Do I have to start running to continue to lose weight?

i've been eating extremely healthy lately, almost no candy, no fast food, only healthy foods. i've also been active. i went from like 175-180 down to 165 over a couple of months.
if i want to continue to loose weight and slim up, will i have to start doing more vigorous workouts, like running?

Running is good but it isnt needed. Stay eating healthy and active, maybe lift a little weights, play some sports or something with friends. That should be enough to keep you slim.

I would love to be 165 lbs. Why would you want to get any lighter than that?

because i still have a little bit of fat in my stomach and the area right above the hips, next to the stomach.
im 5' 11". i use to be really skinny when i was a little kid, but then my parents bought me a nintendo 64 and i gained weight. i've never really been fat or chubby, i've just had a little bit of extra weight on me. i've always said that im going to lose it, i try, but give up...now that i have quit smoking, i figure that i can run without my lungs killing me.
it's all a personal thing. not even an image thing. i liked how i used to fell back in the old days.

that's my goal, 180 down to 160 ish.
I'm quitting smoking also, and hope to be able to exercise for a reasonable amount of time for a change.

Vigorous cardio is an excellent way to burn extra calories & slim down. Interval workouts were effective for me, and they are a good way to build endurance, as well. I did a 3 min walk/1 min run cycle for 20-30 mins. per day, but you could do intervals on a bike or swimming or ??
Additionally, building muscle raises your metabolic rate, so you will burn extra calories 24/7. I did a split routine (upper body/lower body) 6 days a week to lose weight & build lean muscle mass. Once you are at your goal weight, you can cut it to 3 days (full body) for maintenance.

I'm glad you are eating healthier! you will thank yourself when all your fast food freinds feel like shit all the time.
i have been cooking healthy and lost some extra pounds. my intention was just to eat better foods so i'd feel better and have more energy.
Diet Goals -eat lower on the food chain to reduce food miles (pollution related to transportating food) -reduce toxin burden from preservatives, radiatives, animal hormones -eat wide variety of grains and plants and stuff... lots of nutrients, gotta get as many as you can! -learn how to cook
my hair and skin have become much healthier as well!
during the summer i grow alot of vegitables and once youve had homegrown foods you see them in a whole new way.

Plus if you run, you gain endurance. And when you gain endurance you gain the ability to outrun people who want to arrest you.

no worries about taking it slow at first. once you feel out your endurance and speed, you will know where your body's limits are, and when to push them.
take it step by step, but go higher each day.

Running helps so much. I run 2 mi. on a treadmill every other day with inclines. This will keep you in shape and feeling great. The only other exercises I do are sit ups and push ups, a variety of stretches, and my 1.5hr drum practice.
I'm 6'3" 165lbs.

not everyone needs a doctor, though discretion is certainly advised.

i'm 5'9", i gained a lot of weight freshman year (also started smoking that year). I got up to like 175 from 145, and didnt like it.
finally after forever, i got a bike trainer so i could ride indoors, i rode for an hour a day, in two blocks of 30min separated by a little weight-lifting inbetween the two sets. I ate only lunchmeat sandwitches on wheat and took vitamens & shit.
6 weeks later, i was down 30lb. Perhaps a little more drastic than necessary but it felt great.
Once i was down to minimal body fat, ive been eating right and working out ever since, and i'm up to 160 with only minimal fat gains.

alright, im at 160 now...sometimes im like 157 and sometimes im like 162....my license says that im 5' 11" but i think that im really 5' 10".
i've been walking for 10 minutes, then jogging non-stop for 40 minutes, then walking for 10-40 minutes. and on my days off(3 a week) i walk for an additional 60 minutes.
my target goal weight is 150.
with this kind of exercise routine and a low calorie diet, how long should it take to achieve that goal?

Certainly would speed it up
You should run anyway, see some new sights, you don't feel nearly as bad about your drug habits as you would otherwise, and it's very head clearing
