Tips for losing 44lb in 4-5 months (2lb per week)? |
Hey! Well here is my story. I'm 19, in 6-7 weeks I have lost 18lb (From 216lb to 198lb). I just stopped drinking sodas and eating junk food, I'm drinking plenty of water (well, that's if 6 daily cups are enough), and I'm eating 4 times per day (I'm trying to eat 1800-2000 calories per day, but I really don't count calories). In the last week and a half I haven't lost a pound (maybe 1). I think I have a realistic goal: I want to lose in average 2 pounds per week in the next 20 weeks (to reach my goal of 154lb) Also, I haven't exercised at all but I have an exercise bike (I don't have the time to go to a gym or walk but I can find time to use that bike). Should I use it everyday? 30 min, 1hr, 1:30hr? How many calories should I burn exercising? Should I cut the calories I eat? Should I eat more times per day? Any experience/tips are helpful. For my own health, I really want to reach my goal in 4 to 5 months. Thanks for your answers!. You need to eliminate about 3500 calories to lose 1 pound. This should be done with a low calorie diet and exercise. So if your goal is 2 lbs per week that would be 7000 calories per week or 1000 calories per day. In other words you should eliminate 1000 calories per day. So if you normally eat 2000 calories per day, you should try to cut down to 1400-1600 per day. In addition you should burn an additional 400-600 through calories with your cardio/exercise routine. This can be done in any combination, whatever works best for your body. Stay away from soda and juice and drink plenty of water. Also in addition to the bike you should tone your muscles using weights or resistance training. Try to switch your routine up often because your body may get used to a certain routine and get stuck at one weight. There are many good exercise programs that come on tv daily. My personal favorites are Denise Austin on lifetime and Gilad's Bodies in Motion on Fit tv. Good Luck!! Continue with the less soda and junk. Then try to find time to work the bike (45 min a day), do sit-ups and crunches (100 each per day), and some push ups (50 per day) to also help. You will be surprised with what that will do. And when you combine the less junkfood, you will be able to keep that wieght off! GOOD LUCK!! Also know, that when you start sit-ups your abs are going to swell up too make you look even bigger because what you are doing is ripping the muscle. But, after a couple days they will flatten out and become less swollen. This is what I do, and ever since I started I have been firming up allllll over, and I really feel great!: 1)Pilates (45 min) M,Tu,W,Th,Fri,Sat 2)Cardio (jogging on a treadmill for 30 minutes at 5mph) M,W,F,Sat 3) 1200 calories per day (mostly in fruits and vegetables) 4) Drinking lots of water It's as simple as that! If you want to use the bike you can do that instead of the treadmill. I use the Denise Austin Pilates for Every Body dvd at home in the mornings. I hope this helped you! Good luck with everything! Eat something (like a snack of fruit or veggies) every 3-4 hours while awake, exept 3 or 4 hours before you go to bed. Eat breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Eating every 3-4 hrs keeps you motabolism going, and breakfast gives it a jump start in the morning. I'm smart like that. asuming you are average height, you only need to lose about 15-20 lbs maximum.. try this: First thing- don't change how much you eat (unless it is WAY WAY to much), start out by changing what you are eating. If it comes in a diet option, try it. If you are drinking 1% milk, try skim (or the next percentage down), avoid juice (liquid calories are way to easy to consume and hard to get rid of). Second thing- Watch out for when you are eating these things, often times it is better to have smaller meals and snack throughout the day. Third thing- NEVER EAT FAST FOOD. It is essentially a slow acting poison on your body and can lead to more health problems than you can think of. Fourth thing- if you don't exercise, start out going for walks in the park or somehting, then bring it up to a light jog (once you are comfortable), then slowley bring up the intensity. Fifth thing- Evaluate everything you put in your mouth, (i.e. avoiding higher fat meats like ribs, pork.. try fish instead or dear or chicken... then general meat rule is that the fewer legs it had as an animal, the better it is for you). Also, think about what goes into you ask yourself, "Should I be eating this?" Sixth thing- You don't have to be doing all this 100% of the time, treat yourself, but recognize your priorities when it comes to it and don't let "treating yourself" get out of hand. |
