Q. What are the complications of losing weight, that you know of?
I know over all, losing weight is a good thing. But after losing a significant amount you could have a "empty bag" syndrome. 1. loose skin hanging down 2. turkey neck 3. more wrinkles on your face 5. half empty hanging breasts, etc.
Do you know of any more complications?

A. Losing weight in order to achieve a healthier weight is a good thing! But losing weight in an unhealthy way such as starving, throwing up, and other bad ways will result in loose skin and all of the things you mentioned. If you want proof, I know a person that is really close to me, and he/she dropped 140 lbs in like a year in an unhealthy manner. Stufff went downhill and he/she looked a lot weaker, got the gross stuff you mentioned in your questioned, and DID get weaker both athletically and strength wise. Another proof is that the people on TV such as the biggest looser lost tons of weight and look good after the show. I am assuming that they were watched carefully by many experts, trainers, doctors and such in order to loose weight in a healthy manner. I hope this answers your question.
What is the difference between losing weight and losing inches?
Q. Can ssomeone please tell me what the difference is between losing weight and losing inches. I was advised that working out on the treadmill loses inches and not weight but isn't that the same thing?
Also what are Cardio machines?..does a stepper count as a Cardio machine?
Thanks ;o)

A. Losing weight means losing pounds, while losing inches means losing size, or getting smaller. Often times when people increase their exercise, they do not lose much weight but end up losing inches. This is because muscle is heavier than fat, but takes up less room. This is why size measurement are usually more accurate than weight. Working out on the treadmill you could lose both inches and weight, but since your legs would become more toned, you probably wouldn't lose all that much weight.
When people refer to a cardio machine, they just mean a machine that allows you to work your cardiovascular system (your heart). This includes an elyptical or stepper, a bike, or a treadmill. You don't need a machine, though. Running and walking are great exercises, and you don't need a treadmill to do them. Swimming is another great exercise.

What is the better way to work out for losing weight: working out with weights first and then aerobics or do a?
Q. What is the better way to work out for losing weight: working out with weights first and then aerobics or do aerobics first?
A. Let me put it simply you are not out to lose weight you really are planning to decrease your overall fat composition and increase your muscle mass. Well to begin to answer what type of weight are you interested in losing. I will assume that you are like most Americans and are interested in increasing lean muscle mass. So therefore you wish to decrease your body fat percentage and hopefully increase your metabolism.
Weights properly used combined with a balanced diet are the fastest way to do both. By lifting weights, getting proper rest, and eating a nutritious diet i have found to be a far more effective approach than to spend hours doing aerobics.
Lets face it during a typical 30 minute aerobics session you burn 400 calories eating a typical cheese burger negates that progress. However if you lift free weights i.e. barbells or dumbells to increase your overall muscle mass so that you burn more calories a day at a more constant rate ;this combined with a diet wholly composed of things other than processed foods you will feel much better in the long run. Now by increasing lean muscle mass i do not mean that you will bulk up to be the incredible hulk. Here are a few things to implement into your workout.
1)high intensity exercise is far more effective than a low intensity exercise such as aerobics. interval training, sprints and the like..
2)proper diet, adequate sleep, and free weights(diet being the most important)
3)avoiding processed foods and drink lots of water

How does losing weight make periods stop?
Q. I know it's kinda random but ever since it happened to me a while ago I've been wondering, why does losing weight stop me having periods? Should I consult my doctor?
A. losing weight doesn't stop you having periods -but being underweight makes you stop having periods i think you need to go to the doctors and ask them to check your weight and if its not your weight then you need to ask for some tests to be done because you may have a problem i hope this has helped you out
