Trying to lose weight

I have always been a little overweight,
and it giot worse when i was on the depo
shot and was on a trial headache medacine
that made my weight jump fast (45 lbs in
one year). I have begun to lose that
weight, I was up to 200lbs and I am down
to 183 when I went to the doctor last
week. It took a year to lose that and I am
only 18 and really want to lose 40
pounds.
does anyone have suggestions on how I can
do it faster? I eat healthy and have
recently begun to work out. I wish i knew
someone trying to lose weight to do it
with me so we can help each other.

What is your body fat?
Besides eating healthy, some supplements
may help you lost fat faster.
1)Fat Conversion Inhibitor contains
garcinia cambogia, which helps to inhibit
the fat conversion process in the body's
cells. This promotes effective burning of
calories, which further promotes weight
loss for those individuals looking to reap
the most benefits from a healthy, active
lifestyle. It also helps maintain healthy
blood sugar levels and plays a role in
promoting optimal serotonin levels —
known to control appetite and give you
control over what you eat.
2)Carbohydrate Absorption Inhibitor works
to inhibit the absorption of starch by the
small intestines, forcing it to be broken
down and used as food for “good”
bacteria in the colon. An excellent
product for carbohydrate lovers, it is a
natural complement for Transitions Fat
Conversion Inhibitor. Contains magnesium,
chromium and vanadium, an essential trace
mineral only recently identified as being
truly essential in humans. Works on the
enzymes of the small intestine to inhibit
the breakdown of starch into glucose.
There are so many weight loss program on
the market, but most of them will make you
become a yo-yo diet. Educate yourself
before you try anything.

There are some scales that can measure
both weight and body fat, like Tanita
Scale, Ironman Model BC552 1.

As far as I know, it's a measurement thing
that compares the diameter of certain
areas of the body to your overall weight.
The physical trainer tested my body fat
index in high school and I remember
measuring my triceps and calves and
pinching my belly. Maybe you can ask a
PT?

It is good to heer that now you are trying
to loose weight. I want to give some
suggestion about that
1) Do regular exercise like yoga aur
meditation.
2) Do not go for any diet plan unless it
is advice by doctor.
3) Eat balanced diet.
4)Drink atleast 8-10 glass of water daily.

Speeding up any process of losing 40 lbs
will only make it more easy to gain it
back whenever you stop doing whatever it
is you're doing to speed it up. Dieting is
a lifestyle change that needs to be kept
up or the weight will come back when you
stop the diet.
I'm really not sure what else to suggest,
I know you're already making a switch to
become a vegetarian so I know you are
mindful of what you're eating. How about
drinking? Do you drink any type of soda or
juice on a regular basis?
What do you do for exercise? How often and
how long?

Sorry, the first paragraph was more
directed at lilylover. I'm skeptical when
it comes to taking supplements to lose
weight fast.
Do you have a set work out that you do?
You should try swimming for an hour or so.

Eh, gross! I hate swimming in lakes! lol
But I suppose thats just another reason
I'm as white as paper
I'm sure if you stick to how you're doing
things right now, then you'll lose weight.
It won't happen right away though! You may
even gain a little at first because you
gain muscle.
Later on, if you're still not losing
weight then increase the difficulty of
your workout schedule

Oh cool!
I've only been in one outdoor pool and I
LOVED it. It took a lot of getting used to
because I swim backstroke though, I still
have scars from the laneline
You're very lucky to have one in your
area!

yeah we have quite a few pubic outdoor
pools like that around here, it is kinda
gross with all the little kids swimming
and peeing and who knows what else but it
is better than a lake with all the fish
poop and stuff

Well, yeah thats kind of gross, but I'd
have to agree with it being better then
what you could find in a lake. At least in
a pool you can see that its, for the most
part, clean.
That just what I always tell myself
anyways

I used to looooove going to the lake as a
kid! I was obsessed with
kneeboarding/tubing...its great excercise!
I'm terrible at it now though
haha...swimming is great excercise
though...my mom is training to do a
triathlon in august, shes run quite a few
marathons too...I dont know how the heck
she does it...one of these days i'm gonna
get out there and do it myself! but i
cringe at the thought of having to get in
those ice baths
