How did you or any of your friends loose weight? Do You know an amazing weight loss story?
Any exercise routines? Any pills? Any drinks? Any diets? Recipes? Things that work for overweight females.
Errrr. I went from 160 to 120. First step was incorporating exercise into my routine. Just exercise alone I dropped from 160 to 140, without changing diet. I actually recommend this because it gets you into the habit of exercising. Exercise = LIFT HEAVY. A few days of cardio and a few days of weight training. You won’t bulk up (went from size 14 to size 10). Moves included rows, pushups, bicycle crunches, supermans, deadlifts, squats, lunges. 3 sets of 8-12. I LOVE STEP. Low impact, can be low or high intensity. I took classes at my college gym (loved it so much I became an instructor), but you can get routines from youtube for free.
To lose the last 20 lbs (down to a size 6), eat clean. Lots of veggies, saved junk food for once a week treats, only whole grains, snack on fruit and nuts and seeds. Watched portion sizes. I couldn’t do the eat multiple times a day thing, it was easier to eat three squares. No soda (I used to not care, but now I HATE soda, only drink it when I get the vapors…yea, I get the vapors once in a while, like twice a year…I love that I get such an old, funny ailment). If I want to change up the drinking water thing, drink tea of very diluted juice. Only eat junk food you make at home (so…I learned how to bake. If you need recipes, check out food.com and read the reviews. When making donut holes, fry on LOW temp, not on french fry temp). Splurge once a week.
I’m not saying that I didn’t eat cleanly when I was exercising, but I started to pay attention to portion sizes. I pretty much ate good food, but A LOT of it. If you’re hungry, drink tea. I tend to eat only when I’m hungry now, so sometimes I’ll eat 4 times a day, other times once a day…LISTEN to your body.
Something that really does work > eat lots of fruits and vegetables. a salad everyday for lunch with a low cal dressing, fruit for snacks, some grilled or oven baked (light or no breaded) fish for dinner.. oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast.
Go on a jog, or start with a walk and work your way up to a run. Be aware of what you consume calorie wise. If you burn more calories than you eat, you lose weight. simple as that. 1 pound of body fat is 3500 calories. one mile (average person) burns about 100 calories running.
most fruits and vegetables are negative calories, which means they take more calories to digest and chew than the actual output what goes into the body. So when hungry, munch on celery or cucumbers or an apple and have as many as you want, as these have no fat .
drink water, and only water. you can get alot of un needed calories just by drinking pop and other drinks!
good luck!
