If you want to firm and tone and not lose weight then stop doing stairs and do some of the butt exercises here

Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 8:03 pm

hi adrian, i lost all the weight i wanted to lose, i now do 64 flights of stairs daily m-f, 13 down, & 19 up, is this an effective exercise to lift & make my butt bigger. i already have a big butt, i just want it lifted & plumped.
it seems like im still losing inches in my hips, which i dont want., & I would like to stay at a 42. But what exercises would you recommend me to do in addition to my flights to get a more rounded plumped butt? or are the flights going to give me a smaller butt?
my measurements are 34-26-42. i will like to keep these measurements but build & tone without losing any more weight.
i appreciate any advice you can give me, thank you so much!!

Your main concern should be weight loss to help you reach the bangin body you want so Go to NowLoss.com/50 to lose weight and when you do the workout plan at NowLoss.com/50...

Make sure you do either fast weight loss workout # 1 or #2 or this hill interval workout to burn fat and lift and tone your butt at the same time

Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 8:00 pm

Adrian I'm confused. I am military and back in Aug I was 209, now i'm 171-173. I'm working out but I don't look the way I want to. I want to come back home from the deployment I'm on with a bangin body for myself and my husband. Having this body would really boost my confidence and that's what my husband craves. I'm 5 foot 6 in. and my major body issues I have are my back and butt. I want the fat creases gone and my butt to sit up on my back. You know the booty I'm talking about. I got booty but it's going down south. So I've read workouts on your website but if I'm trying to lose back fat/love handles and raise and and make my booty larger what is my diet and workout plan suppose to be. Please help. I got 3 months left and I'm ready to take my workouts to the next level.

It seems to me that the interval workout is very intense for you so in your case...

You are doing a great interval workout but remember...

As you get into better shape (which you will fast with intervals) either decrease your rest time of slow 3mph walking and/or increase the speed over 7mph for your hard part

Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 8:06 am

Hi Adrian, love your site. Is this kind of interval training acceptable? I walk for 3mph for 3 minutes then I alternate between 1 minute of anywhere between 5.5mph to 7 mph. Sometimes I'll walk 2 minutes at 3mph to catch my breath. I usually do this for 30 to 54 minutes. I really need to lose a lot of body fat. I am 5'2 and weigh 200 pounds and I would like to lose 20 to 35 pounds by August. Please help!!!

Well at 129 pounds you are probably not overweight for your height so in that case you need to be patient because it takes longer for NON-OVerweight people to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 06.08.09 - 8:07 pm

Hello Adrian,
I've recently gotten back into the gym, paid out the butt for a trainer.
She has me doing 45 mins on the tred-mill. Then she has me in this section, thats all benches for the whole body. she has me doing 3 sets of 12, of each excersize. (Am Sore as hell- Can barely move from the pain)

Other than that, Its been 2 weeks of this, when should I expect results, do you think?-

I went and bought that whey protein stuff, it doesn't taste that great, but its easy to chug down, so I've been drinking one of those bfore each of my meals.
Small portions of course, and drinking 1 liter of ice cold water a day.

I've weighed myself twice, and I'm still 129 lbs exactly, no change. I hope I start losing weight soon.

I'll keep you posted on the progress. Thanks again!

When you are able to pull your TVA muscles back far enough over the quarter - then you move on to pen or cap

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 9:46 pm

hey dude!
i love youre videos theyre freaking awsome but i have a question
from which point do i pass from using a quarter to a pen and then to a cap?

hi ..
my vacation will strart after a week and i wanna lose weight in 2 months and i dont know what to do.. i am eating like normal people but i am not losing weight.. can you give a diet or somthing like that .. thank you

from:
adamslover

adamslover | 06.05.09 - 4:05 pm

I don't know too much about fasting diets because I don't recommend them simply because...

YES - you may lose weight REAL FAST but you'll gain back all the weight you lose and more also very fast after you finish the diet and...

THe fat burners + fasting really won't help any extra but...

A fat burner may help suppress your appetite while fasting to help you stick to the diet and you mentioned CLA...

CLA is just a natural healthy fat found in beef that you can take to help with weight reduction and...

I never heard about the vitamins & the ctalyze thing but even when I put people on normal weight loss or muscle gain programs...

I tell them to use vitamins daily - Go here and look at fast weight loss tip #19 to see why

Adrian Bryant | 06.05.09 - 3:36 pm

Hi Adrian. First of all i wanted to thank you for the site, you're so awesome.
Then i had this question about fat burners, do they work during a cleansing/fasting diet? i mean if i'm not eating anything solid, and drinking only water for a while, can i still go on taking them? an do they still burn fat? and if it's not healthy, can u explain why? they are something like tonalin original CLA or something if that's any use to you.

oh and is it true that while fasting i shouldnt take vitamins cause they wont have anything to ctalyze with?

thanks a lot!!

In your case you'd be much better off with a full weight loss plan like the one at NowLoss.com/50

Adrian Bryant | 06.05.09 - 3:31 pm

I think my height is around 1.52-3 and i weigh around 176 pounds - and I'm not sure how many calories i eat - but I could say around to maybe 1000 a day, maybe bit more or less - not sure

i am 29 years old and have 4 children. i am 5.6 and weigh 200 lbs. i don't look fat but my problem is with flab on my legs. from the butt down also my stomach i had a c-section with my frist child and my muscles were cut and that was 11 tears ago. how can i tone my body overall at home and lose weight? my e-mail is redkidsfour@yahoo.com

Sorry - I dont have any ideas on how to make you taller

Adrian Bryant | 06.04.09 - 3:49 pm

Hi Adrian. I'm 16 and weigh about 45 kilos. and my height's like 5 feet

do u know of any excercises that will help me with the height issue?

Joyce | 06.04.09 - 11:42 am

Smellie

For me to better help you...

I need to know your weight and height plus how many calories you are eating per day but more than likely

You'll need to eat more carbs.

If you lost inches then that's a good thing See #12 here for why

Adrian Bryant | 06.04.09 - 3:48 pm

Hi Adrian,

I haven't been doing any of your diets or anything, just some stuff on my own, so I was wondering if you could help me with some of my questions, I've been doing a diet for a week now, no carbs - and if I do its in protien shakes, and just been having vegies and chicken - 100 sit ups in the morning and 30 mins of treadmill everyday - and i haven't lost anything, only a few inches here and there - am i doing something wrong? how do i loose more weight quickly?

Just one more thing if i were to do some of the exercises you have advised like how to loose those flabby arms and how to get ripped abs and etc and also do 30 mins of walking on the tread mill, will i be more likely to loose more weight? or should i do tae bo instead of the treadmill - I just want to know what is the BEST workout to burn fat and tone for arms,legs,stomach,thighs and hips that I can do?

Smellie | 06.04.09 - 8:04 am

Victoria P

Going to NowLoss.com/abs & NowLoss.com/flat will help firm up your lower belly area but if that pauch is mostly flab then remember...

You'll need diet & exercise (probably intense exercise like intervals at Nowloss.com/i) to burn it off

Adrian Bryant | 06.03.09 - 4:32 pm

Good Afternoon Adrian,

I have been working hard on getting my body back into shape. The arm exercises you suggest work great, the booty exercises are simple and work perfectly... but I have the same problem are that many women have and there seem to be few answers for this area; the lower belly between the belly button and the pubic area. I hate this little pouch but can't seem to get it to firm up. Can you make any suggestions?

Victoria P | 06.03.09 - 3:17 pm

Tony

since you near your weight loss goal - you need to do more intense cardio or intervals (NowLoss.com/i) at least 3-4 times a week and the other days you can do light cardio but for a full workout involving intervals

Look at this workout plan here and also...

Look over how hard do I need to workout to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 06.04.09 - 3:52 pm

yes, So I've started my weight loss as of today...got my protein, fruits, salad and salmon ready. I'm trying to do the meals at every 3-4 hrs. How much Cardio should i be doing?

TONY | 06.04.09 - 11:59 am

TONY,

So basically...

You know what you need to do to lose weight and the ONLY thing stopping you is yourself!

Go here to get motivation to reach your weight loss goal

Adrian Bryant | 06.03.09 - 6:03 pm

Yeah, I have but i have to admit never really taken it 100% serious...Its the weekends that kill me.

TONY | 06.03.09 - 5:23 pm

TONY

when you say you're having trouble - what have you tried already to lose weight?

You may just need to go to NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 06.03.09 - 4:31 pm

HI Adrian

I'm 37 5.11" and at 208 lbs...I'm having trouble dropping 15-20 lbs...how much cardio should i be doing? I'm going on a Hawaiian vacation August 9th and would like to get to 190lb. What do you advice?

thanks

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 4:12 pm

Hi Adrian, I have lost about 29 lbs recently doing the Weight Watchers diet and I am really happy with that but I Need to firm up in some areas & one particular is the upper arms. I saw the exercises you have to offer on this website and I was wondering how often should I do these to see results. I also need to get rid of some love handles and my thighs need some work. Is there a good workout tape that you might recommend for firming and toning maybe with the bands? I appreciate any and all info that you have to offer and keep up the good work with this awesome website. I have learned a lot from it! Thanks!

Gina B | 06.01.09 - 11:17 am

Robbin

I think you can lose weight following the plan at NowLoss.com/50 here

Pick Lazy for your activity option to lose weight faster and forget about LOW CARB and...

just eat a balanced diet of carbs, proteins with little fat and here's the thing...

with your weight and height - any reduction in calories will be like a low carb diet anyway because you'll have to cut carbs out from your diet anyway but this time...

Don't foucs on eating very little carbs - just eat a mix of carbs and protein and...

make sure your carbs are complex carbs or slow carbs like oatmeal, whole wheat bread, grits (see NowLoss.com/199)

As for your exercise plan - Just do the workout at NowLoss.com/50 and if you don't like the results - Please see 1-thru-5 here plus also in your case...

I think you are relying TOO much on diet (although it's important) for your weight loss and TOO LESS on activity so also this time around put a lot more focus on your activity or exercise and...

I guarantee when you lose weight it'll stay off longer plus it will help you deal with any stress in your life and please...

stay in touch if you have any more questions

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 8:23 am

I really need help!!! I am a 34 year old female, 5'9" and weigh 310. I have tried so many things to lose weight and the only thing that ever worked for me was to do low carb. Actually about 6 years ago I was able to lose about 45 lbs in 2 months doing the low carb diet and walking for about 30 minutes 5 days a week. I was able to keep the weight off until about 2 years ago, when I got into a very disfunctional relationship and the stress itself contributed to me gaining the weight back.

I am insulin resistant, which is why my doctor told me that low carb was the best way to go. About 6 weeks ago I finally got myself in the mind frame to go back to the low carb restrictions. And I have been following it exactly like I did before, only this time I am not losing anything! Over the last 14 months I have tried cutting calories, even cut them down to 1200 per day for a 6 week time period, and that didnt work either.

I dont know what to do anymore! My long term goal is to lose 100 lbs, but I would really like to lose some weight fast right now, I just dont know how to do it and dont even know where to start anymore. Please help me!!!

At your height and weight a VLCD will not work very long so I would rather you go to NowLoss.com/50 and once you have 10 more pounds left - go to NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 05.27.09 - 9:55 am

Hiya Adrian,

Im a female that weighs 10 stone and 9 lbs. My height is 160cm, therefore my BMI is 26.5
NOT GOOD
I am incredibly crap in staying motivated to lose weight, despite looking at your staying motivated tips. The longest I have stuck to a sensible diet and excercise regime is a week and I gave up due to frustration of not seeing a difference in a week! how stupid of me!

So would you be able to tell me what is the LONGEST amount of time, for someone with my BMI (26.5), that can go on a 'Very Low Calorie Diet' with the LEAST amount of calories please? SOMETHING has to help me stay motivated, and a boost of weight loss (water weight at least) should be able to help me.

The reason I am asking YOU is because I want to do this sensibly and not become unhealthy/ill (irregular periods) because of excessive lack of food (Im only 20 years old). Hence, you should be able to tell me from your knowledge and experience.

Aim: To lose 15kg

Thank you

Sona | 05.27.09 - 9:06 am

Sai..,

Honestly...

there is no plan I know of that can help you lose 40 pounds in 10 days but the best advice I can give you is...

Try the master cleanse diet like beyonce did here

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 10:29 pm

Hello Adrian,

I am female with 5 feet 4inches and 170 pounds from India.Could you just let me know if i can include Whey protein shake (mixed with Water) will fasten my weight loss?
i need ur sincere advice in loosing weight because, i have tried 10 plus weight loss plans along with workouts but i have not lost even a single pound in my past 1 year.Instead i have been putting on weight..I am pure vegan with no bad habits...
Hope you would guide me to have a lean body..
Also could you just let me know a plan which can bring me to 120-130 pounds in 10 days..as i have my mariage arranged..Let this weight loss be temporary..but i should acheive 120-130pounds..in 10 days..also i will be on a permanant weight loss plan after my marriage..I will take care of side effcts also..
Please do suggest a plan to acheive my goal...

