What is the most effective way to lose weight in a gym?
I have a gym membership, and my gym is awesome! It has everything you could ever imagine. My question is what would be the most effective machines to use at my gym to lose weight all over. I am a female and weigh 170 lbs and im 5’5 in height, if that helps.
Also what is good to eat before the gym? Or should i eat after, Im pretty clueless on the whole weight loss thing!
Thank you for any help

If there is a stairmaster at your gym, choose the interval/fat burn setting and set the intensity to something relatively high, and I guarantee you will be sweating buckets five minutes in.

My answer is too long to fit on here. I have written a blog on weight loss, you should read it from earliest to latest entry (bottom to top). I have information that’ll give you a solid starting foundation to start losing weight. Think of it as a “starter’s guide to weight loss”.
I have been doing research on fitness for years and I personally have lost 50 lbs last summer. No, I’m not an advertiser, you can see I’m a top contributor to this section of Yahoo Answers.

It’s my personal blog that I made today because I’ve been basically typing the same stuff to almost every question on ‘Diet & Fitness’ that I just thought it would save time by making this blog.

you just need to get some cardio going.
Weightlossdiscs are excellent as they have no joint impact but great cardio benefit.
You will notice your belly shrink!! Good luck!!

If you want to lose weight, you need to two things: eat less and exercise more. Weight gain happens when you create a calorie surplus (eat more than you burn). Your body takes the excess calories and converts them to fat which get stored around your stomach, arms and thighs. The longer you remain in a calorie surplus, the more weight you’ll gain. To lose that weight, you need to do the opposite. You need to create a calorie deficit (start eating less than you burn).
Your first step is to figure out how many calories you burn on a daily basis. Use a calorie calculator – http://calorieneedscalculator.com The number you get from this tool is what your body burns on a daily basis. To lose weight, simply eat less. It sounds a lot easier than it is but making small changes helps you adjust to a new lifestyle. Don’t think of this as a diet, think of it as a new life. Instead of eating foods high in sugars, white flour and saturated fat, go with fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, fish, lean meats, nuts and beans. In addition to eating less, you also need to exercise more. Start off at 1-2 times per week and work your way up to 3-5 times per week.
Don’t make all of these changes at once or you won’t be able to properly adjust to them. Generally, eating healthier foods will decrease your calorie intake. Compare a doughnut to an apple and you’ll see that healthy foods are lower in calories. You can find some more information at the Straight Health Forums – http://forums.straighthealth.com
