Post subject: Does anyone know a weight loss strategy???

Hi, I am 23 years old and have been gaining on pounds and this is getting to me. The thing is that after several efforts of exercise and dieting, I don’t seem to get any slimmer! There are many ways to lose weight, but I have exhausted all the ways I know. I have consulted a few people but all of them have been telling me the same thing. It isn’t helping me and only making my fears worse.

Is there some way to make me feel better!!!

Sorry to state the obvious but a sustained healthy eating plan and regular exercise ought to do the trick.

If it's not working, I'd suggest consulting a doctor.

Good luck.

You are not the only one having problems trying to lose weight, without any success. I know that it is very frustrating to try all sorts of things and still be in the same shape…..I too have faced that!!! Just a couple of weeks back I came across Weight Loss 2008 that not only made me glad I did (I finally got a product that does the real thing) but got the work started. It has been a great way for me because it doesn’t throw up obstacles but gets the job done.

If you want to lose weight, ignore the previous poster. If they can't be upfront about the techniques they use, you have every reason to be suspicious.

The research right now says that for weight loss you need to be doing at least 60 minutes of exercise most days a week. If you are doing 30 min most days, that is only for health. 45-50 min is for maintaining current weight. Up your cardio and add more free weights. I noticed that when I worked out with weights I toned up much quicker. I also noticed that while I lost inches the weight didn't go down too much b/c I was gaining muscle. So don't focus too much on the scale and pay more attention to if your clothes feel looser. Trust me, doting on the scale going down is a recipe for discouragement.
