Adrian Bryant | 12.02.09 - 1:30 pm

Hi Adrian,

I recently had knee surgery & unfortunately gained 17 pounds (113 to 130). 5'4, small frame, weight gain in stomach & thighs (pear shape?). Cannot work out for another 6 wks. per doctor's instruction. In the meantime, I must start doing something to lose the 17 pounds. I feel physically uncomfortable especially in the stomach area since I'm not used to extra weight. Before surgery, I worked out 4 times a week & ate a diet of vegetables & protein. after surgery, I did nothing but sit around & guilty of eating comfort foods. Needless to say, I am disappointed in myself. I'm looking to you for a honest plan to get me back on track. I look very much to hearing from you. I need a big swift kick in the bum!

Optimum nutriton whey is the protein I use

You do not really need fat burners but any fat burner like here with green tea is good

Adrian Bryant | 09.29.09 - 9:58 am

Hey Adrian,

First of all, this is an awesome site, and I hope it'll help me finally get my act together.

Im 28, 5'10", weigh 205 pounds, male and have been stuck with upper body fat for practically my whole adult life. At one point of time, I was diagnosed with having thyroid problems.

Now, my resolve is to lose 25 pounds in 2 months. Can it be done? And if so, what dietary supplements would I require besides regular exercise for weight loss that you prescribe.

Also, could you recommend a few brand options for supplements/protein?

Hello Adrian! I love your site it is the best on the web of its kind.

I am 5'7 133 lbs... I know I am by no means overweight, however I am a model/actress whom hardly has a career if I am over 120 lbs or so. I have been trying to lose weight eating roughly 1200 calories a day and doing some cardio atleast 30 minutes a day, but I am stuck. I am also taking green tea fat burners and CLA. I need to lose atleast 5 pounds by October 1st for a job. Is there ANYTHING you can recommend? Thank you so much!

Hello!

I'm 5'6 170 pounds 22 years old. I wear a size 8-10 pants and I am really muscular. I'm finding it very hard to lose weight instead of gaining muscle. What can I do to help change that? Thank you!

If you're trying to maintain a solid fat % - you want to try to eat as many small meals as you can so I would at least do 3 meals and 2 snacks

Adrian Bryant | 08.22.09 - 8:15 pm

Once i reach my desired bf % and muscle can i eat 3-4 bigger meals a day instead of 5 smaller ones?

Or 3 medium sized ones with 2 snacks?

It would be hard for me to eat 5-6 smaller meals due to the fact that I'm always out.

Hello, I'm 20yrs old, 6 feet tall and I'm 300+ pounds. I don't know how much I weigh since my scale only goes to 300. I went to 300 about 4 months ago so I'm going to assume that I'm somewhere around 320. I'm a full time student in college and I'm trying to be committed to losing weight and being healthy.

To be brutally honest, I don't think I eat that much. A typical day is that I have a waffle or a plain sausage on whole wheat bread for breakfast. For lunch I might just have leftovers from dinner, or anything thats in the freezer such as chicken nuggets, pizza, or a hamburger. Most of the time there is nothing in there so I have to just gut it out until dinner. Dinner is usually whatever my mom makes, sometimes its steak, or chicken, or meatloaf, or fish, etc, etc, mostly with yellow rice, and a vegetable. I rarely eat dessert but if I do, it might be an icicle pop or a small cup of ice cream. I drink alot of water and I try and drink a cup of soda only once a week.

I'm trying to count calories, from what I notice I eat about 1,800 - 2,150 calories a day, I try and jog for 15 minutes and walk for 10 minutes 3 times a week. I would like to lose about 1-3 pounds a week. as I know I'm not going to lose a tremendous amount of weight overnight. I would like to drop the excess weight in about 2 years.

Do you have any advise for me to push me into the right direction? And is there something that I should change?

Dday016@aol.com | 08.18.09 - 12:39 pm

Natalie

Your calories are fine

Your weight loss is slow because your weight is healthy.

