Cut out the junk food (or at least greatly cut down on it) and load up on healthy food. You want to concentrate on getting fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and a minimal amount of good fats like olive oil. Drink lots of water..

Do Cardio (walking, jogging, running, step climbing) for about 30 mins… And weight lifting, everyother day.. And make sure you get enough sleep..(7-8hrs).. And if you love.. Crunches and etc add them in too..

• 1) CRUNCHES/SITUPS – Lie flat on your back and with your knees bent; lift your shoulders off the floor without using your neck.
• 2) LEG RAISES – Lie flat on your back, raising both legs from the floor at the same time in a fluid movement.
• 3) REVERSE CURL – Lie on your back and bend your knees towards the chest, while keeping your hips on the floor.
• 4) CAPTAINS CHAIR – While sitting on a sturdy chair, grip the armrests and slowly lift your knees towards your chest. Keep your back straight and do not use your neck muscles!
• 5) FLUTTER KICKS – Lie on your back with knees bent and your feet flat. Straighten both legs and alternate lifting each leg at 45 to 90 ° angles.
• 6) FULL SITUP WITH TWIST – Lie on your back with knees bent and your feet flat. Contract your abdominals and raise shoulders off the surface. Twist shoulder towards the opposite knee and return to starting position.
• 7) STRAIGHT LEG OBLIQUES – Lie on your back and lift your legs straight into the air. Rotate your legs to either side alternatively, whilst keeping your legs straight at all times.

Good Luck..!!

Drink only water or unsweetened tea. Sodas and juices have a lot of calories, but they don’t fill you up. Even diet soda has been known to trigger cravings for sweets. However, drinking water has been shown to speed up your metabolism.
Avoid salty foods. You should not eat anything that contains a lot of salt. You should even avoid putting salt on the foods that you do it. Salty foods cause your body to retain water, which makes you weight more and look bloated.
For 10 days, you should only eat fruits and vegetables, and occasionally lean meats (watch the salt content!). Do not eat any breads, pastas, dairy products, or fatty dressings. This will cause you to lose any water weight that you have been retaining, making you look and feel slimmer.
By exercising for at least 30 minutes every day, you can increase the amount of weight lost.

You can eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want; just don’t eat the other things.
This diet may be too low-calorie to sustain long term. You should only do it for the suggested 10 days.
The weight that you lose is likely to be only water weight. You will probably gain the weight back when you return to your normal eating habits.

Here is what I would do. Use an almost crash diet without feeling sick. Eat 3-4 times a day with only the right amount of servings of calories. Eat breakfast (cereal with whole grains, low fat milk, and fruit) ,lunch (turkey sandwich no mayo ,water, and even low fat chips) ,snack ( anything to get some fruit in like a low fat smoothie) ,and dinner ( meat , water , veggies, and a little potatoes). I lost almost 5 pounds in about 3days and with a little extersize you could lose 10 pouns in about 4 days. Hope it helps. P.S. Never go on the celbrity diet you will just get sick.

Helpful Tips for weight loss:

1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch

Keep to a 1,200 food intake

Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) …and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn’t seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.

I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body’s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

What kind of workout are you doing ? I know you’ll need to do cardio to loose that thin layer of fat, then proceed with muscle strenghtening. Also, you should be eating 5-6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism going otherwise your body is going to set into starvation mode, which isn’t what you want.

Admin answers:

Unfortunately the body is not capable of spot reducing weight. You lose weight over the entire body. Eating a diet of celery and water is not healthy for the body. The body needs other nutrients. Also, granola although it looks like its a good snack really is not, unless you make it yourself and do not put alot of sugar in it. The best diet is everything in moderation and do not drink your calories, meaning stay away from soda and stuff

Admin answers:

I’m far too tired to break it down into the specifics, but I will give you a basic overview.

