Weight loss with an injury?

SWIM SWIM SWIM. The best excercise in the world. Swimming is totally weightless and it works a series of ways. It is Aerobic and resistance training in one. Aerobic works to get your heart rate going and thus will increase metabolism and help circulation which all burn fat. Also if you are swimming and not doing a stationary type of water work out then your breathing becomes regulated by the type of stroke you are swimming. Resistance training is from the water friction. Every step and stroke you make is like having a few pounds on your hand. Resistance and light weight training is important when losing weight because you have to tighten the skin as well. Good luck, it will change your life when you lose the weight, but make sure you do it right.

No, I lost weight recently and never had that problem, if you are sore it is most likely from something else.

NO PAIN NO GAIN.  There is no easy way to lose weight.  \n\nTwo things:  1) Exercise\n             2) Decrease calories intake

Join a gym and talk to an instructor. He or she can give you great professional advice. Good luck and congrats on your new weight loss! :D

You need to talk to your surgeon or attending physician. There are some activities that they will recommend that you do not participate in for a specific amount of time due to the possibility of re-injury. You're still in the recovery phase and while you shouldn't "sit home and feel sorry for yourself" patience really is a virtue. You're still healing.\n\nGood luck and glad to hear that you're doing well!

A friend of mine seriously lost at least 20 lbs playing. He was quite over weigh before hand. But he was very good and did the very hard levels and played alot i'd say in a little more then a month (not everyone will lose weight like that). DDR is fun but you need to do other stuff to help keep the weight off like eating well and doing other exersise too, drinking water and staying active help.

Have you tried exercising 7 days a week and beginning to eat correctly? I have had a chronic shoulder injury for over 2 years now and Im a pretty serious athlete. I've had depression for a while now and I've developed some other psychological disorders as a result of my injury. When I get over my shoulder injury, stand back.\n   I recently sold most of my posessions so I could get money in order to take time off from work to heal my MINOR injury. When I was working out before, I didnt have depression, and it has been proven that exercise can help to keep depression at bay.\n   IF(thats a big IF), you are a young and healthy women that is able to workout, I would take advantage of this blessed opportunity and workout seven days a week. You dont need the drugs. B-complex vitamins are helpful with depression, but it is said that alcohol will eliminate your b-vitamin supply. So if you have depression, stay away from hopps(in beer), and other alcoholic substances. Take a 10 dollar b-comples vitamin, and do different exercises each day of the week. Bye bye depression.

How much what?  Money compensation? Time to recover?  Physical trauma?\n\nYou should discuss with your regular doctor (M.D. not chiropractor) and perhaps get a referral to a specialist MD for your injuries.  Chiropractors are helpful, but you need to assess how serious the strain/misalignment/swelling is.   For example, if it's a back injury you may want to see a back specialist and have a MRI done of the region.    \n\nPhysical therapy is very helpful.  If you don't feel like you're getting good progress with your current Therapist, try a different P.T. office.    They're not all the same quality.  I have found some Therapists give everyone the same exercises and time on the treadmill but don't listen much to the patient's concerns.   Others are VERY attentive and will keep adjusting the therapy each time so you get the most benefit per visit.

First of all make sure you are using proper form and technique. Consult a personal trainer otherwise you risk injury. Secondly, 10 pounds might be too light for you, but once you use the correct form you might finally feel the burn.

Seriously, cut off some arms and/or legs.It is truly the quickest,most effective way. Also, it's easy to keep the weight off. :)  Good Luck

Sweetie, I understand your pain. And maintaining a healthy weight is a good thing. But try not to pin your hopes for how the next year is going to go by how much weight you can lose. You only set yourself up for disappointment that way.\n\nThat being said, we all know that the way the body loses weight is when we consume fewer calories than we burn. See your doctor or another trusted adult and set yourself a healthy goal. If you're out of school now, you should have plenty of time to exercise (unless you have a job, but you still need to find the time). \n\nPick a sport or an exercise that you enjoy. Swimming is one of the best ones you can do - it's low impact, helps develop those beautiful long muscles, and burns a TON of calories. I'm talking about lap swimming, now, not splashing in the pool with your friends. Although that would be far better than nothing. Exercise 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off. You have to give your body a chance to recover or you'll hurt yourself. When you exercise, go for 30 - 60 minutes at a time, but again, don't overdo. It's also perfectly acceptable to exercise for a short time several times a day. The point is to burn the calories.\n\nAfter you get your exercise routine down, you need to look at what you eat. Write down everything you eat every day for a week. Include everything, even a stick of gum. Also, write down the time you ate it and what you were doing at the time. This should give you an idea of how healthy your diet is. Do some research on the internet for healthy eating, and plan accordingly. You should eat at least 1500 to 1700 calories per day - again, ask a trusted adult and DO YOUR RESEARCH on this part. You DO NOT want to get sick.\n\nContinue logging your meals and exercise, and be sure to take a daily multivitamin and drink at least 8, 8 oz glasses of water every day. It may seem like a lot, but think of it as a way of flushing the fat out of your system. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, add another glass for every extra 25 pounds. \n\nRemember, this has to be a lifestyle change for it to be really effective. Good luck!

Absolutely.\n\nIf you consistently decrease your calorie intake (through dieting) without increasing your physical activity levels, you risk reducing your BMR (base metabolism) levels, forcing your body to burn less calories, which may eventually lead to further long-term weight gain and make it more difficult to lose the weight you've gained. Unfortunately, this is the scenario that most dieters face as they continue their desperate attempts to lose weight through dieting without physical activity. As we age, those who solely depend on dieting as a method of weight loss become even more frustrated since BMR levels naturally decline as we get older. \n\nAny weight loss people experience on low-calorie diets is temporary unless physical activity levels are increased.  This applies to any diet plan out there.  It's a matter of a physiology analogy.  Turn down the furnace and you get less heat.  Less heat means slower rate to burn energy.  Eventually, if you don't turn up the furnace, you'll always have less heat to burn energy and you'll gain back the weight you lost...and more.\n\nSo how do you avoid falling into this vicious cycle? If your between 20 - 55 years of age, your AMR (active metabolism) should consist of at least 120 - 200 minutes of moderate or heavy physical activity weekly. To prevent injuries and enhance recovery, the older you are, the more you will have to stay in the lower end of this range. If you're 55+, you should seek the guidance of an Exercise Specialist and your Physician for an appropriate guideline according to your health and fitness level. \n\nYou can calculate your BMR and AMR here:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html

Never, ever stop weight training unless you have a serious injury.  I would highly recommend you have your body composition analyzed by a personal trainer to further assess appropriate fitness objectives for your individual needs.  Here are a few calculators to help you calcualte your body composition, target weight and body fat.\n\nTarget Weight / Body Composition\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/target_weight.html\n\nEstimate Adult Body Fat Percentage (General)\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bodyfat.html\n\nBody Composition (Advanced)\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bodycomp.html\n.\n.

I think you have no idea how much your harming your body. If you want to lose weight, lessen your calorie intake and increase your exercise.