The best thing you can do to speed up weight loss in your situation is to increase exercise intensity by doing intervals at least 3-4 times a week (see NowLoss.com/i)

Adrian Bryant | 08.03.09 - 10:04 pm

Hi Adrian,
This is my first time on your site. Let me just say that you are awesome for helping people lose weight and responding to their comments. I need your help! I'm female, 5'1, 118 lbs, and have been working out 6-7 days a week since mid May but have not been seeing results! This entire summer i've probably lost 4lbs. (Not positive b/c I didn't start weighing myself until recently, but before then i looked at myself naked everyday) I know I'm a healthy weight but I would like to lose 10 lbs and get rid of my belly fat. I eat 1200-1300 calories everyday and workout an hour everyday either fully on the elliptical or 30 min jogging on treadmill and 30 min elliptical at high speeds. Everyday i am burning 600 calories an hour yet i seem to lose nothing! For 2 weeks straight I did body pump and still didn't lose, so i quit that. And earlier in the summer I was doing weights in addition to my cardio but didn't lose anything, so I just stuck to cardio. Can you give me some tips? Should I see a doctor to see if i am hypothyroid? Do you think I'm eating enough? Thanks!!!

Natalie | 08.03.09 - 5:04 pm

Nick

YES - along with exercise it does

Adrian Bryant | 08.01.09 - 11:36 am

Does this program burn 1-2 pounds of fat a week?

Nick | 07.31.09 - 1:11 pm

KRis

you should alwasy expect to lose 1-2 pounds a week and yes...

some weeks you will lose more than 2 pounds and some weeks you will lose less than a pound.

the key is to never give up - keep fighting and I'll always be here to help if you need any

Adrian Bryant | 07.09.09 - 4:19 pm

I am 14 years old, 5'7, and sadly, around 180 pounds. I still fit into clothes of teen stores, thats not the problem. But instead of being a size large, or x-large, i want to be around a medium. I eat healthy, but do have a crave for things like baked goods, and fast food. I stopped drinking coke and fruit drinks, and instead, drinking water. I bike ride approximently everyday, around 2-3 hours. I jog every once in a while, for at most half and hour, to an hour. I don't play much sports, but I swim and take my dog on walks.
My weight is directly on my lower body. My stomach is not quite big, but my hips are bigly structured. My thighs are my number one area of uncomfort. If it helps my measurements are Stomach - 36, Hips- 39, Thighs- 41.

What do you suggest me to improve, so i can loose the weight. I read online, for my average height, and bone structure, i should be around 140 lbs. Is that true? if it is, do you have any tips i could do, to loose the weight.

It would be such a help. Thank you

Jessica | 07.08.09 - 9:05 pm

autumn-amber

i'm not a medical professional but eating a Very low calorie diet while having hypothyroid will only make it EVEN harder for you to lose weight because...

eating THAT less will slow down your already SLOW metabolism even more so in your case...

You need to battle weight loss with a regualr diet of 1200-to-1800 calories, exercise, 5 small meals a day and these other things to increase your metabolsim plus...

#1 - you gotta exercise and not rely 100% on diet to lose 25 pounds and...

#2 - make a goal of 5-to-10 pounds a month because...

#3 - you will lose weight by aug but dont get depressed if you dont lose all 25 by aug and...

#4 - stay in touch with me for more help and never give up ever again!

Adrian Bryant | 07.06.09 - 3:04 pm

currently i'm 5.5 and 152 lbs. i have hypothyroidism that has led to me gaining more than 25lbs over time. i'm very depressed and trying to lose 25 lbs by aug 31st to feel like me again. i'm strongly considering starting a 800 calorie a day diet. at the moment i've only been eating raw foods for the past week or so. what should i do?

autumn-amber | 07.06.09 - 2:52 am

b.pushman,

THe food you are eating is fine but are you eating the right amount of calories to lose weight? and...

Look at #12 here to see if the weight you gained is muscle

Adrian Bryant | 03.30.09 - 8:40 pm

I've been weight training and lifting weights about 6 hours a week (an hour a day with one day off) for a few months now, I also only consume lean turkey on 60 cal. rye/wheat bread with mustard, water, protein shakes, fat free yogurt 2 a day max, cereal (if in a rush) but usually egg beaters w/ a splash of fat free milk for scrambled eggs and two slices of turkey bacon. Tuna fish with bno mayo whatsoever. I have a body fat according to the us navy measurment system of 31% and it's been like this for almost a year, I've actually gained weight... what do I do?! I can't exercise anymore without not having a life and I can't stand eating turkey and tuna every day anymore.

tino & Layla,

i've only slightly looked into Ketosis and I know very little about it but...

