i am not fat but i have too much baby fat on my stomach (i know this is really bad but i used to smoke weed and gained weight, go figure).

In order to loose the tummy fat, is there a certain way i have to diet?
or can i just eat normal and in the right amounts? (i know not junk food of course) i get confused
i exercise 3-5 times a week.

First find your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). http://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm
That’s how many calories you burn a day. A pound of fat is 3500 calories, so eat 500 less than your BMR each day, and you should lose a pound of fat in a week. For best results, eat carbs before a workout and not until about an hour after. I hope this helps!

I want to lose weight but I am not all about that diet pill stuff. I tried weight watchers before but I was really busy with getting things ready for my wedding that it was the last thing on my mind to eat right.
If I do weight watchers and run/gym how much weight do you think I would lose in about 2 weeks?

everyone body is different. Remember too if you decide to exercise you have to use your activity points calculator to determine how many extra points you get for the day. But everyone’s body loses weight at a different rate. Someone who jogs everyday while on weight watchers for two weeks could lose 5 lbs where are someone else could lose only 2.

If you are really looking the best way to lose weight,
I suggest doing what this mom did and combining the Acai diet with a cleansing program for the best result

I would really appreciate if someone could help me find out How many Weight watchers points are in a petit felouse yogurt? I have looked all over the net and found nothing =D
So how many points is that using the weight watchers way ?

I looked it up and got the nutrition facts. It’s 2 points in a 100 gram serving. 104 calories, 2.9 fat, and 0 fiber.

I have abs underneath, but i have fat covering it. I have tried everything possible, and now, I can’t make myself do anything. My parents don’t cook, so I just grab something out of the pantry like bread and butter, vanilla wafers, or whatever. I don’t like taking time for anything. I’m in cheer, and need to shape my belly before March 10. Any suggestions? Oh, I don’t want diet pills, and I hate running.
I hope to go shopping a few days after the tenth, so please help me.

I started the Weight Watchers points system 8 weeks ago and I’ve only lost 12lbs…I am a fairly large woman with 179lbs more to lose in order to get to my goal weight…I wish the weight would drop off faster…
I’d like to know from Weight Watchers clients (former or present), what were your results and how long did it take to reach your goal? If you used another means of weight loss, please share. I am just weighing out my options (no pun intended). Thank you in advance for your responses!

Weight Watchers is set up to help you lose about 1-2 pounds a week. Generally the first couple weeks you will lose more but it is a slow but healthy process. I have been doing it for 16 weeks and have lost 22 pounds. My wife lost 50 in 6 months and has kept it off for 2 years now. She still counts points and we both will for the rest of our life. Not sure why Olivia thinks it can’t be done, it is basically just counting calories.

12 pounds in 8 weeks is a really good number. Don’t be discouraged that it is happening slowly cause if you quit it won’t happen at all. Here are some tips that may help:

1. You’ve lost 12 pounds – did you adjust your daily point allowance. Every time the 2nd digit of your weight changes you lose 1 point.

2. Only use the 35 weekly points if you have a special occasion such as a birthday party or such, and then use as little as possible.

3. If you haven’t started exercising this can really help kick start the weight loss. Start of slowly with a casual stroll as far as you can handle and work your way up from there.

4, Do not add extra points for exercising. Remember, the goal is to lose weight

5. Be sure you are calculating points correctly. If you have more than one serving of something you must recalculate the points multiplying the calories, fat & fiber by the number of servings.

The site below is a handy reference site for WW with points for dining out, food lists, recipes, articles and more. Good luck and don’t throw in the towel. If you stick to the program there is no way that you won’t lose weight.

I have about a "handfull" of fat on my stomach, and i hate it. How do i exercise to get this tummy fat to go away fast? Because i have a lot of major events coming up and i really need to lose weight, also, i would like to lose weight all around? Any low calorie foods you know of? Thanks!

1. Diet. No need to reduce it drastically. Just eat wisely. and more frequently. 3 square meals a day is ready recipe to tummy gain. So the thing is to reduce your meal size, and increase the frequency.

2. Exercise – aerobic stuff. Jogging if you are young, brisk walking if you are old. In morning.

3. Water. As much as possible.

You would be hearing/reading a lot about doing crunches/abdominal exercise etc.
Those are good for toning your abdominal MUSCLES. They’ll do very little to reduce the fat which is there.

One more thing. That fat that you will reduce will be throughout your body. Spot reduction of fat is sadly possible only via surgery.

I have thunder thighs and a big butt so i always have trouble finding the right jeans!!!
I want to actually lose weight i dont want to make muscle because i want to be able to fit into a smaller pair of jeans because im 14 and a size 7!!!!
Please help me out on some ideas that will help me achieve my goal.

Muscle weighs more than fat, so it’s OK to build muscle while losing fat. Don’t be afraid of making muscle.

Eat healthy – don’t cut the calories too much, but do eat a smaller amount. Eat fruits and veggies, lean meats, and whole grains (100% whole wheat bread instead of white, brown rice, etc.)

Drink water – cut out the soda/pop. Try to get 8 cups (measuring cups – 8 ounces) of water each day.

Couple a healthy diet with cardio workouts – 3-5 days a week, 20-30 minutes per session to start. You can walk, jog, bike, play basketball, do aerobics… whatever you enjoy doing that gets your heart rate up. You don’t have to work out so hard that you feel like you’re dying – work out to the point that you can talk fairly easily, but not jabber on and on.

Do strength exercises to build muscle (yep, I’m suggesting this). Building muscle helps you lose fat even faster by speeding up your metabolism. Sit ups, push ups, squats, lunges… all these will help. Do these only every other day – don’t strength train the same muscles two days in a row.

Hope this helps! I also recommend sparkteens.com, a free web site that helps you track your nutrition and fitness, plus gives lots of good information and encouragement.

But everyone’s body loses weight at a different rate. Someone who jogs everyday while on weight watchers for two weeks could lose 5 lbs where are someone else could lose only 2. A bunch of different things factor into this including what you are eating everyday, how much activity you are doing, how fast your body reacts to exercise (some people need to exercise only days before seeing results while others need to exercise a month before seeing results) how fast your body gains muscle mass, how much water you are drinking, how much water your body retains after exercise and so on and do fourth so there is no way of knowing how much you will lose but cardio IS the best form of exercise for burning fat. Just make sure you are at least doing moderate exercising meaning you are pushing yourself but not too hard (just hard enough that you start to sweat after about 10-15 minutes) and doing at least a half hour of exercise each time.

I need to loose my tummy fat lower and sides, i would like to take a supplement to help me loose weight but i dont know the one to take for females and that actually works. I would also like to know some good workout, stomach exercises for this!

some good exercises for a flat stomach are:
crunches
sit ups
pilates
pelvic tilts
also i think you should forget about supplements as you can easily loose weight by simply changing to a healthy balanced diet, for info on the exercises and dieting advice an tips try the blog at http://easydietoptions.wordpress.com good luck
