Sometimes, when we want something so much, we tend to overdo certain things to achieve our goal. However, it has been tested and proven several times already that overdoing things just makes it even worse than it already is. For example, women fight to death just to have a more toned stomach.

They do crash dieting, they exercise beyond their physical capacity, they take certain medicines, and sometimes they go under operations and surgeries. All these are options, but sometimes, we are too focused on getting what we want that we don’t notice that there are actually ways that are way simpler.

To be consistent with the example mentioned above about women and their struggle for a flat tummy and the various ways they try to get exactly what they want, they sometimes look way beyond the box and forget that there are actually several other stomach exercises that would do the job with less the pain of not eating for weeks, and the danger that exercising too much poses.

Exercise is important to lose or gain weight. Men and women alike want to have a gorgeous body that anybody would die for. However, women in particular are very much worried with their weight since unlike men who are proactive; women don’t actually do that much workout often. This is the reason why there is a bigger problem for women in reducing their weight. Most women opt to try those slimming teas and diet pills but I suggest that you start doing your homework and exercise.

The hips, back of the arms and the mid section together with the inner thighs are the areas that women are very problematic about. Now there are a lot of claims that exercises for inner thigh are very helpful in reducing the spots. Newsflash: It is not true. This is because there no such thing as specific exercises for inner thigh since your inner thighs store all the fat that your body takes in.

A whole body exercise is good, yes, because it can burn fats in your body evenly. However, for the problem areas in a woman’s body, a specific exercise for a certain body part to get rid of the fat and tone up the muscles is impossible. The only way to make yourself in perfect shape without those excess fats is to make your metabolism work fast and to do this you must first create a good exercise habit.

In order to do all these, you must educate yourself and learn more about the exercises for women. It is a fact that exercises for men and women are different. When men enjoy going to the gym and trying to broaden and boost their muscles up, women on the other hand exercise for their muscles located in their backs and abdomens. Exercises for women that are made especially for them are also crucial because we all know that men and women have different body structures. There are certain body parts of women that need to be shaped up more than the men.

A woman’s body is a haven and a temple and it needs to be taken cared of. Doing exercises are very important because women age differently from men. Since women undergo more bodily changes than men, there is a need to live healthier to avoid those unwanted love handles showing everywhere. Eating the right kind of food combined with the right exercise is the perfect weapon to keep women stunning and beautiful inside and out.

Paying more attention to a good exercise and a healthy diet will absolutely pay off later in a woman’s life. Taking care of yourself now will be good for the future and you can do your duties and responsibilities as a woman well if you start taking care of yourself now. So live a health-conscious life. Just bear in mind that you have to do the right exercise that is suitable for you and your body. Stay healthy, exercise regularly and be happy!

I am a female, 5 foot 1 inch, sixty-one years old. My weight is 167 and I would like to to weigh 125 pounds.

I have tried Slim Fast once a day and twice a day with a sensible meal at night or noon.

I tried ediets their ediet plan, heart plan and also weight watchers on line. The ediet was the easiest to follow and easiest to understand.

Everything was explained and they had a dietitian and exercise guru to answer questions and help.

I could not lose an ounce on any diet. I could eat 500 calories a day and gain a pound when I weighed myself the next day. I went to Mayo Clinic and got diagnosed with Diabetes and under active thyroid. Read more

I am a 5’7 female who has struggled with her weight for years. Currently I weigh 310 and am yet again trying a new diet. At 44 years of age, I would like to lose half my weight and am anxious to get started again.

Some of the diet plans that I tried that failed were Atkins, Weight Watchers, protein shakes, the cabbage soup diet, the grapefruit diet and the points diet.

I could not wrap myself around some of the stranger combination diets because they ultimately gave me indigestion, so I was unable to stay with them for any length of time. I did try doing the fasting thing, but it gave me massive amounts of problems with my bowls, so I couldn’t stay with it. Read more

My current vitals are 6 feet tall, 217 pounds. I am a 27 year old male. I would like to lose approximately 25 more pounds. I have successfully lost five pounds. In order to lose these first five pounds, I did not adhere to a strict diet.

My plan was to exercise more and to choose healthier alternatives when eating. Personally I think that the exercise was the key. My exercises of choice are running, bike riding, tennis, or Video games on the Wii.

Running is an obvious choice. However sometimes while running I get bored, even while listening to music. So then I started riding my bike more. The benefits of bike riding, was that I could cover more ground and see more interesting places around the neighborhood. Read more

Like many other people my weight had been creeping up over the years. For me it was only about a pound a year but over the decades that tends to add up.

