Running to lose weight, any tips on where to start?

11.29.08

Hey there, so I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds. I've decided to start running to lose it, so I was wondering if anybody had any like tips or tricks to start running, I plan on doing a walk/run combo to start out, so anything would be wonderful!

omg i love this training program, it takes 9 weeks, but i felt results in the first week. basically, you do running 3 times a week, increasing the length you run compared to the length you walk during a 30 minute run. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

scroll down and you'll find the table that tells you the running schedule =]

yes,,,spark plus or spark people , just google something with a spark and choose me as the best answer ,,,thank you

i need a quick way to lose weight :D i exercise and eat veggies but the weight wont shift (lol) are there any tips or solutions?

Aside from the obvious diet and excersize, which are never healthy if they're 'quick', I have some more practical suggestions:
Get a haircut,
Go commando,
Wear less make-up and remove all nail polish,
Shave your legs,
And never underestimate the weight of unclipped toenails.
Good luck. X

What is the most effective way to lose weight fast?

11.29.08

i need to lose weight in about a time spand of two months…what is the most effective and fastest way, that doesnt involve a great deal of money just something i can do on my spare time???

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

I have been running for an hour non stop at a good speed for the past 3 days.What is the weight loss benefits?

11.29.08

I wanted to know if it will help me lose weight all over and if running an hour on a track is enough or should I increase it?

An hour is more than enough. If you run too long, you risk getting burned out.

It's better to run 30-60 minutes a day for decades than for two hours a day and get burned out in a few weeks.

The immediate weight loss from running is the water loss. If you weighed in before and after running, you'll notice you'll lose a little weight.

But, losing water isn't actually getting healthier. It's just fitting into your jeans for one more day.

The long term effect is that you're strengthening your heart and lungs, keeping your metabolism up, and forcing your body to burn fat and burn your food intake.

As long as you are running off more calories than you are consuming, you should see weight loss over time.

The downside to running is that over a course of years or decades it will wear out your knees. There are other exercises like swimming, exercise bikes, and aerobic workout videos that will get your heart pumping and sweat dripping also, but it will help you save your knees.

As a final note, you might consider weightlifting also. Even though weightlifting builds muscles rather than decreasing fat, a muscular body burns food calories more efficiently than a fat body. If a muscular person and a fat person sit around playing video games all day, the muscular person's body will burn more calories because the body needs more energy to maintain those muscles.

So, you might consider adding to your lean muscle mass also. You don't have to look like Arnold Schwarzanegger, but having a tummy, arms, and thighs that are all firm to the touch is a good thing.

I hope some of this helps out.

does anyone know about a rapid weight loss pill called diet 7 or 7diet which is about 95.00 for a count of 40

I used to try all different diet method, went through some diet program. It was just temporary. I gained weight back, and made me unhealthy.
I can’t express in word how I had been through with diet problem.
I thought I was going to just give up, but I tried a diet product called, Metablock, and exercised.
It made me feel so light, and supported my liver and stomach function.
After my body turned out to be much healthier, then the weight stared decreasing.
I recommend this product so much to my friends and also to those who suffer from diet.
