health or losing weight?

I hear ya, we can definitely blame them for their laziness but not for their ignorance. Corporate America is driving them to the brink. What time do they have to learn about nutrition and proper forms of exercise, not to mention what they are being subjected to with false labeling and all the no fat no carb non sence. Who could know? \n\nMost people have families and are busy with their hectic lifestyles but that is no excuse for letting their health slip away from them. They say they have no time but of course there is always time for the PC, television and or video gaming. \n\nTo the point of the question, this is sorry. I used to train with this very hot German girl, my best friend from childhood. Two month with me in the gym and she was getting so tight and looked totally hot and everyone noticed and complimented her. She on the other hand had it in her head that because she was gaining weight (The new muscle) things were all wrong. So she stopped completely and went on a series of fad diets, lost all the lean body mass and now looks like a soggy cherio, go figure.

Well I've tried some of the stuff and finally i realised that there is nothing better than doing a proper exercise routine and managing your diet. You will feel fit and healthy if you follow a good routine of exercise and get good sleep. I also have tried drinking plenty of water and it helps in loosing weight.

Does your boyfriend care about your well being, or is this a joke.  Seriously, you need to stop gaining weight and try to lose some.  It won't do you any good if you die because of health issues and your boyfriend will move on.

These answers are funny, but to be serious ... I've recently lost 40 pounds with diet and exercise. I'm on a 1200 calorie-a-day diet with Jenny Craig till I reach my goal. To keep it off, I plan to keep these healthy things as a part of my lifestyle - being active and eating the right things. The most encouraging thing I've found is that I don't have to go hungry if I eat the right foods - including veggies and other healthy things. Also I've changed some of my thinking because there's something wrong if I'm rewarding or pampering myself with food all the time. I don't think there's a magic diet pill or quick fix for losing weight and keeping it off - diet and exercise are the way to go.

I know you told us not to tell you that you don't need to lose weight, but...You don't need to lose weight. What you need to do instead is tone your body--you will look like you've lost ten pounds, without the adverse effects of having actually done so--and you'll be stronger and feel healthier, as well. I'd suggest signing up for a gym membership and getting a personal trainer who can help you tone your body.

Exercise is great and necessary ... \nTrue weight loss depends on what you put in your mouth, and you're body's ability to change what you put into your mouth into energy.

I think to lose weight, you need to do a few things:\n\n1. Ask yourself-do you really need to lose weight? Check out some charts from the government on height vs. weight and see if you are in a healthy range. If you are but still feel overweight, maybe you just really need to tone up-weight bearing exercises can help with that. \n\n2. Ask yourself why you want to lose weight? The healthiest answer is for a healthier body. Don't do it to impress anyone or compete with someone else. Do it for yourself.\n\n3. Don't think of it as "diet", think "lifestyle change." Honestly, the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. No matter what diet book or program you use, the bottom line is calorie restriction...no matter how they package it. \nBut this doesn't mean you have to be a freak about it. Simply make some adjustments to your portion sizes, add some exercise, choose healthier foods etc... These things can add up to burning more calories than consuming-which will end in weight loss.\n\n4. To make it as simple as possible-walk for exercise, eat lots of fruits and veggies, find low calorie alternatives to your favorite, fattening meals (like pizza...which I love...yum!) and reward  yourself for goals met. Also, don't get too hung up on the numbers on the scale or the size of your pants. Try to focus on your energy level, your mood, your complection...how you feel in general. \n\n5. Start slow, don't give up (if you really are overweight) and try to make it fun. Try new hobbies, try healthier dishes, exercise with friends/family etc. \n\n6. Of course, if you may have any health problems-make sure to consult a doctor first.

I guess you really have to weigh the odds here. It is a major surgery and with that come risks. You have to ask yourself are the risks greater to me if I don't have it or if I have it.  But it's only a short term cure. As with all things, diet and exercise are the keys to losing weight.

Depends how much you value your health. Dramatic weight loss can be worse to the body than actually being overweight. Can't the photo shoot be delayed?

weight is not meant to be lost quickly. That causes injury.

Sometimes . Fortunately i don't have  any  weight problems, so i don't have to worry about THAT aspect.  I know that healthy eating has more to it. And i really  wish i could say  - yes, always. But... there are so many delicious things out there! And its  such a pity they are almost always unhealthy :)

Because now you are doing something right. The trick to losing weight, is doing it slow. It's not possible to lose weight fast without getting sick. If you lose something like 5 lbs a month, that's a good constant decrease in weight that leaves you looking and feeling healthy, with none of the deprived feeling you usually get with crash diets.

As you say, its chicken and egg!\nYes Im fat, but I am losing it after getting a wake up call and being diagnosed as diabetic in June this year.  I think being overweight you get a gradual erosion of self confidence and self respect, and it nose dives from there...;\nThen of course there is GUILT....you dont want to go there...lol

Health concerns that you have and a suggestion for weight loss programs. While I am not obese, I am at an unhealthy weight for my age and it worries both myself and my doctor. She's made some suggestions to me for weight loss programs (Weight Watchers) as well as exercise and suggestions on food. Be open with your doctor and let them know you're worried. They're there to help you.

No, its a bad idea. Not only will you keep your real weight (as opposed to water weight)  your skin is likely to break out into a nasty rash which will make it tougher to EXERCISE, the real way to lose weight along with a sensible diet.
