Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 You can always do Yoga, people of all sizes, ages, abilities can do something, but it is best to do so with a teacher and in my lineage, Krishnamacharya, we teach to the individual. I may be able reccommend a teacher in your area. sarisalsa <sarisalsa wrote: how could i get rid of about 70lbs of fat on my body. i have tried lots of things. i'll lose weight for a little bit then there it goes ...right back and more. help Get on board.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Eat 5-6 mini meals a day (spaced about 2-3 hours apart); drink lots of ice cold water; do cardio for about 35 minutes a day and make sure you are working between 70%-85% of your maximum heart rate. Introduce weight lifting every other day when you are ready. Muscle burns more calories, which means you can eat more : ) Check out : http://sparkpeople.com/index.asp Lots of great people, excellent articles, and ways to help you get healthier : ) You can do it! best regards Lisa ¸,.·´¯`·.»§« Practice a Random Act of ndness »§«.·´¯`·.,¸ © Spiritually_Speaking spiritually_speaking- : ) Permission to share freely as long as credit is given. - " sarisalsa " <sarisalsa Tuesday, August 22, 2006 8:49 AM fat how could i get rid of about 70lbs of fat on my body. i have tried lots of things. i'll lose weight for a little bit then there it goes ...right back and more. help --- avast!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hello! So, what have you tried so far? Losing weight is the hardest thing to do isn't it? I bet it's easier to kick heroine! LOL! Sadly, there is no easy fix for weight loss. All I can do is tell you what works for me when the scale starts creeping upward. Firstly, eat breakfast. Try some healthy cereal or oatmeal like Kashi brand; studies have shown that people who eat breakfast cereal are healthier in general. Secondly, you've got to restrict sugar intake. Not only is it fattening, but detrimental to overall health and mood. I'm not saying to use sugar substitutes either, they are ALL an unhealthy choice. Although I have been doing some reading on xylitol which is a plant based sweetener that's comparable to sugar in sweetness. It's what's found in raspberries and other fruits. I haven't tried it yet, but it's actually GOOD for your body and builds stronger bones and promotes healthy teeth! Check out this link to learn more: http://www.laleva.cc/food/xylitol.html So, now you are eating a smart breakfast and limiting sugar to a minimum, next you've got to find an activity to get you moving that you ENJOY! If you don't enjoy it, you won't keep it up. I love to walk and do simple floor exercises like stretching, push-ups, sit-ups, and breathing exercises. No equipment or gym membership needed! If you don't have a good amount of time to exercise, that's okay, short bursts of exercise throughout the day are FINE. I have 3 kids so needless to say, my time is limited. Even walking my dog makes me feel good b/c I'm out there moving. Don't obsess over carbs or any other elimination diet. Just ask yourself before you eat something " Is this beneficial to my body? " If the answer is no, make another choice. DRINK WATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY! Don't deprive yourself if you want something unhealthy, but only have a *taste* instead of going nuts. Meditation, yoga and massage are all good for the psyche as well as having positive physiological effects. Find someone whose company you enjoy to get involved in activities with you. Go walking in the park, or rollerskating, or for a leisurely bike ride. Tell yourself that you DESERVE to be in good health, and don't fixate on the weight. When you get a positive mindset, the weight will naturally come off. Lastly, don't keep junk food in the house; it's impossible to reach for it if it's not there in the first place. Instead, keep better choices on hand like walnuts, pumpkin seeds, ready-made salad, cut up fruit and veggie pieces. You can do it b/c you're worth it and you deserve to be healthy not just " thin " . If you feel that you are making positive choices and are MOVING a lot your body will respond. I hope this is the sort of advice you where looking for b/c it's the best I could give! ~All the Best, Connie sarisalsa <sarisalsa wrote: how could i get rid of about 70lbs of fat on my body. i have tried lots of things. i'll lose weight for a little bit then there it goes ...right back and more. help Get on board.

It's ALL natural and actually works too. You can find it at most health food stores and Whole Foods carries it as well. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I have Stevia, and it's okay .. tho Im not a huge fan. I think when you start eating properly, you will not crave sugary things as much. Im open to being wrong tho Lisa - Connie - I thought I would throw in here that Stevia is also a healthy sugar alternative. It's ALL natural and actually works too.
