29 years old and fighting weight?

Question

I have been battling my weight problem since my first child 11yrs ago. I have tried many diet plans and nothing has worked. I am very active with work and all my kids. I do alot of walking, running (chasing kids) lifting ect. i even changed what i eat. Sometimes i think that maybe i'll never be thin again. could someone give some ideas of what i can do?

Answer 1

many people cant lose weight because they are undereating which slows down metabolism and it doesnt want to let any of fat go instead it starts storing all the calories it gets in fat reserves.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

This is a common problem. I use to be able to eat anything and everything without gaing an ounce. Unfortunately, after I turned 30 that all changed. Now all I have to do is look at food and I gain weight. lol

Sounds like since you're 29, you may have the same problem as me.

My metabolism just doesn't work like it use to. Over the last 3-4 years I have gained about 50 pounds. I struggled real hard and lost 20 and have another 30 to go. Unfortunately, I got to a stand point and no matter what I did I couldn't lose anymore weight.

Like you, I am extremely active and eat healthy. I go to the gym at least 5 days a week and watch what I eat, but still NO more weight loss.

Here's the GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!

A couple of weeks ago I heard about a weight loss drug called phentermine 37.5mg from a girl who lost about 25 pounds in 2 months using it. Her cousin lost about 50 pounds in 3 months using phentermine 37.5mg.

Naturally I was interested in phentermine 37.5 mg and began to do some research on it. After my research I decided to give it a try. My goal is to lose about 25-30 pounds.

I ordered my phentermine (37.5 mg) on 4/19/07 from a website called US-Pills.com. I received my order in 6 days, 4/25/07. They do have express shipping if you want to receive your order sooner. I paid $199.00 for 90 pills, which is a 3 month supply. I know that sounds expensive, but I checked NUMEROUS web sites and this site seemed to have the best prices and also seemed to be a legit site. If you can get a prescription from your doctor it would be a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, my doctor refused to provide me a prescription because she said I was not obese and she only will prescribe phentermine to obese patients.

I've been taking my phentermine (37.5 mg) since 4/26/07 and I can tell already that it's working!! Here are some of my results so far. I feel like I'm melting. My closes are fitting loser and when I look at myself in the mirror after I get out of the shower I look smaller.

My phentermine came with instructions, which instructed me to take 1 pill per day in the morning 30 minutes prior to breakfast. I take my pill as soon as I get up and go to the gym about 30 minutes later. I feel so energized and have the best workouts then I have had in a long time. I am able to work out longer and harder. I eat my breakfast when I get home from the gym. I'm not hungry all day and have no cravings for sweets or bad foods like I normally would before I started using phentermine. Because I no longer have the bad cravings I eat healthy small meals throughout the day. Since I'm not hungry anymore, I'm probably consuming about 800-1000 calories per day. The only side effect I have experienced so far is dry mouth. The dry mouth causes me to drink a ton of water, which is great anyway for weight loss success. I'm now drinking about 80 ounces of water a day. Before phentermine I had to force myself to drink water and only drunk about 20-30 ounces a day.

I'm very excited about this product. I believe I finally found something that will help me reach my weight loss goal. In just 6 days I have lost 6 pounds!!!!!

I help this was helpful to you. Good luck!!
