Me and my friend wanna get in shape, like lose weight and get muscles =) any one!

If your serious all you gotta do is start by running do a mile and after a couple weeks move up to 2 miles...stop drinking soda n eating chips...AFTER u lose the weight you want to lose get on here and ask how to get muscles..it's easier to lose pounds of fast then muscle...

I tried to lose weight n gain muscle at the same time so I gained the muscle but still look the same ...I'm stronger but do not look muscular so now I'm just running and doing cardio but I'm having a hard time losing weight because it's muscle

Think of it this way: "x" is the amount of calories you consume, "y" is what you burn. Only if x is less than y will you lose weight. It's simple math.

There is a correct way and a wrong way to lose weight. When you consume too few calories per day, your body thinks that it's facing a famine and it slows the metabolism, so that weight loss is more difficult. This ability has helped man survive for as long as we did. Although food is plentiful today, that feature has not changed.

Therefore, the right way to lose weight is to cut a few hundred calories per day and exercise. Doing one without the other leads to slow progress. Consume whole grains (100% whole wheat bread; plain "wheat" bread is not the real thing) and more fruits and vegetables. Exercise need not be intense; twenty minutes of brisk walking a day, three times a week will suffice. Keep to this plan and the weight will come off slowly but surely. Cutting 500 calories per day and exercising would lead to losing at least one pound per week. In addition, exercise helps speeds up the metabolism, eventually leading to quicker weight loss. But it won't happen overnight.

Although you may want to diet, but a lot of diets require you to restrict yourself to certain foods or keep a very low calorie intake, which is why many diets fail. You could eventually lose weight by starving yourself, but not without hunger pangs, fatigue and possible blackouts. You may not want to wait, but in the long run, losing weight the correct way is actually faster than starving yourself.

Furthermore, other weight loss plans require that you spend money on expensive meal plans or pills, etc. in conjunction with exercising on your own. While the exercise is free either way, why spend you money on unnecessary things? You can simply do a brisk 20 minute walk through the neighborhood (at least three days a week) and eat healthier for about the same cost as what you spend on groceries already.

Finally, throw fatty snacks out of the house. Chips or cookies will not hurt you every now and then, but why have the temptation? Replace them with fresh fruits that can be eaten by hand, such as apples and bananas. In addition, only drink water, milk, and 100% fruit juices. When you're out at the mall, avoid buying a quick snack. Don't take a lot of money with you, just in case.

To gain muscle, you need to strength train. You might bulk up a little just through cardiovascular exercise, but if you want to strength train separately, do calisthenics (push-ups, crunches, etc.).

I cross-referenced various sites and readings.

ohhhhh. i see your problem :). this girl at my school, hardly eats anything, but she is NOT skinny, its cuz, you need food to LOSE weight and SPEED up your metabolism. its true. combine this with an hour of exercise and your good! heres a plan, that you need to follow, with some exercise.
breakfast: bowl of fiber 1 and milk, with banana. snack: low fat yogurt lunch: snadwich, fat free milk, ww crackers. snack : a handful of nuts dinner: chicken, sweet potato and salad, or ww pasta, red sauce, and asparagus, or the options are endless, just include: PROTEIN, starch, green combine with exercise and your good to go. if this does not do ANYTHING in a week, cut out the nuts and starch at dinner. but im pretty positive it should work.

Running works nearly every muscle in your body. If you run regularly (half hour a day), the weight will come off pretty quickly. However, eating healthier and making sure you don't skip exercise and get lazy will be essential too!

Follow this running program:
