Hi,
I am 33 years old (almost 34 ), planning to have a child in the next year. I swim 2 hours a week. I don't do any other exercise, yet. I have lots of fat on my back (right under my bra) it looks terrible. My stomack is very saggy. I am 125LB 5'4", I am not overweight but I know I have to lose fat. I am afraid if I lose the fat without lifting weights, I will look too skinny (unhealthy skinny). Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jani

Ive lost about 20 pounds but i have at least 30 more to go and i just dont know how to push myself a little harder i did in the beggining but ive become impatient what do u suggest i should do?

ruthy | 11.12.08 - 11:37 am

GW,

I'm not going to tell you how to lose weight because I believe you KNOW WHAT to do to lose weight and like you said...

the only thing keeeping you from not losing weight is you staying focused and motivated to lose weight so for you to lose weight...

You need to find a spark or something you can focus on that will drive you to stay on track long enough to lose weight.

Look at how to get motivated to lose weight and look at these other ways to get motivated to help you find those sparks

Adrian Bryant | 11.11.08 - 11:24 am

Hi, Adrian. I just discovered your website through a blog on SparkPeople.com and boy am I glad I did. I've found so much useful informtion. I feel motivated again to try to lose weight. I've looked at a lot of topics on your website and forgive me if this is one you have to repeat. There's just so much there, I'm can't get get through it all. My issue is that every time I get motivated to lose weight and start eating right and exercising, I experience a terrible backlash shortly thereafter. For example, it wasn't too long ago that I'd started jogging again. I felt good and highly motivated and I thought for sure that I was on track (again). Well, that lasted about a week maybe two. After that it's like for every healthful food I put into my body during that period, I was eating junk. For every hour I exercised, I'm sitting around doing nothing productive to good health. I almost feel as if my body and mind are controlled by 2 separate entities. This sounds strange I know and I'm really a very normal person. My mind wants to lose weight and knows my body isn't healthy. My body just wants to be satisfied and comfortable. I'm not sure why this is happening and how to stop this sabotage.

Adrian Bryant | 11.09.08 - 7:02 pm

I am 16 years old and I get made fun of alot because of my weight. I am around 5 feet I think, and I weigh around 150. I have my birthday comming up the first week of December, I know it'll be impossible to have a J.Lo Body by then but atleast by March Break I want to look in the mirror and say I look good !

My body is wierd, I seem to have a bigger upper body. My stomach looks as though I'm pregnant and my breast seem a bit to big for my age and are starting to sag. I have skinny chicken legs and a small butt. I want a body like Jennifer Lopez but I seem to be the opposite. Everyone in my family seems to be abit on the chubby side, what can I do to fight my genetics and get the body I want. I want to be able to step on the scale and see 120 and look up and have the nice fit body I want. I don't want to just be skinny like Paris Hilton, I still want body ! What can I do to make my dreams come true?

Gabby,

Any exercise is positive when it comes to weight loss but you can lose a lot more weight if you could do morning exercise on an empty stomach and as For eating...

You're not overweight and you already look good but I'm guessing you still want to lose a few pounds so in your case You'll need a diet & exercise plan like this to lose a few more pounds but back to eating...

You want to have a more advanced style of eating where you first 3 meals of the day have at least one fruit/veggie, protein serving, and another complex starchy carb that's not a fruit or veggie like oatmeal or wheat bread and the last 2 meals of the day - You want your meals to be made up of only protein & veggies and...

If you ever get hungry - kill hunger with veggies and DRINK IcE cold water

Adrian Bryant | 10.19.08 - 11:49 am

Dear Adrian,

I really found your article about J.Lo's weight loss helpful. I know that everyone requires a different eating plan together with good exercising. I am not lucky as those girls who eat all that they want and don't gain a kilo. I have to exercise, watch what I eat and how much I eat. I think that I am doing most of the things correctly, but I would appreciate your opinion.

Exercising:

I usually try to either jog or go on the cross trainer 30- 45 min each day and I try to walk/bike 10-20 min or more each day. Do I lose most of the purpose of exercising if I do it in the afternoon? ( I really can't make it in the mornings...).

