I started a new job a year ago and all I do is sit at a desk and type all day long. I commute to work, also. This puts me sitting on my butt for about 10.5 hours a day, whereas in my old job, I ran the floor all day long at Walmart. I have gained 15 lbs. since I started this job, beings that I am not running all over the place anymore. Any ideas how to lose some of this weight? I am 5'11 tall and weigh 165lbs. One year ago I weighed only 150lbs. I never had to exercise before, but I also never sat on my butt all day either. No smart *** answers please. I know I need to do some type of exercising!! My extra weight is in my belly, butt and thighs. Thanks to all with good advice!!

I am tired all the time...I'm thinking it's becuase I am not active enough. I seem to never get enough rest, even with goin to bed at 9pm and riding at 6am.

Try working out during your lunch break. Give it a month and re-evaluate. Modify your intake and work on your expediture.

I feel you. I took an office job almost 2 years ago. I like my job but it is VERY sedentary. I've always worked as a waitress before; running constantly. In less than 2 years I have gained almost 40 pounds. Now I am working to get it off. This is not easy.
I have started working out 3 days a week (entirely cardio right now treadmill and elliptical), hardest part is NO MORE SNACKS AT MY DESK, I drink lots of water, only diet sodas (no more than 2 per day), and I pack my lunch usually salads with lite dressing. So far I have lost 10 pounds, only 30 more to go (to get back to my starting point). I also eat a small breakfast (low sugar oatmeal usually) and for dinner I keep my portions in check. This is tough, I love to eat and I love to cook.

workout isn't very sensible at weightloss till you're pushing your self difficult for numerous hours an afternoon. that's a factor of the secret of the main important Loser television instruct and why they are able to lose 8-20 lbs each week. once you're a teen, attempt lowering on junk nutrition. pass soda or p.c.. nutrition plan soda. p.c.. hen & fish & greens extra often. p.c.. smaller quantities of starches like pasta, rice, potatoes & bread. Ask your mom to make salads for dinner (or lead them to your self and help her out!) remember you will possibly desire to burn 3500 energy to lose a million pound. You did not say how lots you weigh, yet determine a one hundred fifty lb guy or woman could burn 2 hundred energy in 30 minutes of swimming and it takes practically 3 weeks to lose a million pound. remember that it is swimming laps for the completed 30 minutes or cheerleading for 30 minutes. not enjoying, waiting, speaking to pals or doing some thing extra straightforward. once you're doing much less artwork, you're burning much less energy.

I'd take a balanced diet and do floor exercises. Also take stairs. Not lifts. If you don't have time to take walks. Or go to a gym.
Both are better.
Takes longer to lose than put on.

It sucks but you have to eat less...to adjust to the amount of exercise you are getting. your tummy will growl but keep busy...maybe it will go away when it thinks you arent listening
