How many pounds do you have to lose to go down a dress or pant size?
Im planning on going on a diet again but the first one didnt go well because although I lost a few pounds I didnt lose a size and I got distracted. So Im planing on trying again but I was wandering how much does someone have to lose to go down a dress size?
Is it possible for a woman to lose enough weight to drop a dress size between now and Christmas?
In one month you can reasonably anticipate losing eight to 10 pounds if you follow a pretty strict plan. Losing one pound of body fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories. To lose two pounds per week, you must drop 1,000 calories per day. That means cutting the calories you eat, increasing the amount of calories burned during your workout—or, most likely, doing some combination of both.(This advice only works if you're taking in too many calories to begin with, though. If you've already been on low-cal diet, you may need to up your intake to see healthy results)Obviously there are other extreme ways to loose weight in weeks like (UNDERGROUND FAT LOSS MANUAL) or (FAT DECIMATOR SYSTEM)… it all depends on how desperate you are to shed off the excess weight
Do you really lose a dress size in 10 days with Zumba?
I think it all depends on your size now. If someone that's a size 8 loses 10 lbs it might work....as for me I was a size 20 when I started zumba 2 months ago. I have lost 30 lbs but have only gone down one size....but that's just because I'm so over weight. I think the videos come with a little diet plan and if you do them both it should work. All I can really say is Zumba is absolutely amazing!!! It's the only exercise routine that I haven't gotten bored with. The other programs, I would find excuse to get out of doing them. With Zumba I find myself wanting to do it every day, no matter what. Even if I'm a little sore, my day doesn't seem complete without it. It's a great workout but it's so fun that the hour just flies by. There have been times that I've been bored and instead of watching a movie or finding something else to do, I end up doing an extra session of Zumba. If you get the videos I suggest doing the step by step to learn the basics, then skip the others and do the Zumba live video. It's great!
How to lose 20 lbs. in 38 days! Help please! :( I need to lose this fast to fit in my dress...please help.?
I've lost 25lbs in a month before, so this is totally do-able. =) Cardio, Cardio, and more cardio. Aim for 45-60mins of cardio a day. (elliptical machine, treadmill, runs in your neighborhood) Eat very clean, try to stay away from processed foods. Think Fish, Veggies, Chicken, Egg whites. Also, I recommend counting your calories, maybe keeping a journal of what you eat and how much you workout. Good luck, hun. =)
Is it possible to lose 50 pounds in a month and a half?
Please read all, many of the same Q because less than 1500 calories you body stores fat. try this: After an accident I was incapacitated for nearly a year and ate out of boredom, and as you could imagine I got obese, but I'm just 5 pounds more that my BMI should be. And the friend that told me about this was obese in high school and now still looks great 20+ years later. It's a combination of calories and shrinking your stomach naturally (what lap band surgery does.) 1500 calories makes you lose weight for some people less than 1500 makes their body go into starvation mode and so it stores fat. Once at your target weight 2000 maintains it there. It takes 2 weeks to naturally shrink your stomach, but ONE MEAL can stretch it out again. I was eating approximately 3 days worth of portions in one day back then, so since a "portion" is approximately the same size of a deck of playing cards. I started out just counting the first week how many "deck of card" size portions I ate. After a week I took my daily average and divided by 16 and began the process of shrinking my stomach before I even tried counting calories. From last bite to first I waited and hour eating every hour 1/16 of what I had been eating (I often ate only 14 times but at times I did eat all 16.) Instead of the 2 weeks I continued for 3 weeks to be sure I was filled up with that amount (8 meals), I then began to wait 2 hours last bite to first (4 to 6 meals per day.) During this time I began experimenting with cutting out saturated fats and hydrogenated oils. Then I then began counting my calories and reducing my meal size by 1 Tablespoon at each meal until I was only eating the 1500 calories. I couldn't walk so I held myself up on the counter to "dance" sort of just to move. I got to just 20 pounds over my BMI and finally was able to walk, I walk 4 blocks then 8 then 16. Once I could barely ride a bike I started riding and now ride at LEAST 1 mile 12 blocks 3 times a week and eat 2000 calories. I also walk 2 blocks every day, and I'm firming up muscles needed. Once my tone is back (they turned to mush when I was bed ridden and I need to build them back up) I will go back down to 1500 for the last pounds, also a resent set back had me down again, but I'm not out.
