i can't seem to lose weight.
hello, i'm 19/f and i weight about 145. my friend is also 19/f and she is about the same height as me (5'6") and weighs around 108. i've been exercising everyday for two hours and even been taking ephedrine pills and i have not lost weight at all. i've also been doing crunches and i've seen no results. however, my friend has been also working out less than i have and she's already got a 4 pack! (it's only been a few weeks). i'm just wondering why i can't seem to lose weight and it's so easy for her to get a 4 pack so soon. thanks in advance.

hey!dont feel low dear,its just that different people have different metabolism rates,that's how some people never put on weight no matter how much they eat!dont compare yourself and your friend.usually,for overweight people,exercises,pills and crunches arent the answer.the answer to burn a lot of fat is- to walk very long distances,and the magic words here are -brisk walking[remember this,normal walking doesnt help as much as this does].so take long walks alone,early in the morning or later in the evening,and build up your times from 15 minutes,to half an hour or more.this will work brilliantly believe me.i am one who lost nearly 38 pounds this way!and these walks in fresh air can make you feel divine,it is really so enjoyable.good luck,try this,for a few months,you will lose pounds like anything.take my word for it.

Hello,
Thanks for asking this question, but I really hope that you can provide more specific information. Dieting affects your over all health a lot, so you have to be very careful.
First, what kind of exercise have you been and are you doing for two hours everyday? And do you eat right (eat healthy food and stay out of fast food and soft drinks, such as coke, pepsi, etc.)?
If you eat right, and your exercise is quite intensive, to the point that you have sit down and rest for a while before going somewhere else, then STOP taking ephedrine pills;
because if you don't stop, well then, within the next six to eight months, you would be in the hospital because of malnutrition and cardiac medical conditions, along with your respiratory system and circulatory of your blood, and maybe acute psychosis or paranoia.
In the worst case scenario, you might die from circulatory arrest. This is worst of the worsts, so I don't think you would have to worry about this but . . . be careful there =)
IF YOU ARE TAKING EPHEDRINE PILLS, I suggest you to decrease your exercising time to 30 minutes to 45 minutes a day, WHILE KEEPING YOUR IN-TAKE NUTRITION IN CHECK.
And AFTER THREE MONTHS, you should STOP taking any kind of diet pill, including ephedrine pills.
And don't worry about it. If you eat healthy food and stay out of fast food and soft drinks, all the while you also exercise for 30 minutes each day, you are fine. Your body will adjust itself and become fit, as long as you keep eating right and exercise.
For your age, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH YOU WORK OUT, anything from 130 pounds to 145 pounds is where you should be. Any lower than 115 pounds is UNDER-WEIGHT.
ALSO, IF YOU ARE IN A PARTY AND YOU WANT TO DRINK SOFT DRINKS, stay out of coke and pepsi; go with 7-UP, Sprite, basically those with the lighter color. Coke and Pepsi have a higher acid concentration in comparison to 7-UP, and they dissolve your food fast. Your body will not be able to absorb the necessary nutrition and you'll feel hungry faster.
AS FOR YOU FRIEND, if her weight goes down to BELOW 105 pounds, get her to a doctor IMMEDIATELY before it's too late =)
Hope this helps,