The minimum calorie intake a person must have is 1200 calories a day. So from now on, start cutting around 200 calories a day until you reach 1200 and absolutely NO LESS. Do not starve yourself as that is extremely detrimental to the entire process. Basically the sweet spot, calorie wise, is 1200-1500 calories per day. That said, ditch all the junk food, no dessert, no ice cream, no soda, no candy, no white rice, no white bread, NO JUNK FOOD. PERIOD. (Diet soda contains 0 calories, but its still horrible for you)

Drink water! For your weight, you should probably be having over 12 glasses a day as indicated from this article: http://www.shapeupshop.com/weightloss/water-weight-loss.html

Exercise. If you want to lose 50 pounds, that means you cant go walking. RUN. 30 minutes a day minimum, best in the mornings before breakfast. Breakdown of that 30 minutes: 15 minutes warmup (light jog speeding up to medium run), 15 minutes cycle (2 minutes light jog, 30 seconds sprint), walk a lap or two to warm down. However, i strongly suggest you run not only on a track, but be careful not to overwork yourself, as you may develop stress fractures, if you are not used to running. Lifting itself will not burn very much fat, but increasing muscle mass will help keep it off. For now however, i suggest you ditch the gym for some good old cardio such as jump-roping and running until you are around 180 before you start hitting the gym and pumping weights.

If you are actually intent on losing that 50 lbs, you’ll stick to the basic outline I gave you EVERY DAY. No breaks, no days where you can eat anything you want. If you can follow it through, you’ll see dramatic results. Best of luck to you.

I did Jenny Craig and it is a good program, but very expensive. I spent approximately $400 a month on food, not to mention the extra I spent on the veggies and fruit I had to eat. Weight watchers does have some pre-packaged foods, but it also works with food you can make yourself. If I had it to do all over again (and I need to lol) I will be going to Weight watchers so that you can actually learn to eat right, not just pick a package out of the freezer and eat. JC you don’t have a lot of choices of food and it gets boring. I did it for 6 months and lost 40 lbs. But, you need to exercise or else you will plateau and that gets discouraging

I ate fruits veggies meat(not red meat) stuff like that not packaged with preservatives i also ate canned fruit and veggies.DO NOT drink soda or alot of milk.stick to juice(with real sugar) and water.Do that and repeat for over a month and you’ll definitely see a difference

Admin answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Changing your diet to only healthy foods is the best thing you can do and will ensure you will lose weight if combine with walking everyday especially.

You can eat how much you like if you stay within these 3 guidelines and still lose fat naturally and gradually. You should lose 10lbs each month on average.

1.eat only steamed lean meats, eggs, healthy fruits ,vegetables, nuts, grains, & yogurt..2. Drink only water, juice, & milk..3. Walk or do some physical exercise 1-3 hour every day.

(btw, recommend you also to buy an electronic food steamer ((Very cheap)) and a rice cooker as makes it very easy to prepare healthy meals ,,add a bit of olive oil and pepper, spices on top of steamed vegeatables, fish or chicken to add more taste if wish as these are healthy too.)

Admin answers:

Well, a lot of people are probably going to comment with some new ground-breaking exercise program, with scientific evidence to back it up. I’m going to keep it simple:
- junk food makes you bloat. So try and avoid it for a while. (soda and fried foods, especially)
- everything you do burns calories, literally everything. When your body has burned through all of the calories that you’ve consumed, it starts slowly consuming your fat. So get active!
- try and exercise 3 or 4 days a week. Find something you enjoy, whether it’s jogging, pilates, tennis, etc.
- make little changes to burn more calories. If you’re watching tv, do 15 or so pushups/squats/crunches/etc during every commercial break. If you need to catch up with a friend, take a walk with them instead of IMing or texting. If you’re babysitting, play tag with the kids.
- drink more water.
Good luck

Admin answers:

You have to burn more calories than you take in. IF you need to loose it bad, then you need to diet also. I’m not talking drastic changes. Just eat more vegies, no sodas, no candy bars. You also need to lift weights. I would say walk atleast 10 miles a day.

Calorie control is the key. For every 3500 calories you burn, you loose 1 pound. Same thing for gaining, for every 3500 calories that you burn, you loose 1 pound.

Your body naturally burns a certain amount of calories per day WITHOUT exercise. Go to this link: http://walking.about.com/cs/calories/l/blcalcalc.htm. Put in your height, age, weight, and activity level and you’ll get home many calories you burn in a day.

For example, I naturally burn 1800 calories per day, so I decreased my calorie intake to just 1300 per day (1800-1300=500 calories burned per day) hence, with this, I would loose a pound a week (500×7=3500 calories burned per week) Follow me?

This reeeally works. I did this and lost 25 pounds in a few months!!! Combining this with exercise like jogging DRASTICALLY speeds up the weight loss. You’ll see the pounds melting off of you…Trust Me!!

