Losing weight in 2 months?

Question

Hi, I'm going to Japan this summer, and I want to look good, and slim.

I'm pretty slim already, although, I do have a big belly bulge, and back/arm/thigh fat that I want to get rid of.

I have been binge eating for a while, but I'm going back on track, trying to eat atleast 1300 calories a day, while eliminating most junk food.

I do elliptical about 2-3 times a week for 11/2 hours and I do weight lifting just a little.

Do you think I will be able to get my slim figure back at this rate? I'm 5"2' and I currently weight 100-103 ish, and I want to get rid of the excess fat I ahve.

Answer 1

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:)

When anxiety, fear, loneliness, anger, guilt or any uncomfortable emotion becomes too difficult to control, food provides a powerful distraction.

Food changes the chemical balance in the body. some foods increase endorphin levels, which in turn creates a sense of happiness or contentment. We associate being full with comfort. Fullness increases comfort, which counteracts negative emotions.

And if a person eats past fullness to discomfort, the physical sensation distracts the mind from other problems. Eating also takes time, time that might otherwise be spent thinking negative thoughts.

Of course, afterwards, we feel guilty and then go on a new diet or fast or get involved in a heavy exercise routine to try and fix the heavy load of calories consumed. But what most of us find out is that this is a continual cycle that will appear again in hours,days,weeks or maybe even months from now.

Please take the time to go to your local library and get a book on eating disorders to help yourself with this problem.

Answer 4

Try varying your exercises. If you do the same exercises all the time, your body gets use to them and they stop being as effective. So maybe trade the elliptical workout for pushups or dance or something else for a few days and then go back to it. Or increase the resistance on the machine to make it harder. You should feel the difference a few days after the change up.
