How much weight should I lose.

[pinkxcutt]

5'8 208 lbs.

I want to get in shape... I'm sick of trying to make myself look good in clothes..and not succeeding. I'm confident, but I'd like to lose some weight. I don't want to be a stick however... so how much do you think I should lose before you'd date me.

Play a sport you like... easiest way for poeple to exersise because others keep you accountable to show up and also have fun while doing it =D

Try cross fit instead of just running or weight training. It is a cross bewteen weight training and endurance. Extreamly good for losing fat and toneing. An example of a cross fit kind of workout would be (part 1) 4 sets of 20s situps 10 rest 20 squats 10s restwith no break bewteen sets. (part 2) 50 pushups ( chest must touch the ground on every pushup... modified pushups if normal ones are too hard ) 50 bumbell swings 40 pushpus 40 bumbell swings 30 pushups 30 bumbell swings 20 pushups 20 bumbell swings 10 pushups 10 bumbell swings. ( for this second part you want to do the whole exersise as fast as you can... but that also means that if it gets too hard take breaks) Make sure that you really warmpu the areas that you are going to be working out before starting. ( 15-20 min for warm up and stretching ) oh and makesure you have a good cool down and stretch so that you are not too sore the next day =D

As for eatting try eatting a fruit every time you want to drink pop and eatting baked fries chips and homemade stuff instead of fried or fast food... =) DO NOT keep junk food inside the house... so that the next time a craving hits you it needs to be strong enough to make you go all the way to the store to get some.

Drink lots of water before eatting and eat slowly. Sometimes your body can't tell the difference bewteen hunger and thirst. It takes 10-20 min for your body to realize that you are full so the slower you eat the less chance you'll over eat =)

I would say 50 -70 pounds

I am straight by the way but I just like the way skinny girls look xD

I don't think your weight should matter that much, unless it's for you or your health. I know it's really hard to attract guys when you're a bigger girl though, because some of my friends are, and I know they struggle with it. Anyways, if you really wanted to lose weight, well it depends on a few things. I'm 5'10 and 125 pounds, but I'm very skinny, and you said you don't want to be a twig. Some girls I know are 175 pounds and they're really built and much shorter than I am, so it depends on your muscle mass too, how big your boobs are, etc. I don't know exactly how much you'd want to lose, so long as you're happy with yourself, because that's when people notice the most. :)

I would say a good 1 year goal would be 40 lbs. This would be 3.5 lbs a month.

[Kushmall]

No you can lose 40lbs in 6 months with training and eating healthy dude

[mandingo1203]

none you are hott! I'm me please! for real though lol

[Kattrain]

A good, healthy weight is about 120-140

You'd probably look good even at 150 as you bear your weight well

Good luck!

I'd date you as you are now to be honest. A good goal though I'd say is 40-50.

Since you're tall I'd say around 155 is a good goal weight. (:

Whatever much you feel comfortable with, just don't get all obsessed with losing weight.

[pinkxcutt]

What do you mean by getting obsessed?

[Anonymous]