Awaiting your reply,
Thanks in Advance...

fruits, vegetables and salads.. I have been a vegeterian for 8 months and have stopped eating all the delicious soul food dishes. I just don't know where to start with exercise. Please direct me to a weight loss plan where I can lose between 90-100 pounds. I would love to weigh 150 lbs again! Also, I have problems with my knees so I am not able to do squats.

10 minutes per day with this fine but you should really see NowLoss.com/abs and...

Peter | 05.27.09 - 7:53 am

Peter,

Which training or programs are you talking about?

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 10:23 pm

Yo man, how much time i should make your training per a day?

Peter | 05.26.09 - 7:19 am

Cecily

Yes...

Doing flat stomach exercises (See nowLoss.com/flat) plus going on a diet and exercise will make your waist slimmer but if your waist is already 25 in. then...

You can expect your fat loss rate to be slow since you body fat percentage is probably low.

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 10:23 pm

Hi Adrian

My question is pretty simple. I have a 26 inch waist but i do basically no exercise and I'm not on a strict diet. If I lose weight with cardio as well as go on a diet, can I get down to a 23 inch waist?

The reason I ask is, right now I can use a tape measurer to pull my waist in to 23 inches (it kind of hurts) but I know I'm really pulling in these tough parts of my body on my sides. Could it actually stay that way with weight loss through cardio and diet plus special exercises for my waist (like pilates and the stomach vacuum)?

I would really appreciate an answer as I will be going on holiday in a month's time and really want a tiny waist.
Thanks Adrian

Cecily | 05.26.09 - 4:40 am

2. how many calories a day you eat

3. how you are working out

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 10:19 pm

First I would like to say great site so many tips and great information.

But what I want to ask is I've been on a healthy diet for about a month now and I exercise a lot too almost everyday. So far I lost 9 to 10 lbs and I need to lose about 10 more but it seems that eventhough I lost 10 lbs my body still looks the same :S help

play.with.firre@hotmail.com

Nicole | 05.25.09 - 11:23 pm

Jenny,

Intensity is relative to everyone and I don't know your fitness level but what you have stated is ok and let me give you this tip...

60 seconds of a hard part (where you run) and 75 seconds of an easy part is a good way for beginners to start but to really kick up the fat loss...

Make your hard part harder or make it so hard you can only do it for less than 20-to-40 seconds and make your easy part so easy that you have to walk REAL slow or just STOP and stand in place for 75 seconds but...

start off as you suggested at first and slowly increase the intensity level by running a little faster for less time and walking a little slower each time you workout

contact if need more help

Adrian Bryant | 05.25.09 - 1:10 pm

I walk at 5 miles/hour speed on the treadmill for about an hour everyday.

I am aiming to do interval trainings four times a week.

Will it be sufficient to have the same interval training each day?

For instance, do I have to vary my interval training workouts to lose weight faster? Or can I always stick to the example I mentioned below?

Here is an example of my interval training:

60 seconds 'running' at 6mph
75 seconds walking at 4mph

Is this alright? Is it high intensity enough?

Thank u

Hi Adrian,
I had a baby about a year ago and I have gained a tremendous amount of weight. I am 5'4 and weigh 200 pounds. My goal is to lose 50lbs. overall. By losing 10 pounds evey month.Is this resonable & how can I achieve this?

Kelly Ann | 05.25.09 - 11:57 am

hanita

What's your goal?

Weight loss or muscle gain?

Either way - it's not going to RUIN your goals if you don't skip the late night post workout meal

If you're trying to build muscle I would eat a regular meal and yes whey protein at this time would be good but avoid any sugar (like most people advise post workout) since sugar promotes insulin and insulin = fat gain but...

If it's weight loss you are after - forget the post workout meal and if you happen to be real hungry then just eat a normal meal but post workout your appetite should be decreased anyway.

You can try this exercise to make your calves look slimmer by firming them up

Adrian Bryant | 05.25.09 - 12:40 pm

hi adrian,

i know that eating post workout is essential but since i work out at 9-10pm at night, would you still advice me to eat? because i go to sleep at around 12. and if yes, wt should i eat? i did some research on the internet, and sites suggested that whey protein shakes are the best choice. could you advice on this? thanks

and i would also like to slim down my calves a bit - is there any exercise for that?

thanks a lot

Hello Adrian,
I'm 25 yrs old, 4ft 11inches, sadly I am 120lbs, I gained the 20lbs this past winter. I've never experienced this before, and it's a real self esteem kick in the face.
My Exboyfriend was a trainer, and he had me going to the gym 3x a week, doing Ab workouts 60lbs 25 reps, Rowing 40lbs 25 reps,leg presses 70lbs 40 reps, and the other two machines, I forget what their called, one was at 40lbs 25 reps, and these bars I pushed forward. Then the other was 20lbs 25 reps with my arms pushing up.

So okay, I was dedicated to this work out ALL winter, cause I trusted my EX when he said I would lose weight. But Oh my god!- I swear I got FATTER. The jeans and pants I fit into before I started working out, now don't fit me. *sobs*

Then I read something on Cardio Workouts, so I decided to try the work out. My Ex accompanied me, and put the speed on 1.1, and then only had me do that for 5 mins. I was extremely upset. Why only 5 minutes?

I really need to lose this weight. The more I up my dress sizes to these grueling work outs, the more my confidence is being squashed. Even the determination I had, to lose this weight is beginning to waiver.

If you could give me a good workout plan, to help lose this weight. I would appreciate it.

Can email me at Qutea_pie3@hotmail.com

Thanks again.

Maria Lopez,

Go here to lose love handles

see Nowloss.com/15 to lose 20 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 05.25.09 - 12:30 pm

i want to know how can i loose my love handles they are disgusting i hate them. i am 18 years old 5ft 6in and weight around 145. i want to weight around 120 in about 2 months help please

Maria Lopez | 05.24.09 - 9:23 pm

Vanessa,

YES -as long as you are eating the right amount of calories to lose weight then 4 or even 3 meals are fine but...

5-6 meals are better to take advantage of extra fat burning from the increased metabolism of eating smaller meals

You want to try to eat as healthy as you can or just foods from NowLoss.com/199 but it seems to me that the choices you are making are as healthy as you can get with your hectic lifestyle so in your case - I can let you get away with that but if you ever feel you are not progressing as you like... then you'll know it's time to make better foods choices and/or start packing healhtier lunches

You should at least drink ounce per pound of bodyweight a day and a 1 gallon or 2-to-4 liters shouldnt be a problem for most women and at an ounce per pound - most men will be up to 1-2 gallons anyway

Adrian Bryant | 05.25.09 - 12:29 pm

Hi Adrian,

GREAT WEBSITE...keep up the good work

I am eating 1200 cals a day. However I work as an assistant 4 days a week, therefore i cant split up my 'calorie allowance' through 6 times a day. I usually have breakfast at home (250 calories), lunch (400 cals) at break, and then dinner again 450 cals (occasionally I have a snack a few hours after lunch).

What I want to know is, I am on a strict excercise regome, so does it matter that I am eating only four times a day?
#
As long as I am within 1200 calories, is it ok to eat just four times a day?

ALSO..
when choosing food to make sure I am within my calorie limit, I buy a small low fat wrap and then yogurt or something, Or I will have wholemeal pitta with come sort of low fat filling. BASICALLY ENSURING THAT I STAY WITHIN MY LIMIT......BUT.... SOMETIMES, I just buy a packet of crisps (150 cals) and then something sweet (breaklfast bars - 100 calories)...not exactly healthy..

Is that ok? Eating pretty unhealthy food providing I Stay within my calorie limit?


***** U mentioned to someone that you drink 1-2 gallons of water a day..thats like 4-8 litres,,isnt that DANGEROUS??

please reply...Thank u

Vanessa | 05.24.09 - 7:09 pm

Chacha | 05.24.09 - 10:03 am

Lisa

I don't know off hand what to do for your situation since you are already lean and you obivously look great at that height and weight but since you are lean...

You may be retaining extra water or fluid in your ankle area.

Is your diet high in salt, too many carbs, and low on water?

If so - drink more water, cut back on salt and eat a balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fats plus...

Another cause could be swelling or edema around ankles in which a doctor will have to help you with that

Adrian Bryant | 05.23.09 - 6:43 pm

Hi, First of all i love your site - your approach is so unique! i had my second child 10 months ago and feel great, i credit breastfeeding, diet, and working out to helping my weight loss. 160lbs when i delivered. now i'm 122lbs (5'6" height), only problem is i have fat on my ankles, it sucks. it wont go away, i can pinch it. gross. help! is plastic surgery the only way? whats your professional opinion??

Lisa | 05.23.09 - 12:32 am

mimihaha

Good job and yes...

Your stair workout is paying off!

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 10:15 pm

hi,
i've recently started a healthier lifestyle to lose weight. down about 15 lbs in 5 weeks. for some extra fitness i utilize the stairs at work. i go down and back up 4 flights. 138 stairs both ways. i do this 4 to 6 times each night. sometimes i skip every other step to get some stretch in butt/thigh. it only takes a minute or so to do the 4 flights. do you think this is helping me at all, or am i just wasting my time?
thanks,
mimihaha

mimihaha | 05.22.09 - 9:58 pm

Lauren Busby,

Any exercise along with diet is good for losing weight all over the body.

You can't target areas for fat loss but you can do body sculpting exercises for certain areas of your body to make them look slimmer

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 9:53 pm

hey Adrain i was wondering what the best exercise is for losing weight off of the calf and thy areas. Thank You your site is very helpful!!

Lauren Busby | 05.22.09 - 5:33 pm

Velvet

Look at how to do squats for a bigger butt here

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 9:48 pm

I keep hearing and reading things like this "The most common exercise is the basic squat which mainly targets the gluteus maximus (the larger muscle on the buttock). The most effective way to perform a squat is to push up using the heels of your feet so that it will target your butt and not your thighs." can you make a video doing squats pushing up through the heel, or pictures I just want to be 100 % sure so I can get the right results

Velvet | 05.22.09 - 6:00 am

Chacha,

Look at "How can I Lose Weight, Get a flat stomach and a bigger butt all at the same time? " for a better answer but YES...

You should lose 30 pounds first

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 9:47 pm

Hi Adrian,
I was wondering whether it is possible to burn fat as well as build long lean muscles and bigger glutes?
I've gained weight over the years and want to get back to my original 115-121lbs with a 25inch waist. I was told that I can't lose weight and build muscle at the same time, is this true?
I realize muscle weighs more then fat but I do want to lose at least 30lbs.
My body fat percentage is 27.95% according to your calculator.

Should I lose the 30lbs with one of your permanent weight loss plans before trying to build bigger glutes or will building bigger glutes while on the plan help me lose fat weight faster?
I actually want to replace my lower body fat with muscle without reducing my 41inch butt, by too much anyway. Can I do that while working towards my goal weight?

Thanks for all the free helpful information and videos you've provided here on your site.
Keep doing your thing!

Chacha | 05.21.09 - 11:19 pm

Mara,

Are you telling me the modeling agency or reps actually told you to lose weight or is this something you want to do?

Either way - if you don't care what the scale says (which is a good thing)...

Do body sculpting exercises here instead to firm up certain body parts to make them look slimmer and as you guessed...

I definitely do not think you need to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 9:52 pm

I'm about 117 lbs & between 5'9 and 5'10

It sounds little, but in fact I don't look
skinny. Its just my bonestructure is very
light, I also tend to break bones, thats
why. I'd say I look like 129 lbs.

I'd like to look like they weight I weigh,
so it would be about 108 I guess.

I actually dont really care how much the
scale says, its the look that counts.

I guess the mayor problem is my belly.
And the fact that my thighs touch on the
upper part. Well overall I'm way fatter
than those other girls but its just they
don't seem to eat, or smoke all the time.
And getting anorexia or bulemia seems
a bit dangerous.

thx adrian!

Mara | 05.22.09 - 9:27 am

Mara

what's your weight and height now and how much weight are you trying to lose?

Adrian Bryant | 05.21.09 - 8:54 am

Hi Adrian!

You wont gain weight as long as you dont STOP being active and become a LAZY coach potato and yes...

Your weight loss rate will get slower if you workout less, workout less intense, and less often but NO...

You'll most likely never gain weight if you stay active

Adrian Bryant | 05.21.09 - 8:47 am

hey so i was curious, if i do an intense workout over the summer and in august if i tone done the exercise, will i gain weight? or will i lose it at a slower pace?

hope | 05.20.09 - 10:07 pm

LoMe,

CLA reduces fat everywhere - it's just that in the weight loss studies done with CLA...

