Posts Tagged ‘fast food’

I am trying to lose ten lbs and lately I’ve been walking after dinner at night. Usually 6 miles total. 3 miles and then 3 miles back. I stopped drinking soda and going to fast food places too. I am trying to drink more water, although it’s hard to get back into that routine but I’m not doing too bad. I’ve seen a little bit of a weight loss like around my jaw area and near my shoulders but nothing too drastic right now. How long will I start shedding more weight? Thanks

I have gained a lot of weight recently, due to working and taking night classes; thus not having time to exercises and eating fast food AND eating late every night. And…

* I have not gotten my period in 4 months.

* I feel like I have "hot flashes" because at random points I get very hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable (even when I am just sitting down).

* One of my breasts is extremely tender and hurts at the slightest pressure exerted on it (i.e. adjusting my bra, hugging someone, sleeping on my left side)

* I have been exercising A LOT and eating healthy for a couple of months now and still have not lost a SINGLE pound.

I am an 18 year old working student. I am not pregnant, I am not on birth control (or any other medication for that matter), and I am not sexually active.

I am very concerned about all of this.

Any help with these issues, including how they could be related would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I do not have health insurance, so I appreciate that people believe that I should go to the gynecologist but please bear in mind that I simply cannot at this time..

Thank you very much in advance.

I started working out at the gym about a month ago. Prior to that I had no workout routine. I’m 5’2.5" and weigh 145lbs. So I went from no excercise to working out at least 4 times a week, for about an hour to an hour and a half each time. I use the treadmill at an incline, and two different eliptical machines. I know my heart rate is raised; I work up a good sweat by the time I leave! I don’t eat fast food, no chips, cookies or candy. I know my calorie intake for the day is about 1500 or less. Well, after a month I still haven’t seen any weight loss. I know it takes time but how long before I see even a couple pounds drop?!

I am 6’3, 196lbs, and have trimmed down from 250lbs since January of this year. I have achieved this by eating healthier, cutting out fast food from my diet, eating high fiber enriched foods, and almost eliminating saturated and mono fat. When I do consume fat it is offset by almost triple the amount of protein (IE 3g fat to 9g protein) and food takes longer to digest. The primary reason for my healthier lifestyle was to help gain better conrol of my Type I diabetes. The problem I am stumbling on is my caloric intake is probably around 2000-2500 per day. I eat every 2 hours totaling 6 or more times per day with a strict diet of whole grains fruits and vegetables.

My focus is that I need to stop losing weight and keep it level around 200lbs. I am wondering what recommendations you folks have for dieting and getting my calories up to around 3000 per day without increasing my fat consumption? Recipes, food suggestions, wbsites, or general information are all welcome and appreciated.

I hate vegetables, fish, and most fruits. I usually eat fast food because I dont have alot of money to buy alot of foods for popular diets..what can I do diet wise that is cheap, easy to follow and doesnt contain alot of vegetables or fish?

I’m not talking about a case of anorexia or anything like that. I have lost a lot of weight over the year. I am still in the overweight category though. I need to lose about 15 more pounds to be at a healthy weight. Anyway, my mother is like the weight loss villain. She tells me not to exercise too much and to eat more! I eat toast and cereal for breakfast. For dinner, I have a 250 cal six inch sub from Subway. All I like to drink is water. I eat very healthy, but she tries to ruin it. A month or so ago, she pretty much nagged me to death to drink orange juice with my breakfast. So, I reluctantly started doing that, because she kept going at it! I absolutely hate the taste, but until now I just drank it so she would shut up. I noticed, I gained two pounds from it! That’s when I weighed myself two weeks after started. I haven’t weighed myself recently, because I’m scared I gained more! I’m not going to drink orange juice anymore. I don’t care if she nags! Every time I look tired she’s like "You’re hungry..you should have something to eat." even if I just got done eating! I’ll say "How do you know I’m hungry huh? Stop it!" It’s my life and I want to be healthy! I can only drink water if I want. I’m also going to cut out cereal now and I’m going to add another half hour to running each day. I can’t stand this. She’s trying to make me unhealthy, just like her! All she eats is junk like fast food and pop. It’s disgusting and I refuse to end up like her. I have no one to motivate me except myself. You know, I wish my mom would actually care about my health, but she would rather she me die from heart disease I guess, right? :( Or maybe her hope is that when I’m her age, I will start breathing hard from just walking slow in the mall. Sorry, I just feel so angry right now.

Can anyone else relate? Can you help me out too? :(
By the way, I’m a 16 year old girl who weighs 156 pounds at 5’4. :( She makes me drink SIMPLY orange juice. She kept claiming it was so healthy, and I would respond "No…it has sugar and a bunch of calories!" She’s so stupid and would say "sugar has no calories"…and "Simply orange juice doesn’t have any sugar..it’s natural" She just tricks me! Isn’t that what she’s doing? She’s absolutely tricking me telling me the juice is healthy with "vitamins" and that it will improve my health! I finally blew up today and decided to never listen to her ever again. How would she know anyway? She’s obese for Pete’s sake. I guess I just listened to her, because she’s my mom. Mother’s are suppose to take care of their children, not do the opposite!
