How do you lose weight without spending a lot of money?
Question:
Answers:
A small boat (kayak or rowing) can be great low impact exercise .doubled with sightseeing river-running or fishing can also be a very enjoyable pastime. A used boat can cost only a hundred bucks or so and there is seldom a fee to use it. Just be sure that it is small enough for you to handle alone and no motor (that would defeat the purpose)
Good luck...

Get a friend who lives near you to go on walks with you. You will motivate each other to get fit and healthy and will give u an excuse to gossip for half an hour. Combine with a healthy diet - think no prepackaged food - ie; make your own salads and vegies with chicken breast. A lot of 'diet' food can be quite tasty and easy to prepare for relitively cheap. Look up low fat recipes on the net for inspiration. Also another thing i love, is to put on a CD of your favourite songs in your living room and dance for ages! youll have fun and burn a lot of fat too! Its not even like excersise at all! Hope this helps!
WALKING! Also eating healthy foods and watch portion control. Appreciate all your little successes...you didn't get overweight in a week and you won't lose it in a week either. Be sensible and stick to it. You need to first make up your mind that you are worth it and then "Just do it" Don't try diet supplements or any fad diet stuff...it won't last. You need to make it a life change. Some people really like weight watchers and say it helps...Good luck and smile...it makes you feel better!
Well, it's towards the end of garage sale season, but a lot of times you can find older excercise equipment at a cheap price there. However, here are some other ideas you can try.
Curves- Sometimes they run a 2 for 1 on their membership. Join with a friend or co-worker and split the cost.
Walking- It can be outside or in place while you are watching TV. Walking at least a mile a day especially if you pretty much lead a sedentary life right now can help you lose weight.
Join your local Y. Around here it is only $25 a month. You can swim, bike, climb stairs, jog, pretty much whatever you feel like.
runnign and half ration diet

instead of 2 eggs have one have half a bagel instead of a whole
or half of whatever you eat
20 Ways to Lose Weight
1. Take it one step at a time
Start by paying attention to what you eat. Cut back on fat and sweets and add more fruit and vegetables. After you have that under control, add exercise. If you hate to exercise try it for only 15 minutes a day at first, then a 1/2-hour. Keep in mind that while you are exercising you are burning calories and not eating. Also, it will be easier if you chose an activity that you enjoy.
2. Find a friend
It is always good to have support when you are trying to lose weight. Find a friend who wants to lose weight and compare notes, weigh-in together and maybe even have a contest.
3. Use weights
Working out weights will build muscle and raise your metabolism so you will burn more calories. Also, muscle takes up less space than fat so you will be smaller ( but probably weigh more).
4. Eat fewer carbs
Don't eat as much bread and pasta and you will see a difference.
5. Set a goal
Set a deadline to lose the weight and write it down. For example, ' By Dec 14/04 I will weigh 150 lbs or less'. Put it somewhere you will see it daily.
6. Give up soda
If you drink a soda or 2 a day you are adding empty calories. If you find it hard to stop completely, cut back at first and drink water instead.
7. Grill or boil
Avoid fried meat, grill and use lots of spices. You will get used to it and probably enjoy it more.
8. Don't buy junk food
When you go shopping, don't go on an empty stomach and you will be less likely to buy junk food. Keep your home 'junk food free' so you won't be tempted to indulge.
9. Eat breakfast
Consume most of your calories early in the day and always eat breakfast. Don't eat after 8pm and not only will you avoid those added calories but you will sleep better.
10. Give yourself a treat
When you tell yourself that you can't have something you want it more. Give yourself a treat once a day ( ie. half a cookie) and you won't feel you are missing out.
11. Use smaller plates
Trick yourself into believing that you are eating more by using a smaller plate.
12. Drink lots of water
Drink water when you are feeling hungry and you will get that 'full' feeling.
13. Don't eat everything on your plate
Many times we eat just because it's there. Pay attention to when you have had enough.
14. Eat five or six meals a day
Eating more frequently will keep you from getting too hungry.
15. Plan your workout sessions
Write your workout sessions in your journal or planner.
16. Stay away from fad diets
Fad diets don't work. If you lose weight fast chances are that you will gain it back ( and more) just as fast. It takes time to put it on and time to take it off.
17. Do several workouts a day
While you are watching TV do crunches and leg lifts.
18. Measure your food
If you decide to have junk food for a snack - be sure to measure and control what you eat.
19. Keep pre-cut vegetables
...and ward off those cravings.
20. Create Good Habits
It is a known fact that when we do something twenty-one times it becomes a habit. Create good eating habits.
