For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to lose weight. I am VERY overweight and want to lose atleast 60-70 lbs by December. I’m 19, female, 5′4, and weigh around 240. My mom got me some Mega-T Green Tea pills to take twice a day. It says it helps curb appetite, helps stimulate metabolism, and helps burn fat. Is this true? And is this safe? It also contains Hoodia in it. I heard that green tea is good for losing weight around your stomach and that is where I carry most of my weight. I just want to know if I should really try taking these along with diet and exercise? I am VERY paranoid about pills, but this is more like an herb right???

I’m female, 30, 5′6, pear shaped. on 5/10/09 I started a lower carb/lower calorie diet. I’m eating 40% fruit/veggies, 40% protein, 15% carbs, 5%fat. I drink only water. My starting weight was 154. It’s 5/31/09, I’m now 150. I was hoping to lose more weight by now. I keep a food diary. These are the stats: Wk 1: 1709 calories weekly, 141 carbs daily; Wk 2: 1524 calories weekly, 102 carbs daily; Wk 3; 1321 calories weekly, 135 carbs daily.
How good is my weekly calorie/daily carb intake? Should i be doing something different? Should I have lost more weight than 4 pounds? Before this I was consuming lots of calories/carbs per day cause I ate fast food for lunch and dinner every day. I haven’t been exercising, I plan to start walking this week daily -1 hr. Any tips to see more effective results sooner? My goal is 140. Thanks.

I’m 5′2″, 32 years old, and my baby is now 1. I’ve managed to lose all my baby fat and am basically back to my pre-baby body, BUT, I was already kind of overweight before I got pregnant anyway. I feel as though I’ve ‘hit a wall’ in my weight loss, and am wondering if I’m eating wrong. Up until last week, I would always eat carbs after my runs/exercise… but have read somewhere that in order to lose weight, I should stay away from the Pastas and Rice type carbs and just have vegetables and proteins. Is this healthy?! I’m currently having my pasta or rice meals for lunch, but I read that it doesn’t really matter when you eat it… I’m just so confused!!
My exercise schedule basically looks like this:
Sunday: Run 6k
Monday: Body Balance class (core strengthening class I take at my local gym)
Tuesday: Spinning class
Wednesday: Run 5k
Thursday: Spinning
Friday: Run 6k
Saturday: Rest
I’m currently ’stuck’ at 60.6kgs (about 133lbs)… it just won’t budge, even though my calorie intake is really no more than 2000 calories per day (in fact, some days I find that I’ve only eaten 1000 calories, depending how busy I get chasing after my 1 year old!) Trust me though, ALL healthy and I cook everything fresh too with fresh ingredients… I hate processed food.
Aaaanyway, so is it normal that I’m no longer losing any weight? I’d ideally like to get down to 110lbs (I was even 103lbs at one point - believe it not, that’s not even below my healthy BMI, because I’m so petite… which is also why extra weight looks bad on me haha!). To be honest, I’d be happy to even get to 125lbs at this point!
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!!

Open Question: Am I fat? Any weight loss advice?
Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss NewsI’m only 16, but 5′10 and just over 11 stone, size 12/14. My mum used to keep reminding me that i was getting larger!! But i think she’s given up because i usually walk off! But i really don’t like my body, swimming i always wear board shorts and now started to wear a t-shirt over my bikini. I starting to stop wearing fitted clothes and usually go for baggy. But with trousers they’re usually fitted on the thighs, but if i go a size higher they fall down at the waist. I boredom eat a lot, but usually healthy stuff!!
So any tips on exercises that i can remember to do! That are fun, and can do instead of boredom eating!! 
I am usually quite active, but recently all the sporting clubs have stopped for exams, so any ideas on things to do there. I love climbing, and am in a climbing club, but thats stopped for summer 
and my parents wont take me to the other walls, and i can’t afford to pay the prices. Any tips
Thanks

Open Question: I need some weight loss help?
Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss NewsI am 16 years old with a BMI of 22, which is supposedly healthy…but I weigh about 140 lbs and although I don’t LOOK too fat, I’m definitely meatier and more muscular-looking than other girls. I would like to be more slim. Can anyone give me advice about how much lbs to lose and how to lose it? Thank you. I don’t want to go anorexic-just slim down a bit. Also, does anyone know any excercises for specific “problem areas”? My problem areas are my lower back, love handles, and thighs. Thank you.:)

Nothing burns fat. Nothing makes you lose weight while you sleep. These are known false claims. Agencies have taken action against them, but only on a case-by-case basis.
An estimated one-third of U.S. adults are considered obese, creating a significant market of people looking for something to help them shed the pounds.
The best approaches are changing our diet and exercise. Even the few FDA-approved weight loss medications need to be combined with eating less and exercising more.
Consumers should avoid products that make fantastic weight loss claims. Some supplements can help users feel fuller or raise their metabolism when used with diet and exercise.
The National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine posts fact sheets on its Web site about some widely used supplements.
For example, the fact sheet for hoodia, a cactus-like plant widely marketed for weight loss, notes: “There is no reliable scientific evidence to support hoodia’s use. No studies of the herb in people have been published.”
There are a few good weight loss systems out there that really do work, one is: www.lose-that-fat.info
They have a good proven system with alot of history to back it up. So get off the diet fads and check out www.lose-that-fat.info for a real proven system that works.

Open Question: 2 weight-loss questions?
Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss NewsHi, I am an 18 year old male and I’m trying to get into shape for college (graduating from HS on the 26th) and I’m seeing some improvements but I still want to ask a few questions. I started running 5 days a week (excluding the weekends) back in March, my starting weight was 205 lbs (I’m 5′8) so pretty bad, I could only run about a quarter of a mile before I had to walk. Now I can run a mile without trouble and I usually have to take a walking break because my legs get tired, but I never have any trouble breathing anymore. Anyways, I now weigh 180 lbs and while I defiantly see improvement I still have some work to do.
My main question concerns the distance I can run, because it’s very odd. As I said I can usually run over a mile without needing to walk, but occasionally my legs just get incredibly worn out after only like half a mile and I have to push myself to complete my normal distance, it’s pretty frustrating and it gets me a little depressed. Does anyone know why some days I just don’t seem to be able to run as well?
My second question is more about my physical appearance. As with most overweight guys I have what you’d call man boobs (moobs) and they really piss me off cause I’m sorta self-conscious. So I’ve lost about 25 lbs which I don’t think is too bad considering it’s the first time I’ve tried to lose weight. But even after those 25 lbs are gone my moobs are still basically the same. I run 1-1.5 miles every day, eat healthy, and do about 100 push-ups every day. Whats more is that due to the push-ups I actually have some muscles on my chest and you can feel a fairly decent size of pecs. Despite this I still have fat clinging to my chest even though my ams, stomach, legs, and face all have noticeable less fat on them. Can anyone please tell me how the hell to improve my chest area? I am aware that some guys have a genetic disorder that makes their bodies grow breasts as if they were a women, but as none of the men in my family have it I doubt that I do.
I know this was a pretty lengthy read so thank you for your time, and thank you again if you’re able to provide any information/answers on either of my questions.
I posted this in the diet/fitness area and got spammed by people advertising weight-loss pills/supliments and crap. Hopefully I can just get some real answers here.
