If you are anything like me (and perhaps most people), counting calories will lose it s novelty after a while. I have never been overweight so to speak, but I recently (in Feb) was at my heaviest. I just woke up one day, and had made a concrete decision, I was discusted with my eating habits, and decided...no more cookies, no more sweets, and the MAIN thing that literally made the weight FALL OFF, was for me to stop eating at night. I was a chronic t.v. food person, and it was, no doubt, an addiction. I have a big sweet tooth, and, despite it s poor substituting qualities, I found sipping on diet Sierra Mist, helped to quench that craving. I didnt give myself a certain time I wouldnt eat after, but I cut back on carbs, and just ate dinner as my last intake of the evening. I swear... i was losing 2-3 lbs a week in the beginning. I have since lost 11 or 12 lbs, and am pretty close to the weight I was when I got married. And it goes without saying, get moving. I work out 3-4 days a week as well to stay toned and healthy.good luck girl!!
Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com
There is not fast way other wise everyone would be skinny. Go for tone, not just weight loss. Simply exercise and eat less. Its the only thing that actually works!
A fun excersize routine is dancing. Each person should at least get 60 mins. of excrsize per day.
run, eat low
