I'm only about 15 pounds overweight. No matter what i do, what I eat how come its so hard.

But when there are people that are 30 pounds+ overweight, the weight comes off so fast!!

my girlfriend lost 25 pounds in 2 weeks, and she had no idea how.

25 in 2 weeks is SUPER ****ing unhealthy.
it'll all come back plus some. that or she's got a tapeworm.

15lbs should take you about 2-3 months to get off in a healthy way.

maybe your body is really happy at the weight you are at Jo? Sometimes the body knows better

or, maybe you need to mix it up. do a different type of cardio at a different point in the day, eat less fruit and stick to lean protein veggies and healthy grains.. *shrugs*

for most people your looking at 6-8 weeks to even see much change.

i think a lot of people work out for a month get upset because they are not loosing a lot of weight and then stop trying. it really takes longer if you are doing it in a healthy way.

remember if you are weight training you might be getting in better shape but adding muscle weight. for myself i am usually the same weight all the time, it's just the muscle replaces fat when i am in good shape.

eventually it should come off. but after a few months, if you think you have tried really hard then maybe go to see your doctor. it could be something else like your thyroid being out of whack.

what kind of cardio?
for how long?
how intense?
and if you are only doing arms and legs hun your body shape won't change much.

try doing a program/intervals instead of staying at one level. you will burn more calories.

why not shoot for 30lbs and then maybe itll be easier! I lost about 15 lbs is 3 weeks, just by eating right and cutting down on stuff i dont need but really love...also i rollerbladed or walked everyother day or so, its not hard once you start a healthy pattern and stick to it.

I hope my body won't be the way it wants it to be
i wanna be skinny skinny

join a sport...u burn more calories and have fun too
Maybe u need to cut back your calories just a little more, dont eat at night, and try cutting out carbs in the evening just have carbs at lunch and dinner.

buy some batteries... or have 6 guys on the side...lol

if all else fails a head weighs 20 lbs right?

to loose one pound of fat you have to burn 3500 calories.

this means eating 500 less calories a day ... or burning 500 more a day, JUST to loose 1 pound a week.

when you look at the numbers i think you see why it can take so long.

I lost a lot of weight when I switched from McD's to Wendy's.
