I recently went to a dance convention and was dancing 8 hours a day for 8 days in a row. I worked out really hard while I was there and ate fewer calories (within my 1200-1500 calorie range instead of over it – that’s what I’ve been told to eat for weight loss, not weight maintenance) and ate healthier foods (more fruits and veggies). I was hoping to lose at least 2 pounds. I haven’t lost a thing. Presently, I’m at 163.2 – my heaviest (I’m 5’6"). It’s so frustrating! It seems like the harder I try to lose, the more weight I gain. And my fiancee has been working out every other day for half an hour and has lost 10 pounds in a month. I work out almost every day for half an hour in the morning and teach dance for 4 hours in the evening 4 days a week and sometimes do an hour or more of DDR in the evenings and I GAIN weight. It’s so unfair. I’m so frustrated!
Oh, and I’m a vegetarian, so I’m not eating greasy burgers, etc. I’m also not in starvation mode (I’m a former anorexic, I know).

I eat 3 meals a day but I eat A LOT of fruit instead of snacks. I pick at apples, bananas, grapes and other fruits all day long. Can this simply help me lose weight? What is fruit helps the weight loss process?

i need to loss at least 10lbs. i’m 37yrs, 5ft. 130lbs i have been contanstly exercising ( running, race walking ) everyday for 3 months now. i have also lessen my portions in my meals and cut off rice. I have fruits for lunch. i’m taking l-carnitine ( 500mg ) and green tea tablets to help my weight loss but i still haven;t lost any weight. my tummy is still bulky. i haven’t seen any difference.pls help me, i’m desperate. i only want to feel good even if i do not loss the entire goal, at least this time i should have at least seen or felt a slight changes in my efforts of exercising and healthy eating.

Typically help speed up weight loss as opposed to other fruits or veggies…
Low carb is preferred!!

I have a fairly long long trail going all the way around my city. I love to bike as well. I was wondering if i biked around 14-16 mph for about 70 minutes every morning for a month or so would i see some weight loss or toning? I would also be eating like 1800 calories a day. You know, fruits, soup, etc. I would also be getting about 9 hours of sleep a night, walk my dog for about 25 minutes a day too.

Ok so I want to lose weight, plain and simple. I’ve done the research and I know what to do so thus, I have come up with my own weight loss plan and would like some opinions on it. Here it is:

First off, I am an 18 year old male, about 5’8" and roughly 190 lbs. I have lowered my daily calorie intake to roughly 1500 with a diet consisting mainly of salads, fruits, grilled chicken with small healthy snacks dispersed throughout the day. I would only drink water and green tea. So all in all, I would be eating every four or so hours (to keep the metabolism going).

I would also be working out every day for about an hour performing about 30 mins of eliptical aerobics and about 30 mins of a full body workout. (My goal here is to tone, not really body build.)

My only concern with my plan is the daily calorie intake. Is it too low? I figured that 1500 from food minus about 500 from working out would only give me a net of 1000, roughly. My goal is to get to 170 lbs, at least, in two months.
But the weird thing is, even though the calorie in take is pretty low, I don’t feel as hungry as I thought I would be…

But ok. If I increase the daily calorie intake to 2000, roughly, would I still be losing weight and toning my body fairly well? I would like to lose at least TWO pounds a week.
