Healthy diet, good cardio and some weight training and you'll be dropping that weight like nothing!. But you have to stick to it, and there is no quick fix other than liposuction. Which i definately don't recommend, you can do it on your own without the need for that, but it will take work and time.

Eat healthy, that's the most important thing you can do, and live a healthy livestyle, if you can't at least do cardio 4-5 days a week.

Weight Training and Cardio. 20-30 min a day in the morning before breakfast at best heart rate for the person (can have a physician tell the person what's the best heart rate for loosing weight during cardio and if you keep within 5-10 points, you're on the mark). If you're not doing cardio in the morning before breakfast, then do it 2-3 hours after a meal, not earlier, and spend about 15 or so minutes doing light weights, doesn't have to be heavy weights, just light weights, lots of reps, then go do cardio for 20-30 min.

If you do cardio anytime besides morning before breakfast, it takes your body 20 or so min to start burning fat, that's why do the weight training first.

Cardio could be fast walking, cycling, running, treadmill, whatever is your favorite aerobic activity. If you do it at your recommended heart rate, you won't feel as exhausted after doing it and you will be burning fats, if you do it too far above the heart rate recommended you're burning sugar, too low, you're not burning anything.

Also, drink alot of water, 0.6 ounces times your body weight. I know it's alot, but everything is based on water in your body.

Another reason for weight training is not to put on muscle, but to tone, however, you also burn alot more fat during cardio if you have some muscle.

Fix your diet, if you're eating 2k calories per day, roughtly 230 carbs, 250ish protein and 15-40g of fat you're on the right track. However it's also best to spread it out between 5-7 meals, roughtly every 2-3 hours appart.

I am so sorry to hear that. I went through the same thing I weighted 125 before going on the shot and now I weight 155 after only one shot. Your doctor and my doctor both lied. I didn't gain too much weight, but I had other side effects that I will not discuss online. Let just say I got the shot in 2004 and I'm still trying to deal with the side effects. Please stop getting the shot and I promise you will stop gaining weight. Just to show you that this shot is no joke visit this website. PLEASE don't get the shot anymore and tell anybody you know not to get it I wish you luck.



I would also like to add that people are say not to eat as much it doesn't matter as long as you are on the shot you will still gain weight.

Our bodies act differently to medicines so where one doesnt put on, another can.

So your options would be to check the quantities you are eating, and reduce them. To fill you up, eat fruits and raw vegetablels.

Drink plenty of water, Start with drinking a glass of water every 15 minutes. This will not only clense your system - it will make your skin glow too. Increase the 'glass' as time goes on but not too soon - else you will get sick of it. It can be cold water or even warm water or even fruit juice.

With your baby, may be its not possible to go to a gym?? Try some exercises at home. Start with 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minites in the evening. If you dont have any machine or anyone to get advice from (about exercises) run in one spot. DONT go under a fan or rush for a bath - wait for abt a 10 minutes until you sweat out. But remember, if you start doing exericses and stop after abt two weeks, you will put on even more. So its better to continue steadily even at slow pace.

DONT go on crash diets because in a week or two you will be so depressed that you will break down and eat all things you shouldnt and put on twice as much!

Hope this will do for starters!!!

Good luck!

My wife had gone through some tough times with her weight and I have two suggestions for you. First, have your doctor check you thyroid t levels. If they are too low, you will not loose weight. this is a commonly mis-diagnosed condition. My wife actually had an over active thyroid that went misdiagnosed for three years.

If your t levels are ok, you can try what we are doing here. My wife and I increased the amount of fiber we eat to get filled up, exercise, and of course, no sweets and we limit our carb and fat intake. Drink that water too! This is the slow way, but it is coming off all the same.

Good luck

Eat more frequent meals but in smaller portion.Drink a lot of water(1-2 liters a day). It makes your skin glow and helps “flush out” bad things in your body.Have a combination of grains, dairy, and fruit for each morning.Don’t put salt on your food and exercise at least 3 times a week.Eat a variety of foods. If you eat the same thing every single day, your body will feel restricted.Enjoy the things you eat. Food is your nourishment, not your enemy.Eat healthy snacks and veggies.If you’re on a diet, have one day where you can eat anything you like. That way you won’t feel left out on other stuff.

Hi
This plan helped me work off the weight after I had my baby so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx
