Is running good for weight loss in your legs?

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008
Weight Loss
Mrs. Heather Schabby asked:


I’d like to either lose weight in my legs, or at least tone them nicely. Even if they remain about the same size but turn to muscle I’m fine with that.

Would running with a Wii fit work to achieve this if I only run for 10-20 minutes a day? I have a disability which prevents me from doing more than that unfortunately. Will this be sufficient enough to achieve weight loss in my legs or tone them, or is there nothing I can do since I can’t push myself more than that?

Thanks!

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?

weight loss?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008
Weight Loss
Josh asked:


okay, so I know almost everything there is to know about losing weight effectively. I love to give advice to people on how to lose weight. Am I in good shape? Hellz no! I am 50 lbs overweight and 21 years old in college. I know all this stuff about losing weight, yet I cannot apply to myself. Why am I not strong enough to do this? I can barely resist eating. I love food so much. Taco bell, pizza, quesadillas, hot pockets, cola, the list goes on. I am addicted to food, I eat when I’m not hungry because I crave the taste of it. I have asked for the strength to resist these temptations but to no avail. It seems hopeless that I will ever be average weight. I dont’ need weight loss advice per se…I need ways to become strong enough to resist my strongest temptations…any suggestions?
I should mention that I do get up off my **** and try to stay active, I’m not that lazy, it’s just that the amount of calories I am able to consumer is far more I can burn off at my activity level, in the shape I am in, I can’t do extremely heavy workouts, in fact running hurts my legs, any kind of weight training will deal a lot of pain, right now, I basically try to walk a lot, because it’s basicall what I can do right now without noticing bad side effects.

Magnum Opus asked:


I am getting a tooth extracted and braces fitted a few weeks later.

I’ve worked all year to try and gain weight, and I am facing losing it all because I will not be able to eat whole foods for a while.

Is there any way I can avoid weight loss in this situation?

I am doing some weight training for the first time. I love working out and want the best possible results. I’m seeking to become a personal trainer, do some excersise videos, and be in a few fitness magazines. Do weight loss supplements, such as hydroxycut or slimquik, really work? Are they dangerous for your body? How do they work?

Thank you kindly for answering. I appreciate you all.

HLBellevino asked:


I will be starting either Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, or NutriSystem, I would like to hear about your experiences. Thank you for your input! I will be using their food which I understand I will need to supplement. I will also be joining the YMCA so exercise will be a big part of my weight loss strategy.
