Healthy Weight Loss Programs

I'm 5'5" and 156. What is a healthy weight loss target?

I just decided that I am going to get down to a healthier weight so I was going to start with my breakfast and I was wondering what is a low fat, healthy, weight loss breakfast.

I'm 21, and was 230 pounds about 2-3 weeks ago, I have been dieting since then and am at 225 now. I do a light to moderate amount of physical activity. Anyways, I've been consistently eating approx 1500-1700 calories daily for my weight loss. I am in college so it is often difficult to find healthy food, but I am eating mostly fruits and vegetables, tuna, and having lunch meat or bagel sandwitches and running 2-3 days a week. So thats what I doing, could I be doing anything better, or am I doing something not as good as I should. Is that too little calories too eat for my size or can I reduce them even more. Should I be eating other types of food, vitamins, etc. Just looking for some good general advice.

I am looking for natural products, which are also tasty.

I have about 15-20 lbs I would like to lose. I'm not looking to "diet," but rather just change my eating habits completely.

And I emphasize on HEALTHY because I've already turned to BADDD ways, if you know what I mean. I want to turn things around and begin freshly. I don't want to do what I've been doing anymore.

I am 19 years old, I would like something that doesn't require physical activity to start off with and is fairly easy for a college student who doesn't have immense amounts of time to spend planning and organizing. I am looking to lose 90 to 100 lbs. I know that it won't be easy or quick, but I am looking for something healthy. Any suggestions/pointers would be helpful. Also some good exercise programs that would help!

OK, this one is for my wife. We are getting ready to go to Las Vegas but my wife has some pounds to shed (so she thinks) before we go. I need to find FAST weight loss program or product that is also natural and healthy weight loss. Thanks.

Dear Yahoo! Users, I am just started gyming. I am 178.5cm, and 66kg. I cannot do a pull up. I wanted to train up to be lean(with 8 pacs and not those bodybuilder, very big size). My aim is to be able to do at least 10 pullups by 6 months and a 6 pac. I am student. So i would like to ask you guys about time arrangement gym/study, effective gym workout, weight loss and healthy diet. Firstly, effective gym workout. Normally, when I gym, I started with abs workout using machine and then train my arms with some machine. Rest around a minute or less before continuing. Then afterwards i did the one which trains back muscles, pullling the weights to my chest(that type of workout). Then, I did the one which i lie down and did something like a barbell but I push it up and down(With pulley aid, the one that trains chest). And after wards some assisted pull ups. Then I will rest, repeat for 1h plus. Afterwards, I will run on the treadmil for 8 mins running 1.6km(to lose weight). Is this a correct workout to train muscles and lose weight to get to my goal stated above? Secondly, about weight loss and healthy diet. Normally, breakfast, I had 2 eggs and a cup of milo. Lunch, I normally had fish soup. Dinner, normally chicken rice. Or something like that. Can somebody tell me what to abstain? Because sometimes I had tea breaks and supper. I don't eat fast food, except for subway;D So what food to abstain and points to take note for healthy diet? And also how to lose weight? Is my gym workout a good workout to lose weight? I also swim once a week. Around 10 laps of freestyle in around 12-15mins. And 2 to 4 sprinting laps. So, guys, what type of workout should I follow? Healthy diet? Weight loss? Thanks guys, I appreciate all your answers:D

I'm 14, and I'm 107 pounds. I have some belly fat that i'm trying to lose, and hopefully a diet and jogging will help. Can i get any suggestions specifically for what i should eat for Lunch, Breakfast, and Dinner? Thankyou. -Jas

I am trying to lose weight and eating small portion. after working out today I ate an apple and an orange at 7:33 pm exactly!! I felt so guilty eating it :( cause I know it has sugar. Now, does it ruin one's weight loss plan?

Hi. :) I'm a sixteen year old interested in losing some weight to feel better about myself and to get in good shape to keep up with my friends. My plan involves one hour of gym, one hour of dancing (both at school) and at least a thirty minute walk a day along with eating proper meals. Could anyone give me any advice to lose weight not fast, but healthy-like?

Fast weight loss is unhealthy because it can slow your metabolism and it will make you start burning muscle (from what I understand so far). So my question is, Can fast weight loss be healthy if while cutting your calories you still separate to 5-6 meals a day to keep your metabolism up; While also going to the gym everyday working different muscle groups every other day, while still doing a strong aerobic workout every day?

