Ken asks…

Why can’t I lose weight?

First of all I had blood work done so it’s not a thyroid problem. I eat between 1000-1300 calories per day, 15-25 grams of fat, and about 80-120 grams of protein. I started using sparkpeople to calculate it so I am sure this is pretty accurate. Most of my fat is belly fat and I lead a very high stressed life, and I am 32. I do not drink. I saw an exercise physiologist who put me on a workout plan and we discussed my eating. He suggested I cut out butter, fried foods, salad dressing, etc. However, that type of food was never in my diet to begin with. He also suggested I avoid fast food and coffee drinks. The only fast food I ever eat is Subway and I only ever get a veggie sub with out cheese or sauce/dressing. And I take my coffee black. I know that I can’t keep pizza or ice cream in the house or I will binge so I don’t bring it into the house. My weakness is cheese so I usually have low fat.

A typical day would be:
B- coffee, plain ff yogurt with vanilla extract and fruit
S- fruit smoothie with protein (homemade, fruit, ice, protein powder)
L- Lean Cuisine meal with extra veggies or veggie sub from Subway
D- Huge green salad with evoo and red wine vinegar. I top the salad with either chicken, turkey bacon, egg whites, turkey, avocado, or a combo of these things
S- bowl of cereal, Edys fruit bar, or klondike slim a bear

I don’t drink soda pop unless it’s diet and I limit that. I should drink more water but I just can’t do it. I drink about 4-6 glasses of water a day.

I am not saying my diet is perfect but I think it’s pretty good. But the belly won’t budge. Is it because I am in my 30′s and it now takes a heck of a lot longer to see results? I am just at a loss!

I hate to weigh myself but I am a size 14. I like my clothes to be a little loose so I am probably more of a 12-14 than a 14-16. When I shop at plus size stores the smallest size is usually too big. My goal is to be in a size 10, which I guess is about a 40 lb loss.

Can anyone out there help me?
Sorry but these answers suck. Of COURSE I work out. I have a personal trainer who put me on a work out plan.
And no, my parents are not fat and never were. My mom is tiny and weighing 120 is obese in her book.
Again, enough with telling me how to work out. I hired an certified exercise physiologist! He knows what is best as far as working out. Also, I am handicapped so it’s very limiting as to what cardio I can do, but I DO DO IT! I do what my handicapped body will allow!

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Everything looks good except for a couple things. First of all no cokes at all even diet. Diet soda makes you think its better for you there fore you drink just a little more cause ” its ok”. WATER WATER WATER! Water is the best thing you can drink. It speeds up your metabolism flushes your system and gives you energy.

Second you need to up your cardio. Secret to losing weight is cardio cardio cardio also some weight training. Just to tone your body. The more cardio you do the more weight youll lose. And if you do some weight training your body will be more tone. Muscle needs energy to survive, fat is just stored energy that you never used.

Good luck!

John asks…

Famales: Losing weight?

Hi there.
Im going to be a Junior in high school in August, i believe
I am trying to lose wieght so that finding a dress for junior prom will be a slice of cake plus i am a bit overwieght and i want to be healthier.
My clothes sizes is currently a large and sometimes and Xtra Large but im trying to stay in a size large, maybe a medium.
Over the summer i have a goal to lose about 15-20 pounds before school starts or when school starts.

Any good ideas for me to lose wieght? I have a treadmill at home but i do get lazy doing that all day, my parents are very protective so me walking aroound the block and stuff isnt happening(asian parents)

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

*is it normal to have a headache when you first begin to workout?

I am really thick around my thighs and stomach area. Boobs and Butt are fine but i do know that they will probally shrink or decrease somehow. Overall im fine.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

If you are as serious as you say you are, get a personal trainer and/or nutritionist. Your goal is realistic, but it will be a lot of work. A healthy weight loss should be 1-3 lbs a week. Remember you want to try to lose more fat than muscle.
Fat doesn’t weigh much so you need to lose a lot to see a difference.