See NowLoss.com/8 and you will see that weight loss is more about...

1. eating better quality foods (see NowLoss.com/199)

2. Eating a little less and

3. exercise or increasing your activity and...

First look at why you can't lose weight

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.18.09 - 9:13 pm

Hi i weigh about 150 or so pounds. I am 5'5''. I am only 22 but I have been around this weight since the end of middle school. I want to look good this summer but I have a condition that leads me to have no energy. In high school I had to quit all sports because I do not have the energy needed. I have a 7 month old son, he keeps me going, but still no weight loss. I try to watch my intake of food but I do not understand why I only lost 15 pounds of my baby fat. I want to be at least down to 115 pounds. I was thinking about using colon cleansers to help. I need your help!

Amanda | 03.18.09 - 8:02 pm

Jacquiline John,

You're doing great!

You may not be losing weight on the scale but you are looking better which means...

You are losing ugly fat and gaining sexy muscle - Look at #12 here for why the scale won't move

Truthfully... I would just keep doing what you are doing and I wouldn't worry about about the scale and accept & be happy with the fact you are looking better and in reality...

You have lost weight (the ugly fat) but you also gained weight (sexy muscle) making you look slimmer but if you really must see the scale move down...

Just keep applying the 13 things here to break out of a weight loss plateau

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.18.09 - 9:09 am

Hi

Let me thank you for such a prompt reply. Appreciate the way you help people like me.

I run on the treadmill at 6.5mph. At times I try to increase the speed .The diet is not always a 1500cal. Sometimes it can go upto 1800cal. But I can see significant changes in the waist and hip measurements but no weight loss and sometimes I see a gain of 1kg also.
I do my exercise at various intervals .Its usually in 3-4 sessions that I complete a 9mile target.Of couse I do take a break in a week.
Its been 2 months now since I started observing the calorie intake.As mentioned earlier my body measurements are improving,the thighs have become really thin and I look a lot different in shape .

Jacquiline John | 03.18.09 - 8:15 am

Jacquiline John,

What exactly are you doing for exercise and are you working out hard enough to lose weight? and how long have you been eating 1500 calories and how much weight have you lost on this current plan?

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.17.09 - 10:53 am

Hi

I weigh 152 pounds and my height is 156cm.Also to avoid a plateau I vary the intensity of exercise always. No two consecutive days are same in terms of exercise and eat around 1500 calories a day.

Jacquiline John | 03.17.09 - 6:24 am

Jacquiline John,

See how to break out of a weight loss plateau but...

What's your weight & height - you may just have to be patient.

See why it's hard to lose last 10 pounds also

Adrian Bryant | 03.16.09 - 7:17 pm

I have been doing excercise on a regular basis. On an average I run around 7 miles a day. However there has been no weight loss for the past 6 months but my clothes get loose.I have lost around 2inches around the waist.What could be happening?Apparently I cannot afford a gym and the only exercise is the running on the treadmill which I enjoy doing.

Ok, I am 49 years old, and weigh 338lbs,. I am female, and am 6 foot. Here is the problem. I am serious about losing this weight. I started the first week of January. I ate between 1500 and 1700 calories a day. I did one half hour of cardio 6 days a week and did strength training 3 days a week. I lost 10 pds. My first month. In February, I increased my cardio to one hour a day 5-6 days a week. I did the treadmill at 3.5 with an incline of 4 and the stationary bike at fat burning, at resistance 14. I did each cardio for a half an hour each. I gained two pounds at the end of February. I only weigh once a month. I am so frustrated- what the heck am I doing wrong- The weight should be falling off me. Any suggestions?

Oh, I forgot, I was treading water 2 hours a week too-

Gretchen | 03.08.09 - 7:34 pm

Yovi,

the best machine to use to burn fat fast is the machine you are going to put the most intensity into and since it seems like the elliptical is your favorite - stick with that

MsB,

IMPORTANT: Pick the activity level you was at before you decided to lose weight and stick with that amount of calories so for example...

If you were lazy before trying to lose weight - pick lazy option and use those calories until you reach your weight loss goal and...

Instead of increasing calories to deal with extra activity...

