overweight...?

Question

I am 5'9 a college athlete and I have always weighed around 138-140. I recently started an internship and I have gained weight I now weigh 145. I gained it all in my butt and legs, could this have to do with sitting all day behind a computer. I work out 6 days a week for 1 and a half hours, but I would like to be back to my original weight, in about 10 days, is this possible? and am I overweight at 145? Thanks so much for the help and advice...

Answer 1

I don't think your overweight at all! It sounds like you may have put on a little weight from being less active than you were before.

If you want to go down to your original weight it will probably take longer than 10 days - my guess is probably a couple of months. I would try to get a little more active by parking farther away from work, taking a walk at lunch time, mowing the lawn, roller blading around the neighborhood - that kind of stuff.

Diet-wise you may need to re-examine your calorie intake and see if it has changed since you started working. You might need to take in less calories a while to up your weight loss.

Usually eating 2 hard-boiled or poached eggs for breakfast, having veggies or fruit as a mid-day snack, eating 4 ounces of lean meat for lunch (like chicken, halibut, or shrimp) with 2 cups of green salad (not iceberg or butter leaf lettuce), or other green veggies like broccoli, green beans, spinach; and doing the same thing for dinner will reduce your calories enough to trigger some weight loss. Up your essential fats to help you burn fat by using olive oil for cooking and salads, and taking a tablespoon or two of flaxseed oil. And don't eat any sugar, including the artificial sweeteners - the only one to use is Stevia - none of the others are good for you. Remember to drink lots of water - 8 to 10 cups a day.

I have a recipe for a three day de-tox that helps your body drop weight a little faster if your interested. Contact me and I'll give you the recipe.

I dont think you are overweight compared to the BMI chart...but if you work out that much you should be seeing some results. I only work out 3 times a week for an hour and a half. I have hips and a** to. I kinda want to slim it down a lil more but guys love curves in womans now a days. I say keep the phatty if you got it!!

Answer 3

I don't think you're overweight. You might want to check to see what your weight should be but since I'm 5'8 and 145 lbs is the minimum weight that I should be at then, I don't think you're overweight. As for getting to your original weight in 10 days, I think it is possible.

I found this awesome product that actually worked for me. It has the most extensive workouts and nutrition guidelines that I have ever found. I have tried so many diets and exercise programs. This one is different because it combines fitness, nutrition and mind set training that also teaches you how to keep the weight off. You can do the workouts at home. There are are different workouts for each of the 90 days. It can be weight resistance, static stretching, dynamic stretching or a combination.
The nutrition guidelines teach you what to eat at the right time of day so that your body is in a constant state of high metabolism (even while you sleep.) There are no pills, potions, gimmicks to this. Is is all scientific based. It costs $199 for the entire system(worth 2 million in my mind)I lost 40 lbs of body fat in 2 months!!If you would like more information on where I got this product, email me at [e-mail]

Answer 5

At 145lb, you are not overweight in the slightest, in fact that is considered an ideal weight for your height.

If you feel you still would like to lose 5-7lb, this will take about 15-20 days.

Good luck : )

Answer 6

Well of course you can, if you really want to. Cut out all bread, drinks, and sweets. Eat salads, fruits and drink water. I know if I can lose 12 lbs in 11 days you can lose those few pounds. But do it the right way, no crashing.

If you are muscle bound, then you don't have a problem. I'm 5'2" and when I weighed 145 everyone though I weighed 115, my job kept me fit.

Answer 7

Weight can fluctuate, I wouldn't worry about it. You are not overweight. When you were at 140 did you think you were pushing it? Everyone gains weight. It's all about diet and exercise. Maybe at work you can use the stairs instead of the elevator, or try to find other ways to stimulate your body while you are at work.

Answer 8

You want to lose five pounds in 10 days and you're an athlete? Obviously you're not a wrestler - those folk know how to drop or gain five pounds overnight! Maybe you should check with them.
I'm 5'11" and 207 ... you're just sitting more than you used to and probably not eating as healthy as you should. Review what you're eating and how much. I bet that is the key to your gain.
