Hi it is nice to hear i am not alone!\nI started working out and getting back into it, and have lost 30 lb.  I have taken nutrition, and a personal trainging course to get my head straight.  \n\n1st day- 10 min cardio warm up- anything you want just try to get that heart rate up\nThen go and do a full body workout with wieghts with your main focus being on in following order\nlegs\nchest\nback\ncore\narms\n(This order ensures you are using your biggest muscles most which will burn off the most calories in the long run when they are repairing themselves)\nThis should take you about 25-30 min or so\n\nThen finish off the workout with some more cardio-something that will keep you in your target heart rate range so you are burning as many fat cal. as possible.\n\nDAY TWO\n\nDevote this day purely to cardio... try out all the differnt machines see which one you like.  I find that i like doing like three or four different machines on cardio day to mix it up, it helps the time pass faster.\n*Music is great during cardio, it helps the time pass, and it makes it fun*\n\nAfter your cardio workout it would be good to stretch for about 5-10 min while your muscles are warmed up-but don't overdo it.\n\n\nDAY THREE- same as day one\nDAY FOUR-same as day two\nBasically just keep switching off days, and then take the seventh day off.  Your body will need that rest period especially in the begging.  Maybe on that day take a nice walk, or bike ride. \n\nCALORIE WISE\nPlay with it.\nIt took me a while to find the right amount of calories for me 1200, but when i want to be really aggressive i drop it down to 800.  \n\nFruits and veggies are awsome, and low cal.  \n\nAlso whole wheat pretzels, and plain yogurt with brown sugar are really good too.\n\nAlso making sure healthy foods are always around you is key.  If you have junk around that is what you will eat, and if you have good food around then the same goes.\n\nWell i hope this helps\n If you have any more questions you can e-mail me.

Well that's a reasonable goal of about 3 pounds a week so go for the traditional 30 minutes a day. As you get stronger, you will need to change how you exercise. \n\nYears ago, I did Jenny Craig and I rode my bike and took walks in addition to the food they sold me. I felt great about it. I thought it was nice having the menu already prepared for you. I do think their food is too expensive and toward the end they changed me to a mean "counselor," but all in all.. it worked. \n\nWalking is great exercise. Try adding some every day things like park further away from the door when you go to the store and taking the stairs. Get some light weights and exercise your arms. Be careful to not push too far too fast, if you are injured or dont like it, you wont do it anymore. \n\nHave fun and good luck.

Hard regular exercise - preferably weight traning mixed with cardio (under supervision) - will do you wonders!\n\nGood Luck!

Try Denise Austin exercise tapes. They're super fun and you start seeing results after 10 days (if you stick to the routine). Denise also has some books out on losing weight and keeping it off. There are some great recipes and eating tips in there. Anyway, give the tapes a try, cause they're a lot cheaper than going to a gym, and you can do them at home. I swear by them!

Go to the library and check out any of the diet books by suzanne somers. Very easy to follow. Buy a yoga or pilates class on dvd or both. A one time investment of about $20.00 and you can use it every day without overworking your body or ever spending another dime on it. In my experience the "Crunch Fitness" dvd's are the most fun and easy to follow classes. Or anything with Sara Ivanhoe as the instructor. Go on line to see the selection. Good Luck.

A simple guide? Okay, here are the basics, but you probably already know them:\n\n1. You MUST burn more caloies than you consume daily. \n\n2. Drink only water. Soda dehydrates you.\n\n3. Find a physical activity you enjoy & do it at least 4 days per weak for 45 minutes or more at a time. You must get your heart rate up and work up a sweat. (Martial arts class does it for me!)\n\n4. If you exercise before you eat breakfast in the morning, you will lose weight a little faster.\n\n5. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so lifting weights will help.\n\n6. Walk as much as you can in addition to your exercise.....park farther away from the door, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the store if you live close enough, ect.....\n\n7. Stay away from all things fried, sugary, or carbonated.  Eat as many vegetables as you wish.

Do strength training on the alternate days of your cardio. \nDrink lots of water.  Make sure your diet is relatively healthy and low in calories.  \nAnd just be patient.  Fifty lbs could take up to a year, or as quick as 5 months. Set interim goals, like a certain measurment or clothing size you want to attain (not the final one) or a certain level of weight loss, and plan your reward in advance. (Non-food.)  It's nice if the reward is physical-like you'll go to the zoo and walk around all day.  Or your goal might be to be able to walk in some kind of "walk for" (cancer, AIDS, whatever you choose).  Pick what works for YOU.  Good luck! :)

Try going to the Weight Loss forum at About.com.  It's a wonderful group of people spanning all ages and following all different eating plans, some with great success and others struggling.  Some are just starting, some can't get their act together and others have been at their goal weights for years.\n\nI found the forum shortly after beginning a 70 lb. weight-loss journey and know I wouldn't have succeeded with either my loss or 2 year maintenance without that group of wonderful people.  Everyone will support you plus you'll find all kinds of motivation, advice and tips.  In some cases people do buddy-up.\n\nGo to...  http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?listMode=6&nav=messages&webtag=ab-weightloss

If it worked we'd all use it. If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories women & 1500 men \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \nAll food choices need to be low fat\nDon't make food a big deal and don't socialise using food\n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna/lean meat & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g-150g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 women & 1800 men and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

It sounds like you're already doing the right things.  Try varying the type of exercise you do, as you can hit exercise plateaus as well as weight loss plateaus. Make sure your exercise plan includes cardio, strength-training & flexibilty.  Strength training is SO IMPORTANT to losing weight; more muscle=more metabolism.\nYou might want to try something like slim-fast. Replace a couple of meals a day with a shake (it tastes better than it used to!).  I have 2 slim fast meals per day (Monday-Friday) with a scoop of protein powder in each and I work out 4 hours a week. I lost 12# in 3 weeks.  Check my weight-loss blog for more info. (Not selling anything! It's free info.)
