It's merely a opionion. Even if they were words of encouragement, ultimately its the persons decision to do so. Besides it stated " the quickest way" to do so in my words. Than I gave the only and usually most effective way to lose wieght. Hit the gym, regulate food, regulate sleeping. Cause lets be honest everyone knows thats usually the most effective way, please try to intice sarcasm to its fullest before raging on a person. Other than a pump, or a high metab, diet pills or disorders will a person lose wieght. Its reality for you =o

Last year, I actually lost about 30 lbs doing Weight Watchers (unofficially), but I haven't tried their new points system, so I can't vouch for it.



Um...what?
I'm pretty sure you meant purging, not binging. Also, who the fuck considers bulimia a healthy weight loss method, and why would you encourage others to develop an eating disorder?

Adderall, like most other medications used to treat ADHD, is a stimulant. Weight loss is a common side effect because they can decrease appetite, as somebody already mentioned. Of course this is not a healthy or safe weight loss method.

I also wanted to point out that the term ADD is no longer part of the DSM, so not everybody diagnosed with ADHD is hyperactive. Yes, these medications do (or should) improve focus, but just because you have Adderall in your system does not mean you can't physically stop what you're doing. Still, I wouldn't recommend exercising while taking any stimulant unless you're prepared to closely monitor your heart rate and BP.

Thank you very much. I'm glad some people actually know stuff.

I personally used to look like a fat shit. Not really that overweight, but i had a little bit of a gut, and the beginnings of man boobs. This was prolly in 7-8th grade summer. I just ran everyday, got into better shape, and now im one of the fittest people in my school. Also, I began eating more protein and cut back on carbs. In the beginning i used to run maybe 2 miles a day, but i ate alot of bread and pasta so it didnt burn off. The second i ate more meat at dinner, and cut out the carbs, I shaved off a shit ton of weight. But in all honesty, there is really no universal way to burn fat quick, beyond hard work. Do not be suckered into buying a tv ad program, because you will realize that they do still involve hard work, and if you are willing to put in hard work, you might as well jog, do sit ups, push ups, and diet a tad. Save you some money too.

If you want to lose weight, I do suggest weight watchers. I've tried it and it worked for me. My friend lost over 100 pounds with their points system.

If you want to lose weight fast, cocaine.

Two easy steps to losing weight.

1) Open mouth.
2) Insert finger.

I guarantee you results in a week.

Note: Results may vary.

Whoa dudes, haven't any of you heard of Terri Schiavo? Throwing up is not the way to go. All you'll end up doing is fucking your body up. Weightloss isn't easy, and there is no easy way about it. The best thing to do is restrict your intake, don't eat ANY crap, walk around the block a few times. And drink lots of water. You'll never see immediate results Just keep on going and you will

I find it adorable that you're coming to Codex to let us solve all of lifes problems for you. As if we'll have the secret answers to age old questions such as 'How do I get money without lifting a finger?' and 'How do I lose weight without lifting a finger?', adorable.

I agree with Waser Lave. On both counts of his recommendation.

Though actually, both myself and my partner agree that we lose most weight when we're busy with something else ergo not snacking all the time. So at christmas we both lost weight because we were working loads. So maybe if you got a part time job to earn yourself money you'd also lose weight without noticing as much as actually having to physically face the idea of exercise.

Any time you have a deficit of calories to expenditure, you have weight loss. The trick is, the less you weigh, the less your body needs to use, so you plateau, in most cases. So just count your calories without changing your diet for a week. Just be honest. Then find something you can cut out, and work off an equal amount of calories that you cut, so you get a "double benefit." It works for most people. I've lost 25lbs since the new year doing this. It can work - it's logic. The only reason to go on a diet plan is to enforce someone else's discipline upon yourself. It's all based on the only principal that works. More out than in. Simple - but very difficult to do.

Anorexia. I heard it works.

ECA stack

In all likelihood if you're looking for a halfassed way to lose weight, you might lose it (depending how much harm you're willing to do to yourself) but you'll just end up gaining it back because the habits that made you overweight in the first place still exist

[Seaner]

ECA stack

This. Combine it with lifestyle changes and exercise.

