Thats where I want to lose the most weight, that and my face...that's really it.

I seem to be fine with toning up my legs and arms, its the belly fat and chubby face that I can't seem to get rid of.

I have read all posted answers on this matter.
1st If you need to lose weight you need to tell us what your routine is while working out? I.E. Walking, running, weight lifting and so on...
2nd I have seen what you have been eating and would like to know more on what your eating like quantity?
3rd have you tried swimming. Swimming works all musical groups.
Now... I am not trying to be out of line but all this answers need to be answered before people start helping you out. It takes time to loss weight. Musical does weigh more then fat but if you are working out and you only lost 6 pounds then it would be hard to notice changes. Have you tried running every 2nd day. And when I mean run I mean, 5 to 10 km, as well run not a light jog. Another good add on to your eating diet would be frozen fruit it burns calories fast. Please take some time and carefully read what I have posted and please get back to me. I am sure I can provide great information for you to help you out with losing weight.

Most of these people aren't asking these questions because they have read my answers for them on my other posts on the same subject.

As stated, in this post I think, I am eating 1,200 calories. I really don't have the time to type out my weekly diet.

I am doing an hour of cardio (elliptical, and an hour and a half of strength training).

And I don't know how to swim, that was suggested to me before, so that won't help me.

And by musical, do you mean muscle?

I come here seeking advice on weight loss, not sleep. Thank you.

It is actually proven fact that people who have harder time sleeping. Or is under stress. People who have regular problems sleeping actually tend to have a harder time losing weight.

[Greg Quinn]

Her sleeping habits are fine.

I don't have a hard time sleeping.

[JoeCanada76]

I never said that you did have a hard time sleeping.

[ChihuahuaMomma]

I never said that you did have a hard time sleeping.

Then why are you telling me that people who have a hard time sleep have a hard time losing weight? How is that relevant?

[JoeCanada76]

It is relevant to whoever sees this thread. Are looking for every and anything that will help them along with weight loss. Do not get snippy with me. You see there is more then just you here you know. There has been a lot of people on this thread trying to help you out, but your ungreatful. Nit picking at peoples posts. People are taking their time to help you out.

[ChihuahuaMomma]

I wasn't getting snippy, but now you are. Really, where did I act ungrateful? I am grateful for any and all related information.

Just to keep things on a positive note here, I did lose the most weight because of diet and working my legs a lot. I think that working the largest muscles was what was most helpful to me.

Kind of off subject, but not really... I enjoy doing quite a few leg presses at the gym. I was told that this could make my hips look wider...

True? Not true?

[Clough]

I would think that wider would mean bigger and heavier...

Now, I am no expert here about this sort of thing. I only know what I have experienced with trying to lose weight. But, I would think that working out with weights might tend to help a person to gain weight some. Don't you think?. I mean, working out with weights for me is a way to gain muscle mass. I know that there are other exercises that a person could do whereby it wouldn't be so much in doing them to gain muscle mass but to burn off the calories.

[ChihuahuaMomma]

I do cardio which is for burning calories

And if you are flabby and work that muscle group, I'm assuming you will lose the fat and gain the muscle, regardless of what the scale says.

HI ChihuahuaMomma,

Cute name by the way. Well there are certainly other ways to loose the weight and drop the pounds more quickly. Trust me, and no you do not have to starve or become balimic or anything like that. I am 28 and I have 2 kids, I gained so much weight both times I had my kids, girl I was almost 200lbs. I am now 125lbs and I have been able to keep it off for the past 4 years. What I did was see a doctor where I live who is a weight loss specialist. He gave me some diet pills that help to control my hunger, and B12 injections. I have been doing this on and off for the past 4 years to maintain my weight. I also started taking fiber pills to help my digestive system and vitamins on a daily basis. The numer one thing is that you have to learn how to cut you calories dramatically and start choosing the right foods, when you eat. Also exercising is the also the key. I have an eliptical machine at home and I jump on it faithfully on a daily basis. Also I eat a small little something during my break at work and spend my lunch time walking around my hospital building. You will only not loose weight if you are taking in to many calories on a daily basis. This worked for me but every one is different. I know that this is not the most healthy way to loose the weight but hey it works and that is all that really mattered to me. I was not going to be 200lbs. I hope this helps to answer you question. If you want to know the name of the diet pills I take let me know that way you can look them up for yourself and decide weather or not that is something you would want to do. :)

Muscle and fat do not weigh the same. If you lose the fat and gain muscle, then chances are you will weigh more. Although, I'm not sure how long it takes to gain muscle as compared to losing fat. Just my reasoning on it...

[ChihuahuaMomma]

I don't care about my weight... I just want to be healthy.

[Clough]

It sounds like you are doing great things to be healthy, Momma! How tall are you?

[ChihuahuaMomma]

Thank you. I'm 5 foot 3 inches.

[Clough]

And earlier, how much was it that you said that you weighed? I think that you said 165 pounds. Correct?

[jespinoza1]

Ok, so here is the story.

I have been working out and dieting for two months now and only lost 3 pounds.

What's the deal? Is there anything I can do to speed up this process?

You stated that you do not care about your weight. Your questions should have been how can I be more healthier, not how can I speed up the process on dropping ponds.
