If you only strength train and don't do cardio would you still lose weight?

Strength training burns more calories than cardio does because muscle uses more calories not only to sustain but to use. Also strength training continues to burn calories even after you get done working out because your body is working to recover the muscle groups that have been worked. As long as your not eating more calories than your burning you wont get big and bulky and you'll get tone too. Also you'll have more energy from the blood flow and your metabolism will get faster.

Is weight training or running better for weight loss?
* You will get the best results from mixing the two. Weight train one day and then run the next. Make sure before you lift weights that you get a good cardio warm up to get your body ready to burn the calories that will be burnt when you weight train. Also, you should get a good cool down with cardio as well. You can run, bike, run on the elliptical or jump rope to warm up and cool down. Mix everything up for the best results.* Yes, a combination or cardio exercise and weight training will give to the best results in terms of losing weight and keeping it off.

How can a weightlifter train for a half marathon and not lose muscle mass or strength?
Focus on cardio exercises that implement strength in them as well. I would imagine jump roping to be a phenomenal way to increase stamina while simultaneously giving you a great forearm and calf workout.
Should you do Cardio before or after work out?
I suggest 5-15 minutes of cardio before a workout to warm up the muscles and no more than 30-45 minutes of cardio after. After your cardio after your workout, you should stretch your major muscles because you will be a little stiff and it helps reduce soreness.
Can protein help with weight loss?
I would recommend only using food sources for your protein needs. Anywhere from 30-60 minutes after you work out eat a small meal combined of lean protein--Fruits/vegetables and complex carbohydrates. You may also benefit from doing less cardio and more strength training. For an example, try doing cardio 5 days a week for 30 minutes and strength training for three days every other day. You should also target the following muscle groups when you strength train such as Back, Shoulders, Chest, and Legs.
How many calories should I eat per day if i am 5'7 and weigh 140 and are trying to lose weight?
Technically if you are that weight and height, your BMI (Body Mass Index) tells you that you are of normal weight. So if you are like me and still have excess flab, even though you are of normal weight, the best thing to get rid of it is to strength train. Dieting won't make the flab disappear. Strength and cardiovascular training along with a healthy diet of about 1200 calories should do the trick.

Can doing crunches lose weight and build abs at the same time?
Crunches alone will not help you to lose weight. They will strengthen your abs, but they will not do anything for the flab on top of them, and they can often cause pudge to stick out and look worse. If you do other kinds of ab exercises you can effectively flatten your belly, but the only way to lose weight is to cut back your daily caloric intake and both strength train and do cardio, only using ab exercises to define/flatten your abs.

Who can help im 14 and am about 164cm tall and weigh 42 kg how can you gain more weight?
The top weight that you should get to is probably 158 lbs, because of your height. You may still be growing, though, and that would affect that number. I'm going to guess that you are not asking so that you can become a fat person; you just want to weigh more. The answer is to strength train. Cardio will make you lose weight and it's pretty clear that you want to add muscle mass. You can do the standard exercises that use your body weight or you can start going to the gym to use the machines there. Either way, you can definitely get a high protein diet and figure out how to bulk up.