Eating:

I start the day with a glass of luke warm water and a few drops of lemon, then I have my cereal (Kellog's special K; Muesli etc.) with 0 % fat milk or yogurt. I am scared to eat bread or eggs for breakfast. I consider those products more as a lunch-item. For Lunch I usually would have a handful of wholewheat pasta/ 90-120 gr of potato/ 2 slices of wholewheat bread, cracker or ray bread with meat/feta cheese/egg/fish etc. I try to stop eating "heavy" carbs as pasta by 3:30-4:00 pm. I make a small exception that one, max two days I can have carbs for dinner but that means that I can't have any for lunch. For dinner I usually have salad with tomato, cucumber, sometimes avocado, pieces of meat or feta cheese or I have meat+ vegetables (broccoli/ variety of beans and corn/ paprika, courgette, egg plant etc.) With all these restrictions, I still think I am taking way too many carbs, what do you think???

Snacks:

I try to grab every 2-3 hours (or when I feel hunger) fruit , yoghurt, rice cracker with a little bit of peanut butter or hummus, carrots, yogurt, soup, pumpkin, handful of nuts, cherry tomatoes, a string of low fat cheese (the laughing cow) etc.

Basically I have read so many controversial articles about good and bad foods that I though I really crave for banans, whoe-wheat products and diary products, each time I consume them, I think I'd gain weight. Do my worries have grounds? Will I lose weight with my lifestyle?

Sorry for this long post and thank you in advance,

By the way I am 23, 60 kgs/132 lbs, 1,65 cm/65 inches/5'4 tall.

Gabby | 10.19.08 - 5:26 am

Monica | 09.18.08 - 1:45 pm

Hi Adrian. The spasms are gone now. They lasted one day. It was quite odd and disturbing. Maybe something to do with nerves, I don't really know. I'm glad it's gone and my muscles are hurting nearly as bad as the first few days. I think I'm doing something right. I'm a mesomorph and believe it or not, I can see and feel a difference already, it's been about a week. It's not a drastic change, but a change none the less. Thanks for responding.

I meant to say my muscles aren't hurting nearly as bad as the first few days. Sorry. I guess that's why the preview button is there.

Bette,

Go here to flatten your stomach, Go here for butt & thighs and I have no idea why you get a clitoral orgasm/spasm type sensation

Adrian Bryant | 09.16.08 - 5:58 pm

I have just started really working on my body about four days ago, specifically my abs, butt and thighs. I have a naturally muscular body and after having four kids, I don't like how much muscle mass I've lost over the years. I feel the regular discomforts from being one who is newly working out again, but what I find to be weird is the tingling in my vaginal area, almost like a clitoral orgasm/spasm type sensation. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Thanks.

In addition to my first question, can you tell me how to flatten my stomach/whittle my waist/build my butt and thighs back up? I'm 5'2, 120lbs and 37 yrs. old. Also, when I get my stomach and waist back down, will I have loose skin hanging around my midsection? My current measurements are 34-31-36 which looks too boxy. My shoulders are wider than my hips. What advice can you give me? I do something in the form of exercise daily, but not sure what to do on which days. I walk, do lunges, squats, hill sprints and use a stepper machine. Please help and how soon will I see results?

Bette | 09.16.08 - 1:00 pm

Toni,

You can read more about soy protein here but YES - soy protein & protein in general is good for weight loss

Adrian bryant | 06.15.08 - 10:00 pm

Adrian,
Thank you for the quick response! I am not against soy products at all. As a matter of fact I eat several of the Morning Star Farms products such as burgers,bacon, sausage, chicken and steak strips. However, I was under the impression soy products such as these would not work in diets (low carb high protien)as a meat replacement.
What do you think?

Toni |   06.15.08 - 4:58 pm

Toni,

One thing you could do is eat more raw nuts for more fiber & protein to feel full or get fuller.

And are you okay with drinking whey or soy protein to suppress appetite?

Read a fast way to lose 20 pounds for more info on this but basically...

Yes - colon cleansing pills are safe and the people who lose the most weight using colon cleansing pills are people who have too much waste in thier bodies from bad eating habits.

If you're not having at least 1 bowel movement a day - then you may be someone who can lose weight real fast colon cleansing

Adrian Bryant | 04.26.08 - 4:33 pm

umsaeed77,

I'm not an expert on this but I have heard that if you're breast feeding it's best to eat at least 1800 calories to produce healthier breast milk but like i said... i'm not real sure about this.

Fat burners are generally safe but if youhave concerns about them - then don't use them...

Taking them or not taking them will not make or break your weight loss program.

Focus on of exercise and eating right

Adrian Bryant | 04.22.08 - 8:14 pm

Adrian,
I am a person that DOES NOT like to take medicine. I am concerned about taking the fat burning pills. Are they safe to take? I am 28 and healthy so I have no medical issues I just wanted to make sure they are safe to take. What do you think????
