Answer 1

It is all about calories in and calories out. I went through this exactly and here is the plan I followed and it worked. Good luck!

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem.

Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices

Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again.

Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Answer 2

You're body is probably in starvation mode and storing any calories possible.

Try eating tiny meals throughout the day. It might be beneficial in your case to count calories and portions for a while.

Eating one meal a day also causes your metabolism to slow. If its been 13 years since your daughter was born i will guess that you've hit the 30 year mark, which means it has naturally begun to slow, compound that effect with your eating habits and voila, you've shot yourself in the foot.

If it were me, i woud invest your money in a gym membership and trainer for a few weeks. They Y is a nice place to start. Just to get yourself going. Its a load cheaper than surgery, and it will help you get set up right.

I'd also seriously talk with your doctor about how many calories you can take in to stave off starvation, but not cause weight gain. And then get those calories from the right foods. Lean meats, healthy pastas, good veggies, and pleanty of fruit. all in moderation. You can have variety, and still reach your goal.

I'd also take a b-6 vitamin, it will help boost your metabolism and engery, and make sure you're taking a multi-vitamin, with enough calcium.

If you cant go the gym, start jogging. or walking. and weight training at home. dont do all weights all the time, but enough to build some muscle. Muscle not only burns fat while idle, but your body has to pick up your metabolism to keep up with them. Once you build those muscles you want to make sure you're using them in some sort of increased heart rate exercise... such as jogging. A womans heat rate must be up for 20 minutes before her body even begins to burn calories. Keep that in mind. a strong twenty minute walk followed by some sprinting, or a few minutes of light jogging can do wonders.

Give any new routine about a month or so before you plan to see results. If more than a month or two goes by without any change at all, step it up, or find a new routine. Doing the same thing over and over and not getting any results its insanity.

another tid bit- for your age, i would break my work out up to twice a day. Do some weights and jogging/walking in the am, and then in the later afternoon. It'll help boost that metabolism even more. And remember to stay active through out the day. As much as possible. Leave the car and walk, take two trips to do what you could in one. That sort of thing.

Answer 3

Not eating may be part of the problem. Your body does not know when you are going to eat so it is trying to store as much as possible. I would suggest eating small meals about 3-5 times a day. Make sure that you are not eating junk food or pre-prepared foods. Stick with fresh fruits and veggies, no white bread, some protein (fish, chicken, turkey). And continue your workouts.

Good luck.

Did they test your thyroid? That exact thing happened to me, and it turned out it was my thyroid.
Also, what kind of workout do you do? Does it have cardio? If by chance you are weightlifting, but nothing else, that could be your problem. Either way, if your sweating like a dog, that means you are working out right..