Good luck

Donna asks…

I’m 14 And I Need To Lose Weight?

i’m 14 overweight for my height and age i don’t know how much i have lost so far b/c i’m in an aerobics class at school so idk how much i weigh now but last time i checked i was 184lbs. then i lost 7 pounds the 2nd semester(idk how the 1st i think a lot b/c my clothes were fitting better n my stomach was smaller) which put me at like 177. something! so i just need tips that can help me better…i take diet pills…don’t tell me not to use them or ne thing b/c they work and they’re ok for me to take at my age!
but since i lost weight now i just: jump on my trampoline,do sit up,my ab lounge,tv workouts,plus my aerobics class at school!
but it seems like no matter what i do i don’t seem to lose as much weight as i think i should! but i think the problem is i don’t eat right!
i want to get down to a smaller size. i wear a 12-16 or L(which r tight)/XL: pants; XL:shirts
i want to get down to a 8-10 or 10-12(which is probably better) or M/L in pants; M in shirts or something like that

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

I used to exercise for an hour every night except, now that I think about it, I ate around 3000 calories a day thanks to being in the house all of the time. I only gained weight, despite my exercising.

Okay, there are a few steps you can take at first to slowly wean yourself onto eating healthier.

Stop eating fast food, it disrupts weight loss completely. You don’t need to cut it out completely, just look online at your favourite fast food restaurant’s websites at the nutrition information. Nearly all of them have it.
Salads are a good fast food choice, but with grilled chicken on top (if its chicken) and always look at the dressing packets. Ask for light or fat-free dressings with salads. Most of those little packets are 150 calories or less.

Next, cut out badbadbad carbs such as crackers, white bread, pasta, etc. Go for whole wheat/whole grain bread.

Cheese is another thing that disrupts diets. Unless you eat a very small amount or maybe part-skim if you can get it. Peanut butter is another thing you need to eat in smaller amounts. Maybe a tablespoon at a time? Spread on a stick of celery or for a sandwich on wholegrain bread.

SODA. SODA. Badbad! It’s amazing how many calories you can down from one soda can. Maybe diet soda? Coke zero tastes nearly exactly like regular soda with about 2 calories a can. Just don’t drink a lot, it’s still bad.

Drink water! It keeps you dehydrated, and full. Most people are just thirsty when they think they’re hungry, which is why they overeat. Eight 8oz glasses of water is what you should get in a day.

Measure things out. You can completely get 10x more calories in by simply eyeballing it.

Read packages. You don’t need to cut out your favourite foods completely. For example, a Chips Ahoy cookie only has 80 calories. Sure, an slightly high amount of fat but it’s a cookie. Eating two of those wouldn’t kill you.

Watch your calorie amounts! Even if you are eating healthier you definitely need to watch that.

From your exercise amount, and your weight, you probably burn 2500+ calories a day. So if you cut down to 2000 calories you’ll lose weight fast.

Good luck! Changing your eating habits isn’t easy, but if you put yourself to it you’ll be fine. =)

Daniel asks…

What to pack for NYC in early November?

I only got one good answer so I am asking again.

I live in NW Ohio and will be traveling to NYC: Manhattan, Nov 4-8 to visit my friend. She will be taking me to all the typical tourist sites, plus on that Friday I have the whole day to myself to visit the area since she will be working. I plan on walking almost everywhere I want to go on Friday. I’m going down to Greenwich Village, to the Flatiron District, maybe I’ll pop into Times Square.

I have no idea what to wear. She already told me to bring workout clothes to run or bicycle one day; I assume I will get warm, so would a capris or pants be better workout gear? We won’t be going to any fancy clubs, but she did mention maybe a ‘lounge’, which I have no idea what that means. I bringing one pair of jeans, a nice pair of black pants. I just bought a Columbia Abby Ace jacket, its thin but water/wind resistant and has what feels like microfiber lining. I’ll be bringing a scarf and a pair of gloves. I just bought a messenger bag to use as my purse so I can carry that stuff around with me- which now seems too small since I’ll want to stash any purchases in there. Will I look like some thief walking into stores with a large messenger bag? I used to use it at college as a book bag. I bought a fleece jacket which I will also be bringing, its more like a layer than an actual jacket, should be great with my new jacket.