The people were overweight and lost weight everywhere while using CLA and as a result shrinked their waistlines

Adrian Bryant | 05.20.09 - 8:53 pm

Hey,
I was wondering if CLA only helps reduce bellyfat? Or does it reduce body fat everywhere but mainly in the belly...... And do all brands of CLA work the same or do you recommd Natrol or can I chose any other brand? Thanks

LoMe | 05.19.09 - 6:35 pm

Tamika,

Yes glucomannan is a fiber that can be sprinkled over your foods to help keep you satisfied and suppress your appettie to prevent weight gain and promote weight loss so...

If you got the money use it!

Adrian Bryant | 05.20.09 - 8:50 pm

I just wanted to ask if you have heard about glucomannan (type of fiber) and if so, what do you think about it

Tamika | 05.19.09 - 3:54 pm

cutie44404,

Anybody can get a flat stomach - dont use genes as an excuse not to get the body you want!

Adrian Bryant | 05.20.09 - 9:12 pm

hi, thanks for your replies and help. please tell me is getting a flat stomach is possible for everyone or depends on your genes.

thanks

cutie44404@yahoo.com

cutie44404 | 05.19.09 - 8:51 am

Robbie,

any exercise is fine but of course intervals (see NowLoss.com/i) are better for faster fat loss

THe best exercise depends on your weight and how fast you want to lose your belly fat

If losing belly fat is a long term goal then jogging for 20 min is fine but if you want to do it faster...

I would try to do intervals 3-4 times a week and optionally...

you can do light intensity workouts the other days of the week

See how hard you need to workout to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.20.09 - 9:09 pm

Hi Adrian,
Thank you for your amazing website!

I am overweight and I am trying to lose weight mainly with a diet that my nutritionist gave me and its already working.

HOwever I can't get rid of the belly fat, my belly is really big and also my waiste. What is the best excercise you suggest me to get rid of that?
I am currently trying jogging and cycling but I don't know if I should go for like 20-30 mins at the same speed or its better to do intervals. If so how should I do intervals?

Thank you
Robbie

Robbie | 05.19.09 - 6:30 am

Nelson,

Start on this program here to get results

Adrian Bryant | 05.20.09 - 8:58 pm

Hello Adrian, I want to get in shape but I don't know where to start and don't say go to www.nowloss.com. I want my abs to be visible and I want to gain muscle fast. Im a beginer so I will probably gain noticeable results.

Nelson | 05.18.09 - 5:51 pm

jlweismiller,

Exactly!

To see visible abs - guys need lower than 10% fat - go here to check body fat but YES...

More weight/fat loss is needed to see abs and it takes longer to lose those last few pounds but the quickest way is to do more intense cardio (Nowloss.com/i) and stick to your diet with very few cheat days and...

Going to NowLoss.com/abs helps also

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.09 - 5:26 pm

Adrian,

I want to thank you for providing such an informative website. I'm a 35 year old male and 6' tall. About 7 months ago I weighed 230 lbs. Since then through strict diet and TONS of cardio, I've lost 50 lbs. and am down to 180. I've recently started lifting to build muscle and have seen gains in mass and strength. Overall I'm very happy with my progress. But I do still have a flabby layer on my stomach that doesn't seem to want to go away. It's not stretched out skin, just a fat layer. Obviously after all of the work I've done and continue to do, I WANT SOME NICE ABS!! Is this a matter of continuing to lose fat though cardio, doing tons of ab exercises, or BOTH? I'll do whatever I need to do, I just want the proper advice from someone like you. Thanks again. You are the man!!

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.09 - 5:23 pm

Hi Adrian,

I'm trying to get down to 135 from 170. I'm 5"3... I have turkey arms and love handles that are utterly disgusting to me. What can I do to get rid of them and tone up my bottom?

Do this breast workout here

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.09 - 5:21 pm

Over the last year, I have lost a total of 75 pounds. My measurements used to be 40DD-37-43. Now I am 34C-26-38. My problem is my breast. When I lost the fat, I lost my breast. They are horrible looking. They look like grandma boobs. I do push ups and body building exercises however, the skin still sag. Is there anything I can do with this skin?I am so ashamed of my breast.

redhotonfire1 | 05.17.09 - 8:51 pm

Richard Brown,

What you are doing NOW is fine!

Permanent Weight loss is all about staying active (like you are) and eating right

As for your goals - if you want build a little muscle - then you can trade some cardio for weights

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.09 - 5:20 pm

Hi I'm 44, about 220lbs and I've just started doing intense 1hr cardio sessions 3-4 times weekly on treadmill, x-trainer & stading bike. To achieve more permanent weight loss should I lose a cardio session and have a free wieght session or attend a class like bodypump, or continue as I am?

Richard Brown | 05.17.09 - 2:30 pm

ali,

It sounds like you have your last bit of fat to lose and the best way to lose your last bit of fat is to do more intense workouts (see NowLoss.com/i) and if you have time...

Do them in the morning and evening for about 20-to-45 mintues 4 times a week and also...

You want to try eating about 1500-to-2000 calories of high quality foods (see NowLoss.com/199) plus...

Do this ab workout at NowLoss.com/abs

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 10:40 am

hi adrian, please help me lose some fat off my stomach i have literally none or little fat anywhere else on my body except my stomach, i would like to lose this and improve my fitness as i am or used to be a keen footballer, ideally i would like to increase muscle size but the priority is this belly fat, im 28 yrs weighing approx 168lbs work six days a week and have little time during the day please help thank you

ali | 05.17.09 - 8:59 am

MARIAM M,

I never heard of the accuslim beads until you told me about them and after checking out the website and how it works - I can't honestly tell you if it works but...

I will tell you that if you wear them - it's not going to magically make you lose weight without diet or exercise as the site claims so in my opinion...

Dont waste your time or money but if you do have the time and money - try it out while eating healthy for a week and see what happens and you can share your results with us but again I say...

I dont think anything (pills, supplements, accuslim beads) will ever beat out diet and exercise for losing weight or anything to look good naked

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 10:38 am

HI i want to ask you about accuslim beads is it really works? and is it has any side effect on a nerves system or generally on a health ? please iam really trust you and it is very important for me to now your answer .

Lindsay King | 05.15.09 - 11:45 pm

Maria,

Soreness is going to happen whenever you do anything new or haven't worked out in a while and with time - you won't get as sore anymore but...

You really shouldn't be doing HIGH intensiyt or hard workouts everydya anyway and you only need to do them 3-to-4 times a week and you may need 2 days off instead of 1 in between your workouts before you get your fitnesss level up to where you can do it with 1 day rest of back to back days but...

If you are sore and still want to workout to lose weight - just do a low intensity weight loss activiyt like walking at a slow pace for a long time to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 10:32 am

Hey Adrian!

Everytime I work out I get sore muscles.
And so sore, that I barely can move
the following days. But I really want to work
out at least every second day. What should I do?

Because I'm at a normal weight I read you
said the workout should be harder in order
to get the results!

Maria | 05.16.09 - 3:35 am

Maria,

As for weight loss...

you can leave out the jump squats (which'll do anyway in the fast weight loss workout) and the simple butt toning exercise for now and...

Foucus on doing either the fast weight loss workouts #1 & 2 or the intervals 3-to-4 times a week so it's up to you which one you do but a good start is to do a differnet ONE on Mon, Wed, and Friday 1-to-2 times a day like first thing in morning and again in evening and on the other days or at least 2 other days of the week...

You can do your walking for 75min.

Contact if need more help

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 10:28 am

Hello Adrian. You have a Great Website. Keep up the good work.

I am a 20 years old and my BM1 is 24.1 – I am in the overweight region.

I am looking to lose 10kg so I can weigh 55kg. I feel that this is my ideal weight.

Upon browsing your website, I have come up with what I would like to include in my exercise regime.

It is as follows:

• Jump squats to tone up glutes, thighs and hips
• The simple butt toning exercise
• Fast loss workout #1
• Fast loss workout #2
• Pyramid interval workout
• Walking at 5mp on treadmill for 75mins everyday

Can you please put them in the:
1) order that the workouts should be done
2) What days each workout should be done
3) Best time of the day to complete each workout for maximum weight loss.

I understand that you are a busy man but please do answer my question to the best that you can in detail if possible

Thank you

Maria | 05.15.09 - 1:29 pm

Trisha,

any tae-bo tape is fine no matter what your fitness level is so you can start off with the advanced tape if you want to and...

if you get tired during the workout - either pause the tape and catch your breath or just march in place and Billy blanks will tell you the same thing.

I'm in good shape and I couldn't finish an entire tae-bo tape until my 3rd time without stopping and yes...

10kg or 20 pounds is possible but more realistically...

your first 5kg will come off fast but it's going to take longer for you to lose those last 10 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 10:24 am

Hi Adrian. This is Trisha again. Thank you for your advice.
I am thinking of getting a tae-bo video. But the thing is, even at the age of 19, I am very unfit. I get out of breath just by walking two flights of stairs. From reviews it says that its best to start with level 1/basic for tae-bo if you’re not fit. But I feel that if I do the basic video, that I will not lose weight as quick as I want to. So can you please advise me on what I should do.. And if you think I should get tae-bo, Please advise me on which video is best to get for maximum results in weight loss and toning (within a month).
Thanks

I weigh 65kg, Im a 19 year old female, height 160cm.

I want to lose 10 kg in a month+

Is that possible?

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.09 - 10:47 pm

Hey Adrian, I posted this question on anotrher page but no response! i must have checked at least 50 times lol. Please reply if you can . Thanks



Hi Adrian. Im a 19 years old female. I weight 65kg and my height is 160cm. My waist measurement: 35inches and measurement around love handles: 39inches. Adrian, I desperately want to lose inches on my waist and my BIG love handles. Currently I look similair to a picture on this link http://images.google.co.uk/imgre......t%3D54%26um% 3D1 My back looks slightly bigger to the picture that is the second pic down on the left hand side and a belly where the fat is distributed all over the front. THATS ME. Yep. How hideous. Anyway Adrian, I want to lose 10 inches off my waist and fast. Right now, I am just doing 10,000 steps a day on the treadmill and watching my calorie intake. BUT I NEED TO LOSE THE INCHES ON MY WAIST AND GET RID OF MY LOVE HANDLES. This is ruining my life. My self-esteem is so low that im constantly depressed. Please help me Adrian. Tell me how often I need to do the broom excercise and how many repitiitons for MAXIMUM RESULTS. And what else is there to boost inch loss in waist and love handles. Give me everything pls! Also, can you find out what is my body fat percentage is. Yours is not working on my pc for some reason. Is it also possible to do the body sculpting excercises whilst on a fat burning regime? because you said theres no point in doing them unless you are at a low body fat percentage and I doubt I am. PLEASE PLEASE reply to all my questions Adrian. I have looked all over your great website so plsss dont send me links and be a little bit more specific. THANK U SO MUCH ADRIAN. Hoping to hear from you soon. Bye


*UPDATE* can u also tell me how many repetitions the dunbell excercises for flabby arms please. Thanks

Yes and stay in touch with me if you need more help

I am 5'5 175. I have waited to long to do something about my weight. I have exactly three months untill my wedding date. I am motivated by having no more time to be a slug! Would the raw veggies and soy shakes be good for me along with the everyday workout?
I know I need the dedication but your website feels like a great start.

jeneraider2002@yahoo.com

Jennifer | 05.14.09 - 12:44 pm

eugene,

YES but the more you workout = the less intense you have to workout everytime you workout so for example...

You can walk 5 miles a day at a slow pace everyday to lose weight but...

You can only do intervals 3-to-4 times a week due to high intensity so the best overall approach is...

Do intervals 3 times a week and low intensity stuff 3-to-4 times a week

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.09 - 10:36 pm

why work out only twice a week ??wouldn't we lose more if we work out every day ?

eugene | 05.14.09 - 6:01 am

cutie44404

1. dont have to but it's recommend to prevent injury

2. i dont understand what're asking really but... you have to do waht you see in the fast weight loss workout video here 2-to-4 times before doing a 20 minute interval at NowLoss.com/i and if you want to workout again (or do this workout twice a day) - then you need to wait 4+ hours before doing this workout again

3. I dont understand again but if you need to rest - it's okay to rest if you have to and you will build up stamina to do this entire workout with the recommend rest periods

4. you can do 100 jumping jacks or jump rope

Gidget B.,

Same rules apply to you...

Just go here to see how long you need to workout to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.09 - 10:23 pm

Hello! I have a physical disability and am unable to do standing exercises. I've been doing low impact aerobics 3 times a week sitting in a chair. I also lift weights 3 times a week. I'm losing weight and my doctor approves of my exercising. I just bought a hand cycle. How often and for how long do you think I should use the hand cycle? I want to strengthen and tone my arms without getting bulky. Thanks! Your website is terrific.

