Q. I am 5 foot 5 young woman and I weigh 109-110 pounds. My goal is to be healthier. How much weight should I lose? What are some of your best weight loss tips?
A. Health and weight loss do not go hand-in-hand. Yes, if you are overweight, then weight loss can be one step towards better health. In your case, however, you are at the very lowest weight you can be without being underweight. In fact, you are slightly underweight as it is, with a BMI of 18.3.
If your goal is to be healthier, then I will have to advise against losing weight. If you do lose weight, even only a couple pounds, you will actually be damaging your health by causing yourself to be even more underweight.
I don't think you need any weight loss tips right now. It would be much healthier for you to gain a few pounds than to lose an ounce. If you truly are working to achieve better health, then I recommend you focus on eating three healthy, balanced meals every day, and get in at least thirty minutes of exercise. In addition, if you're drinking 8 glasses of water per day, you will be well on your way to superb health.
Your weight is already very satisfactory, hopefully you're aware of that. Be healthy! :)
Cheers.

Quick weight loss tips for women at home?
Q. Hopefully someone can help me out here. Could anyone recommend some tips for quick weight loss? I'm wanting to work out at home if possible and I don't have a lot of money for equipment. Are there any exercises that anyone can suggest? Any help would be awesome!
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. Pushups, situps, crunches, squats, run around the block. The usual. If youre a beginner and pushups are too hard you can do them against your wall, or against a couch.
You could also watch tv then during commercials do pushups or situps until your show comes back on. Make it fun. Always stretch before you work out though (Roll your neck, wrist, hips, ankle, try to touch your toes, etc.)
Eat healthy. Put down the chips and grab an apple, or put down the soda and grab a water.
Cut down on the candy, if you crave chocolate, eat an alternative, like Nutella on toast. It taste EXACTLY like melted chocolate, and it's healthy.

What are some easy weight loss tips?
Q. What are some easy weight loss tips?
A. Alright, I am trying to get this down to a simple statement to save me time and you reading.
Wanna lose weight, quit buying into the crap on tv. This is how you do it. Man and woman, your bodies work the same in regards to energy consumption.
1. Do like the Europeans: eat 5-6 meals a day at least, small proportion.
Example: Morning - toast, jelley or bagel and low fat cream cheese
Mid afternoon - some fruit or snack
Afternoon - sandwhich and vegetables
Mid evening - small snack
Dinner - something light like fish and rice
Just an idea, but the idea is not big proportions at all but very small. Dont eat out you cant control proportions eating out the restarante does.
This tricks your bodies metabolism into a increased fat burning. I.e. your body thinks another meal is coming soon so it uses more stored energy and doesnt bother saving as much = (less absorbtion by the intestines). Less meals equals body saying "crap dont know when I am getting fed again start saving = (slow down intestines so we absorb more cals)
2. Exercise right: you need to get that heart rate up to 60% AT LEAST and keep it there for more than 30min to burn calories correctly.
3. DRINK more water. Especially you women. Hello your body needs it so give it. Avg. 8 liters a day, not too much you can drown yourself.
4. Women - eat adequate calcium (so your not hunchback when your older Osteoporosis), and dont dodge carbs thats retarded and will decrease your brain activity.
Men - increase protiens when you start the muscle building stage (hint: only after you lost the fat) also you need more carbs than women.
Summary: pretty simple, it works and its proven not like the garbage thats on tv or like the adkins thats proven to kill you. Its just how our bodies have been working since we were alive. Oh and quit weighing yourself thats not going to do you any good. Your weighing everything in your body but you want to know how much fat.
Google search how to check your body fat % and stick with that gauge and not a scale because you will see more detailed results that your wanting and not weighing things like how dehydrated you are or whether your constipated lol.

I am 13 and overweight, what are some ways to lose weight?
Q. I am 13, 5'4" and about 190 pounds. I would really appreciate some weight loss tips.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A. The only way I've ever been able to lose weight is to keep a food journal, write down everything you eat and drink every day. Jot down the number of calories from packaged foods and drinks, you might be surprised what is (or isn't!) fattening.
Don't "diet" but instead try to figure out what you will be happy eating long term that is good for you. People who are able to keep weight off don't usually follow an exact diet they read in a book, but instead figure out what works for them as individuals (I read that in a Consumer Reports article reviewing various commercially marketed diets). You can use a particular diet as a starting point, if that helps you, and then charge it to fit what you like.
The first week keeping a journal, don't make any goals, just get an idea how much you are currently eating. Then start to set small goals one at a time, like reducing the number of snacks, eating smaller portions. If a particular kind of food seems to be your weakness, try to find lower calorie alternatives you like just as well, or if you can't, you might want to limit the number of servings per week. You can also set goals like trying a healthy food you've never had before. But be gradual when you set goals. Don't try to do too much at once, and don't get down on yourself if you don't meet a goal.
It does help to increase exercise. But whenever I try to stick with some list of exercises, I always let it slide eventually. So that never worked for me. It helps to find something active you do for fun, or it is just part of daily living, that you don't think of it as exercise.
Most important, it's about health, not weight. Many young women are way too thin, which is harder on your body than being overweight. Taking care of yourself may not seem important now, but when you get older, the better care you take of yourself when you're young, can pay off by giving you a better quality of life. Eat good food, relax and don't get too stressed, find activities you really enjoy, have fun.