Also, drink LOTS of water (2.5 liters/day), eat healthy (cut out sugar & processed carbs), and split your meals up into 4-5 SMALLER, more frequent meals per day instead of 3 large meals (this keeps your metabolism going strong throughout the day).

Sorry, this is so long, but trust me…this works and it’s easy once you get in the groove of it.

Leg lifts, scissor kicks, and crunches if you have access to an incline bench do the crunches on and incline. If you do not have access to an incline bench hold weights in your hands as you do the crunch motion. Don’t do sit ups they have a resting point. You don’t want to let your abs rest. Except at the end of each set for about 30 seconds then on to next set. Honestly less is more I do 3 sets of 20 on crunches, leg lifts and scissor kicks I do them every day. Aerobic exercise is key to do like an hour a day. I know its hard with kids but aerobics boost your metabolism. Which helps burn that stubborn belly fat. Walking is the best thing. Some one recommended a fat burner supplement those are usually protein. If you are not working out HARD that will pack more weight on. Hard meaning body building.

Calories is a large topic when it comes to weight loss. We need to learn 3 things: the volume of calories in our food, the volume of calories a certain activity expends every sixty minutes, and finally our own personal daily allowance of calories. I found the responses to all of these questions by visiting the website in the box below, they have lots of guidance, I shed 10 pounds by doing as they advised.

Admin answers:

I’m seeing a lot of excuses for why you can’t do this. The first thing you need to do is change your mentality – NO EXCUSES! Planning to fail guarantees failure.

The only way to lose weight, get fit and stay that way is the slow way – healthy diet and regular exercise.

No dieting: dieting ends, a healthy diet is a lifetime of good habits. A basic healthy diet: lean meats, dark veggies, whole grains, lots of water; reduce processed carbs (soda pop is Satan!) and increase fiber. Snack on fruits and veggies instead of salt and sweets. WW plan encourages this sort of eating – use what you learned from Florine! Allow yourself a splurge once every two or three weeks – it’s easier to be good if you know there’s a treat in your future. Educate yourself – there are thousands of websites with nutrition information. You can tell the good ones – they aren’t selling a quick fix. Everybody has different needs – find what works for you and stick with it.

Exercise: start easy and work your way up. Make the time 3-4 days a week – an hour walk with the stroller, a stroll on the treadmill, whatever. NO EXCUSES – it has to become a habit. After a few months start challenging yourself – add leg weights, join a gym, take dance classes, something. Add exercise to your day in small ways: take the stairs instead of the elevator, do isometrics at your desk, ride your bike to school instead of the bus. There are exercises you can do that involve your baby – healthy for you, and your baby will learn to be active, too.

Sadly, exercise doesn’t burn enough calories to lose much weight – two miles on the treadmill equals about half of a Big Mac. But exercise is irreplaceable for a healthy heart, stamina and flexibility. That means a longer and more active lifespan. Again, education is the key – anatomy and physiology is the owner’s manual for your body. Avoid websites that are selling the Patented Nuclear Abdominatorizer of the Week – they are more interested in your wallet than your health.

Don’t quit just because you fall off the wagon one or twelve times – that’s just an excuse for laziness. It took years to develop your bad habits; it will take time to change them. You will make mistakes – forgive yourself and get back to work.

Remember – your biggest obstacles are laziness and unrealistic expectations. Your best tools are perseverance and education.

Good Luck!

Have you tried a low GI diet I have PCOS as well and was told it is one of the best ways to eat with insulin resistance.

Admin answers:

In two months of course you can but it will take some effort on your part. It all depends on how motivated you are man and the number one thing here is going to be your diet. Anyone can go out and run or walk for an hour or more everyday but the most important part is what you put in your body. We often think of eating as a social event where we gather and often eat the same type of things as those around us (greasy, fatty, cheeseburgers from Mcdonald’s) but the truth is eating is not social and never was. Eating is survival; is is fuel for your body to maintain. Now that most of us have office jobs our bodies don’t have to survive like they used to. Not to mention that the food we eat as most Americans does not help at all what so ever. So I would just recommend going to google and searching for some low fat and calorie meals. Don’t worry about carbs unless they are the wrong type of carbs. Our body still needs a little energy from carbs to do workouts. But i hope this helps

Admin answers:

Step 1

Focus on muscle building as well as cardiovascular exercises. While you should focus on working your chest and stomach muscles, you should also continue to work all the muscles of your body. By increasing your muscle mass over the entirety of your body, you increase your metabolism, which means your body burns more calories throughout the day. For cardiovascular exercise, running is the best type of exercise to melt away fat. If you have lower back or knee problems, you can also walk or ride a bike. Do at least 30 to 45 minutes of non-stop cardio exercises three to five times per week.