Gidget B. | 05.13.09 - 12:02 pm

Dana,

Yes - walking will help you lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.13.09 - 8:59 pm

Dana | 05.13.09 - 11:49 am

sportygirl,

I think you're active enough to lose weight but...

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.09 - 10:21 pm

hey so i am 15, 5'll and i am 185 pounds, it sounds huge but i do not look that fat. i am mostly muscle but i still have too much fat on my stomach and upper thigh.
i either work out or play soccer ore tennis everyday, sometimes both.. but i still seem to be bigger than all my friends..
i love food, i am part italian and food is a big par of our culture.. but i eat as much as my friends, and they eat way more junk food but i still cant slim down. i think it is eves starting to effect my sports, i love sports and i dont want my wieght to slow me down.

Velvet,

Made this just for you (and everyone else of course) but...

Go here to get a body like Melyssa Ford aka Jessica Rabbitt

Adrian Bryant | 05.12.09 - 7:53 pm

Hi! Can you make up a section for Melyssa Ford? How to lose weight and form a body like Meylssa Ford? I want a lot of belly fat, and love handles and arm fat that I want to get rid off! I have a 35 inch stomach and 42 inch bottom! I want to keep my bottom and enhance and round it out and get wider hips as well. I don't want a hard lower body either I want it to still be womanly and soft if you know what I mean. Like Beyonce legs are really built and womanly at the same time. After I lose all the upper body and belly fat I want to work on a smaller waist. I wear a 36D and I want to lift my chest so I can wear certain dresses with without a bra.I've joined Crunch gym so I would like to know what machines to work on and for how long and stuff like that. Also can you have a big butt and big hips being a vegetarian or vegan?

Velvet | 05.12.09 - 5:49 pm

Dana,

what you are doing is fine although I think you should follow the diet plan at lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks

Adrian Bryant | 05.12.09 - 6:39 pm

I have just started to walk briskly during my lunch about 1.76 miles total. I get a little sweaty toward the end. It takes me about 28 minutes to walk the 1.76 mi. I climb the stars 3 flights back up. Is that really gonna have any benefit?

Also, I have been juicing ....trying to drink carrot apple celery juices throughtout the day and then eat a sensible dinner. I think I am going to try to drink reset shakes and followed by 8oz of the juice 4 times a day adding flax seed oil to it. Do you think this will have the same benefits as the 20 lbs in 3 weeks or do I need more fiber?

Dana | 05.12.09 - 2:18 pm

RAHUL WADHWA,

What's your body fat % - go here to check.

Usually guys need lower than 10% to see their abs and if yours is higher than 10% - you just need to diet & exercise more (see NowLoss.com) to lose fat but if your bodyfat is low...

Then you probably need to stay away from too much salt and sugar which causing blaoting in the stomach and you may need to drink more water like up to a gallon a day

Adrian Bryant | 05.10.09 - 4:30 pm

I M NOT FAT BUT MY STOMACH IS LARGER THAN MY USUAL BODY AND WHENEVER I EAT IT PUMPS UP MORE. I NOT ONLY WANT IT TO BE OF SAME SIZE AS MY BODY BUT I ALSO WANT MY ABS TO SHOW UP .

Harleen,

First of all you'll be better off asking a therapist what you can do to stay active with a busted knee but...

You could try swimming and the only other instense fat loss exercise I can think of that does not require the knee is using an arm bike - go here to see how to use an arm bike and also...

Watch your diet by eating more weight loss foods (see nowloss.com/199) and by cutting back on what you eat.
I suspect that until your knee gets better - you'll need to focus more on eating right to get back to your goal and as always...

just contact me again if you need more help

Adrian Bryant | 05.08.09 - 9:01 pm

Hey Adrian,

Whenever you can do 8-12 reps with any weight - increase it.

Hula hooping or anything that gets you active will burn fat but go here to see if you are working hard enough to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.06.09 - 6:12 pm

As a matter of fact, I saw a pic of my dad at my age, and my body is a twin to his! Am I doomed to a belly like him in the future? Now, with the recent loss of my job, I haven't eaten the best I can, and I'm gaining fat fast, I want it gone... I have never had a gut like this with love handles, and it's getting worse. Please help!

Hi Adrian

I am reasonably happy with the size and tone of my arms but I have an above average bone size -in a way this is a good thing as it makes me look broad shouldered etc. but it also makes my elbow bone (well, the little bone on your inner arm at elbow height) stick out. What muscle should I train to gain mass around this bone so it no longer sticks out?

Thanks

Hi, Its Mike again.
Thank you for your response, but my question now is, after hours of surfing the net, I found out that muscle break down for energy before fat when there are no carbs! Is it true, if not, when is muscle broken down?

My Question: I am a 25 year old female, 5'6", (currently)192.8 lbs. I have started a weight lose program on my own.[documenting it on youtube.that's how i found you bty] I've started with mostly cardio. I'm a learning more about weight training right now, but those machines scare me. However, my largest concern about losing weight is my breast. I have always had fuller breast , since adolescents but when I gained weight (in college) they BALLOONED to the wonderful 42DDD's I have today. I'm sure with weight lose I will lose breast volume, right?I want to know what can I do to make sure that my breast still look good. I joke with my friends that if my breast start to look ugly (prune-like) I will get fat again . PLEASE HELP ME...they're my prized possessions.

Tanya | 05.01.09 - 9:46 pm

mike,

If you had to choose ONE - go with L-Glut and use up to 20 grams a day but really...

If you already have a protein mix/shake - then the glutamine is already in it usuallly so you don't have to spend extra to get it and...

You can take fat burners while building muscle

Adrian Bryant | 05.01.09 - 10:07 am

I would first like to thank you for the great site, and I would like to ask, is it a good idea to choose L-Glutamine over creatine, what doses am I supposed to take it, and what can I add to whey and glutamine for maximum muscular results. And btw, is it smart to add fat loss supplements while building muscles?

Go to NowLoss.com/8 to lose weight with your busy schedule

Adrian Bryant | 04.30.09 - 10:04 pm

I have a very full schedule, work (besides my normal schedule, I'm on call 24/7 every other week), family, school, volunteer work, etc. I am curious as to what is the best combination of cardio and/or strength to do for the best results. Since I believe it is important, I have 30 - 45 minutes, 5 days a week for some type of exercise. In additional I can take 2 to 3, 10 - 15 minute breaks a day for light exercise during work. Should I combine both cardio and strength every day? Should I alternate? Reading is confusing because everyone seems to have a different idea.

I have a treadmill, free weights, stability ball, bosu ball, bands, and other small items I can easily store in a closet. So there are plenty of options to choose from at home.

Thanks!

Hi Adrian, I'm satisfied with my weight but not with my thighs, they jiggle when I walk. What home exercise can you recommend? Thank you.

Sammie | 04.29.09 - 6:16 pm

Dear Adrian, I forgot to mention earlier that I also take lipo6 hers, the fatburner my highest weight was 366 April 1st so I lost without even trying. I started keeping track on April 16 and weighed in at 357 and thats when I started taken the fatburner.Now I'm 350 it keep going from 345 and then back to 350.Thursday will be the beginning of my 3rd week. I know I need to try to excersise more.I'm I eating enough calories?Do I need to stop taken the fatburner?Desperally need your help.

angela | 04.29.09 - 11:53 pm

dear adrian, I drink 72oz of water a day and I put lemon juice in it because I heard that it burns fat.Is there any truth to that?Also I started out doing protein& simple/complex carbs and I was losing but now I'm always on the go and dont always eat 5-6 small meals, but by the end of the day I had eaten oatmeal,2 fruits,low carb wrap,nuts& wheat crackers sometimes,atkins shake,and my dinner would be a protein,veggie,& a starch and in between I dont be hungry and by 7pm I dont eat anymore.I havn't been exercising alot but I do try for a few min. I do plan to do more. Does this sound ok to you because I feel confused.

Diet and exercise works faster but back to your question...

It's better to use CLA since CLA isn't naturally avialable in most foods while on the other hand...

You can get Omega-3's for FREE from fish & nuts

Both are good but to lose inches or fat = using a gym and/or aerobics so BOTH will help you in your goals.

You probably gained sexy muscles from aeroibics and I doubt it was fat but if it was...

Hi Adrian, Firstly, awesome site mate, so many good tips and useful info. Pleasing to know some of the crazy exercise ideas I had actually work, ie: handstand pushups. Secondly, I used to have a reasonably flat stomach, now it protrudes quite alot when at rest and I dont seem to have much tightness in it, although when I tense them I can feel the six pack but my abs always seem jelly like now not to mention I have a little flab around belly button area and love handles. What can I do to get some good firmness back in the abs rather than them always being jelly like?

Adrian Bryant | 04.17.09 - 8:49 pm

Adrian,
What is the best diet to follow when trying to lose inches? I have lost 31lbs since January but the inches are not coming off as I would like. I am following your plan eating 5times a day for a 1600cal diet. I also am drinking a gallon of water daily doing exercise in the morning most days and strength training/arobics in the evening. I want to lose more inches in my waist and hips. Can you please share your magic? Thanks!

Sondra | 04.17.09 - 2:51 pm

brklynbebe2189,

Never heard of the fat burner your friend was taking but let me be frank...

Not taking diet pills (even CLA) is not going to make or break your weight loss goals.

Do I take fat burners? - YES I do but...

I take them primary for the energy from the caffeine and yes... the caffeine does help burn a little more fat when taken in the mornings on an empty stomach but I would still burn fat without fat burners so basically what I'm saying is...

Dont stress so much over what pills to take - put most of your stress into your diet & exercise

Adrian Bryant | 04.17.09 - 8:46 pm

on days that i dont exercise, will Tonalincia CLA still help burn belly fat?
and i dont believe in diet pills, but a friend had told me her friend used BETHEL S30 and lost 40 lbs in 3 months... what is your opinion on BETHEL S30 ?

brklynbebe2189@gmail.com | 04.17.09 - 12:51 pm

I still recommend the same plan at NowLoss.com/15 because it seems to me it's more intense and more calorie restrictive than the previous plan you were doing plus another you can do also when you get trapped...

Look at how to speed up weight loss

Adrian Bryant | 04.16.09 - 1:37 pm

3+ lbs a month would have been fabulous. It took over 6 months to lose the 3 lbs and in a year I only lost about 5. My body changed very little based on the fit of my clothes.

I've checked out the various plans. Based on the extremely slow loss, do you still recommend the same plan?

L J | 04.16.09 - 8:22 am

L J,

3+ pounds a month is GOOD at your weight & height so dont be frusrated at all because...

People like you who are not really overweight will tend to lose weight at a slower rate - go here to see why but...

Here's a plan at NowLoss.com/15 that'll have you eating less and working more intensly which could help you lose more than 3 pounds a month but like I said...

3+ pounds or even 2-to-4 pounds a month is good at your height and weight

Adrian Bryant | 04.15.09 - 8:18 pm

I am extremely discouraged. My body seems to have been stuck for a very long time. I am 43, 5'6" and about 140 lbs. I am a realist and don't expect to be the size I was at 25, but would like to lose inches and 10 - 15 lbs. Last year, I had a one-on-one person trainer for almost the entire year. We worked out together 2x a week. Most weeks I added a 3rd strength training workout at home. In addition I did cardio (treadmill) 3-5 times a week for a minimum of 35 minutes (mostly intervals). I kept a food journal too, and my calories averaged around 1500 - 1700 per day. My eating habits are decent, but since I do not eat any meat, getting protein is a challenge.

After all of that, my body changed very little and I lost only about 3 lbs. I was so discouraged that I did very little for almost an entire month.

To add to my frustrations I have had digestive issues since I was 16. Since the "specialist" can't come up with an answer, I've been thrown into the IBS bucket. I am constantly battling bloating and pain. When I was much younger I went to the extreme of juicing and fasting. I felt fabulous, but I don't have the time or energy to do that again.

I am getting back on track with my diet and exercise, but need help. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong? I am sure I am not the only woman with this problem. So any suggestions are very much appreciated.

It's spring time now so are you able to do this weight loss workout outside of your home?

Adrian Bryant | 04.15.09 - 8:14 pm

i cant seem to exercise in my home, the space to exercise is rather small. so i only do the light weights i have, but wouldnt that give me muscles instead of losing the fat i have? i have a hoolahoop though, but i really want to lose weight before the june. im 125lbs and i am hoping to be 105lbs or 110lbs at least.

sabrine | 04.14.09 - 10:58 pm

Aak,

You need to keep track of your bodyfat % here instead of checking your weight if you are trying to burn fat and gain muscle and...

