Open Question: How long will it take to lose 100lbs?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I am trying to finally reach my goal, of losing 100lbs. I have workout equipment and plan to get on the treadmill for one hour a day. I need some ideas on how long it would generally take. Also, I want to eat right doing so any suggestions? Keep in mind I don’t want to limit to many food.

Resolved Question: Any personal trainers out there? What sort of workout should i start with?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Just got a new treadmill. Im 6′5″ 25 yo male and don’t want to get too chubby. Also i think i am generally quite unfit.

Open Question: Need a low-impact video?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I need a low-impact workout that really burns calories, but is a lot easier than Tae-Bo. I am NOT young. During the summer I swim laps a mile a day. But when the weather is too cool for swimming I need a replacement to burn the calories. I work out at a gym with a trainer, so I don’t need more weights or pilates. Walking my treadmill just doesn’t burn the same amount of calories as swimming. TIA
I already diet with healthy foods, I’m losing weight, and I take a detox shake. What a need is a low-impact video to take the place of fat-burning that I get so easily in my pool in warm weather. And a video that is not too hard on my fragile bones.

Open Question: How do i workout in the gym? ?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Resolved Question: What are the best shoes for running?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I just started to workout at the gym and I do a lot of treadmills and elliptical cross trainers you know leg workouts but lately my shoes have been a bother to me while im working out. Not even into 5 minutes my feet starts to hurt alot. The back of my feet’s skin starts to peel and bleed. And that prevented me to stop working out until it heels but every single time I go back and do my workout in a short time it starts hurting more and more and im getting really fustrated. People say I might have got shoes that is not my size but I don’t think that is it. Other people tell me there is shoes for running that is comfortable for my feet but I don’t have any idea which ones I should get. Please help me Thank you sooooooo much ^_^

Resolved Question: someone please tell me what’s going to happen :(?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I have been battling anorexia for 2 plus years now. I used to swim 4 hours a day, 7 days a weeks and now I’ve stopped doing that. During that time I was swimming, i was eating about 800 or 900 calories a day. After I stopped swimming, my parents thought I was getting better. I would say I was eating more but I really wasn’t, despite the fact that I was seeing my primary care physician, a nutritionist, and a psychologist. Now it’s serious. I either gain some weight this week or they’re sending me to residential treatment.

This is my new diet plan that the nutrition gave me yesterday:
Breakfast:
1 protein bar
1 bag of lowfat popcorn
100 calories worth of lean turkey breast

Snack:
2 graham crackers and a tablespoon of lowfat peanut butter

Lunch:
2 slices whole wheat bread
lean turkey or chicken
lettuce
tomato
honey mustard

Snack:
1 granola bar, 1 piece of fruit

Dinner:
1 cup pasta
4 oz. grilled chicken
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup cooked vegetables

I’m absolutely terrified to do it. Terrified. I mean, yes, I’m still allowed to exercise but today I’m feeling like maybe I don’t want to and I never allow myself to skip a day of exercise. I either run 45 minutes, or do a 60 minute treadmill workout. What’s going to happen to me when I start eating the things she’s given me. I am terrified to get fat and gain a ton of weight. I don’t exactly know what I weigh because the specialists are handling that for me, but I’m 5′6″ and I know I’m nearing 100 pounds (just slightly over).

HELP PLEASE.

Resolved Question: How To Lose 30 Pounds By Homecoming? ?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

i’m about 145 pounds. i’d like to get down to about 115 by homecoming, so i can get a dress to show off the new me.

i’m thinking about going on south beach, because other people in my family say it works really well, but i need some recipes!! my mom hates to have to make a totally separate meal for me, so she said if i go on a diet, i have to cook for myself. and i’m fine with that, but i need some recipes.

as for exercise, i know you should do cardio and weight training. and my dad just spent a ton of money on an elliptical, treadmill. stair climber thing, bike, and a bowflex. we also have normal hand weights (3lbs and i like 6 lbs). but i dont know where to start!!! what machines should i use? and for how long?

i’d also like to tone up my butt/thighs/abs. what are some good exercises for that?

oh, and are there any workouts that will specifically target areas that homecoming/prom dresses show off?

thanks in advance!