OK, this one is for my wife. We are getting ready to go to Las Vegas but my wife has some pounds to shed (so she thinks) before we go. I need to find FAST weight loss program or product that is also natural and healthy weight loss. Thanks.

I want to lose approx 15 lbs in 2 weeks. First off, I realize this is not a "realistic" goal as it is recommended to lose 2-3 per week. I have researched enough to know it is not dangerous, just hard to do. I am wondering if anyone has had any success doing this or any recommendations on what I could do to lose the weight! I will not starve myself, I am not stupid. I am also not lazy therefore I want to incorporate both healthy eating and exercise into this weight loss. I realize some people lose the weight fast and then gain it all back, that is not what I am looking to do. I want to lose this weight fast to be a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding, and I also want to keep it off following that. I am of average weight but have gained 20 lbs in 2 months due to my current antidepressant, and want to return to my normal weight. I am active and eat fairly healthy, although I do eat junk food at times like most people. I am willing to do a crash diet or cut my calories way down. Even try diet pills as long as they're effective and not dangerous! Thanks for any insight!

I like to eat crab legs without butter and just cook them by themselves and eat them just like that. Are they a healthy food?

I'm a 15 year old girl. Over the summer I was watching what I was eating and exercising everyday and I lost 20 lbs. Since school started I haven't been working out as much and I have let my eating habits slip. I'm starting to run everyday again. I just need to improve my diet. What are some good healthy weight loss foods? And I pack a lunch for school. Any lunch ideas? Answers would be fantastic. I'll pick a best. (:

I am trying to lose weight, and I really want to start eating healthier. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really not a fan of many fruits. Vegetables are okay; I like salad. But I need some more ideas on healthy, good-tasting foods. I find it especially hard to decide on something to bring to work and school. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I am trying to get to a healthier weight and I was wondering if there is a safe and healthy supplement that will work. Or are the supplements just a waste of money?

I'm an 17 yr. old girl who is 5'5" and 140 lbs., medium bone structure. I generally eat healthy (no soda, snacks, etc....) but have recently restarted a daily exercise routine (I stopped after a long vacation in the winter). I'm planning to swim 2x per week, take ballet lessons 2x per week and lift weights 1x per week (1 hr. each). Is it possible for me to lose 15 lbs. by the end of the summer? or is 140 lbs. a healthy weight for me?

Like I could say I can’t go to the mall or movies or whatever until I have ate with out extra food for a week or something? You know? I just don’t know where to begin!! What would you suggest? Thanks, Cailin Yeah I've been doing very little fast food anyways. But could I eat there like once a month? or less acually because we only eat at fast food places on trips

I'm hoping to lose weight for next summer, and I'm looking for some good weight loss tips.

I am looking for a good medical weight loss program in philadelphia. I now live in northeast philadelphia and i would like to go to a center nearby.

I'm trying to find a weight loss program to suit me. I did weight watchers for a long time and I'm just finding it difficult to continue that program. I do want a program though because I feel like I need the structure of it. Any ideas about programs that work for the long run?

Even though my body is shaping up, my weight stays the same and the reason for the weight loss is to bring my blood pressure down and get off the pills. That is even after 6 weeks of being on the program.

I'm currently doing an assignment for health class and the question is, well, the title of this question -- "How come weight loss programs and dieting programs don't work?" I mean things like Weight Watches, Jenney Craig, etc. I've tried Google but nothing so far. Thanks in advance! Lol, Barbra, you helped a lot(: Thanks!

A friend of mine is interested in starting a weight-loss program, but is type 2 diabeties. She cannot handle any sugars whatsoever, and has to limit herself to VERY few carbs. With this being said, does any know, preferebly from experience, any good weightloss programs for diabetics? Something where the food can be ordered, such as NutriSystem, where you don't have to go to the place to participate. Thanks in advanced~~! Links would be much appreciated,

Why do they only use thin people to advertise weight loss programs? If you're thin - then you don't need to lose weight. Why don't they use over weight people and then show the changes?

I've tried many weight management programs and the products tasted good but I didn't lose that much weight from it. Can anyone recommend a program that has helped them?