You want to aim for below 10-to-15% bodyfat

Adrian Bryant | 04.15.09 - 8:13 pm

Hi, one problem that i'm encountering in my goal for weight loss, is that i simply cannot keep track whether or not i'm losing weight. I do moderate to high intensity workouts, 6 times per week, and have a 30 minute cardio session 6 times per week [i dnt do cardio on the day, and the day after, when i work out my legs]

every time i check my weight on the scale, it says something between 203 to 210 lbs. depends on the time of the day, it tends to increase right after meals.

So my problem is: how can i possibly monitor how much weight i`m losin, when i'm building muscle [adding weight] and burning off calories at the same time?

it's been really frustrating, because i've kept this workout for 3 weeks now, and i cant see any real change.

any help with that? thanks

Lucia B,

You're already LEAN at your weight and height so losing more fat may not be an option so...

GO here to firm up inner thighs

Go here for waist and go to Nowloss.com/abs for lower abs

Adrian Bryant | 04.12.09 - 9:47 am

Hi! I'm 39, 5' 3" ,weigh 50 kg and have been working out for 5 years. My upper body is fine but my main problem is I have flabby ares - upper and inner thigh, lower back where my waist meets my hips and lower abs. I eat helthy opting for greens and little carbs and fat but still, no changes. Lately I've been taking amino acid and protien shake to help my body lean but I feel like my body got bigger and flabbier! Help!

Lucia B | 04.12.09 - 6:23 am

Iaquinta,

Look at this video to help you do more dips and...

Dips hit your entire chest but are more focused on lower and outer pecs so do incline bench presses to focus on upper chest

Adrian Bryant | 04.11.09 - 8:12 pm

Hello. May i know how do i train to do more parallel bar dips. Moreover, i find that parallel bar dips work more of the outer pecs & lower chest. does it work the upper chest?

Go here for good workouts and...

Whey protein is fine when trying to lose weight and/or gain muscle

Adrian Bryant | 04.10.09 - 11:53 am

Hello, I am trying to slim down to 180, right now I am around 190. I am trying to get lean and tone, not a bulky look, sort of like the fitness of a soccer player. Now, I am trying to find some good cardio workouts, and also should I not lift weights to lose weight? Also, whey protein? Is it not a good idea to drink this till I get to my goal weight? I have been and it made my bicep bigger, but not the look I am going for. Please help, thanks.

Eric | 04.10.09 - 4:08 am

Rhone Laman,

If you're a model - I'm guessing you are not overweight and to lose 10 pounds NOT BEING overweight...

You need to see NowLoss.com/15 and...

Go to NowLoss.com/199 for foods to eat and NO...

Cutting caloreis (NOT CARBS) helps when losing weight

Adrian Bryant | 04.10.09 - 11:52 am

hi Adrian,

Im a comercial print model and i was told to lose 10 to 15 pounds today by my manager. I dont consider myself fat, but i dont feel like loseing my job either.
do you have any suggestions, as to what foods to eat or a diet plan?
and does cutting the carbs really help out when your trying to drop the lbs?

thank you so much

Rhone Laman | 04.09.09 - 11:33 pm

wannabsexiiagin,

BOTH.

Here's the rules...

1. the harder or more intense your workout is = the shorter it has to be like 20-to-40 minute intervals to burn fat or...

2. the easier your workout is = the longer like a 60-to-90 minute walk and to avoid burnout...

It's best to mix up the 2 by using a workout plan like this one here to lose 50 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 04.09.09 - 10:13 pm

I'm 29, 5'3" and 174lbs. I have a medium body frame and most of my body fat is concentrated in the front and lower part of my stomach. Before I began having children I weighed 142lbs, which is not really ideal for my height but I was shapely with a nice waist and really thick, athletic legs like a soccer player. I have since birthed seven children, hence the belly flab! When I look in the mirror I can still see my shape underneath this fat so it's a lil motivation for me. I know because of my weight concentration I should eat foods as close to natural form and eliminate refined, processed foods. But as far as my workout regimen, should I work out in short(30-45min) high intensity intervals, or should it be long(60-90), moderate to low intensity to really hit that fat concentration? I'd like to lose at least 30-40 lbs and not have excess skin from losing too fast.

wannabsexiiagin | 04.09.09 - 1:50 pm

Sasha,

Go here to speed up weight loss but...

If your exercise time is limited - I would go to NowLoss.com/i and do intervals

Adrian Bryant | 04.09.09 - 10:10 pm

Hello -

I've browsed for a while reading your advice. I have been trying the HCG protocol/with a VLCD (500 calories per day) I weigh 166 and am 5'4". I would really like to get back to 125-130 for a wedding in October. The HCG seems to be working but not like the other reviews on the internet are. I work in outside sales for my job and have no option but to eat out for lunch every day. With my work schedule and 2 small children I only get to exercise about 2-3 times per week and it is usually 30-45 minutes on an elliptical. Do you have any advice on what I can do to quickly get back to where I need to be? I really want to look nice for this wedding.

Sasha | 04.09.09 - 1:02 pm

angel_krista26,

You mainly just need to go to NowLoss.com/50 but yes...

Any (REAL) Green tea supplement like from wal-mart will help and if you're having trouble losing weight...

See why you can't lose weight before you turn to pills

Adrian Bryant | 04.09.09 - 10:06 pm

Hi i am 16 and my weight is about 180 and it was 125 how can i get back to it can i take some diet pills from walmart or walgreens like the green tea or something or if you know of any kinda diet pills that will work i have been watching what i eat and walk alot and i really havn't lost anything and i dont want to order anything online or tv shows. just looking for something in a store if you could please get back to me my email is angel_krista26@yahoo.com thanks

angel_krista26@yahoo.com | 04.09.09 - 12:39 pm

Any protein is fine.

I personally use Optimum Nutrion's whey protein

I like NAtural chocalote and cookies & cream flavors

Adrian Bryant | 04.07.09 - 10:17 pm

Hey Adrian, I am looking for protein powder to add to smoothies (usually involving frozen fruits and milk) as a quick breakfast or even after exercise such as playing soccer or basketball. If you could suggest a particular type of protein to be used in such cases, that'd be great...I was leaning towards any type of whey protein. Just wanted to get your take on things. Thank you

I need some advice. I started going to the gym and doing cardio to loose weight about 5 weeks ago. I have only lost 5 pounds. I have about 50 pounds to loose... what is the best way to loose pounds on the scale. I do feel a difference in my clothes, but the scale is what motivates me. I also changed my diet completly and stopped drinking diet soda. I just had a baby 6 months ago... do you think it's just going to take some time? Any suggestions on what I should be doing in the gym to get the pounds off?

Thanks for your help!

Adrian Bryant | 04.06.09 - 6:21 pm

Alexander Deomnd Jasper | 04.06.09 - 1:02 pm

MamaD,

The fruit fast is not a good idea and usually - the closer you get to your weight loss goal means...

1. you have to do more intense workouts - see NowLoss.com/i and/or...

2. Really watch WHAT you eat (see nowloss.com/199) - Keep your calories right but before you try fasting...

Look at how to break out of plateau and also look at How NOT to lose weight so you wont think about fasting

Adrian Bryant | 04.06.09 - 6:20 pm

Hi, I've havent lost any weight in the last 3 weeks, -have lost 12 pounds now and just 8 to go.
I've increased workouts and also upped claories a bit. I'm currently weighing 178 pounds at 5ft 9inches.

I've heard of a fruit fast and I wondered if it could help get my body out of the plateau phase

Please let me know if this is a good idea and what else I can do!

Thanks

MamaD | 04.06.09 - 9:27 am

Becky,

Water weight is not your enemy here... You just need to keep working on your weight loss goal with diet and exercise.

Try this body fat calculator here - it's not as accurate as the caliper thing but it can give you a rough estimate

Adrian Bryant | 04.06.09 - 6:13 pm

My weight IS the problem. I weigh 165 (even more than the last time i talked to you on here) and i'm 5'3". My body fat was 32%. She took it with a caliper and one other thing to get a second opinion. She squezzed it and said it felt like quite a bit of water weight.

Becky | 04.06.09 - 8:22 am

Caleb,

If you're trying to lose weight then I suggest you go to NowLoss.com/50 to make those areas smaller

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.09 - 8:40 pm

Hi my upper body is very heavy and so are my thighs However my legs are not really that big. i weigh 260 and i'm 5'10. What do you recomend i start doing?

Caleb | 04.05.09 - 8:35 pm

Kay,

I never heard of a health walker but if it keeps you active - then yes...

It can take the place of walking and...

try this home workout if no time and also look at NowLoss.com/8 for busy people

You can do at home chest exercises like this one here

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.09 - 8:21 pm

Hi.. and thanks in advance for your helpful tip (I hope) ha ha!

Due to a heavy schedule and busy lifestyle.. I have very little time left in day-light hours for physical activity, however I recently bought a Health Walker which I would like to use in the evening and perhaps as soon as I wake up.

My question? Is the Health walker a good substitute for normal walking and is this kind of activity okay to do at night. I am about 20kg over-weight and have gained most of the excess since having to stop my daily gym routines because of time restraints.

Kay | 04.05.09 - 3:27 pm

shivam sood,

You can do at home chest exercises like this one here

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.09 - 8:18 pm

shivam sood | 04.05.09 - 2:18 pm

Becky,

What's your weight & height & body fat percentage & how was your BF% checked?

THe only thing you can really do for a temporary fix is to increase your protein & raw veggie intake to deplete stored carbs flushing our water weight but even so...

I don't think "water weight" is your main problem

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.09 - 12:23 pm

I took my body fat percentage with a personal trainer this week. She said that it felt like I had a lot of water weight on me. I don't use salt, I put salsa on my salads for lunch and I drink 80oz of water at least each day. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to get rid of the water weight? I only eat clean btw!

Becky | 04.05.09 - 11:55 am

Dillon,

You're only about 10-to-20 pound overweight for your height and you're young so...

Something simple like NowLoss.com/8 will shape you up

Do these exercises to get a lifted rear end without beefing up your thighs..

1. One leg deadlift
2. Butt bridge
3. reverse hypers

Adrian Bryant | 04.04.09 - 4:54 pm

First of all let me fill you in about myself so you can understand my body type and metabolism.

Growing up I was always thin and active . Competitive soccer andsoftball, as well as basketball.
I have been in the gym and working out at home since age 13. I am now 19. I weigh 125 and want to know some ways to oomph my results. I am exremely flexible and have good balance so my body can handle the more intense awkward advanced positions. I just want to know a few things.

okay first of all,
I would like to have thinner legs while still maintaining muscle and definition. but i want to have a larger bum in the process and lose the little bit of meat that is on the outer lower region of my bum and thigh.
so i guess my first question would be.

1. What excercises should I do, and how often, to build a large large backside that is superlifted (Note: I am willing to work my ass off. haha)
2. What can I do to maintain thin feminine legs while maintaining a large bum? What cardio do you reccomend that will not burn off my bum but keep my legs in shape? Spinning? Running? I know sprinting is great for your bum but I noticed that my legs got beefy when I started up sprinting.
3.What is the best movement for getting your waist to have the perfect ) ; ( shape.

i wonder how it is that models such as marissa miller can have such a lifted round rear but still have these girlish feminine legs and flat stomaches--

mae | 04.04.09 - 1:33 pm

shivam sood,

YES - start weight lifting and doing chest exercises like bench presses to make your chest look better as you lose chest fat

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.09 - 10:25 am

for jessica..my favorite love handle exercise is putting a 12lb medicine ball on the floor beside you in a sit up position. When you come up from doing a sit up (not all the way to the top) move the medicine ball from one side to the other. It's the only thing I can do to feel a difference!

Yes & No...

I would not lift weights at all for 8 days and do cardio twice a day the last 8 days to win but...

Even if you did weights - it's still a very low chance of you gaining muscle weight because you are on a calorie restrited diet and it's usually harder for women to "gain" muscle

Adrian Bryant | 04.01.09 - 9:00 am

I am 32 year old female. I started in Jan 09 at 240 lbs after giving birth to number 3. I am currently 200 lbs. I am in a weight loss competition. I have 8 days left. I currently workout every morning for about 1 1/2 mixing cardio and weights. My question is if I up my workouts the last 8 days to twice a day laying of the weights could i see a bigger number of lbs lost this last week? Any advice for the sake of competition? I am super happy of where I have come but I am also REALLY wanting to win the competition!

Joni | 04.01.09 - 8:13 am

V,

You are doing nothing wrong! - people say you're looking good so what's the problem?

If you're more concerned about what the scale says then I would limit your weight training, throw out cardio and...


Do intervals (see NowLoss.com/i) 3-to-5 times a week and you may also want to try eating 1100-to-1400 calories a day and...

