How can a 32 year old woman lose 20 pounds in 2 months if you weigh 175 pounds?

Yes you could. It would take exercise and most likely a change in your diet. On average you need to burn 3500 cals. to loose one pound of fat.

If you are eating a healthy 3 meals a day and joggin 30minsdoin 300 crunches and 50 squats a day How long would It take you to lose 25lbsI am 140 right now 15 years old and 5'4''?

Well I would take out the squats because squats are not good for fat thighs. Doing crunches and sit ups will loose weight a lot faster. When you will do crunches you will notice the difference daily. and crunches is not more of losing weight but tightening,which may be perhaps what you actually need sometimes when you tighten/flatten the stomach you will come to realize that's all you actually needed.

How many lunges or squats should you do a day for urgent leg and butt muscle build up?

Do as many as it takes to create muscle failure. Muscle failure is the sensations of not being able to do any more of a particular task. You should feel like rubber when done. The key to building muscle is not in doing the task every day. Your body builds muscle during rest, not during exercise. YOu must work the muscle groups to exhaustion(aka failure) then give them a minimum of 48 hours rest before resuming the exercise. Muscle building occurs during REST. To build bulky muscles quickly you need to do lower reps with higher weights. Doing a 100 lunges everyday is not as effective as 20 squats with 70% of max weight with a 48 hour rest. Again, muscle building occurs during REST.

You have lost at least 15 pounds on your diet you were down to 151 lbs and then after eating chipotle one day and panera another with no change to your exercise or diet you went back up to 155 why?

It's just water weight. It should go away in a few days. It's more than likely not actual "fat weight." Your body weight fluctuates naturally every now and then. It's totally normal. Just drink a lot of fluids to get rid of it faster!

Bodyweight exercises are movements done with just your bodyweight. Here is a list.

Pushups

Pullups

Chinups

Standing calf raises

To lose weight without exercising?

Stop eating any dairy except eggs. Replace milk with soy. You can also use soy garden or other fake butter until your weight goes down. Avoid cheese until the weight goes down. Also eat LOTS of vegetables. It takes more veggies to feel full than meat or carbs but don't worry if you dont feel full its ok- you can eat as many as you'd like. Also try switching from white flour carbs to unbleached whole wheat (make sure it says whole wheat not just wheat.) In terms of portions the goal is 3/4 veggie and 1/4 meat/carb. It sounds hard but you can eat AS MUCH AS YOU WANT as long as you have that proportion. Also make sure you eat a healthy breakfast every morning. That keeps weight down too and smaller meals several times a day is better than 3 big ones. Also snack on raw nuts and candy free trail mix. (You want way more nuts than granola in there- granola contains a lot of sugar. Nuts before meals will make you feel fuler too.

Good luck and if you can please try to walk atleast because physical activity is good for you!

I got great advice on losing weight from my doctor, no WHITE FOODS IN YOUR DIET. No white sugar, white rice, white bread, white rice, no white potato, white pasta, no bagels. Replace with things like brown rice, multi grain, rye or wheat bread, brown rice, sweet potato, wheat pasta or veggie pasta. Control your portions, look online for basics. Start walking at least 4 times per week. My doctor says people want quick fixes, but is no real big secret to weight loss, you have got to increase your activity and eat less. When shopping park further away from the door, take stairs instead of elevators and escalators, walk when you can since walking uses all muscle groups.

Should a 13 year old have bum hair?

Almost all boys and girls get hair sprouting around the anus, sometimes starting as early as 13, more often around 14-16. In some (more often in boys than girls), the hair spreads into the cleft between the buttocks, in others it doesn't.

As a separate development, some boys get fuzz, then real hair, growing on the cheeks of the buttocks, some time between 13 and 17. There's a wide difference between indiviudals. With girls, a bit of fuzz on the buttock cheeks is fairly common, real hair much less common, but not abnormal.
