Got over 200 lbs to lose, want them gone yesterday! Any suggestions on the fastest route?

[impactz]

well. believe in yourself. :]

personally, for me, I think of my 2 year old daughter. I think "I want to be alive for her, I don't want to develop diabetes or high blood pressure. I want to run in the park with her without getting winded and having sweat drip down my face (gross, I know)."

Just think of something that gives you will power...that's my advice.

starting some crazy diet may by difficult so just start slow and ease into the weight loss by only drinking water instead of soft drinks.

Diet quick fixes are never the answer. The best bet is to eat sensibly and exercise regularly. I know you want to get rid of the pounds right away, but if you want to keep it off, you need to do it the right way even if that means it takes a bit longer.

Keep working at it. Nothing comes easy, especially losing weight. You just have to get into a good routine and stick with it:-)

Thought about weight loss drugs to get a kick start?

the best way I have found for true and LASTING weightloss has been diet and (most importantly) exercise. Don't overlook strength training. Muscle burns more calories than fat and will continue to burn calories even after you have sat on the couch. Don't forget about supplements, there is good discussion on this site about them, just don't rely on them and only them (they work best when used in combination with diet and exercise) . Good luck. I remember being at the begginning of my journey. You have a lot of hard work a head of you, but it is soooooo worth it!

You should be proud of yourself. You have the desire. Why? You should know that. Think in small goals in shorter time frames. How much weight is healthy to lose by the end of the month? Maybe that's a goal. How many times are you going to exercise this week and for how long? That's a goal.

Also eat 6 smaller healthy meals/snacks today 3 hours apart instead of major meals 2-3 times. And don't eat 2 hours before bed.

I like to write my goals down and have someone help hold me accountable. Maybe a roommate, significant other, work out buddy, etc.

You can do it. Remember...you don't fall off a wagon. People who think that way give themselves an excuse to go back to thier old ways. You are living moment to moment and making choices. Choose wisely. That apple over the cheesecake...you know.

Tip #1 : Be selective in your eating. Some food additives, like spices, can help fasten your metabolism by creating a thermodynamic burn that has been proved to last several hours after you eat.

Tip #2: Be time curious. Most of your calories should come very early in the day. You meals should contain less amount of calories as the day goes on. Make sure you eat little or nothing at all after you dinner. But make sure you don’t skip meals. Eat at least 4-6 small meals each day rather than the normal 3 big meals.

Tip #3 : Eat enough. The biggest mistake dieters make is trying to eat far lesser than their body needs. If you don’t give your body the proper amount of calories, your body gets into a false survival mode ( this can also be call starvation mode). When your body gets into the survival mode it reserve or conserves energy in preparation for a possible long starvation period.

On the opposite side of this, eating far to many calories will make the body store or save the excess which it does not need as fat. You need lots of exercising so as to burn more fat than your body stores. Therefore, moderation is the key when it comes to calorie intake.

Tip #4: Learn to increase your daily activities. If you must prevent fat storage and burn the excess fat that you might be carry in your body, you must increase your daily activities in terms of exercise.

This must include endurance and cardiovascular training. The key is, the more calories you burn, the more your chances of losing weight. Very simple. A little increase in lean muscle mass in turn results to serious increase in fat burning.

You must also try to exercise first thing in the morning after your morning prayers. Research shows you can dramatically enhance your fat burning ability if you exercise regularly in the morning after the night rest.

Tip #5 : Make sure you do weight lifting before engaging in any cardiovascular work. The only exception of course is to perform 5 - 10 minutes of cardio before your weight training in order to warm up your muscles.

This aspect is very important due largely to the fact that your body needs lots of energy in your muscles before weight training can take place. By the time you finish your weight training session you must have used up all the prefered energy sources.

This simply implies that you will be burning more fat cells during your cardio sessions.

But in the reverse of the above you will only be burning your carbohydrate sources of energy during cardiovascular sessions. No fat cell or cell is or are burnt or used up for energy in this situation and you will not have enough energy in your muscles, which are needed in order to get the best out of your weight training.

importantly, you will not increase your lean muscle, which is an unavoidable part if you must lose weight.

Tip # 6 : Change your exercise routine regularly. You must learn to change your exercise routine at least every 2-3 weeks. This could be a change in the number of reps or sets per exercise. It is the exercise order your perform and the exercises themselves.

Doing the same thing over and over again for a long period will make your body adapt and start to get use to what you do regularly and will eventually take it as normal and stop making changes. This also means you will stop adding more lean muscles.

One thing you must know is that the more muscles you have the more you burn calories, even when sleeping.

Tip # 7: Your Meal compositions or combinations. Always eat protein/carbohydrate meals in the morning. Eat protein/ fat combination meals ( this means lesser or no carbohydrates) late in the afternoon or evening.

The only exception is if you normally exercise in the evening. Then your first meal after your workout should consist of protein and carbohydrates.

Don’t make the mistake of eating carbohydrate and fat together in the same meal.

These 7 weight loss tips will help fasten or speed up your metabolism and burn excess and unwanted fat at a much faster rate.

Try these fast weight loss tips out for a while and you’ll notice a difference after a couple of weeks.

There is no fast way to loosing weight hun, if you loose it too quickly you will just pile it all straight back on once you start to eat normally again. Just try to eat a healthy balanced diet and exercise