Look at these other tips to break your plateau

Adrian Bryant | 04.01.09 - 8:58 am

Hi Adrian,
I'm a 5'3 female, 23 yrs old and weigh 137 pounds currently. Here's my problem, I used to weigh 115 pounds but I looked like 108 pounds because I had more lean muscle on me than fat. my body % has always been low. A year and a half ago I got married moved to a different state and got super depressed. I didn't eat anything I just drank a lot, then I went from 115 to 137!!!! So I moved back home in November (almost 5 months ago) and I have been working my butt off 5 days a week to lose weight and I can't! I've been on a 1400 calorie diet, cut my sugar intake, and only eat complex carbs, protein,veggies, all that. My clothes fit better and people tell me I do look better but no drastic changes and not 1 pound lossed according to every scale I tried. I swear I'm not cheating. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong P.S. I do light weight training, cardio after on the elliptical for 30-45 mn 5 days a wk, and 20 mn hi lo intensity workouts before weight training 3 days a week.

Hey there. I'm 19 years old, I weigh between 175-180 lbs. My body fat percentage is almost 18%. My arms are 12 inches and my stomach is 35 inches.

My goals are to get bigger arms, hard chest and get a thinner stomach/some abs showing. I have some pictures of some of the goals I want from actors. I'd really like to achieve this goal by the end of May if possible. I have two at home workout equipments. One I can do bicep curls, tricep pushdowns, bench press. The other is a thing that I can do chin ups, dips, pushups and pull ups on.

Your weight gainer said that I should eat like 2,600-3,200 calories a day and the weight loss said like 1,700- 1,900 calories a day. If I ate 2,200-2,500 calories a day, would that work?

Here are the links to the pictures of my goals...

Hi Adrian,

I am a 26 yr old female, 5'3" and 125 lbs. I recently purchased calipers and found that my body fat percentage is currently 28%.

I've been doing lots of weight exercises for my arms and abs and see SOME definition but not as much as I'd like.

I'm still in the process of losing weight but I'd like to know at what body fat percentage you can start to see arm and ab muscle definition for a girl.

Thanks,
Julia

NO

Only do abs 1-to-2 times a week and you need to lose bodyfat to truly get good looking abs'

Look at how to lose belly fat and get abs

Can I train my abs according to your videos everyday? Like I choose 2 different exercises each day...is that alright or too much?

And since I haven't had any abs training before, what should I start with? I want to get nice abs like Lori Jones (the athlete) as soon as possible.

Age: 24
Weight: 116 pounds
Height: 5 feet
Waist: 27 inch
Stomach: 32 inch

My goal is to have a perfect body. What I mean by perfect, meaning having abs, a slim waist, a nice S figure, flat stomach, firm butt and thighs...basically a model's body.

I am ready to do anything and everything, basically whatever it takes to get that body. I don't mind going on a no-carbs diet or eating veggies and fruits all the time or becoming vegetarian. You name it and i'll do it, well except taking pills because I want it the natural way.

So I'm ready.

I have lost 60 pounds in 3 months eating 1200 calories and day, drinking water, and exercising on my eliptical like machine. How can I best exercise to reduce the amount of flabby skin that I will have while I continue to lose weight? I need to lose a total of 190 pounds.

DebG | 03.23.09 - 8:53 pm

Vee,

For weight loss - all that matters is 3 things...

1. the quality of the foods you eat (see NowLoss.com/199)

2. How much quality foods you eat - see how much food you need to eat to lose weight and/or...

3. Exercise so...

NO - time of day does not matter but eating 5 times a day is better than 3 big meals

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 6:54 pm

Hello, I have a question regarding the time of day to eat. Does it really matter what time you eat to lose weight? I was wondering if I stay within my caloric intake range but ate my dinner close to bedtime would this slow down my weight loss goals? I have been watching my food intake but ate late last week and noticed I only dropped 1 pound when I know it should have been more!! Do I need to change the time I eat or what? I have heard conflicting statements around this. Thanks in advance!!

Vee | 03.23.09 - 12:39 pm

Both of you have fat in your upper body area that is just stubborn fat that needs to be burned off with the advanced fat loss plan at NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 9:10 am

Sean,

Check out this bicep/arm workout here and...

I haven't posted any chest workouts yet but check out these chest exercises here

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 9:08 am

Hey Adrian, I've been working out for a time, eating well (most of the time, though we all have snack days). But not doing as much aerobic exercise as I'd like. My real problem is my chest and my arms. I feel like I've hit the plateau...I'm going nowhere with them, they've been the same size for weeks now. I'm not one to give up, so I thought I'd seek help from someone who knows...any help you could give would be great!

Sean | 03.22.09 - 9:45 pm

Ann,

Go here for home weight training and...

to reach 160 - I would stick to your current routine for maybe 1-to-2 more weeks but you're going to need to mix in some intervals (see NowLoss.com/i) if you want to reach your goal by april and...

Also make sure you are eating right amount to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 9:06 am

I'm currently 5'8" and 185lbs. I'd like to be below 160lbs by the end of April. I'm currently doing an hour of cardio during the day, but I'm a little lost for weight training. I want to do weight training at home, without machines (although I do have access to quite a lot of free weights). What are your suggestions to reach my goal?

Ann | 03.22.09 - 12:21 pm

Sasha,

Do this emergency diet along with this workout plan but since you not overweight...

You will lose some weight but don't really expect to lose 10 pounds in 6 days - go here to see why

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 9:02 am

Hi Adrian,

I have a photoshoot coming up in 6 days. I am 5ft2.2" and 120 pounds..I need to lose woght fast. Maybe at least 10 pounds.,My ace is very round and my belly is bloated. I would love to lose arouind this areas.Can you suggest something for me please?

Sasha | 03.22.09 - 7:18 am

starr,

Go to NowLoss.com/abs but look at this chair ab workout first and then see if you're able to do any of the other ab exercises at NowLoss.com/abs

Watch the last part of this inner thigh video for sitting down inner thigh workout

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 8:58 am

Hi Adrian,
love your site. I fractured my ankle and had surgery 3 weeks ago and now am very sedentary and on crutches(non-weight bearing on ankle for 6 weeks). Can you recom- mend some exercises that I can do to stay firm while sitting or in a position where I don't have to worry about losing balance and putting weight on bad ankle (core + thighs(esp. inner)are definite problem areas? Thanks!

Hi, Adrian my name is aj and i'm 16yrs old and weigh 248 pounds i started working 2 months ago and already lost 20 pounds but i want to get to 200 pounds in 5-8 months my biggest area is my stomach and i want to get a six pack i have a stationary bike and a weight set that i use so is there any advice?

AJ | 03.21.09 - 4:04 pm

Veronica,

YES - you're doing the protein part correctly.

YES - it's possible for someone of your stats to reach 135 in 4-to-6 weeks and...

Any of the workouts here are good

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.21.09 - 2:29 pm

Hi Adrian -

Love your site! I have never in my entire life ever been able to stick to a sound and structured diet (it's either starvation or eat whatever I want) until I found your site. I am a 27 year old female, 5'2", started at 150.2, currently 145 and am completing your lose 20lbs in 4 weeks emergency diet. I have been sure to eat four times a day and exercise daily, including interval training, softball practice, aerobics and steady state cardio. I recently completed your 15 min circuit training workout (I was literally dripping sweat on the floor, it kicked my butt!). The question that I have is, I am sure to have two of my four meals based on protein powder (along with raw veggies/fruit), but my other two meals I allow to come from other low-fat, high-protein sources such as tuna, egg whites, chicken breast or tilapia (all in 100 cal portions). Do you think this will hinder the results that I achieve on the diet? I have already lost 5 pounds in the last 6 days, the rest I am sure will be more difficult. Do you think it is possible for someone with my stats to achieve a goal of 135lbs at the end of the diet? Also, can you recommend any weight training/circuit training that you think would suit best to someone that is 33% body fat and looking to lose some? I heard that weight training is best for fat loss. Thanks!!!!

Veronica | 03.21.09 - 1:10 am

Darlene,

Go here for ways to speed up weight loss but...

I would either do more days of cardio or better yet...

Go to NowLoss.com/i and do intervals

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.21.09 - 2:27 pm

Hi, Adrian, I am going through menopause and am gaining weight especially around my mid-section. I workout with weights 3 days a week and 3 days I am doing cardio. I am doing the Body for Life plan and eating the right foods.

I have been trying to eat more natural protein (rather than the RTD shakes). It seems like I am not toning at all and my lower abs are not going down at all.

Should I switch diets and do something totally different? Is there anything else that I can do?
I want to lose 20 lbs by August 1st. I weigh 170 now. Help please.

Darlene

JJ Nguyen,

1g of protein = 4 calories
1g of carbs = 4 calories
1g of fat = 9 calories

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.18.09 - 7:56 am

Hey Adrian,

I just need to clear something up. I did that building mass calculator thing you showed me, and it says eat 479-622 calories each of my 6 meals and 41-54 grams of protein per meal; however, if each gram of protein has 9 grams of calories, then 41 grams of protein is 369 grams of calories from protein then. Is that right? If that is right, then I only have 110 calories left to eat carbs and fat? How would that work out? Wouldn't I have to consume 30%-40% of calories from carbs?

I'm just a little confused, haha, or I'm just making it complicated. Please get back to me. I appreciate it!

Thanks

TO make a long answer short...

Just do this emergency diet to get ready for wedding

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.17.09 - 11:05 pm

hi adrian,
so i have been on a diet similar to the south beach but im not losing weight
it is so frustrating. i know it has worked for others, and it was kinda working for me.
i am not sure what to do.
my cousin's wedding is in three weeks i don't want to not go cause i don't fit in the dress.
should i stick with it and maybe tighten my food options and not use so much cheese or dressing in my salads?
should i committe to the strickt standards of chicken and celery and fish and salads?
please, im running out of hope and out of time!
thank you for listening.

I am very thin but i have got a pot belly. I have tried so many exercises but none of those have worked. Would keeping my stomach pulled in all the time help? And for how long would i have to do that to see any results?

jennifer | 03.15.09 - 6:09 pm

JJ Nguyen,

To gain mass - the bottom line is also how many calories you're eating so your meal plan is fine but to gain muscle mass...

You will have to gain some fat so what you need to do is...

Keep the current workout plan you have now for building muscle but...

You need to do this mass gaining diet plan here and YES...

You will gain fat but in the end... You can quickly lose any fat you gained by going to NowLoss.com/15 so basically...

Gain muscle/bulk up first with some fat gain Because truthfully - (you can't gain any significant muscle mass by not eating enough calories to support muscle growth) and then...

Lose fat & get ripped again by burning fat at NowLoss.com/15

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.17.09 - 10:47 am

Hey Adrian,

Thanks for answering my endless amount of questions.
Now I gotta a few more for you. I've been thinking lately, that my body fat is pretty low right now (5'8'', 146lbs, 9% body fat), and now I want to focus on just building muscle mass without gaining fat. As far as workout wise, I know I'm just gonna go heavy now, and throw in a few sets of high reps to keep up my definition; however, as far as eating goes I might need a lot of clearing up from you. I'm still going to be eating six meals a day; however, I will be incorporating carbohydrates in all the first five meals, except for my last one which is just a protein shake at 8pm.

Meal #1 (8:30am): 2 eggs, 3 egg whites, & 1 cup of sugarless steel cut oatmeal.
Snack #1 (11:00am): 30g Protein shake (water and whey), 1 apple, & 1 serving of almonds.
Meal #2 (1:00pm): Lean chicken breast or lean steak, 2 slices of whole grain bread or brown rice or pasta, & salad.
Then I would go workout about an hour after meal #2...so that means I consumed complex carbs before my workout.
Snack #2 (Between 3:30-5:00pm): 30g Protein shake (but this shake is made of fat-free milk), & 2 apples.
Meal #3 (Between 6:00-7:00pm): Lean chicken or lean steak, brown rice, & salad.
Snack #3 (8:30pm): 30g Protein shake (whey and water)

That's my idea of a new meal plan. My questions for you are:

1. What do you think about it? Would you fix anything about it? If yes, then what?
2. I end of having about 200grams of protein in the day; however, I don't know how many grams of carbs I should have in my meal #1, #2, & #3. Can you tell me how many carbs I should consume?
3. My snacks are relatively just protein mixed with some simple carbs, except for the last one; however, what do you think about my snack #2? Is that enough carbs for a post workout meal, or should I add like a slice of whole grain bread?

The bottom line of this is to gain muscle mass with definition, without increasing my body fat. Please tell me if this is good enough or what I have to do extra to make it good. I'm really sorry for making for read all of this and you have no idea how much I appreciate you for doing this. Hope I hear from ya!

