Person A has a weight loss goal of at least forty pounds to drop him into the 140-150 pound range. On Monday, he wants to start on a structured diet program (weight watchers, etc). He will not eat treats, and he will only drink diet soda and water. He has lost weight on these diet programs before without exercise, so he is not stressing over fitness at this point.

Person B wants to loose somewhere between 40 and 60 pounds in order to weigh closer to 120 pounds. She is aiming towards the 60 pound or greater point, but she is not trying to weigh much less than 120 pounds. She has tried going on diets, but finds the structured diets are hard to stick to. On Monday, she is going to stop drinking sodas and Slurpees and keep her mug filled with water at all times. The following Monday, she will start playing her Wii Sports and wearing her pedometer. The Monday after she will start increasing her vegetable intake. Each week, she will add something new. The week after the vegetables, she may start to keep track of steps on her pedometer, or add mild jogging into her walks.

Who is most likely to succeed?

Person A: A male with a smaller weight loss goal who has successfully lost weight before. Has only goal to loose weight.

Person B: A female with a larger weight loss goal who is making very small changes instead of going at weight loss full-force. Has never successfully lost a large amount of weight. Goals include dropping clothing sizes, running one full mile (can barely run now), and touching toes when bent over.

Who is most likely to be successful? Who will loose the weight first? Who will keep it off longer? When both reach their goals, who will most likely be healthier and in better shape?

What are the positives and negatives to their plans?

How many pounds does it take for weight loss to be visible?

Anonymous asked:


So let’s say that someone is short (around 5′2″), someone else is taller (mediumish), and the last person is tallest (6′0″).

If they all weigh the same, how many pounds of weight would it take to make the weight loss visible?

What other factors should be considered?

Scott asked:


I recently lost 50+ pounds by eating healthy, drinking only water, and jogging 5 times per week. I have gained back 20 pounds of the weight I lost and not very motivated to continue to eat healthy or workout as often. I am afraid I will return to my old weight. Please help. Thanks!

I gained weight while working out. According to others, it’s because of the muscle mass I’m gaining. I’m on a weight loss program. Will I eventually lose weight and become thinner?

Anyone know of an insulin designed to assist with weight loss?

Stephen J asked:


I remember going to my endocrynologist & hearing him say there were a couple of insulin-like-alternatives for type 1 diabetetics available that proved to assist with weight loss. Does anybody take any of these, or does anybody know of any. I’m a 19-yr old type 1 diabetetic looking for insulin-alternative daily injection to be taken WITH my regular insulin.
P.S. I know “Regular excercise & healthy eating” help the most, but that’s not what I’m asking about.

How do I get past this weight loss plateau?

asked:


I lost 15lbs over the course of the last 3 months averagin 1-1 1/2 lbs lost. I am 5′5″ and I am now down to 142 lbs. I still want to lose another 15 lbs (is this okay?).
I have tried eating whatever I want to jumpstart my weight loss but that did not work. Currently I am on a semi-low-carb diet. I have to have some carbs because I get too dizzy. I also work out 3-4 times a week. Cardio for 1/2 hr and then strenghening exercises.
How can I get past this weight loss?
The scale hasn’t budged from 142lbs in 3 weeks.

victoria s asked:


Who is for and who is against weight loss pills? I`m doing some sort of a survey among you people so I can decide whether I will take some weight loss pills in order to lose almost 30 pounds or not. If you don`t agree to weight loss drugs, what else besides eating vegetables do you suggest?

I just started the weight watcher’s point system and flex points, and I was wondering when I might see weight loss.
Sorry, I meant see instead of still.
