Question by stuert2343: HELP ME LOOSE 100 pounds plz?
OK, so for the past 4 years ive been over-weight because of lacking in exercise, eating alot of junk food, ( u know the concept)
Anyways, .. last week i was just walking by and realized that i hate being fat, every1 i see around me is skinny, and i wish i looked good in public, instead, i need to wear an extra t-shirt to hide my fatness
My current weight is 285 pounds, i am 6’2 , i am 18, going to college in september
There use to be days when i started exercising for 2 weeks, then i stopped ( it happened several times cuz of laziness)
Anyway……… the only thing i got in my house is a bicycle machine ( the one at gyms) and 2 15lb dumbels,

I can’t say how long it will take you to lose the weight, but the best way to start is to set out a meal plan. Though exercise helps, you have to eat healty as well. Don’t give up all sweets, otherwise you’ll just be craving them in a few weeks, but allow yourself a small indulgene from time to time, not fast food if possible. The Bicycle machine will help, but the best cardio would probably be just to start walking and then eventually running a couple miles everyday outside because the hills and outside movement will help you to burn more calories and get a better workout.

Comments on HELP ME LOOSE 100 pounds plz?
About a year is a good time frame to lose your weight. That will help get your metabolism going, and give your skin time to retract with your figure. I have just lost 80lbs myself since October, and I’m about 12 yrs older than you! I have another 80 to go, but I can let you in on what I have been doing to lose. If your serious, you can’t be lazy. No pills, or supplements, etc. are going to help you lose weight. You MUST DECIDE to lose weight. You want to get in a good habit NOW before it gets too hard. From this point on one of two things is going to happen: you are going to leave home and gain a ton of more weight, or you are going to make the decision to change, and lose it. Diet & Excercise are the key!! Let me know if you want more info on an extra “secret” (that is really no secret at all!) that has helped me burn off even more fat!

well if you want to loose 100 pounds then exercise jog like 3 miles a day go to the gym eat healthy stuff like that
Okay this is SUPER-FREAKING long, and I copied it from a WORD doc, so … that is why. BUT please read it — you may be better off printing it first. btw, I’ll be cheering for you!
1)Drink plenty of water; 8 glasses (64 oz) a day is ideal
2)No regular soda: if you are going to drink pop, only drink diet – ALWAYS (preferably caffeine free, too)
3)Eat lots of vegetables and fruit; a serving of at least one or the other every meal
4)Eat whole grains instead of white/enriched grains
5)Exercise as many days a week as possible: a minimum of 30 minutes cardio every day, and 15+ minutes strength training 2-3 times per week
6)Strongly limit sweets, fast food, and junk food
7)No fried foods
8)Limit red meats; aim for fish and chicken
9)Count your calories
Fight cravings by doing one of the following:
•Drink a glass of water
•Drink a diet soda
•Chew on sugarless gum
•Drink a glass of 100% juice
•Find something else to do
•Take one bite, and STOP
Now, if you want to achieve a healthy lifestyle and lose some extra pounds, following these rules will get you there no questions asked. And, as logic alone would tell you, the closer you follow the rules, to sooner you will reach your goal. However, there’s no need for you to plunge straight into doing all this completely, and making small changes, one at a time, will still eventually get you to your goal. For example, when it says “limit red meats”, it’s up to you how much you want to allow yourself to have. But the closer you follow the rule, the sooner you will reach your goal. Moderation and consistency is key! Don’t over indulge, and be consistent in your changes of eating and exercise.
Again, if you follow all the rules to the dot, you will see quicker results. But be careful, because if you make a change too quickly and allow yourself to feel deprived, you are ten times more likely to give up and return to your old ways. Ideally, slow, steady changes result it lifetime changes.