You should increase your carbs or percentage of carbs you eat FIRST for energy for workouts and then...

You may increase you total calorie intake if needed to deal with extra activity

Adrian Bryant | 08.14.08 - 8:07 pm

Hey

I am going to start using your weight loss calculator. I was just wondering, should I keep switching up my calories on weeks I might not be active, so I can still lose weight?

For example, my first week I am not going to be extremly active. So I got the calorie reccomendations for that option. Then next week I plan to step it up a notch. Should I change the activity level and eat the reccomended calories for that? And if I fall off one week (I don't know why I will) but still, should I make sure i'm eating the right amount of calories for whatever my activey level will be that week?

I hope that eventually I can come up with a routine that I can stick to.

Adrian, Thank you for the prompt reply. Here are my answers:

#1) Do you look better although you gained 5 pounds? - If yes then don't panic becasue this is a sure sign you gained muscle while burning fat. My daughter agrees with you; the five pounds do not feel like blubber.

#2) How many calories are you eating? - are you counting calories correctly? -Remember - weight loss is mainly about burning calories so also...
The exact count I do not know. I did do the calculator with correct age and gender.
Now I eat Cheerios/soy milk for breakfast, an apple 2 hrs later, a toasted bagel peanut butter sandwich for lunch. 2 hrs later, another fruit. A regular dinner. After my 30-minute walk, one glass of whey protein (water/powder). Before bed, a small bottle of grape juice. Doc here says too many carbs in my "new" diet.

#3) did you do the weight loss calcualtor correctly? did you pick your right activity level, gender?
Yes, male, 50, 195#. I walk 30 minutes every day, a little over a mile.
#4) how many total calories where you eating before you did this weight loss plan? - it sounds like before doing this you may have been eating below 1200 calories a day and doing that will slow down your metabolism and the only way you can speed your metabolism back up is to slowly reset it by adding 100 caloires a day until you get back up to normal calories - you see...
My old diet (which let me lose 34 pounds in one year): Cheerios/soy milk for breakfast, a can of V8 for lunch, a regular dinner. Ate more spinach, salads, Subways; cut back on salt, sugar, sodas.
Since your metabolism was slow before you started my weight loss plan becasue of you not eating enough before dojg my plan - you'll gain weight even on a weight loss diet

answer these questions for me so we can both figure this out to get you losing weight again and...

I started the program with the weight loss calculator. I started at 190#. Before, I'd eat a bowl of Cheerios & soy milk for breakfast, skip lunch and eat a regular dinner, all while drinking a half-gallon of water a day. I wondered why I couldn't weigh less than 190. Now, along with kashi and soy milk for breakfast, I eat an apple and granola bars at my first break at work, a peanut butter bagel sandwich at lunch, another apple or pear at my second break and a regular dinner. On top of all this, I drink one whey protein shake (water & whey protein) after my 30-minute walk. I have actually gained five pounds! I'd like to know why I gained instead of lost weight.

Your help appreciated.

I'm 21 years old and over the past two years I have gained over 25 lbs due to poor eating and inactivity. I've never been overweight before, so when I got to my all-time high of 158 lbs and could no longer fit into any of my clothes, I knew I had to do something. I began exercising (a mix of cardio and strength training) for about 2 hrs a day, six days a week and began eating healthy foods (around 1200 calories a day). After 3 months I hadn't lost a single pound or inch. Since then I've tried every combination of calorie and exercise amount with no luck. Currently I eat around 800 to 1200 calories a day (only lean proteins, vegetables, and limited carbs). I still exercise the same as before but only 3-5 times a week, and I still haven't lost a pound. I just don't understand because I'm following the simple logic of eating 500 calories less a day plus good diet and exercise, but it seems no matter what I do I don't lose any weight. Please help me, I would love to get back to the size 4, 130 lbs I was three years ago.

Brianne,

Remember- diet pills are only "weight loss supplements" that give a little extra weight loss boost when combined with diet & exercise and usually the only people who need diet pills or fat burners are people who are at a low weight or not overweight who have a harder time losing weight so basically...

Overweight people don't need fat burners because weight loss is easier and non overweight poeple need the extra help from diet pills since weight loss is harder for them and...