Until age 47 I didn’t pay much attention. Back in 2003 some of my online friends had been posting in their journals about their desire to loose weight and I did a little research just to make sure they knew not to loose TOO MUCH weight.

I found that the Body Mass Index is the primary measure of a healthy weight. For adults (21 and up) the healthy range of BMI is 19 to 25. Unfortunately at 6 feet tall and 200 pounds I was at a BMI of 27.1… 23 pounds over the upper limit!

I was not alone, over half the male adult population is above the 25 mark. To get into the healthy range (BMI=25) I have to get down to 177. To get to the MIDDLE of the healthy range (BMI=21) I would have to get down to 160. Read more

Between a newborn baby and making up the ranks as a manager I juggled everything but my weight. At 1,55 m I had ballooned from 49Kg to 59 kg in one year. The problem with a deformed figure is that it soon precipitates you into a spiral of low esteem and more aloofness.

My call to alert to lose baby weight: my peers thought I was pregnant a second time! Like my infant I decided to proceed with baby steps: slowly but with a clear intent. First step: wake up half an hour sooner and walk around my neighborhood.

Second step: go the “milky way” : I had to buy twice a week yoghurts and milk for my daughter, I started buying liquid low fat yoghurts and small milk cartons for myself, for mid-morning breaks and late office hours- goodbye cheese bits from vending machine. Read more

Three years ago I weighed 215 pounds. I gained weight throughout college as a result of extremely poor eating habits and no exercise.

One day I finally decided to turn my life around and joined Weight Watchers. I learned how to read labels, watch my portion sizes, and exercise in moderation.

The meetings were extremely helpful in keeping me motivated. My leader was an inspiration and being around people dealing with the same weight issues as myself aided in my weight loss.

I lost 40 pounds almost exclusively through dieting. Exercise has never appealed to me and my only form of it consists of walking my dog.

I currently weigh 175 and my goal weight is 160. I hope to achieve this weight within the next six months.

My boyfriend is currently on deployment and a group of us women from the boat have decided to do the biggest loser. We are basically weighing ourselves at our monthly meetings and the woman who loses the most at the end of deployment wins a pot of about $300. Read more

In January 2006 I was at my heaviest weight ever. I was a 5’8″, 235 lb, 46 year old female, who had tried every diet known to man.

I had been married for 18 years at that time, and had gradually put on 8-10 lbs a year. I had tried gyms, personal trainers, nutritionist, walking, joined Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, NutraSystem, been to diet Dr.’s.

I could go on and on. I so desperately wanted to get back down to 155 (what I weighed when I got married).

My weight yo-yo’d so frequently, I’m surprised my health is as good as it is today. I was so depressed, my marriage was falling apart, I had no life except work. I began hearing about a weight loss surgery…Lap Band.

So I began searching all I could find on the internet. I finally located a Dr. with credentials that was to my satisfaction. Dr. Jaime Ponce in Dalton, GA. I contacted them to set up an appointment for consultation.

After I met him, I left with a different attitude. He offered me something nothing else had, a life time change, not a quick fix. I scheduled my surgery for November 6, 2006, by that time my weight was 246.

It has been 21 months I am down to 142 and a BMI of 21, (which had been 36). I don’t regularly exercise, but I must say I’m healthier today than I’ve ever been. My marriage has been restored and I thank God for this opportunity.

Insurance did not cover this, we had to dish out $20,000.00, but I’d probably spent that much over my life time of trying to lose weight anyway, so what was another 20???? This may not be everyone’s answer, but it was mine. Read more

I am a 43 year old female, 5’5, 190 lbs. I have tried numerous diets to lose weight and have been unsuccessful until now.

To give you some background on myself, I have no medical conditions, I don’t smoke, drink socially. I had a baby late in my life which contributed to the weight loss & also stress & depression.

My goal has always been to get down to a size 12 again.

At the advise of my doctor, I tried some weight loss pills that she prescribed telling me their were no adverse side affects.

I had horrible side effects, sweating, nausea, tired, listless feeling. In the past, I had tried various diet programs; I found these to be of no help either.

I paid a fortune for food thru them, and lost some weight, but could not afford to keep up buying the food & had horrible counselors that basically just cared about taking your money.

I also had tried just plain starving myself, eating one meal a day, and drinking lots of water. I did lose some weight, but felt horrible most of the time.

I then turned to working out & joined a health club, feeling I would be motivated by other people working out. I lost interest in the first couple months and became very bored with this. Read more
