First thing’s first, i’m 16 and 5ft tall. I’ve always had a bit of a horrible figure, and for about 3 years i’ve been on and off dieting. Mostly weight watchers diet and cutting out junk. I started at 9st and my lowest was 7st 10lbs.
Then I really decided to kick start my diet again this summer, so i could fit into a bikini, and have now got down to 6st 9lbs as of this morning.
I’m actually happy with my weight now and want to maintain it, but i’m unsure what to change about my diet to do so. At the moment i know i’m not eating enough (probably 500kcal a day, if that!) and i’m burning about 800-1000 kcal on the treadmill most days. (although it’s really less because the treadmill’s programmed for a man!).
So basically i know i need to eat more and do less exercise to maintain…. but i have no idea how to do that gradually… if i go up to 1500kcal over night i’ll just pile on the pounds, ditto for cutting back a lot on the exercise…. any tips from people who have come off a diet successfully?
I also want to know a good contingency plan, so if i want a slice of cake of a chocolate bar one day, i know what to do to burn it off and not gain a pound without feeling guilty!
Try to go up to around 1000 calories, weigh yourself, and in about a week, see if you’ve gained/lost/mantained your weight. Base your next step on the results.
ok im 14 an i got medium sized man boobs and i dont want to here any of that hormone crap because i kno im lazy and dont exercise ever except for occasional football game im 6/2 and 180 pounds i would like a good exercise program so i could losem an mabe get a six pack on the way : )
You will have to change your eating and excercise habits.
The best way to get muscle is to eat a diet that is high n protein, this will help your muscles bulk up faster. You can even try protien shakes as meal supplements for breakfast and lunch and before a work out.
Doing cardio work out and weights one day focusing on lower body and the next upper body.
If you want a to know what to eat and what exerciseses to do buy mens health mag, everything you need to know is in it!

A guy calls a weight loss company and order their 5 day, 10 lb. weight loss program.
The next day, there’s a knock on the door, and their stands before him a voluptuous, athletic 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
The sign reads. "if you catch me, you can have me."
She introduces herself as a Representative of the weight loss company.
Without a second thought he is off after her.
A few miles later, huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the 5th day, he weighs himself, and is delighted to see that he has indeed lost 10 pounds.
He calls the company and orders the 5 day, 20 lb. program.
The next day there is a knock on the door and there stands the most stunningly beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.
She is wearing nothing but reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads:
"If you can catch me, you can have me."
This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.
So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually gettingin better and better shape. Much to his delight on the 5th day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he lost another 20 pounds.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7 day 70 lb. program.
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone."This is our most rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replied, " I haven’t felt this good in years…"
The next day there is a knock on the door; and when he opens it, he finds a huge muscular guy standing there with nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads," If I catch you, your butt’s mine."
He lost 63 pounds that week.
Dedicated to my dear friend SuziQ211.

Health Promotion and Wellness Programs: Top Health Risks
By John Bates
Obesity, tobacco use and stress are the most common hazards to health in the American workforce. In addition to the direct harm they cause to individual wellness, they also provoke many indirect issues related to health care.
Weight loss and tobacco cessation are similar in that they both require behavioral modification and a comprehensive maintenance plan to curb the chances of a relapse. Staff qualifications should indicate training and experience adequate to deal with this type of psychology.
Furthermore, weight loss and tobacco cessation programs have varying success rates across different demographics and within small groups; therefore, health promotion and wellness programs have to be tailored to fit individual needs.
Before a diet and exercise plan can be implemented, a Health Risk Assessment is necessary to seek out pre-conditions for heart disease or stroke which could be compromised by the health promotion and wellness program.
Exercise programs and nutrition education should be scientifically-based, drug-free and physician approved. Weight loss has to be the result of a balance between caloric intake, healthy meals and exercise.
For resources and guidelines pertaining to obesity, nutrition, exercise and diet plans, consult: National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute
Physical Activity Programming
Encouraging people to exercise involves more than merely offering physical activity opportunities. Motivating employees includes acknowledging their present sedentary lifestyle and persuading them to make realistic and alternative lifestyle choices. The exercise program should be selected by the employee and offered during a time that is convenient for them in order to achieve a consistent participation rate.
Education will be necessary to teach employees the relationship between activity, diet and health and to demonstrate how this can be changed to encourage physical wellness. Health promotion and wellness program supervision will be necessary to ensure that injury does not develop and exercise programs are introduced safely.
Appropriate education in physiology, sports medicine or an equivalent and have a current CPR/First Aid certification should verify that health promotion and wellness programs are operated safely. The Health Risk Assessment should be checked to ensure the participant has agreed to a referral, elected exercise options and verified that there are no contravening health issues that preclude an exercise program.
Staff should monitor heart rate and blood pressure to protect health promotion and wellness program goals during all intervention procedures. Safe exercise guidelines are offered by the American College Of Sports Medicine. Free Fitness Handouts and Fitness Posters can also be found at Wellness Proposals
Tobacco Abuse
Smoking cessation is one of the most difficult health risk issues to tackle because nicotine is considered to be one of the most addictive substances. In order to succeed, participants must want to quit. Preparation to quit, support with choosing a method to quit and visible proof of results need to be demonstrated. Counseling should be available for the participant at any time.
Not all cessation programs work the same way with everyone. A qualified counselor should recognize individual differences and be able to match cessation programs with individual preferences. Diet plans, exercise programs, and activities that preclude smoking need to be presented as part of the cessation program. Relapses are common; therefore, a maintenance plan is mandatory. Nicotine substitution patches, sprays, gums or other medicinal options should be included in the counseling session to support cessation efforts.
Guidelines and resources for cessation programs are plentiful. Some of the best offerings are presented at the Surgeon General’s website, The American Heart Association, The American Cancer Society, The American Lung Association, or Smoke Enders.
For the purpose of tracking tobacco cessation success rate, the participants who began the program need to be the same ones who finished it. Maintenance parts of cessation should be recorded for a minimum of one year.
Healthy Choices, Healthy Diet
The Health Risk Assessment tests where nutritional education would benefit. With almost a seventy percent rate of obesity, the American workforce is in dire need of healthy food choice counseling. Health promotion and wellness programs promote better food choices by teaching participants how to identify low carbohydrate, lower calorie, high protein, and high fiber foods.
Explaining the relationship between obesity and the escalating incidence of heart disease, Type II Diabetes and health care costs should help motivate participants
I would prefer to see what you’ve done at summarizing so far rather than doing your homework for you. If you read the article, you can summarize it yourself by stating what is the overall message in the article, and what are the five main points that makes this message important. If you were to give someone advice on health and wellness, what information in this article would you tell them.