Step 2

Use crunches to build and tone your abdominal muscles. Lay with your back on the floor, bend your knees while keeping you feet flat on the floor and then fold your arms across your chest. Slowly raise your upper body toward your knees lifting your shoulders about six to eight inches off the ground. Hold at the top for one second and then slowly lower your shoulders back to the floor. Perform three to four sets of 20 to 25 repetitions three times per week.

Step 3

Perform leg raises to tighten up the lower areas of you belly. Leg raises focus on your lower abdominal muscles. Lay on your back with your legs stretched out but knees slightly bent. With your hands at your side, slowly raise both legs off the ground about eight to ten inches. Hold for one second and then slowly lower your legs until your feet touch the ground. Perform three to four sets of 20 to 25 repetitions three times per week.

Step 4

Perform regular push-ups to help tone your chest and belly. Push-ups are a great exercise to help build muscle in the middle chest, shoulders and arms. While in the push-up position your abdominal muscles remain contracted, giving them a static muscular workout. To perform, lower yourself onto your knees, place your hands flat on the floor shoulder-width apart. Then straighten your legs with your weight on your hands and toes. From this position, slowly bend your elbows and lower your body down, keeping your back straight, until you are about one inch from the floor. Pause for one second and then push yourself back up to the starting position. Perform as many repetitions as possible for three to four sets twice per week.

Step 5

Perform standing push-ups to help tighten up your lower chest muscles. These are easier to perform than regular push-ups and should be done after the regular push-ups. Find a sturdy counter in your home that is at least waist high. Take two to three steps back to a point where you can lean forward and place your hands shoulder width apart on the counter and support your body weight. With your back flat, slowly lower your body until the lower part of your chest touches the counter edge. Pause for one second and then push yourself back up to the starting position. Perform 20 to 25 repetitions for three to four sets twice per week.

Get the 5 set or 6 set (don’t get it with the DVD).

Ps, if you don’t want to put on too much muscle, use light weights (I suggest getting all 5 sets):

“An Apple A Day…” – Cider Vinegar Health Benefitstopic posted Fri, October 13, 2006 – 12:18 PM by Craig

Many people are now convinced—Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV), that wonderful “old-timers” home remedy, cures more ailments than any other folk remedy and has been highly regarded throughout history. In 400 B.C. The great Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, used it for its amazing health qualities.

The reported cures from drinking Apple Cider Vinegar are numerous and include: allergies (including pet, food and environmental), sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, flu, chronic fatigue, Candida, acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, gout, and even heart pain. Apple Cider Vinegar breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. It has also been reported that a daily dose of apple cider vinegar in water has soaring blood pressure under control in two weeks!

For centuries, the benefits from cider vinegar to fight infection, promote digestion, fighting osteoporosis, have been well known. One of the first goals on the way to great health is to restore the body’s pH to the alkaline range. As nearly all chronic illnesses take place in a body that has become acidic due to the gradual depletion of its mineral reserves, it is logical to check on the body’s acid/alkaline balance and to work towards maintaining it in the alkaline range. The state of the body’s acid/alkaline balance can be easily measured by testing the urine using pH strips.

INTERNAL BENEFITS:
. Rich in enzymes & potassium
. Naturally supports a healthy immune system
. Helps control weight
. Helps soothe dry throat
. Promotes healthy digestion & pH balance
. Helps remove body sludge & toxins

ACV is also a natural antibiotic germ fighter, fights E. Coli and other bacteria. It is an excellent remedy for food poisoning and helpful in digestive upsets. ACV helps control and normalize weight and improve digestion. ACV helps relieve arthritis stiffness and rheumatism.

Use two teaspoons (2 t.) in a pint of water daily for yourself—or one teaspoon in the dog or cat’s drinking water—as a healthy tonic. Drink a daily tonic of apple cider vinegar to help you keep the right pH balance in the urinary tract, since the proper acidity creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria and yeasts that cause these infections.

