Is it possible to be healthy without being fit?

Yes. But being fit is the icing on the cake. Fitness brings an extra serving of mobility and energy. You can get out and do more stuff if you're fit. The "chemistry" associated with doing a bit to get or stay fit has time and again been shown to contribute to wellness, slowed aging and a host of other things. When the "big picture" is seen as regards a person's health, there should be a little fitness activity in there somewhere. Your body will thank you for it.

If you are 5' 5 and weigh 130 pounds how do you lose 10 pounds?

In order to lose weight you should create a calorie deficit. In order to lose 1 pound a week you should cut 500 calories a day from your diet or burn this amount of extra calories a day.

How long does it take to lose 122 pounds if you are 5'10 and weigh 293 pounds?

To safely lose the weight you can follow the diet I am right now. With this program you try and burn a pound a day. Its a lot of work but realitively easy to do.

For me at 5'9 286lbs my goal is 175. So 111 pounds is my goal. So If I follow this to the letter Im looking at 3and a half to 4 months if I don't plataue.

I know it seems boring but heres what Im eating.

Breakfast- Wight Watchers Cookie/2 8oz glasses of water.

Lunch- Slimfast diet Shake Small 1$ salad from a fast food joint (only use 1/2 the dressing they give you)

Dinner- 1 cup cooked rice, 1 cup steamed veggitables, 1 baked chickenbreast (assorted seasonings) I alternate the chicken with lean pork loin (6-8 oz) or 5-6 oz of very lean beef.

I do snack and that is an all day thing. 2 bannanas 2 apples 1 cucumber (about 10 1/4 inch sliced pices.

Total calorie intake is around 1500-1700 daily.

I use the Eliptical excersisor for 40 min. At my weight that's about 700 calories.

5 min walk on tredmill 3.5 mph that's about 50 calories

5 min run at 6mph on tread mill for about 100 calories.

30 min on the stationary bike for alternateing fast and moderate for 700 calories

Now add in that if you get 8 hours of sleep you burn an additional 960 calories you are now at a calorie deficit.

3500 calories = 1lbs. So I always have to add more activities in . I walk the halls at work, take the stairs rather than the elevator, park in the far part of the lot.

all this adds up and right now im at a -3443 calorie deficiet. in 3 days im down 2.5 lbs. Platauing is when your boby wises up to what you are doing and as you get more fit excersise becomes more efficient and it will take longer sessions or more intense ones than you are doing now. I should platau about 210lbs. But after dropping 70lbs I can afford to work a little harder.

Make sure you take a good multivitamin as well. And if ANYTHING really starts to hurt or become swollen see your doctor.

How do you work out?

If you're 15 or younger your body is still growing so dont push yourself its best to work out with someone because it's hard to keep going because it's a little boring it's easy to say " Bla I'll skip today"

Working out it easy if you really want to do it. Many people work out their arms, legs and abs You can work out your arms by lifting weights you should have someone with you to help you find out the right amount you can lift. You don't need a gym. I work out right in the middle of my bedroom floor.

For you legs you can do squats and lunges I'm 11 and I do 20 lunges a day (each leg ) for your abs you can do situps and crunches after a few. Don't get mad if you don't see anything after a few days. It takes a bit for your body to upgrade your mucles.

Like I said if you're 15 or younger your body is working on making you taller not bigger in muscle so don't push yourself. Do as much as you feel comfortable with. Good luck :)

How do you lose loose skin around your butt and abs after losing a lot of weight?

You don't, without surgery. It will eventually tighten up somewhat. There's not really much you can do to hasten the process.

What is a fast diet to lose 20 pounds?

You need a lifestyle change, NOT A DIET! You need to focus on getting your eating habits under control and doing a little of exercise everyday to keep in shape FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! (when I say changing eating habits - I mean eating less and more often) eat about 1200-1500 calories a day (at first). Keep a calorie diary of every day - it doesn't have to fancy, just a notebook; also list the diary your water/liquids intake (you need atleast 64 oz.). AND don't worry to much about what TYPE of food it is your eating (because u need to get used to eating regular food - just making the portions smaller! if you just keep a calorie count, you can eat anything u want - even chocolate and ice cream and doughnuts! but only a little!) when you're happy with the way you look slowly progress back into 1800-2200 calories a day. DO NOT JUMP RIGHT BACK INTO EATING THAT MUCH! progress in the course of a week or so. Then keep trying to keep track of your calories everyday onward (you don't need to write everything down at the 1800 point, but you should at least be aware of how much you eat of each thing you're eating.) REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR PORTIONS LOW!

exercise! - not too much because you need to able to do this for the rest of your life (when you start exercising a lot, your body gets used to it, and when you stop your metabolism drops). Do a little cardio every day in the morning and maybe an exercise video in the afternoon/evening (if you're a man/guy looking to buff up - eat LOTS of protein powders and shakes [without eating too much fat] and research different types of exrcises to buff wut u want on livestrong.com). AND! get a stretching book from the liabrary so that your aren't as sore after you workout! STRETCHING IS VERY IMPORTANT!

If you can feel your 6 pack - but not see - how can you get rid of fat?

There is no secret to getting rid of excess body fat: it requires following a proper eating and exercising plan.

With respect to eating, eliminate (or strictly limit) all processed (refined) carbohydrates. Get the carbohydrates you ingest from natural sources such as (preferably organic) vegetables and fruit. Keep your daily carb intake low (e.g., below 80 grams). Eat a protein rich (small) meal every three or four waking hours, and ensure that most of your protein is coming from natural sources such as (unless you are vegetarian) grass fed beef and sockeye salmon. A protein rich meal will contain at least 15 gramsof high quality proteins for an adult female and 20 gramsfor an adult male. Drink plenty of water. An eating plan like this will encourage your body to burn fat rather than sugar, which is what you want to lose body fat.

With respect to exercising, do both cardio and weight training. The cardio will burn extra calories during and immediately after exercising. You can begin by working up to walking 2 miles in just under 30 minutes every day, and do your walk before breakfast. If you want more than that, do another walk in the late afternoon. Do an intense, whole body strength training session twice a week. Concentrate on the basic exercises (squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins) and their variations as well as doing some core work for your midsection.

Of course, never change your dietary or exercise patterns without the prior blessing of your physician or other health care professional. The people who have visible six-packs follow a similar plan. It's hard work, but, if you work this plan hard and stick with it, your six-pack will soon be visible.