Expanding on “the Rules”:
1)Drink plenty of water; 8 glasses (64 oz) a day is ideal
•Our bodies are approximately 70% water, so drinking plenty is important! It keeps your skin pure and looking good, it keeps us from feeling hungry, it prevents fatigue, sleepiness, headaches, and aids your immune systems. There are a lot more scientific details, and you can easily look them up on the internet. Dehydration is the #1 cause of “afternoon fatigue”. And most people mistake thirst for hunger, so when you feel like snacking, or eating more when you shouldn’t, try drinking a glass of water.
2)No regular soda: if you are going to drink pop, only drink diet – ALWAYS (preferably caffeine free, too)
•Regular pop is full of empty calories and sugar that your body needs in absolutely no way, so they just turn to fat.
3)Eat lots of vegetables and fruit; a serving of at least one or the other every meal
•Fruits and vegetables are not only chock-full of nutrients your body needs to function, but they are low calorie and most are pretty much completely fat free, etc. When you get fruits that are in season, they taste amazing – so keep your eye out for what fruits are in season and what aren’t. Since fruits are sweet (especially strawberries!) they are great for satisfying your sweet tooth.
•Also, since it’s hard to choose good vegetables, and it’s hard to store fresh vegetables, it’s best to buy frozen veggies, because they are frozen when they are in season and all their nutrients are there. And of course, they are easy to prepare; just follow the instructions on the package.
•Like I said, try to incorporate at least one fruit or one veggie in every meal. Since you might not like them right now, what you can do is add them in addition to what you are already eating. As time goes by and you begin to appreciate the taste and figure out how you like them seasoned and prepared, you can begin eating them instead of other things. This is great! Because they are low in calorie, fat, etc., so say you eat a cup of green beans instead of chips. You eat about ¼ the calories, and less fat, and more nutrients. This = losing extra fat! Now if you want to skip the “eat veggies in addition to everything else” part, feel free! It’s just going to be quicker progress.
4)Eat whole grains instead of white/enriched grains
•I already explained to you how enriched/white grains almost completely turn to sugar and then fat in you body, and how they don’t have any of the important nutrients your body needs. Many people go on low-carb (like Atkins) diets, but this is really unnecessary and actually unhealthy. If you eat whole grains (in balance, of course), your body will use them as fuel.
•So eat whole grain pasta, rice, bread, cereal, crackers, etc. Make sure what you are eating is really whole grain by checking the ingredients: the first (or one of the very first) ingredients listed should be a whole grain, like “whole wheat flour”, or “rolled oats”, etc. Even if it says “enriched wheat flour”, then it is not whole grain, because it is enriched.
5) Exercise as many days a week as possible: a minimum of 30 minutes cardio every day, and 15+ minutes strength training 2-3 times per week
•Cardio burns fat and improves endurance; strength training tones muscles, builds strength, and boosts your metabolism so that your body burns more calories in general, even when you are just sitting at the computer or reading a book. It’s fine to take one day off a week, to let your body rest, but make sure you don’t take a day off, and then miss the next two days. This destroys the whole point! I find it best to plan on exercising every day, so that if a day comes when plans interfere and I am unable to exercise, then that can be my day off. If you have to miss more than one day a week – okay, but it’s always hard to fit exercise into a day, so make sure you actually can’t exercise, and don’t just not want to.
•Strength training: like I said, strength training increases your fat burning, tones muscles, and builds strength. It’s important not to work the same muscle group two days in a row, because when you work your muscles like that they need a day to rest and restore. That is why 2-3 days a week (doing all muscles on each day) is ideal. Pilates and other strength training videos are a great way to do strength training. Be careful not to hurt yourself, or overwork a muscle.
•Cardio: Cardio includes anything that gets your heart rate up: running, walking, biking, jump roping, swimming, sports, etc. It not only burns fat and improves endurance, but it is very important for your heat. You are far, far less likely to die at an early age or suffer many disabilities if you exercise regularly.
-Cardio can be done every day, but, especially when you are just beginning regular exercise, it’s a good idea to do an “easier” day in between the more intense days. Like one day you run (intense), the next day you walk (easier), the next day you ride your bike (intense), and the next day you swim (easier). Now, of course it depends what level you do these things at making them either intense or easier. Riding your bike slowly up and down a flat street is not intense, but riding a faster speed, going up some hills and stuff is more intense. So keep that in mind.
