What Is The Correct Way To Lose Weight By Running? 2-3 Times A Week Is Good?
I’m trying to lose weight by running 2-3 times a week, but everytime I can only run like 1.5 miles (about half hour), should I go for 3 miles or so? ALSO, What is the best RUNNING plan? (how many times a week and how many miles every time?) THANKS!
First of all, throw out every thing you know, and don’t listen to the sale person pushing Hoodia.
Keep running, but slow down a little. Go for time not distance and you will notice that after a few weeks that you are traveling a lot further.
Keep in mind that running sucks but there is a reason that you are doing it and you need to focus on that reason.
Mine is Triathlons! I have never done one, but I have a goal of doing a few this new season.
I like to run outside along a road where people can see me. No one likes to see a failure and you might feel like on if your just walking. Select you point for a turn around and get there and back no matter how long it takes you. Your gonna run or look like a failure. (What works for one may not for another).
Good luck and keep in mind that you can do it! Watch and you’ll be pusing that 8 mile run!
the longer you keep your heart rate up the more calories you will burn. your should run for 60-90 minutes for weight loss. eating nutrient dense foods will help. try to avoid empty calories( calories with little nutrients)
Hi from France ?
If you walk 30 mn / day it’s good very well and check out your food too ! I do that each day, exept the sunday …
Have a nice day,

Ever since college I have been working to lose a fairly significant amount of weight (> 75 lbs). I’m looking for suggestions as to how I can make *this* time be the *last* time I ever have to try.
It’s been four years since graduation, and the most I have lost was 25 lbs, which I slowly regained over the course of a year. After spending a few months wallowing in self-loathing and feeling like I couldn’t bring myself to try again, I have given myself a personal pep-talk and created a plan to do it and reach my weight loss and health goals. But, it’s not like I’ve never done this before.
I usually stick to my plans for 2 weeks to about a month and a half before I get frustrated or bored or tired of it, and just throw in the towel. But I do not want to spend the rest of my 20’s and my life overweight & unhappy with myself.
My current plan:
Food: I joined Weight Watchers (this is how I originally lost 25 lbs) – I love the support system, I love that there are no lists of “good foods” and “bad foods”, and I love that it is essentially simplified calorie counting. I’m also learning to cook more, especially incorporating more vegetables and legumes into my diet. I’m not a vegetarian per se, but I just bought a couple of vegetarian cookbooks so that I can break out of my usual chicken rut. I’m also trying to work on cooking fast, convenient meals since I come home late most evenings.
Exercise: I also joined a gym and have set up a program for the next two months that involves working out three times a week (30-45 min cardio + weight training + stretching) and yoga and walking at home at least twice a week. Once I have built up some fitness, I’d like to increase the amount of exercise I do and try new and fun types of exercise.
Mind: I’m trying to work on my self esteem & to convince myself that I don’t have to be 100% perfect all the time, but that I have to stick with it. I’m also trying to relax & focus on other things I enjoy like reading, writing, etc.
So…I know there are many of you out there who have built healthy habits and stuck with it. What can I do to make sure that I succeed this time around? Thanks in advance for any & all advice!

Hey Cutie, I guess you can say I am lazy but click on the link and read it!http://www.sigep.org/documents/cardio-10…
For me it was very informative and sort of an eye opener. Makes lots of sense. Good luck with your program.
Exercise everyday like jogging around the block
Skip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per day
Dont eat until you’re full
Eat fruits at night if your hungry.
Drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.
I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.
there’s a video on success fitness too.
First of all, TRY A DIET. Like 75% of losing weight depends on what we eat, and 25% in how much we work out.
try not to run, but walk fast. if u have a pedometer, try to stay around 120-130. if you do it 3 times a week is good. if u can increase that number later will be great.
Remember, in diet is the key of your success.
Good luck!
