If you want to lose 30 pounds you will have to put your butt to work. You cannot indulge in a couch potato lifestyle and expect to lose 30 pounds in 3 months. You have to get healthier eating habits and to start exercising. You have to work out, there is no way around it.
Losing 10 pounds every month is an achievable goal that is also very healthy. 10 pounds per month is a healthy weight loss progress. I know there are hundreds of quick weight loss diets and miracle pills that promise you will lose 30 pounds in 30 days and sometimes they promise you will lose even more fat faster. I' not saying they don't work because some do (on rare occasions most work) but what they don't tell you is that they won't help you maintain your new look.
You you have to choose which way you want to go. Do you want to lose weight fast, destroy your metabolism in the process and get even fatter later? Or do you want to lose weight at a slower pace, increase your metabolic rate, get healthier eating habits and keep your stunning looks forever. The choice is yours. I am going to teach you in this article the basics you need to know if you want to even stand a chance to lose 30 pounds.
You have to eat at least 3 meals per day, each at fixed time intervals. You have to create for yourself a meal schedule and do whatever it takes to respect it. In our hectic modern life we usually eat on the run which probably is why we are getting fatter and fatter. Also after each meal you should take a 10 minutes siesta to let the food settle down and the digestive process start. You should also eat 2 small healthy snacks between those meals.
Never ever starve yourself. The purpose of all the above mentioned meals is that of keeping hunger away all day long. Many people do the mistake of not eating anything all day long and at night they binge like mad. One meal per day is a super unhealthy eating habit. Eating just one meal per day slows down your metabolism and your body will to whatever it takes to store fat because it believes there is a hunger in the world. Giving your body food frequently it will start burning all those excess calories because it know there will be plenty more in the near future.
You should eat 4-5 times per day but you shouldn't eat a lot of food. You have to eat enough food to make the hunger go away without feeling stuffed. It is a delicate balance that you might not hit at first but in time you will be able to do it effortlessly. A good habit you should acquire is that of always leaving some food in your plate.
Eat smaller servings of healthier foods that nourish your body and don't fatten it up. I bet you can cut in half the size of your meals and you won' t feel hungry all day long. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Cook your own meals and avoid eating in restaurants or fast food places. You should also limit the intake of highly processed foods like cold cuts, pastries... basically anything that comes wrapped in a plastic package should not be eaten if you want to lose 30 pounds or more. The less processed the foods you eat are the more healthy and nonfattening they are.
When eating chew your food well and don't watch television or surf the web. When your eat your whole attention should be dedicated to the act and process of eating. If your mind gets distracted you won't notice when you had your fill and you don't need any more food. By chewing your food slowly and putting your fork and knife down between bites you will eat fat less food at each meal because you will notice faster when you are full.
A super simple but super efficient weight loss trick is that of drinking one glass of water when you feel hungry. Frequently our bodies mistake thirst for hunger. So when in fact all your body needed was a glass of water you gave him food. Since your body didn't request more calories it is forced to store those excess calories. Guess what your body will do with them. You guessed it, it will turn those excess calories into fat. I know people that lost a lot of pounds just by doing this little but powerful weight loss trick. Also remember to hydrate yourself by drinking at least 8-10 cups of water daily.
You have to start working out starting today. Set it as a goal to get more physically active daily. If you want to get a smoking hot body you have to work out. Who wants to have a skinny flabby body?! Yuck! You have to tone your muscles and sculpt your body.
Increasing your muscle mass should be your top priority, regardless if you are a woman or a man. Muscle help you burn more calories each and every day because they need more energy to function. Your body fat doesn't require almost any energy so it doesn't help you burn more calories. If you get more muscles it is almost impossible to stay fat because they will increase your metabolic rate. You will burn more fat even when you aren't doing anything. You should think about increasing your muscle mass as investing in a high yield assed over time. Your muscles will help you maintain your new stunning body with a minimal effort.
Find out new creative ways to include more and more physical exercises in your daily activities. Park your car further and walk. If you can, ditch your car for good the better. Walk up the stairs and go to your colleagues in person if you want to tell them something. Get a gym membership and go there for 3 times each week and workout for at least 1 hour. Go jogging 2 times a week for at least 45 minutes.
If you really want to lose weight super fast you should do first anaerobic exercises and then do aerobic exercises. This workout sequence maximizes the weight loss results that you get form your workout. You will burn more fat and build more muscles at the same time. A super combo that will melt the fat away super fast.
