Mrs. Nikki Sep(The One and Only) asked:


I was wondering if anyone knew what an average weight loss per week is. I started eating healthy last week at around 1200 calories *because I wasn’t yet working out* and lost 4 pounds. Now, I’ve started eating around 1600 calories because I’m alternating with aerobics and pilates and I have already lost 2 more pounds. I want the weight that I lose to stay off *just had a baby and had a few extra pounds after getting married!* What do doctors recommend losing, and if I’m losing too much, should I add more calories or willthe weight loss taper off after a few weeks?

sweetie_pie1618 asked:


I have had this disease for about 10 years now. Before I was diagnosed, I was only 9, I gained a lot of weight. But even after being treated for it I still have the weight on. I exercise, eat well but nothing is working. I also seem to still be suffering from symptoms, like dry skin, and sensitivity to temperature. Plus the weight gain. I can lose some weight, but I cannot maintain the weight loss.

Any advice?
I was recently tested for my medication levels, everything came out normal.

What is the average amount of weight loss per month for someone who hires a personal trainer for 4 days a week and has a meal plan made for them by the trainer? Just curious as to what the average person would lose in a month doing this.
Also curious as to losing inches, Do you lose more inches than weight? When working with a trainer
what is cheating?

I have been power walking a mile using 2 pound weights, and I have incorporated some kicking, and knee lifts while doing the mile, but I have recently gotten an exercise bike and have been doing a few miles on that. My question is which exercise is more effective for long-term weight loss, and toning?

lookinforexcitement asked:


I’ve been working out consistently for about a year, but my weight loss has been really slow. I’ve only lost about 15-18lbs. I’ve also changed my diet and started eating a lot healthier. I haven’t been intaking much protein and I believe that is a reason why my weight loss has been slow. How much protein should I take to speed up my weight loss? Are there any recipes, shakes or vitamins I should be taking?
I workout at least 3-4x a week. On average I’m at the gym for 1hr. - 1.5hrs. I’ve been attending the RPM & Body Pump classes at least 2x a week. On the other days I’m doing cardio and weightlifting. I also do resistence training.

I’m considering weight loss surgery. What does one eat after a surgery? Could I just follow the same diet (without the surgery) and get the same results?
