lose weight Options

[rocky2006]

since theres always someone on this site who is an expert on any given area, can any of you help me? im kinda overweight but not too bad, and i just want to know a good excercise that i can do after school to help me lose weight. i want to have as much fat as possible gone by march 18 (spring break). im 5'10" and weigh ~173 lbs. i have a decent amount of lean mass cause i was in weight training the first semester in school and i got my bench up to ~215, while working out the rest of the body. just trying to be as specific as possible cause i really want to get rid of some weight. im already trying to watch what i eat, but it seems to have brought me nowhere. some calc said i should keep my heart rate at around 140 for fat-burning. how much are the things that measure your heart rate? i dont want to have to stop and count during an excercise to find out my heart rate. what the hell do i do for quick, dramatic results?

^ Tina ur crazy - ur not even close to being fat!


Cardio is definetly what you need!

I see a trainer twice a week to get my strength training so i can kick boys butts then I try to get in for my cardio 3-5 times a week. I go even if its only for 20 mins. I try to do a minimum of 30 mins and a max of an hour but sometimes im so not in the mood but if you do 20 mins thats better than nothing. I also bought these pills from GNC that are supposed to be like trim spa. Im a receptionist so its very easy to snack thru out the day but these have helped alot. Ive only been taking them for 3 days but its curbed my cravings for junk. But i did notice that i freaked out while working out last night with my trainer so I need to make sure im working out before I take them cuz I dont wanna freak out like i did last night.

So yeah just drink alot of water and do ur cardio! :-) I went and saw a doctor when I wanted to get really serious about shaping up and she told me to do 1hr of cardio 3 times a week and id notice a difference.

and dont make it a resolution! just start now! :-)

Its also great to have incentives like if you lose this much then youll go buy this or something like that. My mom wants me to lose X amount of weight and she said when i do shed buy me all new clothes and give me 500 bucks. So that works for me.