To be safe, use a heart rate monitor. Thermogenics can be pretty dangerous if you've got any pre-existing conditions.

[vurty]

liposuction works too!

[Ladida]

Aw come on, the OP did specify "healthy" in the title

Abi, I understand the wish to see instant results, but you didn't put on that weight instantly either. You just need to get your butt into gear. Clean the house. Go for a walk (somewhere where you won't get abducted and raped), go to the gym (I'd never go to the gym unless I was already perfect looking, which is why I have my bike And hopefully soon a treadmill), if you have stairs in your house, go up and down them til you're exhausted, it's brilliant cardio. I'm guessing you're too self conscious outside, so do stuff around your house to keep busy and on your feet. And whenever you get hungry, eat a fruit or a veggie, drink tons of water (you'd end up peeing a lot but that's ok). There's no jump start, but once you get started, you'll want to keep on going so as not to have wasted your previous effort We can only encourage you, but you have to take the first, and second, and all the other steps after that on your own. Or with your family if they're also in the same position.

Don't diet. Doesn't work.

Eat healthy, eat regularly. Don't skip meals.

There is no such thing as a kick start. Start, stick to it, and over time, you'll see results.

This is coming from personal experience. Keep at it, don't give up, you'll lose it.

[anbeezy]

To be honest, watching what you eat is probably one of the biggest ways you can lose weight. Calculating your BMI and then figuring out how much your caloric intake should be is the first step. When you figure that out you can just starting eating healthier. Cut down on sugary drinks, carbs, empty calories and things of those sort and you'll be on the road to success. I just started dieting 2 months ago and I lost 20 pounds off of semi dieting. I sometimes fail and eat unhealthy so that's why I haven't lost a lot more weight. If you keep a strict routine I'm sure you can do it. Once you get your nutrition in order then you can start working out and it's all downhill for your weight from there! Good luck! You're not alone :]

Eat a little less, exercise a little more.

If there was any other quick solution that worked, we'd all be doing it.

It's just about good habits. I think half the problem with weight loss isn't the loss itself, it's maintaining that lifestyle to keep the weight off. No point losing 10lb if you then start eating crap and not exercising as soon as you do. You're far better to lose weight slowly and steadily if you want it to be a life change.

[RWS]

Generally the best way, in my opinion at least, is to drink mostly water (or tea) and get plenty of cardio. About 20-30 minutes daily (though honestly better to do 20-30 min every other day then weights on the days in-between; gives your muscles time to heal/recover).
Cut out all the fast food. Junk food sparingly/in moderation. Mostly a chicken & fish diet though one or two days of beef is fine. Highly recommended to get at least your minimum of at least vegetables (and/or fruit if possible). Single one-a-day multivitamin.
Lost about 10 lbs/week the first two or three weeks then about 7 lbs/week after that on that routine.

Good luck!

This. Last summer I went to the gym for 30 minutes each day (did the elliptical), and cut out all sweets from my diet. I lost about 20 pounds over the 12 weeks of the summer. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but I went from 116 pounds to 96 pounds, so it was a large proportion of my weight. It's the healthiest way.

96 pounds sounds a bit underweight, unless you're really really short and petite.

[Volition]

eat healthy, don't do regular cardio, do interval training

Don't eat junk food and eat less during dinner and shift it to lunch instead? Dinner is closer to sleep, and digesting while you're asleep ... meh

Eh, I'm naturally skinny so I've never really exersized to loose weight, more like exersize to tone up...

[vurty]

I can eat all I want and don't gain an ounce of fat^^ But you should really just exercise and eat well.

[Currant]

Take your goal weight and multiply it by 10. Count and eat that many calories a day.

Example: If your goal weight is 110, multiply 110 by 10 and you get 1,100. Eat that many calories a day.

Read all diet labels and cut out sugar and fat as much as possible. Eat lots of fiber to keep your poops regular. EXERCISE.

[beeve]

Apparently if you have a glass of semi skimmed milk after every meal that helps. It reacts with any fat in your stomach so it cant be absorbed. I dont know if it works, but theres not harm trying it as its only milk (:

[grapes]

Don't eat greasy chips and chocolate all day long.
