and circuit type of training. Free weights are great for toning and weight-loss. You can try dumbbell squats with shoulder presses. Here is a great and effective circuit training on a track field. Walk for 2 minutes (as a warm-up), jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, then jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, etc…do this for about 20-23 minutes. This works great.

By the way, do not be a slave to scale. Check the mirror also. It will show results.

This is just a start. Keep working out and eating properly.

Good Luck.

Hi, I’m Charlotte; I know this is a lot to write but i’m 14 and I weigh 8stone exactly. erm I have just recently bought the Davina Mcall video –> Davina Fit and Davina. I want to lose like a stone or half a stone; thats why i bought these exercise dvd’s. (I know i’m young)
I have been doing those exercises for about a week now; and I just wanted to know a really good healthy balanced meal to eat. Please do not write down (acai berry) I do not want to take “weight loss tablets” or “drinks or food to reduce weight loss” Those to me are very risky to my health.

I would totally appreciate your ideas for a 7 day a week meal plan. Oh just to lett you know. I am vegetarian on thursdays and sundays. and i do not eat pork and beef. I eat fish, chicken, lamb, turkey on mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays.

I need a diet / exercise plan that people have had good experiences with…?

Question by : I need a diet / exercise plan that people have had good experiences with…?
I don’t want to starve myself on a diet but I want to do one that is balanced enough to work. I don’t eat junk food, drink pop, or eat a ton of processed foods (my diet has been mostly organic when possible for the past several months) which is why I am needing extra help getting this weight off. I’ve been bigger since I was young and I’m done dealing with it. I lost 40 pounds on the atkins a few years ago but I mostly gained it back, so I would like to know if there any diets that actually work out there. My goal is to lose 50 pounds by the end of the year. I don’t really know a specific way to lose weight through exercise, I don’t mind going to the gym everyday I just want to know what a good plan is to follow while I’m there. Right now I’ve been doing the “weight loss” option on the tredmil (makes your heart rate fluctuate a lot) and it has given me ok results but I would like something with a little more results. Any advice?

“No Such Thing As Spot Reduction”, Truth or Myth?

Question by : “No Such Thing As Spot Reduction”, Truth or Myth?
People often ask “If I do this exercise will I loose fat here?” and the answer is often “No, there’s no such thing as spot reduction.” But I don’t see how that is. If I’m doing exercises for a particular muscle group, in my case my belly/abs, then you’re telling me I won’t loose fat there? Then what will happen, because I was under the impression that exercise meant weight lose, and toning. What do you think?

Answer by Robbo
Ugghh, the acai berry scam is as I said… a scam, the spam websites just link you to a shopping site which sells you products which have no scientific evidence that they contribute to weight loss.
If you type in some of their “feedback ” from satisfied customers into google, you will see the number of websites which are grouped into this scam
Stay safe and dont get Scamed ! !
hope this informed you a little bit.

ps. there is no quick natural way to lose fat.. Else everyone would be lean and skinny ! :) cheers

I’ve hit a weight loss “plateau”. WANT to lose 10 more lbs in a month, what more to do?

Question by Tulip: I’ve hit a weight loss “plateau”. WANT to lose 10 more lbs in a month, what more to do?
I’ve lost 10lbs easily in 1 month with a good diet and little to no exercise. This time I added exercised to my diet and I can’t seem to lose anymore weight. Yes I understand that I may be building muscle mass, but there has to be some other way where I can get out of this plateau and lose a little more weight within a month. I lost 10lbs in April, stopped my diet for a month, and started it back in June. I’ve gained 2lbs, which I’m not worried about, yet it’s been over a month since I started exercising while back on my healthy diet as I was in April and the weight just wont budge.

I’m 5’6, 135lb, my BMI is normal. If you wouldn’t tell great looking people at the gym to stop working out because they look healthy already and are fit, then please by all means do not tell me this nor tell me that I am obsessed with my weight.

I have increased my jog from 2 miles to 5 miles (3 during my lunch hour at work and 2 when I get home after work) I lift weights every other day.
My diet includes lots of water, fruits, veggies, fiber, protein (whey protein also)

What else to do?!?!

Skin Care For Adult Women With Pimples

Pimples has an effect on some 25% of men and 50% of women at some point in their adult lives. The treatment of pimples can be difficult for some women who also really want to pay attention to moisturizing their skin.

Pimples in women can be brought on by numerous different elements. Some are straightforward to figure out. The use of heavy cosmetics can bring on pimples. This is basically remedied now. There are numerous new cosmetics on the market today which are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t block pores. Also foundations are much whiter than they used to be. Some powder foundations are now made with minerals, which are much whiter than heavy liquid foundations.

The use of some hair goods can bring on pimples. A basic and effective way to prevent pimples due to hair goods is to pull your hair back off of the face. Pull you bangs back so hair care goods don’t come into communication with your skin, primarily during the hot summer months.

Pimples in women can also be brought on my hormonal changes such as those associated with pregnancy. This means that the pimples will go away after childbirth. Some remedies can bring on pimples. Some birth handle pills can bring on pimples. If you observe an pimples flair-up after starting any new medication talk to your doctor.

There are numerous different types of pimples treatments on the market. A spot treatment with a topical product, such as a benzoyl peroxide or glycolic acid may be in order for you and may be effective. If your pimples is wide spread a visit to the doctor may be in order. He will have more suggestions and may start you on an oral antibiotic.

There are moisturizers and cleansers out now that take into account the needs of maturing skin along with being effective against pimples. Remember, the over use of any drying agent on the epidermis can actually cause the creation of more oil, and more pimples, a catch 22. Make sure that you follow the epidermis care routine suggested by the manufacturer of any product you use. Regular facials can help to diminish pimples flair ups. The aesthetician will evaluate your individual skin care needs and come up with a program suited to them. It may take 2-3 weeks of following any over-the-counter routine before you see a difference in pimples.

Has anyone tried the weight loss “tricks” from Kevin Trudeau’s book Natural Cures?

Question by sugarsweeteegrl: Has anyone tried the weight loss “tricks” from Kevin Trudeau’s book Natural Cures?
Has anyone who has read Kevin Trudeau’s book ,Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About, tried the things mentioned for weight loss? Have you had any sucess? If so what things did you or didn’t you follow?
Well so far no one has even came close to answering this question…I DIDN’T ASK if anyone thinks they guy is legit and blah, blah, blah (yes, even I have my doubts…)I just simpliy wanted to know if any of the things he has mentioned in his has helped anyone LOSE WEIGHT OR NOT and what things DID THEY TRY. Try answering the question without all the getting into all the crud, PLEASE

Best answer:

Answer by Solo
This my opinion, but I believe Kevin Trudeaus is a total “rip-off!” His book talks more about controversy and government scandals than true methods and cures for the medical conditions he claims he can cure. Also, once you get the book, you need to pay more money for his website or other monthly journals.
I believe he preys on the fears of the public and create false hopes for the people without many options to make people purchase his book.

My advice, eat healthier, exercises more. Simple law of universe, burn more calories than you eat to lose weight.

My 2 cents.