I’m also ONLY bringing a carry-on on the plane (not driving!). So everything needs to hit in a medium sized duffle bag and my carry-on. I just read some comments around Y!A and it said the city was like a wind tunnel. Someone also told another girl to wear all black- not happening. I don’t need to ‘fit in’ but I also don’t want to look like a target walking around the city.

Thanks for any help, please mention where you are from, and if you have any suggestions for places to visit within walking distance of the districts I mentioned, that would be nice too! I won’t be driving and probably only using the subway to and from the airport (JFK) as well as with my ffriend.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Pack for cold weather..15c Max down to 11c or less in the daytime, much colder at night. Take a think coat and wear for getting on the plane, then you don’t have to pack it. Other stuff sounds fine, although remember the temperature.

Mary asks…

What should I pack for NYC during early November?

I live in NW Ohio and will be traveling to NYC, Lower Manhattan, Nov 4-8 to visit my friend. She will be taking me to all the typical tourist sites, plus on that Friday I have the whole day to myself to visit the area since she will be working. I plan on walking almost everywhere I want to go on Friday. I’m going down to Greenwich Village, to the Flatiron District, I’ll pop into Times Square, I won’t make it to SoHo (can’t afford shopping anyway), and various other places that she will take me.

I have no idea what to wear. She already told me to bring workout clothes to run or bicycle one day. Pants ok? Or would capris be better? We won’t be going to any fancy clubs, but she did mention maybe a ‘lounge’, which I have no idea what that means. I only wanted to bring one pair of jeans, and maybe a nice pair black pants. What kind of coat/jacket do I need? I’ll be bringing a scarf and a pair of gloves. I just bought a messenger bag to use as my purse so I can carry that stuff around with me. I bought a fleece jacket which I will also be bringing, its more like a layer than an actual jacket tho. Should I bring boots? I first only wanted to bring a pair of comfortable tennis shoes for walking, but on second thought, I need another pair of shoes for going out if I wear black pants. Would wearing just flats be ok? As long as its not raining or snowing, I’m fine with the cold temperature of no socks.

I’m also ONLY bringing a carry-on. So everything needs to hit in a medium sized duffle bag. I just read some comments around Y!A and it said the city was like a wind tunnel. Do I need a hat? I don’t really own any decent looking hats. I don’t need to ‘fit in’ but I also don’t want to look like a target walking around the city.

Thanks for any help, please mention where you are from, and if you have any suggestions for places to visit within walking distance of the districts I mentioned, that would be nice too!
I’ll be flying. NOT driving!

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

It feels like winter 98% of the time now … Its is now 58 degrees
you MUST bring a jacket now a GIANT north face coat but a good fall jacket
you probably wont look like a “target” unless you have on the brightest colors or an elephant
-Pants would be needed
-”lounge” you dont need to be fancy .. Jeans and a nice shirt is good
-flats is ok.. Its not going to be snowing soon
-and be prepared of;1EVERYONE in manhattan smokes &2.everyone is always rushing “somewhere” so you WILL be bumped
-MAKE SURE YOU BRING A CAMERA , to keep all your memories of NYC

    Joseph asks…

    When men exhibit their desire to wear women’s attire, are they any less human in doing so?

    When women wear men‘s attire, society has no problem with their appearance. When men put on women’s attire and society becomes aware of the public appearances, it has conniption fits wondering about their sanity and/or priority values. Then those men are considered some kind of deviant and perverted monsters that need to be exiled and put under the care of brain-washers. All they were doing is wearing what they wanted to adorn with. Isn’t it a person’s right of agency to choose what they can wear according to their desires and taste.

    Clothing and adornment fads or fashions have been worn on both sides of the socially generated gap between men and women during the history of civilization. Even today, denim jeans are probably the most popular items worn in every region of the world. Did you know that some men find the fit of women’s jeans feels better to wear than men‘s? Some cultures fancy men the wearing of skirts or of draping robes as part of their formal attire.

    Somehow society has taken the right of personal choice away from the individual and then made rules or laws preventing individuals from exercising that right. Then the fashion industry came into being solidifying society’s dominance in choosing what we can wear. Now anyone, especially men, who decide to exercise their right of choice and defy the rules of attiring are usually subjected to the possibility of being singled out for embarrassment and rejection. As an example of this activity, one could search this web-site to see the social attitude towards men wearing women’s apparel and accessories. Then use the same type of search for women wearing men‘s attire.

