Josh M asked:


I am on a weight loss plan to shed about 35 pounds this year. Will drinking a cup of coffee every day slow down my weight loss? I assume that it would be better to use low-fat and low-sugra sweeteners. Any ideas?

Im looking to shed a few pounds and work on my fitness. Im smack dab in my mid 20s, young, active, funny and a pretty smart cookie. Im not interested in joining anything that involves me paying someone to tell me I need to lose weight. I would like to have a pen pal so we can exchange goals, pics, recipes, dieting tips etc. Basically someone to reach my goal with. Does anyone know of a website or is anyone interested in maybe being my weight loss pal or to offer moral support? Thnx!!!!!

I am experianced in Yoga and plan to become a teacher soon. I have a friend who is very over weight say about 65lbs over weight. She has asked me to help her lose weight by teaching her yoga.

She wants yoga and a change of diet to be the main feature of her weight loss plan and she hope to lose all 65 lbs in 6 months. Is this possible?

JT asked:


Whenever I lose just a couple of pounds it brings on considerable anxiety. Keep in mind that I do need to lose the weight and I experience the anxiety BEFORE I realize I’ve had any weight loss. Anyone know what might be the reason for this? I am sure it is not psychological. Thanks.

I am about to go in for my yearly “check up” at the doctor. I just turned 18 and I want to talk to my doc about possibly taking weight loss pills to help me loose weight. I’m not going to go into my diet/ exercise, etc. stuff here. I just want advice on how to bring it up with my doctor.

Thanks!

I know that targeting weight loss and spot reduction aren’t possible, but I’ve been trying to lose the last bit of water weight in my thighs, stomach and love handles. I’ve stayed on a pretty consistent diet over the past month and every area has toned down except for my midsection.

When I do cardio, is there a way I can make my mid section sweat more to eliminate more water weight? I drink plenty of water each day, so I am making sure the excess salt is removed from my body. Is there something, like wrapping ACE bandages around my body that’ll help me sweat more from that area?

Brian C asked:


I’m 21, and was 230 pounds about 2-3 weeks ago, I have been dieting since then and am at 225 now. I do a light to moderate amount of physical activity. Anyways, I’ve been consistently eating approx 1500-1700 calories daily for my weight loss. I am in college so it is often difficult to find healthy food, but I am eating mostly fruits and vegetables, tuna, and having lunch meat or bagel sandwitches and running 2-3 days a week.

So thats what I doing, could I be doing anything better, or am I doing something not as good as I should. Is that too little calories too eat for my size or can I reduce them even more. Should I be eating other types of food, vitamins, etc.

Just looking for some good general advice.

Amy H asked:


I do a lot of cardio, out my weight loss stop a while ago. Do you think adding weights or strength training of some sorts will boost weight loss? I switch up my cardio alot, so I don’t think my body is just used to my cardio routine.