EXTERNAL BENEFITS:
. Helps maintain healthy skin
. Helps promote a youthful, healthy body
. Soothes irritated skin
. Relieves muscle pain from exercise

ACV helps to maintain healthy skin, promote youthful, healthy bodies. Soothes pain of sunburn, the itch from bug bites, and the sting from plants. ACV helps prevent dandruff, itching scalp, baldness, and dry skin. ACV soothes tight aching joints, sore muscles. Apple cider vinegar also removes sebum and environmental and product buildup on the hair shaft.

Mix organic apple cider with pure raw honey and drink at night before going to bed. Great for calming nerves, promoting relaxation and relief of bone related ailments. Adjust the amount of vinegar and honey for comfort and taste. See my recommended recipe here:

RECIPE:
250 mL (8 oz) Purified Water (warm enough to melt honey)
1 to 2 teaspoons Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic recommended)
1 to 2 teaspoons Honey (Local, raw, non-GMO recommended)

(Honey comes from flowers and has a very light energy. I recommend honey from flowers that are known to provide support for heart and lungs. Use local honey to help provide relief from allergies and build immunity.)

Apple Cider Vinegar is proving very beneficial to people and animals with arthritis because it breaks down calcium deposits in the joints while re-mineralizing the bones. It has shown to be equally beneficial to dogs with hip dysplasia. ACV is also effective for urinary tract infections, and it lowers high blood pressure. In animals, it is helpful in skin and coat problems and in replacing potassium depletion. (Cranberry juice is also a well-known home remedy for urinary tract infections. It prevents bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract.)

A new University of California-Davis Medical Center study shows that daily consumption of 12 ounces of apple cider or apple juice can reduce the risk of heart disease. And the benefits don’t stop there. A recent Cornell University study found that the antioxidants in apples also inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer cells.

ACV has been found to protect arteries from harmful buildup of plaque. Many heart attacks are caused by high amounts of fats and cholesterol in your blood. The fiber in ACV helps to absorb fats and cholesterol by expelling them from the body as waste materials.

ACV is used to promote the health of veins and capillaries; it is also useful in assisting in the health of the heart. The potassium found in apple cider vinegar is also beneficial to the heart.

The dietary fiber in ACV is beneficial in controlling glucose levels in the blood. Minerals like manganese, calcium, magnesium, silicon and iron develop bone mass and make them stronger. It is also a rich source of amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

ACV boosts the immune system and acts as a natural antiseptic and anti-biotic. Apples contain Vitamin C and flavonoids, which helps with wound healing and in reducing the severity of colds and flu symptoms. Apple cider also has acetic acid, plus ion-futynic lactic and propionic acids. It is the richest source of amino acids known.

Apple cider cannot cure cancer, but it is valuable to have around to help fight free radicals in the body. Beta-carotene, found in apple cider vinegar, is a powerful antioxidant, which helps to neutralize the free radicals formed in the body through oxidation. To prevent these free radicals, and to keep them in check, we need antioxidants to rid our body of these potentially dangerous compounds. Left alone, free radicals have the run of our bodies; they damage cells, which leads to cellular degeneration. The pectin in apple cider vinegar adds fiber to the diet, which helps prevent cancer, especially colon cancer. Fiber binds with certain cancer-causing compounds in the colon, and speeds up their elimination from the system.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR DOGS (AND OTHER PETS):
Every home with dogs should have Apple Cider Vinegar. It has multiple uses for dogs, including: alleviating allergies and arthritis, and establishing correct pH balance of the system.

Added to your pet’s drinking water, ACV has shown to maintain the acid/alkaline balance of the digestive tract. To find your dog’s pH level, get some pH strips at your local drugstore. First thing in the morning test your dog’s urine. If the strip reads from 6.5 – 7.0, then your dog’s system is what it should be. If the pH is higher, then the system is too alkaline, and ACV can help to establish a correct pH balance.

Some other women with PCOS that I’ve talked to have also said that they found taking Glucophage was of help to them in the treatment of their PCOS. I also have found that drinking a lot of water can help with weight loss.

Another site that I’ve gone to before for information about PCOS and they also have online boards at the site and also groups for the e-mail is at: http://www.pcosupport.org (they have an elist to help those that are trying to lose weight as well)
