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.

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

A. Ways To Lose Weight Fast
3. Limit any treats containing sugar to three times per week. This includes chocolate, desserts, ice cream, cake, cookies, pastries, etc.
4. You should include a lower fat source of protein at most meals: fish, chicken, beans, cottage cheese, or low fat yogurt. Have nuts, eggs and red meat occasionally but not every every single day.
5. You should plan at least one dinner and lunch every week without cheese or meat. Build those meals around whole grains, vegetables and beans to increase fiber and reduce fat.
6. Reduce the fat content in your milk products. If you are currently drinking whole milk, reduce to 2% fat. From 2% reduce to 1%. Choose lower fat cheese and yogurt. When you buy yogurt, also check that it does not contain sugar.
7. Have at least two servings of fruit every day. This can be for dessert or snacks. Choose fruit that is in season.
8. Drink water instead of sodas, juices, milky drinks or alcohol. Avoid diet soda � the sweet taste only encourages you to crave sugar. Hot water with a slice of lemon can be very refreshing in the morning.
9. Include at least two servings of vegetables at lunch and dinner. If you are getting hungry, have more.
10. Eat slowly. The body is slow to register when you are full and it is easy to eat too much if you are racing through your meals.
