Julep asked:


My question is on a few different levels. Please feel free to be longwinded because I really want to learn about this.

I’ve been losing weight over the last 2 months on diet alone. I’ve lost about 12 pounds this way. I understand how this works - you can lose weight by reducing caloric intake and changing the types of foods you eat.

What I want to understand is how exercise makes you lose weight. I have the beginnnings of understanding on this - that you’re burning calories with the exercise…like if you eat 1400 calories in a day and you burn 300 then your body only thinks you have eaten 1100, right?

But then how do all those old calories come off? The ones from three months ago that made me gain weight?

On the same vein, if i’ve only been losing weight with diet (steadily), and then i have one really good workout, when will it be reflected in my weight? I’m not saying I expect to lose all my weight with one workout, I’m trying to simplify the question.

I’m 14 years old 5′1” and 145 pounds. I’m trying to find ways to lose weight being a vegetarian. Almost everything I look at ( what your supposed to eat, recipes etc.) says to eat meat/fish at least once a day for protein to help you lose weight. Can someone please give me things to eat everyday being a vegetarian and exercises to do to help me lose weight?

Cynda32 asked:


I want to lose about 30-40lbs but I don’t want to do a restricting diet only to gain the weight back as soon as I reach my goal weight and stop dieting. Right now I eat between 1700-2100 calories per day and I use the elliptical machine for 35 minutes daily. For fluid intake, I am only drinking water. Can I still lose weight this way?

Harmony asked:


Id like to reach my goal weight. I’ve been known to lose weight really fast and work hard for it but everytime I start to lose it I notice that I lose my breasts! For the most part….So I gained some weight back and I don’t like it and want to lose it but I have my old bust back!

Any way I can lose the weight and keep my boobs lol?

mr.myself(-_-) asked:


Hi, I’m 17 and I’ve been trying to lose weight since last month, but I was wondering, how can I lose my excess weight fast? And about the water weight, where does this come from, how will I know if I have water weight, and how can I lose it? There’s one thing I don’t understand, If drinking a lot of water helps you lose weight, then what is water weight? Can I have this water weight by simply drinking water?

Orange Juice asked:

Llama Power asked:


I’m planning on doing an hour and a half workout 3 times a week, eat healthier/less, for two months. My goal is to lose 15 pounds in that two months. However, its been a week since, and I’ve been losing 2 pounds, then after eating lunch or dinner, gaining that 2 pounds back. I feel like I’ll never be able to lose weight!! Is it even possible to lose 15 pounds in two months?

I have 2 kids, I’m 30 and I can’t get back to my natural weight. All I want to do is lose 30 pounds. What is the best way, other than watching what I eat and excerise lol…….Is there a pill?
I only eat maybe 2-3 times a day ……I’m not gaining anymore, I’m stuck at one weight. I don’t snack.
