At my local gym, they have treadmills with different programs that you can select (manual, interval, performance, heart rate, weight loss, etc). How exactly does the weight loss program work? Is the goal of that to keep the heart rate in a certain zone all the time? Or does it work differently? Thanks in advance.

My question again was about weight loss and there have been some great answers

We will meet a total of four times, and the times will depend on your availability time. Meeting places will be at a local gym of your choice.

they make you give your credit card info for shipping and handling but after 15 days you’re locked into a monthly subscription of to keep getting the pills…but according to this craigslist add, they will pay you at the end of 30 days IF you are one of the first 100 people which there is no guarantee that you are…

How can I find a weight loss program that works for me?

Pritikin Recipes

I’m currently about 5’8" and 120 pounds give or take 3 pounds.
I’m sixteen years old, I have a good amount of muscle mass and I’m pretty athletic. I don’t want to hear anything about how losing weight is a bad idea. I know that I can be healthy and weigh 110, which is my goal.
I realize that it’s not important what I weigh, it’s important how much muscle I have compared to how much fat I have. I do know that I haven’t gained much muscle mass since I weighed 110. So, the 10 pounds I gained is mostly fat.

So, I want to lose 10 pounds in 3 months.

Most weight loss plans target people with a significant amount of fat and 10 pounds is only scratching the surface. I want something that will work for someone my age, my build, and with a few basic requirements.

1. I do not eat meat. I need a lot of foods that are high in protein. I also need more iron. I don’t have a lot of either in my current diet.
2. As a general rule, I run 2 miles per day. It’s getting cold out, though, and I don’t have a local gym I can run in. I need other exercises, aerobic and anaerobic that I can be doing indoors. Anyone have any good ideas, share them?
3. I don’t have a lot of money for food right now. I need foods that aren’t expensive. That means none of these, "all organic" diets or any of that.
4. I don’t like many fruits. I can down them if it’s a must, but I’d rather avoid eating more than absolutely necessary.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Tips are helpful. References. Names of popular diets that you hear work. Anything helps.

Thanks in advance.
