Question

I am a mother of 3 and I go to school full time. My problem is motivation. I was thinking to try the south beach diet. I need help!!

I am 130 and 5'4 and i want to go back down to 118.

Answer 1

Baby,
You need to just watch what you eat and exercise. Those fad diets do take the weight off but in the end it just comes back. Invest in a nice local gym and start a weightlifting and cardio program. Want motivation? Find a friend to join and workout with.

Answer 2

I want to lose weight from the same areas. I tried the South Beach (along with a lot of other diets) and I lost a few pounds, but ended up gaining back the weight.

I think the whole concept of a "diet" is too restrictive - like if you love eating bread and pasta, but are on a diet that completely cuts out carbs, you're going to lose motivation after a while. I'm giving this a shot now - just eat healthy! Plenty of veggies, fresh fruit, fish and lean meat, whole grains and water. If you eat a "bad food" like a muffin, just balance it out by eating light the rest of the day, or go to the gym.

Exercise as much as possible - maybe go the gym in the morning, or go for a long walk when you get home.


Good luck!

Answer 3

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

"Diets" work but dont keep the weight off after you loose it. All you have to do is change your eating habits and work out. But do it in a way that you can stick to it. Dont try and loose the weight quickly either. It took however long to put on the weight, it'll take a while to take it off.

Try eating smaller portions of food. Or try and eat like 6 mini meals a day. And whatever you do...DONT eat past 8pm. Cardio works best on getting weight off.

Answer 5

unfortunately we cant "target" fat in any specific areas - you can only spot gain muscle. the only way to go is body fat percentage reduction.
find daily calorie intake calculator, enter your stats and find maintenance intake- take off 400-600cal and you will lose eating that much a day.
use fitday.com to track your intake
eat 5-6 small meals a day -make healthy food choices - complex carbs, lean protein, healthy fats, dietary fiber (5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day) etc.
cardio is the only fat burning exercise, 4-6 times a week for average of 45min, light weight training a few times a week
at least 8 glasses of water a day
no candy, junk/fast food, fried food, nothing made out of white flower, no processed foods, no sodas

Answer 6

You could try jogging its fun when you have your headphones in and make you feel good about yourself as you don't feel like your doing nothing to lose the weight you want to lose and if you slipped at lunch and had a chocolate bar you don't have to worry just add another 10 minutes to your jog.
