I am going to do 60 push ups each night from now on. I really need to lose some weight but I`d like to do other exercises besides push ups. Any ideas? I want to lose weight quickly!!!
Interests: Living life as an intiatic experience, uniting with like minds and hearts to build a better, cleaner, more peaceful world, listening to the wisdom of the inner voice, communing with the elemental forces of Nature, the arts, media and communications, personal growth and development, the natural healing arts, interesting cuisines, cinema, all that expands the consciousness, betters the Self, and links me with THAT from Which I come.
Inspiration: Whitman, Thoreau, the Tao, deep meditation, spiritually anointed words carried on the human voice and the Cosmic Winds, being with those of like mind and calling.

here’s what’s helped me lose weight: I do long walks, I`m on a diet created by a dietitian, I use the stairs instead of the elevator, but the most important is to count the calories that you eat and the calories that you burn. I always track my calories with a calorie counter. I use the one from http://www.projectweightloss.com/ cause it’s free and they also have interesting diet tips. If you can’t work out all by yourself ask a trainer for some help. Good luck!
You need to talk to a trainer!
Pump it up a notch , walking will show an improvement . You can lift weights but DO NOT start lifting to much weight so early take it bit by bit ... exercise your calves also . You can eat healthy too , purchase a weight lose video or go to Curves For Women . Some of it depends on where your trying to lose the access body fat . Last but not least , if you have not surfed the web about this give that a shot ! ohw and also keep doing what your doing . But whatever you do , dont take that fat-free food junk or those weight lose pills on the commercials. If that doesnt work try Body For Life . Theres a book about body for life at *books * a *million* .
www.holisticacnetreatments.comPush ups are great for building strength but cardio is best for weight loss. Walking, running, biking, etc for 30 minutes three times a week to start, then slowly increasing the time. It's better to go slower and work out longer than go go go and burn out after 20 minutes.
I also recommend yoga as cross training for any exercise or sport program.
Best,

1) Find a method of controlling your calorie intake. Then make it a life long habit.
2) Aerobic execerise you can sustain and live with. Long brisk walks are a good way to start. Start slow as mentioned above and increase time and distance. Swimming is really good.
3) Muscle mass has an influence on speed of metabolism. Add some other exercises for your whole body. Something good, if you want to spend a little money, is a Body Blade http://www.bodyblade.com/ . It gives a good overall workout and is very portable.
4) Have a variety of workouts. Pilates, yoga, running, walking, bodyblade, weigths, cycling, swimming .... find what you like.
5) It helps if you have a workout buddy. You can motivate each other.
6) Be committed. Do what you must everyday to make your goal happen. If you want it to work there will be some discomfort.
7) Exercise more than once a day if possible. For example 20 - 30 minutes in the morning and again in the evening.
8) Set goals and modify them if needed.
Hope this helps.
Yes, I know this is all about healthy living and blah blah blah, but I think exercise is overrated.
Don't get me wrong, exercise is good for you, but if your goal is weight loss I'd pay far more attention to what you're eating and drinking, and skip the bazillion pushups.
Improve your diet and you will lose weight without getting off the couch, and you won't be counting calories, carbs, points, fat grams or whatever the fad is these days.
As the sprout lady at the farmer's market told me, when I complained about having a cold, "I could tell you what to do, but you won't do it."
Exercise for a healthy body and clear mind...looking at what you eat, as what Evolotus suggested as well, is much more important if you want to lose weight and keep it off permanently.
What you eat, how you eat,why you eat..those are all important questions to ask yourself. Why do you want to or "need" to lose weight? And why in a hurry? Do you like what you see when you look in the mirror?
Some people can exercise until they pass out and not lose a calorie if they are doing it for all the wrong reasons.
At least pick exercises you enjoy, and alternate every so often. Walking uphill is great...pilates, yoga, biking, and just walking a few miles a day. Keep a food journal..know and be conscious of everthing you eat...that's most important.
be well!

That site has a list of alternative remedies that can be useful for weight loss.

There are many easy changes you can make in your daily routine that lead to weight loss.
-Drink LOTS of water, especially when you first wake up in the morning. This keeps your body processing and flushes out toxins.
-Drink plain green tea, it helps deter hunger
-Don't eat within one hour of going to sleep. It's tempting to eat late at night but your body needs time to process food while you are still awake or it just sits there.
-Count calories! Like others said before, it is so important to keep track of what you put in your body. Try calorieking.com.
