Advice on weight loss!?
Please help me! i need to lose weight! i was so healthy then i became unhealthy because... grr food. i want to go back to my old weight, which i had 6 months ago (not the weight when i was 80 pounds cuz thats just scary.) and that means i have to lose about 25 pounds. i was hoping to be in shape by school time.. september 4th. so i need exercises (that do not involve running/jogging or going to a gym since i have limited times) that will tone my abs, thighs, arms, yeah just my body overall (like get rid of fat though not make body builder muscles lol) and a diet like a specific one please. also, i heard cardio was good for losing weight... what are cardio exercises? can i have like a whole list of them?
Okay... so this is what i need--1) specific diet to go on
2) exercises that don't involve running, jogging or going to a gym
3) a whole big list of cardio exercises
and how long approx. will it take to lose 25 pounds?
2 weeks ago
oh, and thanks for your time and answers!
Answers:
Here's my briefest answer:
1) Cut 1,000 calories from your daily requirements to lose 2 pounds a week. (calculate your calorie requirements at a website--google search). So to lose 25 pounds it will take you ~12.5 weeks. Sometimes it's just easier to watch your caloric intake than to go on a specific, boring diet.
2) Try dancing or biking as good cardio workouts, but running is the quickest calorie-burner. And getting into the habit of running is a good lifetime goal.
3) Any activity that raises your heart rate for at least 20 mintues can be considered cardio.
