To boost metabolism, you gotta up your exercise and try some fruit in the morning.

To gain weight, hit the weights. Muscle is actually heavier than fat. So do weights, and try to lift heavy and short sessions. Don't over do it. Rest is as important to gain muscle. Mcki'D's ain't gonna do anything for you except make your face fat and look like an ice cream cone.

no way in 2 weeks. you cant . 2 months. you might get in shape.

www.bodybuilding.com go read up on exercise.

1. learn to lift weights. try not to take protein. work out 3 times a weeks. plan out your schedule.
2. do cardio to lose some of your fats
3. healthy eating. eat 5 to 6 small meals, rather than 3 big meals. this will get your metabolism going. eat healthier to lose your body fat percentage. good luck

I am on a wight loss regiment also, well I have been on a get healthy diet for about 9 months now.

I've dropped about 48 pounds since December, took a break over the summer and mantained, now I am back on the horse and have dropped 6 pounds in the last week.

Been keeping my calories at 1k-1.5k and drink a gallon of water a day, get in some basketball or cardio and the weight is falling off.

it really is burning more calories than you take in. The key is to lower your caloric intake

a few tips. Higher fiber makes you feel full and has fewer calories. White meat has less fat. Veggies have tons of water thus fewer calories. Drink diet coke instead or regular coke.

I used to be overweight, I'd say about 20 lbs too big, and earlier this year i decided it was time to do something about that.

In the past I've tried to go running and change my diet and its helped me lose 10 lbs or so here and there, but nothing ever significant.

So I completely changed my lifestyle and in 3 and a half months i dropped 55 lbs.

For me, it was all about the mental aspect of dieting/exercising.
It took time but in reality, to me losing weight was all about portion control. Convincing myself that less food could fill me up, and gradually it started to happen.

I kinda have a soda addiction too. Instead of drinking regular soda I went crazy with diet coke and water.
I used to drink a diet soda or a lot of water before I ate so my stomach would feel full of less eating.
I did increase my exercise rate, made sure I got good cardiovascular exercise to burn the fat, but nothing so excessive like most people recommend.

I also have to disagree with only eating fruits and veggies, etc. Those need to be in a daily diet, but its possible to lose a substantial amount of weight while still being able to enjoy foods you like.

I did it, and now im in hella good shape.

Seriously for all those out there trying to lose weight, its a mind battle. Convince yourself to change while still enjoying eating. Trust me, if you're having a miserable time doing this, you're not going to be motivated to stick with it for a long enough time for it to bear results.

Do not starve yourself. You will gain it all back and then some. You have to up your exercise and continue to eat.

Let me just say a few things all you're guaranteed to loose weight.

-Never skip a meal. Try to eat 5-6 small meals throughout the whole day. If u skip a meal there goes your metabolism. Think about your metabolism being a fireplace, your food is the wood. Never ever skip a meal.

-Try to eat around 10x your weight in calories. If you weigh 170, eat 1700 calories a day. Its hard but itll help. Avoid bad calories from junk food.

-Cardio but not cardio only. People always think cardio is the only way to lose weight. If you do too much cardio you'll eventually just destroy your muscles. You need to mix in a good balance or cardio/aerobic/endurance exercises with anaerobic/resistance exercises. If you do anaerobic which is lifting weights. Youll build up your muscle mass. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories your metabolism will burn.

-Try not to look at your weight as measuring point. Try to tack off pure body fat percentage. Usually when people go on diets they lose muscle and water weight mainly and little fat is lost. If you weigh more but look better thats all that counts. We all know muscle weighs more then fat.

-Drink alot of water

- Be extremely patient.

i don't know if it has been suggested, but why don't we open up an official workout thread?

then we can motivate each other, check up people so they don't skid their workouts, possibly check the calorie intake so people don't over stuff themselves, and maybe do some weight check?

i think it would be a great idea
