help change your body

I really want to lose 15 pounds before winter break which is in a month. I DO NOT WANT DIET PILLS AT ALL. Please hellp??

All you need to lose weight is a good healthy diet - lots of fruit and veg, and exercise. Try jogging, running, sit ups, take up a sport.

It takes time and motivation, there is no quick fix. Good luck :)

Fastest and Healthiest way to lose 15 pounds?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Yeah so I really want to lose 15-20 pounds by March30. Any Ideas? Thanks for any help you guys are to me.

Well, you are probably going to want to alter your diet to just veggies (not literally, but the closer you are, the fewer calories you are actually consuming while still eating healthy), and try to burn 600 or so calories a day more than you normally would. It’s generally considered that 1 mile of walking or running is 100 calories, swimming and skiing are probably more for the same amount of time as running. I played a lot of DDR, which is also very effective.

Figure 2000 calories a day to maintain weight, and you are looking to lose 52500 calories in 70 days. That’s 750 calories a day, so I overshot. So any combination of less calories eaten plus exercise that equals 750 calories a day will work out just dandily.

How do I lose 15 pounds in one month?

I am a female and im 12 going on 13. I am 5′ 7 and I weigh 140. I want to lose 15 pounds in a month before school starts. I’m moving back to a school I used to go to and I want to look completely different. I can’t go to the gym and it rains alot.

if you don’t mind running in the rain, jogging is a great idea.

One thing that works for me is: before I eat, I drink a large glass of water, then if I’m still hungry, I won’t eat as much as I would have.

also, fyi:

1 pound = 3500 calories.

If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight.

ie, if you eat 2000 calories per day and burn 2500, you will lose 1 pound every week.

the average person burns 1500-2000 calories per day, just being alive.

powerwalking can burn 200-500 calories per hour.
exercise bike can burn 200-600 calories per hour.
swimming can burn 100-800 calories per hour.
jogging/running can burn 300-1200 calories per hour.

*********VERY IMPORTANT************

when trying to lose weight, very important to drink lots and lots of water ! ! !
You should drink at least 10 glasses per day, like 1 glass every hour !

This helps your body get rid of the fat when you are burning calories.

How would be the best way to lose 15 pounds in 2 months?

I need and want to lose 15 pounds in 2 month but the healthy way.
what would be some great tips and tricks, and maybe some websites.
I would really appreciate the help.

Hey, i’m also trying to lose 15 lbs in two months :P things that i have been doing aree: i got an account (free) on medhelp.com and you can make a weight loss tracker. You put in your goal weight and start date and end date then it gives you a graph where it shows you what weight you need to be on which days to reach ur goal…sorry if thats confusing :P It really helps alot.. i always say to myself to stay under the red line :P

You can also join communities like spark people where theres alot of motivation from others.

For my workouts: I’ve been doing HIP HOP ABS and its amazing ! i lost 4 lbs this week (: the vids are on youtube (crappy i know, but at least they’re free [:) I’ve also done the "slim in 6" vids but i find them quite boring. And somedays, if i’ve worked out alot that week, i just put in my ipod and dance… i know i sound like a loser but you really do get a good cardio workout. :P

For my diet: Really the only changes i’ve made are i stopped eating junk food and replaced my snack cravings with fruit or something of that nature. Its actually very easy. Just think to yourself "is what i’m putting in my mouth right now going to get me closer or further away from my goal?" And also before you eat junk think to your self "is it worth it?" if its not, then put it back. Also, i cut out all beverages except water.

All this is working for me and i hope i helped you out too :)
