20lbs by June? -

I know it s totally do-able. Im eating very healthy. No pasta, bread, potatoes. Veggies, fruits and lots of water. I exercise about an hour each night. Do you think if I start working out a little bit in the morning on my elliptical it will help some more. Say 10 minutes. I want to start taking some walks also. I was also thinking about investing in a stationary bike at the end of the month....what do you think?Is there anything I can do to boost my HEALTHY weight loss?Im 254.5 lbs. Thats down from 267.5 that I started from at the end of January. I just feel like ive hit a slump so early. Maybe its all in my head.....Any thoughts and tips will help.Thanks

Try the south beach diet.The first 2 weeks (or longer if you want to lose more weight)you can lose about 8-15 pounds or more.It s a low-carb diet and restrictive, but I ve heard really good news about it. My aunt lost a lot of weight on it.Then after Phase 1, you get to slowly add more carbs in. The good thing about it, is you can go back and forth between phases. Good luck and congrats on the weight loss!

That goal is achievable. I would recommend following an online weight loss program to lose weight. That way when you lose weight you will keep it off. I lost 40kg following a weight loss program by Australian Lifestyle Fitness http://www.alfitness.com.au

To lose weight (fat), include more fiberous slow digesting carbs, as opp to the fast ones, no white breads, fast foods, ketchups, sugar, only skim milk, not 2%, skim and whole grain non sweet cerial, whole wheat bread, buy some protein, include lean meats like ham, and other sources of protein, no red meats,multivitamin, calcium and vitamin d every 2 days, v8. Don t starve, eat small healthy meals, a lot of small meals opposed to a few bigger ones-- make sure is has at least 8-10 or more g, not too much protein, the body can only digest a certain amount at a time, avoid too many fruits, carbs and sugars, fiberous veggies, greens (no starches or potatoes) are good ,and no bbq sauce (unless used sparringly) and not too much salad dressing, before bed (2 hrs), eat something with protein, dont eat many carbs before bed. Eat some of that good cereal in the morning, you need carbs, just not too much, and the slow ones.Do crunches until you can not do anymore, jog stairs, be safe, warm up and sprint, short bursts of intense activity is very effective compared to long weak activity, just don t over do it, Jog stairs ;and also do some lunges until it burns, do this every day or 2 days, keep going and don t give up, same with eating, you need fat, so one fish oil daily, eat fish (not fried, be careful, very careful for bones, peanut butter on whole wheat (no jelly),which has protein, and dont worry about the fat in that, avocodos, has fat, good fat, eat it when your hunger cravings get you. when you do crunches, also twist on some to work your sides, keep tension on your abs.
