All you need to lose weight is a calorie deficiency. With a 30 minute limit for exercises, you should consider compound exercises like Stronglifts 5x5. http://stronglifts.com/5x5/

A calorie deficiency is needed to lose weight. Meal timing is up to you. Try it both ways to see which way works best for you.
-
Are you taking medication that could cause an increase in appetite and water retention? Are you using a food scale and measuring cups?
-
No, I first focused on the food because that is the main key to weight loss. Exercise is awesome but will not cause weight loss if you overeat.
-
Are you able to set-up a home gym and use free online videos and workout plans?

I am glad you didn't fall for her sales pitch in term of needing their services. Cardio is good for the heart but you can lose weight just fine if you never do a minute of cardio because weight loss is about a reduction of calories (calorie deficiency). Weight training burns fat/builds and strengthen muscles but…

Yes, it is good to read facts instead of nonsense for a change.
-
Oh, ok, got it!

As a rule of thumb, the following weekly targets would give a balance between minimizing negative side effects and seeing a reasonable weekly weight loss: More than 75 lbs. 2 lbs./week 40-75 lbs. 1.5 lbs./week 10-40 lbs. 1 lb./week Less than 10 lbs. 0.5 lb./week…

What part of the advice surprised you?

I do my workouts any time as long as I get my minimum of 30 minutes in 5 days a week. I work on the 5th floor of an office building. I walk up and down 5 flights of steps 2 times a day. I hit the gym after work during the week. On weekends, I hit the gym first thing in the morning. When the weather permits, I walk during…

Although my sons are grown, I babysit my grandson 5 days a week after a 10 hour work day but I still make time for my workouts. You have to make your health a priority. There are tons of at home workouts available online for free. Check out You Tube and Sparkpeople (Under the Article and Video section). More importantly,…

A body wrap will make you sweat and shed water weight which could easily be done by drinking plenty of water, anyway. Save your money and eat at a calorie deficiency so you can burn the fat pounds away. The best thing you can do for yourself is invest in a food scale and a set of measuring cups.

Here is a link to get your started. There are more located at the top of the main page: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

You don't have to give up either one. Fit them into your calories budget and enjoy!
-
The online calculator is one thing but the people making the food eyeball portions so take it with a gain of salt.
-
The MapMyWalk app has the Kettlebell option and it syncs with MFP.
-
Sounds like a quack doctor to me. You have to make and keep your health as a priority. As soon as you stop making it important, it will become less important. You don't have to go gang busters overnight. Start with a reasonable and achievable goal then add on as you go along. Focus on the food and follow MFP’s calories…
-
There isn't any need to suffer or torture yourself in order to lose weight. If you are tracking in MFP, fill your calories breakdown with any food you wish.

Check Craigslist.com

You could convert any cardio into HIIT. Find one that you like and check the machine settings. Personally, I love the Arc Trainer.
-
All of the above!
-
Set small goals and push yourself to accomplish them. The more you do it, the easier it will be to do. Time is going to pass regardless so ask yourself how do you want to approach it.
-
If you are not already using one, you would be far better off investing in a food scale.
-
I track on my phone but if you are comfortable with pen/pencil and pad then go for it.
-
No, it doesn't matter to me because other people have the same rights to the equipment as I do.
-
Nope!
-
Yes, I lift with intensity and no, I do not get lunked.
-
I recently switched to PF and love it. This new one has 4 racks, 4 bench presses, along with a host of other cardio and strength training equipment. Since it is a month to month commitment, try it for a month.
