Question

Will I have a harder time losing weight than a someone who is overweight?

Answer 1

Diet/exercise: Are the only safe and effective ways to lose weight and keep it off. It takes 3500 calories to gain or lose a pound. Dont' get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet. See a good registered dietitian.

Answer 2

Walking program: Start with a walking program at your own place. Start very slow. Walk for just few minutes, take break and then walk again. Slowly you'll build up exercise capacity to walk longer distance without getting tired. Control calories in diet as well to get the most out the weight management program. Please note, weight loss will improve arthritis pain as well.

Answer 3

Live better: There is no age at which one cannot exercise & eat better. Improve your diet with lean proteins, fruits/veggies, & only 2-3grains/day, drink alot of water, decrease 500cal/day to lose 1lb/week. For exercise, do pool exercises since the heat helps & is not hard on the joints, or a reclining bike or walking on soft surfaces can help. Yes its harder but you can do it.

Answer 4

Important: Make sure your meds do not promote weight gain. As some pain meds might.

Answer 5

Control-IT: Control-it by biotics is a very good program that is very healthy and helps with weightloss and removing disease states.

Answer 6

Diet, exercise, MD: Best to follow very controlled diet (high protein, moderate select carbs, low fat) with very consistent exercise program. Consult with md is important to monitor progress and approve the diet and exercise in larger volume loss patients. Surgery occasionally is recommended. Muscle building exercise is good as it increases caloric consumption as long as health & joints permit.

Answer 7

No: It's not easy to lose weight. It's a full time job. It requires motivation, dedication, & self discipline. It can be done but it doesn't happen quickly or by accident. Consider joining weight watchers, tops, curves or buying one of the many excellent books available. Set a target date, take one day at a time, expect backsliding, stay focused, aim for lifelong healthy eating. B patient. Good luck!

Answer 8

Effort is required : To lose weight insure that calories burned > calories consumed. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz glasses of water /day. Try for 8 hrs of sleep/night. Aim for at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 of fruit per day. Use whole grains. Avoid sodas, alcohol & junk carbohydrates. Get in a good mix of aerobic & weight lifting exercises. Go slow to avoid side effects.

Answer 9

Lower : Caloric intake and move more. Simple but difficult.

Answer 10

Aerobic : Most exercises are safe. Avoid excercizes with risk if head impact. The key thing is to stop an excercize if you start to experience flashes and/or floaters. This is a symptom of vitreous traction on the retina and a possible retinal tear.