Look at this to jump start your weight loss

Adrian Bryant | 03.12.09 - 8:26 pm

I am 24, almost 25 and had a baby 4 months ago, I'm not breastfeeding, I put on 50 pounds during my pregnancy and need to take it off, I've been cutting my calories to between 1200-1500 per day but I find myself going long spans throughout the day without eating, sometimes 4-7 hours, its hard with a full time job and a baby. I've also been doing 40 min of aerobics 3 days per week, I'm not seeing results. I was wondering if replacing breakfast and lunch with a protein shake would help me with snacks in between,or would that be cutting down my calories too low. How many calories is too low for your body to go into survival mode, I'm 5 ft 4 I weight 190 lbs but im a 12-14, I have a lot of muscle, even when I weight 165 lbs, i'm still a size 8 I just want to get back down to 145-150 lbs ans a size 6, any suggestions would be great- do I need to increase my activity, as I have a completely sedentary job or what kind of weightloss pills/supplements can help speed up my metabolism that I don't think exists anymore? please help I'm desperate to get back to the old me uastephanie87@yahoo.com

Just make sure you're using lighter weights when doing the lat pulldowns to prevent your back from getting TOO wide

Adrian Bryant | 03.12.09 - 8:23 pm

I would like to know some exercise to work out the teres major muscle. without making my back wider. I was doing some lat machines and I was told that will make my back bigger and the onlything I want is to tight up my teres major muscle

Glenda | 03.12.09 - 12:51 pm

Jezelle,

You can try my fast weight loss diet along with your current workout routine

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.11.09 - 7:58 pm

Adrian, Thank you for your sight. It's awesome. I really need your help. I am 19, 5'1 and weigh about 124. I want to lose 10 lbs in exactly 4 weeks for a specific day. I want to do it quickly so that I won't get discouraged, but I also want to do it healthy. I'm thinking somewhere in the middle. If I have a set plan, I am able to stick to it. I was wondering if I should start on the lemonade diet for like 5 days to begin with (I have done it for 6 days before) or if I should start off my diet with a soup diet or something so that I can get motivated to keep going with instant results. My plan in my mind would to be workout for 30-60 min in the morning by running 6.0-7.0 mph then at night do a 24 hour class and swim or do like 15 more min of running on top of a class if the class ends up not being as intense as I would hope for. (TBK is intense, yoga.. not so much). My main thing is how many hours a day I should work out, how much intense running (fast) rather than a slower pace so I can slim down a bit-and also just the eating thing. I like to plan exactly what I eat and keep to it. I was wondering what you had in mind for me. Thank you so much. Have a great day!

Jezelle | 03.10.09 - 11:09 pm

Modelchick,

Since you only have 20 pounds to lose - go to NowLoss.com/15 to lose any unwanted fat

Adrian Bryant | 03.10.09 - 3:16 pm

I want to lose around 20 lbs. My shape is kinda hourglass but i seem to be losing inches instead of pounds.I do cardio about 3xs a week and strenght train 2 times a week. I really need to lose my back fat and some belly.What exercises can i do to get these rolls of my back my measurements are 42-34-43 please help me go down a few sizes.

Modelchick | 03.09.09 - 6:54 pm

Cris,

what about exercise? - I take it from what you said you've lost some weight already on the south beach diet and hit a plateau so...

Go here to break out of your weight loss plateau

Adrian Bryant | 03.10.09 - 3:17 pm

I have Hypothyroidism and PCOS. I've been trying the South Beach Diet for some time sticking to it religiously because one of my physicians reccomended it because of my insuln resistance due to the PCOS. It doesn't seem to be working for me like it did a year ago. What would you suggest I try to lose 100 lbs in a year?

Cris | 03.10.09 - 12:20 am

JJ Nguyen,

1. if your main goal is muscle growth you can increase the weights but usually circuits are for fat burning but you can really use the same weights and maintain the size you have now

2. YES - see fast weight loss tip #14

3. I wouldn't neccesarily use circuits as a Bigger muscle building strategy

4. I would - but it's all up to your goals and which muscles you want to work on

Adrian Bryant | 03.10.09 - 5:19 pm

Hey Adrian,

Long time no questions for you. Now I have to pick your mind about some stuff. My workout and diet is going great. I was wondering, when you want to shock your muscles using circuits:
1. Should I increase weights after every circuit set? And if I don't, does it affect my muscle growth?
2. Since I already incorporate 2 or 3+ workouts in the circuit, should I also incorporate like a cardio-like workout to make it even more intense so more fat will be burn?
3. Since circuit is high intensity most of the time so it is aiming for burning fat, is it a good way to build muscle too?

4. When you do circuits or supersets, should you incorporate more than one muscle? (Ex: incline press, dumbell butterfly, pulley rows, alternating wide-grip pullups, & leap frogs)

That's about it. Hope I hear from ya. Take care!

Thanks

Adrian Bryant | 03.08.09 - 11:16 am

Hi. I do not want to lose weight, I want to gain weight and tone up. I am 4'10, 92 lbs. I am pretty proportional for my height. I would like to add more to my lower body, a little bigger hips, firmer butt&thighs, and add more muscle/definition to my legs,calves. Most people look at me and envy my body, but I feel a little too skinny, if you understand what I mean.

Thanks
Penny

Hi Adrian, I have just stumbled across your wonderful website. I am in the process of trying to lose weight again. I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, and trying to diet. My concern is I have lost a significant amount of weight in the past by dieting and exercise, but my stomach is horrible to say the least. Im not sure but I dont think it is only fat but maybe skin???? I was at a point at one time when it looked like my stomach was trying to take some shape but I had all this stomach or skin like just there...is there any hope...I cant afford a tummy tuck...also before it was the bottom part of my stomach that was big...now my upper has overruled and almost makes the bottom look small. Little bit of history on me to help you answer my impossible questions...I had 4 children from the time I was 16yrs old to 21 yrs. had a tubal pregnancy in between those times and got my tubes tide at 21...now I am 41. I am thinking maybe hormones may have something to do with it. Please if you could give me some ideas or a direction to go in it would be greatly appriated. Thank You

Paua,

70% of your problem can probably be solved by losing belly fat and the rest of your problem can be solved by doing Body Sculpting for a sexy midsection here

Adrian Bryant | 03.07.09 - 11:25 pm

Julia,

Truthfully...

At this point the most you can hope for now is 0.5-to-1 pound a week because GOOD NEWS is...

YOU're not OVERweight anymore! and...

Normal weight people lose weight at a slower rate BUT here's some tips to speed it up

*go to NowLoss.com/15
*Go to 30-to-40% protein and/or veggies
*Add more intervals - see nowloss.com/1 but this is all explained at NowLoss.com/15 and...

This should help you get to 0.5-to1.5 pounds a week.

115 pounds will happen! but it's going to take time

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.06.09 - 10:47 am

Hi Adrian,

You've helped me in the past. 26 female, 5'3.5", 128 lbs. Your advice has helped me go down from 145 lbs to my current weight since November. Thanks!

I have hit a plateau. I am losing weight very slowly at this point. Usually around 0.5 lbs a week. It's killing me.

To get to where I am now, I've been eating pretty cleanly (lean protein, whole grains, vegetables and fruits) and exercising 5 times a week at night after work. I was doing 45 min of cardio on the elliptical and stair climber and then weight training 3 or 4 times a week. I've been eating regularly every 3 hours or so.

Now I've dropped off to very slow weight loss. To try and break through the plateau, I've broken up my work out into 2 trips to the gym daily. Once in the morning at 6am to boost my metabolism for 30 minutes on the treadmill or stair climber and then back again around 8pm after work to do another 15-20 minutes of cardio on the bike or stair climber and then weight training 3 nights a week.

I've been doing this for 2 weeks but my weight loss has not picked back up. It's very slow. I thought switching up the machines and adding the morning work out would work.

I think I'm eating around 1400 calories a day but I'm wondering if another calories are coming from protein. Could this be my problem? I'm probably getting about 25% of my calories from protein, if I had to guess.

My goal weight is 115 lbs and I'm so frustrated at the notion of having to wait for this 13 lbs to come off at a rate of 1/2 a lb a week! Should I start adding protein shakes to replace some carb calories?

Thanks for your help!

Hey Adrian, This site is awesome. I am 5'4, 130lb vegetarian. I would like muscles. My measurements are 34-26-39. I have a lot of fat around my hips and thighs. I prefer to workout at home instead of going to a gym and am willing to purchase dumbbells. I have a stationary bike. I want to work on my entire body but I am not sure of a plan to use, and I would like to be able to use my stationary bike. What kind of exercises, sets, and repetitions or how much times a week I should work out in order to see results? How can I get muscles and be able to wear a bikini by May? Can you help me? Thank you for all that you do.

hi,
im 15, male, 5'9 and i weigh 165 pounds. i haven't gone to a gym in about 5 months because of football season. During football season i was fit and looking decent. During football season i used to eat a lot to keep up my weight because i was a lineman. now that football season is over i havent had my regular exercise and i've really been slacking on my activity/exercise rate. But since i wasn't used to the sudden change, i kept eating the same amount of food that i ate during the football season. In less than one month i gained 10 pounds. I was wondering if you could give me tips on how to lose 25 - 35 pounds in less than 3 months and have rock hard abs and a hot beach body. i also was wondering if you knew any tips on how i can build muscle to get faster? my dream was to be a wide reciever but i wasnt fast and skinny enough. i've been picked on all my life about my weight and my self-esteem has dropped really low. any advice will help.

thanks in advance! =]

I could use some tips to lose weight until summer... But I can hardly change my died because I'm not the one cooking, and my mother won't change all her cooking just for one member of the family because she doesn't have time. Although I get tired fast, some tips to build muscle will be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

My biggest advice is that you should take things slower and shoot for less than 3 pounds a week and...

You should eat at least 1200-to-1500 calories a day

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.01.09 - 6:36 pm

Hello,I am 40, weigh 244 lbs. and I'm 5'3". I am marrying a Marine who is getting ready to retire after 20 yrs. in August. I would like to lose as much weight as possible by our wedding in August. Also, I would like to surprise him with a signifcant weight loss when he comes back to states from Japan in June. I have been dieting and exercising for the last month. At first I only exercised about and 1hr. a day and cut back on calories for the first week or so. About 2 wks. ago I started working out 2x a day. I work out about 4hrs. a day and eat about 1,000 calories. I have lost about 15 lbs. for the month of February, but would like to lose about 5 lbs. a week. I don't mind hard work or dieting, but would like to see a greater weight loss for all the hours I am exercising. I am wondering if I'm not eating enough for the amount of activity I am doing?! I do aerobics 2x a day and walk 4-5 miles. Then in the evening I usually do some of your exercises and lifts weights. I really like all of your suggestions and they are very practical. Do you think that you could help me or tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have a little over 3 months to make a difference before my honey gets home. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you so much.

Hi, I am 34, weigh 200 lbs and is 5'3". I have had three babies in the last four years and they were 8.5lbs, 9.5lbs and 10.5lbs at birth. Consequently, I have gained about 70lbs that I can not get rid of. My belly was so stretched out that I have tremendous fat around my midsection. I can literally grab it and twist the extra skin and fat! Can you please tell me if I can rid the fat through diet and exercise?? If so, which plan should I follow? Will pills also help? I have been this way for four years and I am depressed. I really want to be small again. Please help me! Lisa

Hi I'm 33, 220lbs. My boyfriend and recently started talking about getting married, but I made him promise not to propose until I've met my goal of losing 60-80 lbs. That way I have something to work for. I get up in the mornings and I workout on my eliptical machine and I always watch what I eat, but my weight isn't going down. Do you have any suggestions? My original goal was to lost 10 lbs a month, so that by the end of the summer I'd be planning a wedding. Thank you!

Good job!!

What you're doing right now is all you need to do to lose upper body fat because as you lose body fat...

We all lose from different areas at different times as we lose weight so...

Keep doing what you're doing and you'll lose upper body fat

Adrian Bryant | 02.20.09 - 3:36 pm

Hi Adrian, I just wanted to say thanks to your wonderful site full of great motivating info that I have lost 8 lbs recently. But my only problem is that I am losing in my lower body. I need to lose in the upper body the most since that's where most of my weight seems to be. So Can you please give me some ideal what I could do. Especially for the breast area and upper back and abs. I have been working out on a Eliptical for 4 days a week for 40 minutes and burning around 400-415 calories and then 2 days I walk on the treadmill. I also take a total body toning class 2 days a week and I am on weight watchers for my diet. What do I need to do to help this area along more? I appreciate all your help!

Gina B | 02.20.09 - 9:46 am

Kat,

Losing weight along with doing waist/oblique exercises (See NowLoss.com/love will help you reveal your curves and as for salt intake...

If you're eating mostly weight loss foods (See NowLoss.com/199) - then you don't have to worry about salt intake

Adrian Bryant | 02.20.09 - 3:34 pm

What is the daily sodium intake? I know your suppose to decrease salt intake but what is a good margin?
Also, I have a wide/broad back and no waist how do I obtain a curvier body? Is it even possible or am I doomed to no curves even when I lose the weight?

