Answer 1

I dont think that you are fat. I think its because you are tall so i wouldn't worry about it.  

Answer 2

i am very skinny and i dance allot...have water with you and just dance around with out stopping for a long time that will make your metabolism a little bit faster and just stay busy

do cardio exersises throughout the day like running, jumping, waving your arms around, even stretching...take it one step at a time though

and make sure whenever you eat that you know that you are eating...you might eat healthy meals every day but you have little snacks that you don't even remember that you ate (like me)

(remember that the little things count, even with food)

Answer 3

When you find the answer let me know cuz this is a question I wanted to ask myself. One thing I am going to do is ask my doctor for something to help me loose weight. Also if you take medication some of the side effects are weight gain

Answer 4

You might be overeating...? You know how pppl get hungry after they work out....Make sure u eat something light before working out.

Answer 5

get off a low carb diet cuz you lose a couple of pounds but you gain it right back fast. easiest way is first thing in the morning dont eat just go do an 140 minutes of cardio. running, fast paced walking and my personal favorite elptical. go on a diet that is 1800 calories 20 grams of fat per day. no more then 20 grams of carbs and 30 grams of protein in each meal. it works its effective and your going to love me in 6 weeks

It is a time-honored tradition to make resolutions at this time of year. If your resolution is to lose weight - and keep it off, then keep reading! Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way.

1. Lose weight with water.

Water is essential for everybody - it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven't been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight.

By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store water. Drink at least 60 ounces of water (about 8 glasses) a day. Boil water and sliced lemons, and drink this throughout the day to help with fluid retention. If you are still not sold on the merits of water, try this on for size: water is a natural appetite suppressant.

2. Soup up your weight loss program.

A simple dietary change will have you shedding pounds: eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Nutritious, low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a serving of soup daily lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don't eat soup. Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals.

3. Eat early to keep weight off.

The human body follows a circadian rhythm, which means that the same foods eaten at breakfast and lunch are processed differently than when eaten at dinner. Studies show that when you eat your daily protein and fat at breakfast you tend to lose weight and have more energy; however, eating the same things at dinner tend to increase tendencies toward weight gain. I suggest that you eat your last meal of the day by 7 p.m.

4. Eat smaller meals, more frequently.

Follow an eating schedule with five little meals every day. Eating steadily through the day keeps you from becoming famished and overeating at your next meal. Make a low-fat trail mix from raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried plum, and apples and have it available at all times to avoid the tempting lure of high-calorie snacks.

5. Adopt a balanced approach to your diet.

Most of the fad diet programs out there nowadays are extreme in a few recommended foods, or else deprive the body of food altogether. This works in opposition to our metabolism and the results usually don't last, producing a yoyo effect that depresses your metabolic function - not to mention your self-esteem. We are natural beings that need a balance of nutrition from all sources.

Your diet should consist of a balance of organic sources of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of white rice and pasta, opt for brown rice, bulgur, millet, or buckwheat.

Eat more green, chlorophyll-rich foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and asparagus. Eliminate candy, sugar, soda, and all simple sugars from your diet. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your body, which results in weight gain. Also, keep dairy to a minimum because most dairy products are high in saturated fat. Avoid fatty foods, processed or fried foods.

6. Walk off the weight.

The No. 1 cause of weight gain is inactivity. Physical activity is the key to speeding up your metabolism and burning excess calories. The best way to be physically active is to use your legs! Walk as often and as long as you can. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Step outside during your break at work and take a walk around your building. Consider joining a local hiking club. Try taking a walk 30 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes in the early evening.

May you live long, live strong, and live happy!

Answer 7

if you're trying to lose weight you should really give Acai Berry a shot! i saw it on oprah and i'm trying it myself right now.. got a 14-day FREE trial from this site!

Answer 8

Are you doing any strength training (weights) for your exercises. You can just use dumbbells for this, I know you don't want to use equipment but they are cheap, don't take up any room and you can do them anywhere.

I ask this because we need muscle in order to burn fat efficiently. Muscle is a very active tissue, so burns fat even while resting. Every pound of muscle you have will burn 50 extra calories per day.

If you burn more calories than you take in (achieved through a healthy eating plan), build up muscle through strength training and complete 30 minutes of solid cardio a day then weight loss is a certainty.

Check out the website below for some free dumbbell exercises that work the whole body.

Good luck and all the best with your weight loss goals