    Yoga Wear Guru answers:

    I don’t think it makes them less human. It has to do with society’s perception of gender roles. But, nevertheless, I would not want a man who dresses in women’s clothes.

      I have a pair of yoga pants from Aerie. They’re basically like a pair of black leggings but they are longer and bootlegged. I’m just wondering if it would look weird if I wore them out in public. They’re really tight and I’m really thin. I usually wear a thong underneath so there’s no pantylines.

      Would you think it was kind of gross or weird if you saw someone wearing something like that?

        Your Questions About How To Dress For Yoga

        Maria asks…

        Would like to take adult ballet…any thoughts?

        When I was 11 I took ballet for two years, quit, and then I took it in college again for 3 semesters (to ward off the freshman 15). I am 26 now. alsoI have been taking figure skating lessons for 3 years (ISI FS3 level) . I don’t compete rather I like participating in our rinks ice shows. When I get to FS 5 I would be able to do a solo program… so this is more for fun and fitness! I would like to supplement my skating with some off ice training and I know of skaters who do ballet, yoga and pilates. What are adult classes offcampuslike ? How old are the participants since in school everyone was my age of course. Is there still a strict dress code? What can I expect as far as elements? I think the hardest thing we did in college were the pirouettes. Some girls were able to do doubles but I stuck with the single. We also did split jumps and basic combinations on center.

        Yoga Wear Guru answers:

        Adult dance classes are becoming really popular. There are quite a few (including ballet) at my studio, and they always seem like they are having so much fun together!
        I say go ahead and sign up, with your prior experience you probably have strong ankles which is really going to help you. I suggest working on your core muscles because when you do turns, you need to hold your core really well.

        Hope this helps, good luck in ballet!!

        lose weight after c-section in 3 months?

        I need to lose alot of weight in 3 months, because I’ll have a wedding. I want to lose all my baby fat.. anyone know how to get a faltter body? I was 112lbs prepregnancy and weight 165 at 38weeks. I’m recovering from c-section for a week already, I had my c-section on 11/19, I’m doing fine but i cant do any excerise untill 6weeks. After 6weeks I will start doing sit-ups, crunches, yoga, and anything that will help me lose those baby fat. Please tell me because I want to look good for my wedding dress. & I’m only 16 (= Thanks in advance.

        Yoga Wear Guru answers:

        Be very very careful, whatever you decide to do. No serious weight lifting or anything like that. I had 2 c-sections, and even tho you might feel fine, you will definitely know when you’ve over done it. One thing, after any kind of abdominal surgery and some docs fail to inform us, yes you might be technically healed to the point where your not in any danger of ripping your incision open after 6 wks, but it takes a full year for it to heal completely. Too much strain, especially in that area could actually cause a “surgical hernia”. More or less you tare the new tissue that’s healed. Which can mean more pain, and possibly another surgery. I recommend aerobics or speed walking at first, and just get a feel of what you can do. Just remember one thing, it did take 9 months of that baby growing inside you, don’t be discouraged if it all doesn’t come off in such a short time. It really isn’t healthy. And congrats too on the baby and the wedding!

        Ruth asks…

        How can I make myself look my age?

        I’m going into my third year of college and a lot of people think I’m still in high school. I know I should consider it a good thing that I look young for my age since, when I’m older, I’ll look younger. but, right now, it’s sort of an insult to me. I don’t feel like people take me as seriously when they think I’m a teenager. and it especially doesn’t help that I’m shy around people I don’t know well. I’ve tried to break out of my shell, but this is just how I am, I can’t help it.
        anyways, I want to look more mature. I already act mature, so I’ve been told. but at first glance I look like I’m about fifteen years old and I’m twenty years old. some people do think I’m older than I really am, but for the most part people think I’m a teenager.
        how can I dress or wear makeup? I don’t wear makeup like i used to. only once a month or so. and I wear a lot of bright colors (pink and purple mostly), and a lot of black too. I wear gym shoes or flip flops all the time. I own a lot of long, bohemian style skirts that I wear a lot during the summer, but when it’s cool outside I always wear black or gray yoga pants. most of my tops are solid color with no graphics…….so do you have a suggestion on what I could wear and how to wear my makeup to look more my age?
        btw, I’m Muslim, so I wear the headscarf. my scraves are usually lighter colors (white, pink, purple, turqouise…)

