I want to lose 30 lbs by May... (at home) what should I do?

Question

Im young so I cant join a gym and I want to do this on my own and I need some advice

Answer 1

Walk/run(cardio), start out with as much as you can and add on. You should be doing 3 miles a day soon! The weight will just fall off!!! Have fun!

Eat several times a day and snack often(at least kind of healthy). Dont eat a big meal at night and never eat after 7:30pm!!


Good Luck!!

Answer 2

First of all, cut out all your unneccessary calories, anything you eat that is "junk". Eat your veggies, fruits, whole grain breads and meats. Try your best to limit your intake of "junk" snacks. That is not to say you can't snack, just eat something healthier. You should have something that's "junk" once in a while (so that you don't binge) like maybe a small portion once a week.
For exercise, you can walk, run, or use a fitness video. They have a lot at stores like Taget, Wal-Mart, or if you are allowed to you can order them online at collage (just type in collage video or collage on your search bar) If you tell your parents you want to use them for fitness and you want to get into shape, they might help you by purchasing the video or dvd on their credit card and you could pay them back.
You could also buy some dumbbells from sporting goods stores such as Dick's. Target will also have dumbbells. Use a video for instruction, there are a alot of good ones out there, and they are easier to follow than instructions on paper.
there are a lot of things you can do at home, without joining a gym, to get into shape. Good luck!

Answer 3

The best is excersice. If you can run that's the fastest way to loose. Don't try to do much too quickly start out very slow and work up from there. I started out by jogging for 5 minutes and then walking briskly for 3 to 4 minutes and then back to jogging. well you get the idea. Also, if you need a diet check out lowcarbfriends.org
Be sure to discuss this with your mom and she can probably help you with the food choices. Just go there and read as much as you can and ask questions. Good luck!

Answer 4

Running is always good if you can't join the gym, all you need is a good pair of running shoes...Make sure they're fit for running or else you'll get injured. Start out small and build up. maybe you can try walking + running first..If you set your goals too high initially you'll just end up wanting to give up.
What you eat is very important aswell, don't starve yourself!! since you're young I suspect you're still growing...You won't grow properly if you starve! Just eat healthy, try and cut down on fatty/sugary/salty stuff but don't completely eliminate them, you'll just crave them more and believe it or not your body does need a bit of junk food at times

Answer 5

You don't have to stop eating certain foods or anything, just excersise atleast 30 minutes to 1 hour a day, 3 days a week and control the portions of food you eat. Because most people think that should stop eating certain foods. But it really depends on the portion sizes of the foods . Good luck!!!!

Answer 6

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 19 inches in 9 days. I continued and lost 29 pounds in a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc…. These toxins enter our bodies and get stored in our fat cells. To shrink the fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. My skin has improved from the cleansing. You can get more info at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647. It is pricey but worth it! I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Give it a try and good luck! http://thebestcleansingdiet.com

Answer 7

You should buy a couple of workout tapes that look like fun, if you like dancing, try one of those, or cardio, step aerobics, whatever interests you. It's a cheap way to get started and some of those tapes are really FUN! Good luck.

Answer 8

keep to exercise at a gym and reduce your meal. Drink a lot of water is the best
