on 11/22/2005 Let's not underestimate anaerobic training, i.e. pumping iron, as a method of losing fat. Muscle is metabolically active and burns calories, whereas fat is metabolically inactive and burns NO calories.

on 11/22/2005 Don't get so obsessed with diets that you stop eating. I made that mistake and became a 17 year old that was 5'5 and 95 pounds. I looked horrible and felt horrible. Eat enough and just excersise. That will do the trick!

on 11/22/2005 1. Pick your favorite time to exercise. 2. If you usually work out for 1 hour but feel like doing 30 minutes, listen to your body and do 30 minutes.
3. Look at losing as a positive thing for you, and don't punish yourself!

on 11/22/2005 Being fidgety and active helps you lose weight like nothing else. Bouncing your legs up and down and running to the phone instead of walking help you drop pounds. You burn 100 calories sitting for an hour, But if you are constantly moving you burn more.

on 11/22/2005 It works for me. I always eat something small, but enough to give me energy for a workout along with some ice water. After my workout I drink another cup or two of cold water and stretch.

on 11/22/2005 Take the stairs, not the elevator. If you pack your lunch you won't be tempted to buy junk food. If you eat when/because you're bored, find a quick activity that takes little or no equipment- reading, a quick walk, or playing with a pet.

on 11/22/2005 Eat mini-meals, including polyunsaturated oil, less fat, more fiber, salads, boiled carrots, some tomatoes & banana, lemon in warm water after dinner. Drink plenty of water. Eat less, walk more (30 minutes of brisk walking daily).

on 11/22/2005 Don't look at your fitness program as a chore. Think of it as a treat: "I'm allowing myself to look and feel great - I deserve it." I find it's easier to stick with it when I think about it as a reward to myself, not a punishment!

on 11/22/2005 When you go to work out, bring a friend. This makes is seem less like work and more like social time. It also kills two birds with one stone if you lead a very busy life.