•Stretching: no matter whether you age going for a casual walk, about to go jogging, or do a exercise video, stretching is very important. It will make you more comfortable and able while you exercise, and it will keep you from injuring yourself – many people also say that proper stretching before and after a workout helps keep your muscles looking long and lean, rather than bulky. You may already know most basic stretches, but if you don’t, look some up on the internet or in a book at the library, etc.
6) Strongly limit sweets, fast food, and junk food
•Needless to say, sweets and desserts, fast food, and junk food all are bad for you. Your body doesn’t need them, because they have nothing nutritional or good for you in them; they turn to fat and they make you feel lazy and crabby. These foods not only are not good for you, but they are bad for you! Now if you eat them in balance and moderation, you will be fine. The less you treat yourself, the faster you will reach your goal. But really, a scoop of ice cream on Monday and a small bag of French fries on Saturday (with nothing else that week) will not hinder your results. But be careful, and it’s a good idea to write day what days you eat one of these foods, so that you don’t “accidentally” end up eating them all the time.
7) No fried foods
•Friend chicken, French fries, most chips, a fast food burger – all fried foods are really bad for you. They are extremely high in calories and unhealthy fats. They do nothing positive for you, and plenty negative for you.
8)Limit red meats; eat fish and chicken
•Red meats are meats that are red when uncooked (and usually brown-like when cooked). That includes things like steak and hamburger. These meats have unhealthy fats and are proven to clog your arteries. They don’t completely pass your digestive system, and too much will kill you! They are higher in calories and unhealthy fats, and lower in nutrients. Having occasional red meats in moderation is fine, but doing without them completely is best.
•Fish and chicken are the main healthy meats. They have nutrients and protein that your body needs, and at the same time they are low in calories and fat. Don’t eat them fried! That take away all the benefit, grilled or oven roasted is usual best, for taste and health. You can by packaged fish, like tuna, that is cooked and ready to add to a sandwich, salad, or to just eat plain (maybe with a little salt and pepper). And of course you can always buy the meat raw and cook it – if you can’t cook it, ask you mom to, or maybe at dinner one night ask your mom to make a little extra chicken so that you can store it over night and eat it the next day.
9)Count your calories
•Like I explained before, the amount of calories a food contains is the amount of energy it will give you; if you eat the same amount of calories your body needs to maintain, it will use them all up, with no extra. If you eat more than your body needs to maintain, it will store the extra as fat, and if you eat less than your body needs to maintain, it will “burn” some fat and that eventually will lead to fat loss.
•So, using the “Daily Caloric Intake” calculators on the internet, you can find how many calories you need to maintain (stay at) your current weight. If you want to lose weight, eat less than that. If you want to gain weight, eat more. It is estimated that one pound equals 3,500 calories. So, say every day you eat 250 calories less than you body needs to maintain, and you burn 250 calories exercising every day; that’s 500 calories burned every day. And burning 500 calories each day, seven days a week, will add up to 3,500 calories burned a week, which is equal to one pound lost. Now it is only safe to lose 1-2 pounds a week, and when you first think about it, this may not seem like much, but it adds up and results show more than you expect. It just takes a little patience and time. If you lose weight too fast, it is more likely to come back. Just think about it like this: you didn’t gain the weight over night, it probably came over months, or even years! So it only makes sense that it takes some time to lose it.
•Many of the calculators don’t “agree” exactly about the exact number of calories, so just use them as a guide. Don’t let yourself ever be too hungry though, because when you don’t eat your metabolism stalls, so that when you do eat it doesn’t burn as much. And of course, when you are really hungry you are more likely to overeat. So find the amount of calories that you feel comfortable at, and stick to it.
See a nutritionist, or simply go on a diet, hon. Nothing is fast, noting is immediate. It took you 4 years to gain it. It ain’t gonna go away in 4 weeks.
