Somnambulist answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 7:12 am: Well, lots of aerobic activity will make you lose weight, if you want to tone up then yoga and crunches are good but for weightloss you need to get on a treadmill or bike for about half an hour four or five days a week. Also, you shouldn't lose more than 3 pounds a week because thats unhealthy. [ Somnambulist's advice column | Ask Somnambulist A Question ]
AdInA answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 6:11 pm: doing yoga and crunches may help a little, but it will most likely make you gain pounds. it isnt a bad thing because you gain muscle from working out and muscle ways more than fat. if you do yoga and crunches your fat will be replaced with muscle, so it isn't a bad thing! if you seriously want to loose weight, diet. eat healthy instead of junk food. don't stop eating because that wont help you at all!! just try and eat more on the healthy side and work out!

Shortie8959 answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 5:12 pm: It'll help, but try doing sit-ups and push-ups, other exercises like that. And running/jogging will help, too. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

dancindanger answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 1:54 am: Watch how many calories you eat in a day. I am in exactly the same boat with you. I am trying to lose about 20 pounds, and I have lost 2 pounds in one week from doing a lot of situps, exercise videos, and eating less. Still eat healthy, though. Instead of spending my whole day on the computer now, I do an hour of intense workout and another hour of stretching while I'm watching tv. Another good thing to do is, if you drink soda a lot, replace one can/bottle a day with a glass of water. That saves you at least 150 calories for something else. I also am eating a lot less snack food, like chips and cookies and chocolate. I also dance and play sports to keep myself physically fit. I go jogging a few times a week with my best friend for at least a half an hour each time. It really helps burn calories. This way, I get to be social and exercise at the same time. Hope I helped!!