Hoodia is good for anyone who can't control their appetite

I have battled so much with diet pills. How long on the pills does it take to see a change or should you see one? I just don't want to spend the money as a college student and then it not work like usual.
Thank you for all your help

You should include the protein calories in the 1700 (+/-) calories you eat everyday

DO NOT add the extra calories to the 1700 calories you eat

adrian bryant | 04.22.08 - 10:26 am

Hello, great site.

The program calculates to eat (5) 240 - 340 calorie meals a day, and consume no more than 1700 calories a day. My question is about the whey protein shake. I plan to get this and drink 1-2 shakes a day.

Will I drink these in addition to the above calories, or do I need to subtract the shake from the calorie "allowance"? Will this be in addition to the (5) meals a day, or should it replace a meal?

Thanks

How tall are you? you may not even be overweight.

If you are not overweight (which I suspect you are) - You need to look at ways to lose your last 10 pounds

Hi! I'm 17 years old, 5'5", and 140lbs. I need to drop the weight to about 112 as soon as possible because my family will be going on a vacation in Hawaii in July. However, I have a busy schedule with my AP classes and after school activities. What would you suggest I do to succeed at my goal and get the results I want?

Also! Most of my weight carries in my butt, hips, and thighs. I'd like to get rid of that weight as soon as possible, because those are my problem areas.

smoore,

Get your weight loss back on track by reading this and...

For my weight loss calculator - I would just pick the moderate level of activity (even though your activty level is higher) so you'll lose more weight faster and when you reach your weight loss goal you can refigure your activity level again

I hope this all helps and please remember - I always available if you need help

Adrian,

I need some guidance. I am 5'6, 185lbs. and have been trying your quick weight loss plan for almost 5 weeks now. I have lost 13 pounds. My problem is that I would really like to see at least a 1.5lb drop each week, and my weight loss looks like it's really slowing down. I don't know why.

I have been consistent with the protein, fruits, and staying in the top tiers of Michi's Ladder for meals (fish, chicken, and greens). I am working out 6 days/wk, 1 20-30 minute session in the morning, 1 30-60 minute session in the evening, and sometimes a 30 minute power walk during the day. I mix my workouts up so I don't get bored, but I do do 2 days of toning with weights. I have a watch that calculates target heart rate, and calories burned, which appear to be a lot. I use weight-calculator.com to journal entry everything I eat, and what I burn during my workouts. What confuses me is trying to figure out how many calories I need to eat to get the loss I am after each week. Your calculator says roughly 1600-2100 calories for my weight. Weight calculator.com says 1590 recommended caloric level. Then when I am trying to figure out how many calories I need, based on my activity level, I get a little stumped because I am not sure what category I should put myself. Every one of the weight calculators I'v tried seem to say something different.

Can you tell I am confused? I am trying to lose 50 lbs.,and I have a target date of 10/1/08 to get the job done. I would like to see a 6-8lb loss per month. Oh yes, and I do take a supplement, an over the counter I found success with before. The fat burners don't seem to really do anything for me.

What would you advise?

To lose FAT and keep it off - you have to aim for 1-3 pounds a week and the only way can realistically reach 3 pounds or more a week is if you exercise and/or take fat burners so...

With your busy sched - You should expect to lose 1-2 pounds of FAT per week with the weight loss calcualtor here:

and you should try to fit in at least 3 times a week of 20-45 minutes of exercise and since you're short on time...

The best weight loss workout you can do probably is short 20 minute weight loss intervals here:

Hi, I have been training for 1 to 1.5 hrs a day in the gym for about 8 weeks now. I do weight circuit for 30 mins 2 days per week..followed by 45 mins of cardio.(my heart rate always between 130-160) On the other 3 days per week I do 1-1.5hrs of cardio only. I weigh 60.1 kgs, & I am 160cm tall. I have stayed the exact same weight as day one, although I can feel my body is more toned. I eat well & only wish to burn about 5kgs. How can I do this?

To get in six meals with a busy schedule then you... Have to get some food supplements (like shakes - read made shakes) EAS sells some good ReadyToDrink (RTD) shakes Prepare all 6 meals for the next day before you go to bed. You can still lose weight working out once a day (just not as fast) but... If you are working out once a day... make sure you are working out first thing in the morning before you do anything else. If this doesnt help - please leave another comment
