Answer 1

Put on a pair of sneakers and take a walk! You may just be able to do 10 or 15 minutes at first, but stick with it. You'll feel great when you are done and ,over time, will be able to go for longer.

As for food, try to eat a serving of carbs, protein and veggies at each meal. 5 mini meals works for me. Since I began doing that, I've really noticed an increase in my energy level!

You might want to check out some web sites for inspiration or workout buddies - http://www.readytosweat.com/ is one.

You don't need pills...they don't work anyway! The first step is the hardest...I promise! Once you take it...you're on your way.

Good luck!

Ok first things first. Have you been to a Dr? The reason you have no energy could be because of something underlying. I was the same and found out I have a under active thyroid. I am on medication for the rest of my life and still don't have much energy so I started taking vitamins and drink energy drinks. They help as I am slightly over weight and needed to loose weight too. I have no money for the gym also so my best friend who also needs to loose weight and I go walking together with my 2 youngest and her youngest. I am having trouble losing the weight because of my thyroid but am at least getting fit and spending time with a friend. Cutting back on your foods and eating more salad is great but don't forget to eat your serves of veges and fruit a day as well as drinking plenty of water and keep your fluids up. I have also tried heaps of different diet pills and they don't work for me and they cost to much. Good luck and keep positive.

You might try just going on long walks daily until you get used to the work, and build up enough energy to do something like running, bike riding, swimming.. Yoga is great, and you can buy an instructional dvd for really cheap practically anywhere.
And so you know, just cutting back on the food doesn't make that much of a difference. You have to be eating the right kinds of food, like more raw foods/ vegetables less breads pastas and carbohydrates. They are the worst, and make losing weight really hard.

I know you said you don't have much money, but there is this one excersise program that is really amazing. Its called T-TAPP. the dvd ( basic plus workout) costs like $40, but it is worth it. In the first three weeks I lost 20 lbs!! And the workout is only about 15 minutes, and really easy. I did it every day for a moth, like a boot camp, but you might want to start off with just three times a week. You will be surprised at how much three times a week will boost your energy!
Look it up at www.t-tapp.com

Another thing.. try drinking a whole glass of water before every meal. It fills you up and you wont eat as much.

THE ZONE DIET!!! If you combine it with the T-Tapp you will be shedding weight so quickly you won't believe it! The Zone diet is really easy to follow and if you buy the first book, it really explains how which foods you eat can help or harm your body.

Losing weight is quite simple. You don't need to go to the gym if you can't afford it. Just take walk around your neighborhood. Even that will help you. The reason why you don't have energy is because you aren't exercising. After you go out and exercise a couple of times, you will feel better and have an easier time controlling your hunger. Don't force yourself to count calories. Just eat a wide variety of foods with colors and limit your fat intake. It is also better to eat 6 small meals a day than the regular 3. This way, your stomach will not crave food as much because it will be digesting something. It is not healthy to take pills. A healthy goal is to lose 1 pound a week. That way, your body can adjust slowly to the change without it thinking it is in survival mode. That way, you won't be as hungry. As you gradually increase your walking mode, try to start jogging slowly. It will help. Good luck!

Answer 5

All you need is 20 minutes a day for my idea to work. Start with walking around your block or whatever for 15 minutes a day. Power walk if you lack th energy to jog, if you are emberrissed for any reason, jog in place inside your own home. Drink PLENTY of water everyday. Think about what you're eating. Drop the breads, fatty meats and no pop. You don't have to just eat salads.. Just don't eat so many carbs and sugars.

Answer 6

You don't have to get an expensive gym membership to lose weight. There are a number things you can do at home to lose weight too, which is good for people who may be uncomfortable going to the gym. You can get work out dvds which aren't very expensive, you can do them on your own time and they usually aren't that long but as you get more in shape you can buy more intense ones. Also, you can do basic exercises such as wall sits, crunches/sit ups, squats, push ups, etc at home. You might have to invest in a few things such as hand weights and maybe a work out ball but they're pretty low cost. Good luck!

Answer 7

don't just eat salads, eat high protein low carb, females should get at least 60 grams of protein a day. and it's hard to get started working out, but once you start it gets easier really quick, and you will burn more fat just by increasing your muscle mass. just try to find an eating plan that is healthy and get in some sort of exxercise, even i f it is aerobics at home, but I recommend trying to get to a gym, some are cheap (I pay only $24 a month for two people). its a worthwhile investment, and you will feel alot better about yourself. don't resort to pills, they only work for a short time, if at all, and not that great either

Answer 8

try free trial memberships at a bunch of different gyms all around.. once your first one is up, go to a different one!! while you're there, go to see personal trainers and ask the pro's for advice. its the best thing you can do. also, do the simple stuff, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or riding your bike to get coffee instead of driving. when you think of eating a snack in front of the tv, instead, grab ice cubes and munch on those, it will keep you munching on things without actually taking in calories.

hope this helps!! -carly

Answer 10

Easy!! Get up 30 minutes before you usually do. Excersize, and eat at least 15 vegetables. (ex. 15 baby carrots.) And challenge yourself to 2 glasses of water each day.
that way, during the day, at least you'll have already eaten healthy foods!!