            Yoga Wear Guru answers:

            All the time. Even before I became a mom I would go shopping in my jammies. I could honestly care less if someone doesn’t like the way I look. That’s not a lack of self respect, it’s a strong sense of self. I don’t need to do my hair, put makeup on, and wear fine clothing to impress anyone. And honestly, if someone requires me to do that, then they’re not worth impressing.

            Society has become so focused on appearance, that the things that actually matter, no longer mean anything. It’s scary and not at all what I want my son, and future children, to grow up in.

            Donald asks…

            My Little sister is acting like a skank how do i talk to her about it?

            okay so my little sister is 13 and went through a fase were she lies constanly, well now she is going through a skanky fase and im really worried about her!

            let me just tell you im not her biological sister but we lived together in the same house for 4 years and call each other sister

            but anyways she told me she sent a pic of her boobs to some boy and she said she wouldnt ever do it aging and that the kid kept begging her to and she caved in
            also when she was going through her lying stage she told me she had sex before she moved here which make at the age of about 8 or 9 so i HIGHLY doubt she did

            well just last month she dated a guy they broke up on a friday
            and that monday she was kissing another boy
            then the next day she was kissing another boy
            then she started talking to some boy and while talking to that kid she randomly started dating this other boy named kyle so her and that one boy stoped talking

            then during the weekend she told me she stayed the night at this girls house the girl also has a big brother named sage , well my sis liked sage, so i asked her if she was dating that one boy why is she hanging out with sage she said well im breaking up with kyle anyways so its okay…………but i dont think its okay

            well i told he she needs to chill with the guys and then a couple hours later i check her facebook and her and her friend took a bunch of pics wearing yoga pants and tank tops rolled up to their boobs to make it look like a sports bra
            they took the most skankyest pics there was even one were she held some long straight tube close to her mouth to make it look like a …. well you know!!

            well i told her dad about it
            he is just as concerned as i am
            but he isnt doign really anything about it besides he told her to get the pics off and she has’nt

            i wanna have a talk with her about this whole or deal so how should i go about it??? or shouls i just stay out of it??

            thank so much for reading this!!!

            Yoga Wear Guru answers:

            You should tell her that her behaviour is inappropriate. She needs to realize that she is likely to regret her action in the future. She is only 13, and little girls shouldn’t be acting in such ways. She needs to enjoy her childhood.

            Mark asks…

            How would you go about talking a girl into getting fake boobs?

            I’ve been with my girlfriend for about 3 years now and when we met she was wearing a wonder bra and I thought she was hot. But now when I see her naked, all I see is a flat chested C-cup. I’m so bored. She says that she loves her body but I think it’s gross. I’d kinda like to see her go up to an F or G cup but she says that would hurt her back. I told her “That’s what Yoga‘s for!” but she thought I was kidding.

            I’m pretty turned off by her selfishness AND her body. I think I like her enough to go the distance, but not when she’s only got a C-cup. Other than her lack of cleavage, everything else is good enough: her butt, her smile, she’s not as stupid as most women. She just says she’s got too much self esteem to do plastic surgery, I think she’s just too selfish. She even mentioned something about not wanting to pay for it. BUT IT’S HER BODY!!

            How should I approach making her get the surgery?

            Yoga Wear Guru answers:

            If her body disgusts you that much, let her go! A C-cup!? My god, what is she thinking! She must be crazy, not wanting to make them bigger for you!

            Games people play and i still stay the same

            i have myself to blame

            it was i who was pretty
            and you who was not
            being with those other ones
            just makes me available
            and more hot

            back out on the market
            this is true indeed
            while you’re with no one

            Ruth asks…

            Why aren’t I growing much? HOW TO GET TALLER, UGHH?

