weight prob?

Question

I want to lose weight and keep the "good figure". I'm a bit large and I think now is the time for change...any recommendations? No fuzz please.....

I'm thinking of daily routines that could help me lose weight....help is in dire need

Answer 1

exercise

drink a lot of water and forget about beer, sodas...,

don't eat too much fat and sugar, eat vegetables and fruits, cereals and forget about chocolate, cakes, pies, french fries, sweets...

the less heavy food is carrot.

try to sleep well because it's important but around 7-8 hours a night will do, don't oversleep like 12 hours during the weekend because sleep does no good for the weight.

take a walk outside everyday for around 30 minutes, walking in the fresh air is good not only for the weight but also for your mental.

During the weekend or any day off you could have a schedule like this :

Get up at 8.30, shower, eat some cereals, drink water and some OJ if you like it, do something relaxing like watching tv because exercising just after eating can make you sick.
Then at around 9.30 go for a run for about 30 mins, come back and shower, do something else that you like.
You can also go to the gym or have some stuff at home like those bikes that don't move (sorry English isn't my language), you can do that with a tv in front of you (what I do) so you don't feel like it's too 'painful'.
At lunch eat some vegetables with some meat but not too much meat.
In the evening go for a walk.

Something important, NEVER just stop eating for a while thinking you'll lose weight faster because then you'll gain even more weight when you start eating again.
It's no lie. When you don't eat your body takes everything it needs inside and it makes you weak, your body finds a new way to function and when you eat again it's confused and you end up gaining weight.

And even if some might talk about pills to diet, it's not the right solution and most of the time it doesn't even work so it's a waste of money.

Also, the important is to do things for yourself and not someone else and to feel good in your head and body !
I just mean 'think about why you want to lose weight', like is your weight life threatening or for other reason ?

and remember, your weight doesn't make your personality, who you are, the real person/beauty is inside, what everyone should see

Hope this helps, good luck !

Answer 2

Claire's suggestions above are on the money. Bear in mind that the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in. I'd also suggest a strength training program (i.e. lifting light weights for all of your major muscle groups in order to build muscle mass). Maybe start by purchasing some light (read:5-10 pound) weights that you can lift with your arms, chest, and perhaps even your legs.

The reason for this is that muscle burns fat 24/7, so the more muscle you have, the more fat you can burn - even while you sleep.

Answer 3

You're right about daily routines. It's what you do every day that defines your shape. Serious advice, join weight watchers, or if the meetings aren't your thing, do it online or get the CD. It's by far the easiest way to reorganise your eating and keep the weight off for good.

Good luck