Damsel in distress,

Go here to get rid of cellulite

Adrian Bryant | 02.20.09 - 3:30 pm

Hi Adrian, I am a black woman. I need to remove cellulite from my thighs and tone my thighs without making my butt smaller. Help me please! I don't have any gym equipment or time to go to the gym. Any exercises I can do while sitting in my chair at work would be greatly appreciated.

Damsel in distress | 02.19.09 - 11:49 am

Khel,

are you training to gain muscle?

If so - in the process you will gain a little fat doing so but after you built all the muscle you want...

You can strip away any stubborn fat with this fat loss plan here

Adrian Bryant | 02.20.09 - 3:27 pm

Hi Adrian, I found your site on youtube while searching for flatter abs. I am skinny in nature but I have a noticeably bulging fat on my lower ab which is quite embarassing. Im having a hard time gaining weight because my tummy gets even bigger when I start to eat more, so basically what I want to happen is to gain a little weight then lose fat on my abs. Hope you can shed some light. Thanks

Khel | 02.18.09 - 10:31 pm

Iris,

It's not the protein shakes you need to neccessarily worry about - Just practice doing the body sculpting exercises here for tighter muscles

Adrian Bryant | 02.18.09 - 8:19 pm

Hi, I am 35 years old and since I started dieting and working out I have lost 15 pounds by far. I am happy about that , but on the other hand not that happy because my muscles have gotten softer. Can you please tell me what kind of protein shakes can women drink because I heard that is good for building muscles and if I keep losing weight I do not want to lose my muscle mass if that is how is called. My goal is to lose 20 more pounds plus have tight muscles, thank you.

Iris | 02.18.09 - 7:24 pm

Keys,

What's your weight and height? - The main thing you may need to do is lose overall body fat to get long and lean arms.

Look at the last part of this article here for more on getting lean arms

Adrian Bryant | 02.18.09 - 8:18 pm

I am 32 years old and a beginner at body sculpting. My problem areas are abs and arms. My abs are starting to shape up nicely but my arms seem to be getting bigger. I am predisposed to big arms; I inherited them from both sides of my family. What can I do to get them lean ~n~ long and not big ~n~ too muscular?

marina,

What kind of exercises do you do for abs?

You can try some of the other ab exercises at NowLoss.com/abs to see if you can do those without back pain

Adrian Bryant | 02.18.09 - 8:14 pm

Hi. I have a problem. Anytime I work on my abs, I start to feel lower back pain. It feels more like I'm working out my back rather than my stomach? Is my back weak? I work out pretty often, so I don't see how it could be that week. Please help

Meghan,

Have you tried these 12 tips here to break out of your weight loss plateau?

Adrian Bryant | 02.17.09 - 4:54 pm

Hi Adrian,

I have lost 30 pounds, but still want to lose 15-20 more pounds. I have been at the same weight for about 3-4 months and cannot seem to lose anymore weight. I have tried all of your tips and watched your videos and I still am not losing the weight. I eat about 1400-1500 calories a day, and work everyday, burning between 600-800 calories. I am 5'5, 158 pounds. I started out at 190 lbs. Do you think I should just increase my workouts, maybe burning 1000 calories in each workout? Thank you so much!

thanks

Paul | 02.11.09 - 12:30 pm

tirsa,

what about walking, riding a bike, or the arm bike like in this video?

IN your case - you may have to do longer low intensity 60-to-90 exercises to lose weight while on a diet

Adrian Bryant | 02.11.09 - 7:02 pm

Hi adrian'
My problem; I gain a lot of weight taking large amount of prednisone for eleven months, now I can’t lose the weight because I can workout my asthma is making me crazy. The slow exercises I can find are in the floor and I don’t have flexibility on my right hand, the Dr. Remove 3 bones of my wrist. Diet doesn’t work alone and the metabolism looks stuck, I hate the way I look and I’m really frustrated, what you recommend.

tirsa@charter.net | 02.10.09 - 8:43 pm

Adrian thanks for the advise.
By the way your site is great and I found out that some of my other friends have learned something from it. Thanks )

Alissa | 02.10.09 - 4:18 pm

Erica,

cardio and diet and NowLoss.com has all info on that and...

just contact if have more questions

Adrian Bryant | 02.10.09 - 7:52 pm

i really just want my face to thin out and just to shed body fat all over...is that just cardio

Erica | 02.10.09 - 12:46 pm

gemini4life2002,

It's possible but to get a smaller waist is all about fat loss and usually...

The smaller your waist line gets - the slower you'll lose fat so you may go from 32-to-28 quickly whereas...

It may take twice as long to go from 28-to-25 simply because the less fat you have = the slower you'll lose weight

See how to get a smaller waist for more tips

Adrian Bryant |  02.10.09 - 10:03 am

Hi Adrian cant get enough of your site. I was wondering is it possble to go from a 32" waist to 25" in 10 weeks. I know the butt exercises but I realise that a small waist is essential too. Also are there any products that you recommend along with exercise, to achieve this waist line.

Evie Jo,

If you just want to round and firm out your butt while losing weight - then OK...

Just do 1-to-2 of the exercises here 1-to-2 times a week

Adrian Bryant | 02.10.09 - 10:00 am

My goal is to lose 50 pounds. In losing this weight, I am sure my body will take on a different appearance. I want my round butt back. I am 54 and have been a couch potato for various reasons. But now, I have a function to attend on August 19, 2009 with a bunch of my high school friends and I want to look gorgeous. I am going to use your beginners plan and for the weight loss, but I want to reshape my SQUARE but to found!

Evie Jo | 02.10.09 - 12:41 am

Adrian: Congratulations on providing logical and intelligent approaches to body toning without all the "showbiz" antics that most every other trainer relies upon. Your approach is definitely a "thinking man's way" to success. I wish you every success in your enterprise! James W.(CA)

James Weaver | 02.09.09 - 6:51 pm

Julia,

It's not up to me or any BMI, hegiht-weight charts...

It's up to "Julia" to decide what weight makes her happy and I think deep down - you want to be 115 and to get there...

1st tell me what you did to get to 130 and I can suggest the best plan to get down to 115

Adrian Bryant | 02.09.09 - 5:08 pm

Hi Adrian,

Using your guidance, I've lost 15 lbs since the end of October. I'm currently 130 lbs (5' 3.5" female, 26 yrs old).

I'm wondering what my target weight should be. I'd like to look lean, muscular and skinny. I was thinking around 115 lbs? I tend to be at least fairly muscular, and I have been doing a weight training program 4 days a week.

Thanks!
Julia

Julia | 02.09.09 - 11:19 am

Alissa,

Your diet plan is great and basically you're losing weight by not exactly consciously cutting calories - you're really following these 8 rules eating higher quality foods and...

The easy answer for your limited exercise is to just do intervals to burn more fat in shorter time so...

You can do TWO morning & evening 20-to-45 minute intervals or...

One 30-to-45 minute interval to maximize fat burning in limited time

Adrian Bryant | 02.10.09 - 9:58 am

Thank you Adrian,
Before the New Years i started doing some of the exercises from your site to see what works better and few days ago I started doing them again but if you could give me an advice that would be great..I cant say that i always have the same time schedule but even if i have to wake up earlier i try to make some time in the morning, so normally i have about an hour for exercises.
The reason why i gained weight is that i took hormonal pills for asthma and then had a wrong contraceptive that didn't let my body get back to normal, which i changed only 3 month ago and since then without a lot of effort i lost one and a half size... My diet is not very special cause i never ate much, i just stopped eating junk food and eat more fruits and vegetables..but thats more thinking of my health rather then thinking to loos weight. I did try special diets but that doesnt really work with me and since everything in my blood is in perfect condition my doctor told me not to do any diets. My body type is somewhere between Jlo and Beyonce, there for the hardest parts to loos weight is my hips and tummy...
Im going down in my weight but if there is something you can advise for it to go better Ill be happy.
Thank you so much and thanks for making my confusion go away!

Alissa | 02.09.09 - 6:06 pm

Alissa,

Maybe you didn't do an exercise plan per say but...

Maybe the daily activity you did plus your diet contributed to muscle gain because...

When you gain weight and look better - muscle gain is the main reason.

Maybe your new diet included more lean proteins which maintained your muscle and helped burn more fat and really...

You should consider yourself lucky that all you did was "diet" to LOOK thinner but if you want to...

Tell me your current diet and available exercise time and..

I can suggest something you can do to make the scale go down but...

You're doing just fine if you're looking better

Adrian Bryant | 02.09.09 - 5:06 pm

Hey,
I was wondering...I lost some weight and went down one size, i was 42 and now im 40...everyone is telling me that it shows a lot that a lost some weight..however, in kilos its not just that i didnt loose, i gained around 5 kilos... and it been a month since i became one size smaller and this month i did not have time to exercise, so it can not be muscle weight. Can u please tell me if u know what could be a reason for that?

Alissa | 02.09.09 - 5:06 am

Tiffany,

What you're doing right now is fine - just focus on losing weight first and then...

You can get a perfect body with body sculpting

Adrian Bryant | 02.08.09 - 12:31 pm

Thanks so much for this website. I'm not sure you are aware of how much you are helping people.

I'm 5'5 and weight 160 pounds but want to lose 40 pounds.

I want the hourglass figure of britney spears and beyonce.

Including diet I was just wondering if this was a good exercise program:

5 days a week in the morning doing tae-bo with resistance bands for an hour and then in the evening doing pilates.

Questions:

If I'm using bands 5 days a week do i still need to tone my body using any weight training/ scultping exercise or is that enough?

Should I do any ab exercise (and if so how many days a week) or any other additional/other exercises for that matter?

And how long till i see any results or definition in my stomach, arms or thighs since those are my problem areas?

Thanks, Tiffany

You'll need this weight loss plan to lose your stubborn arm & thigh fat

Adrian Bryant | 02.08.09 - 12:28 pm

Hey Adrian,
First off I would like to say that I enjoy your site and all the information it provides. I could see that you have helped many people and I thought that I could maybe give it a try. I am 18 years old, 5'2, and 125 pounds. I play basketball about 2 times a week. I really have a problem with my thighs and flabby arms. Every time I try to focus on these problem areas, they don't lose much fat, but they get muscular and I bulk up, which just makes my thighs look even bigger than before. I really really really want to slim down my thunder thighs and flabby arms WITHOUT ANY BULKING UP. I have struggled with my thick thighs for all of my teenage years so far..I just can't take it anymore. I want to be able to look hot in short-shorts and at the beach...but I do not want to bulk up my legs. Under the fat..they are already quite muscular. So my question is how can I make my thick thighs and flabby arms thinner without bulking up or making my butt flat or decreasing the size of my breasts? Please Help Me!

christine | 02.07.09 - 2:17 pm

Crystal,

How much milk you do or don't drink should not be a concern of yours when trying to lose 50 pounds - focus more on how much you eat, the quality of the foods you eat and exercise

Adrian Bryant | 02.08.09 - 12:26 pm

Hey Adrian,
I couldn't find your page concerning drinks...

Anywho, my mom bought me the 1% milk, and I noticed that each serving (236 mL) has 160 mg of sodium. Is that too much? If it is decent enough for the 50 lb diet, about how many cups should I be drinking per day?

Crystal | 02.07.09 - 1:17 pm

#2- try riding a bike or using an elliptical (which places no shock on knees) until knee gets better

Adrian,

You work on your inner thighs here and get triceps and biceps here but...

I would focus on losing 40 pounds first

Adrian Bryant | 02.06.09 - 6:17 pm

Hi Adrian. I was hoping you could help me create a plan that would help me shed wieght 40 lbs and tone my lower half. I was in a car accident 2 years ago, which left me with back and severe knee injuries, so doing lunges is very difficult for me, since my knees are weak. I need to tone and shape my inner/outer thighs, quads and also get rid of what I call my "shelf" on my butt. I own a Bowflex Treadclimber and have been using that for 35 minutes a day. Should I be doing anything special (ie intervals, etc.) on the treadclimber. Also, I would like to get toned triceps and biceps, quick! Any help you can provide would be appreciated!! Thank you for your time.

Hi Adrian, I'm 25 yrs old, 5'6, 130 lbs with 11% body fat (according to those tanita scale), been going to gym for about 5 yrs. My butts have been flatsville probably forever, just wandering, how do i get them big? I thought by exercising, it will get more toned = smaller because less fat/more muscle in that area? Any advice? How long til I can see improvement in size? Any change in nutrition? Thank you.

Hey Adrian,

I was wondering, what is the fastest ways to loose fat in tummy?

also, my legs are fat, same goes with hips, what are the ways to make fat loss from these parts?

also, how much should I work out in the gym? everyday?

and is there specific foods to help muscles grow?

thanks in advance
