I need to lose weight ? -

I m 5 9 165 lbs. That IS in healthy range, but it s at the top of the healthy range. I want to get healthier. I m getting married in October and I want to look my best, but that isn t the only reason I want to lose weight. I want to generally be healthier. WE both need to lose weight.We don t have money to join a gym or join any kind of weight loss program.Any easy cheap suggestions to lose weight would be great!We both want to get healthier!

Invest in a bike and you and your hubby-to-be can ride together, at least 30 minutes a day. Cut the JUNK!!!... Most of all, excuses are made by those who don t want to push themselves. Talk to a nutritionist and/or fitness instructor on some easy exercise routines. i say you use what you have at home like do 3 sets of 10-12 reps curling a gallon of water, be creative. Daily chores around the house is a great calorie burner like vacuuming, washing the car, gardening, It all takes time and patience...

Besides finding other exercises that you are interested in doing, the other thing you can do is change the way you eat.Some ideas:1) Use smaller plates. (Get seconds if you want, but having the initial small plate may signal to your brain that you are fuller!)2) Portion control (don t let your stomach decide when you are full.3) Eat for fibrous food (like green veggies) or use a fiber supplement.Also with exercise -- try walking to do some of your chores instead of your car and also if you have a bike that should be easier on your ankles.If you live in a warm area, try to get outside and not veg :-)GOOD LUCK!!!

Make some dumbbells out of water bottles and use sandbags to exercise with.
