Weight-loss Support Groups - I heard of several social online communities that help people with weight-loss? One time I heard about a group online that was a weight-loss support group where you can talk to all kinds of people and get support and encouragement to keep going with your weight-loss plan.

Does anyone know the site or anything about that!?!

  • it sounds like some whine BS for people with no disipline and just want to tell each other that it%26#039;s ok... bla bla bla.

    HERE ARE THE BASICS:

    1. you lose weight by consuming fewer Calories than you burn
    2. you gain weight by consuming more Calories than you burn.
    3. you should be concerned with losing FAT, not weight. There are 3500 Calories/Lbs of fat. To lost one pound of fat/week you have to burn 3500 Calories/week more than you consumed. there are 2500 Calories in a pound of muscle.
    4. You should be more concerned with your percent body fat, not your weight.
    5. the best, most effective way or burning fat is by combining weight-training and cardio exercise. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. You will burn more calories all day long, including while you sleep. A health body fat percentage for males is 7-18%, females 18-24% (approximate numbers).
    6. you should eat 6-8 small meals each day - this will prevent you from eating 3 large meal which will slow your metabolism while your body works to digest the large quantity of food.

    As a general rule of thumb, you should be weight-training 3-4 times per week and performing cardio 3-5 times per week.

    Consider hiring a personal trainer (ISSA certified) and a nutritionist. The money spent on these services is worth more than spending money on pills and potions.