            Me: 5’5″
            Sister 1 year older than me: 5’10″-5’11″
            Mom: 5’1-0″-5’11″
            Dad: 5’9″-5’10″

            Okay so everyone in my family is like so tall! I’d even kill to just be my dad’s height. But I’ve only grown like 2 inches since I was like 12! I’m 15 now and this is just pathetic. Why am I so short? my mom’s side of the family is pretty tall and my dad’s side, well idk about his dad but his mom is pretty short but am I seriously destined to always having to wear high heels?

            Is there any natural way (yoga, eating certain foods, volleyball, sleeping? etc?) to grow taller? Dont say pills or something, too. Im so freaked out, because I really want to be 5’8″ or 5’9″ by the time I am 18, because I like being tall (I’ve been the same height for a long time. When I was younger I was one of the tall kids – now people are growing taller than me and i hate it) and if I dont grow taller, volleyball will be harder for me.. being a 5’5″ OH, though I’m still good, taller players still have an advantage. If you don’t know ways to grow taller, or you do, what are things that stop you from growing?

            Im seriously freaked on this. I talked to my doctor about it at my check up. my mom and her were laughing about it but im serious – it really hurts my self esteem. i dont think i could handle being 5’5″ or 5’6″ my whole life. I’ll even live with 5’7″ if I can get there. And whats the latest that people stop growing?

            Yoga Wear Guru answers:

            You didn’t mention your age. There’s no sane doctor who will give you growth hormone just to get taller, and once you’re fifteen or so, nothing in the world will ever make you taller ever again. At that point, your bones’ growth plates, which make you grow, vanish.

            But I’m like lots of guys who prefer shorter girls, so don’t worry about it.

              Your Questions About Yoga Clothing

              Sharon asks…

              Yoga and Rock Climbing Clothing?

              I do yoga and rock climb and was wondering what clothing/equipment preferences were out there. As far as clothing i’ve heard a lot about Verve, but just wanted to get a feel on some opinions and suggestions.

              Yoga Wear Guru answers:

              Prana or “prAna” (as they like it spelled) is both expensive and sized for the super-skinny. I sold the climbing line at the store I used to work at and the resort I work at now has just phased out the yoga line. If you can find some on clearance and you are thin, then buy it because its good stuff.

              Like others have said, you need something that allows movement. The big difference is a lot of yoga clothing is loose fitting. That’s OK for bouldering, but really baggy clothing sometimes bunches up under harnesses and long, loose sleeves could get in the way of your hands. Likewise, loose clothing can get caught in belay devices and can generally be a pain when scouring through your rack to find the right pro. That sucks when you are 100 feet in the air.

              Personally, I’d rather blow money on good shoes and gear than on climbing/yoga clothing. For gym, rock wall, and summer trad climbing I’ve used nothing more than $3 T-shirt and a $10 pair of shorts I picked up at Wal-Mart. I don’t do yoga, but if I did, I’d most likely wear a T-shirt and my lightweight baggy trail running pants.

              That’ my $0.02.

              mens yoga clothing?

              anywhere i look all i see is womens yoga pants so i was wondering if there were any stores or online places that may have mens? nothing too expensive because i have seen some outragous prices around that were mentioned. thanks again!

              There are a few manufactures that offer both women’s and men’s yoga clothing (Prana, Be Present, etc), but 72K is the only one I’m aware of that does only mens (http://www.72k.com/).

              Although I do like Prana’s mens Mantra short, in my experience, there’s often not much difference between the ‘made for mens yoga’ apparel and the often more reasonably priced common athletic wear from sources like Champion (http://www.championusa.com/champion/Default.aspx).

              lululemon luon yoga clothing.. washing help?

              lululemon luon clothes washing help ?
              Hi :)
              i have a ton of lululemon clothes as i am a figure skater, and ive always washed them with color like clothing, in cold water and hung them to dry… Although I was wondering, can you wash black luon pants with a light blue or pink tank top? Will the black pants fade on my shirts?
              Please ! :)

              Hi there,

              It sounds like you’ve been taking great care of your luon! Although the black from your pants shouldn’t bleed onto your tops, we recommend washing your colours separately. Feel free to check out the blog we created about washing your lululemon items here: http://bit.ly/eUlZoS for some super helpful tips!