It might sound old fashioned but all you really need to do to lose 30 pounds in 3 months is eat healthy food and exercise more. This weight loss formula always never fails and it is also super healthy. The best part of this weight loss formula is that you get new healthy eating habits and you change your lifestyle, making it healthier. This way you will enjoy your new slender smoking hot body for longer and you won't have to work that hard to keep it.
What healthy weight loss tips do you know that will help the other readers lose 30 pounds in 3 months? I am super curious. Please share them in the comments below.
If i use this method, can i lose more than just 30 pounds? I want to lose 50 pounds.
Yes, you will just have to keep the diet for more than 3 months. Remember to exercise at least 3 times a week. I wish you good luck losing 50 pounds
Calorie shifting is another good method of losing weight. High success rate.
I've looked at a lot of other sites about ways to lose weight.
And this one best sums everything up:)
I'm currently attempting to lose 30lbs, my deadline is July.
I just turned 16 today.
I'm 5ft 3 and about 160lbs.
I know I'm overweight,and I'm trying my best to loose the 30lbs and be in a average weight of my height.
Your suggestions all sound do-a-ble.
Thank you and I'll try my best!
:)
I am 37 and have successfully lost weight before. I have packed on the pounds and now need to lose 30 pounds. Our lifestyle includes many diet sabotagers such as beer drinking and eating with friends every weekend. I want to cut out all cheating so I can do this weight loss quickly and successfully. Your advice is dead-on and I will get back with you as I go.
Hi! Great great site. It truly is inspirational :)
I'm a girl, 21 years old and not very fond of those love handles ;) So.. I have decided to lose 30 pounds in three months and luckily I dropped by this page.
This Monday, on April the 12th I am going to begin this detoxing and starting to look for results. Wish me luck! :D
I'll keep you updatet.
147,4 lbs - 67 kg
66,9 in/5'5 ft - 170 cm
I wish you lots of luck. Just make sure you lose weight in a healthy way. Don't let yourself get sidetracked by the latest fad diet or miracle weight loss pill. Can't wait to hear from you and how your weight loss journey went.
Your advice is spot on. I'm about to walk two miles today to go to a Subway shop and walk back. Veggie Delight, here I come! Also, I love water so the water trick is neat.
I'm 23 and 155 pounds. I would love to be 130 by July and I really think I can do it. You've inspired me :).
My biggest problem is snacking. I've tried having "healthy snacks" but it's hard to resist the pastries and chocolate. It has been ruining my weight loss efforts.
You should give EFT a try. A recent study showed that EFT con help you diminish the effect of your cravings or even eliminate them for up to 6 months. Pretty cool if you ask me.
I am 34 and just got back in the gym after about 4 years. it really tough but i am determined to lose the 30 lbs I put on. You site was motivating and helpful, just confirming alot of what I already know and then some..I was really surprised about the anaerobic excercise first! I have always done my 2.5 run first, then onto weights. I am going to switch it up for sure. Every little bit helps. Thanks!
5.3' 140 - And looking forward to posting my success and thanking you for the advice come July at my 120 mark!
I just read this yesterday, I'm about 140 pounds almost 50 and I'm 5 feet tall so I am DEFINITELY trying this. I am trying to get down to 110-120 before the next school year starts. Just one question, what do you suggest as a snack? Is Oatmeal to Go acceptable? Because I REALLY like it, even the ones with raisins (ew, raisins). I will be sure to tell you if this works for me. Very encouraging, I KNOW I can do this! :D
hi! im 20 years old 5'6 and 181 pounds 2 and 1/2 yrs ago i was 134 i would really like to be back to that weight i gained the weight through my pregnancy. i really found this article helpful im gonn start working on it today!
As long as you eat only one bar of Oatmeal to Go you should be fine. One bar contains 220 calories. Whole grain cereals are great for breakfast but you must make sure you don't overeat. If you do you are more likely to gain weight. I know this because I gained a couple of pounds because I ate too much whole grain cereals for breakfast with milk. This was the only change I made in my diet plan. So moderation is the key to healthy eating and losing weight.
The best snacks you can eat are fresh fruits and vegetables. Pack some fruits and vegetables you like and you will always be ready to fight hunger in a healthy way. Plus you get a minimum of calorie and lots of vitamins and minerals really cheaply.
Great site! I'm 16 years old, 5'9, and 205 pounds. Just last year, i was 175, but then i cut out most of my exercise because of a new job i started and because i am a video game addict. This site has inspired me to start exercising more often, and will definitely follow these tips! thanks!
I was wondering, the 2 snacks can they be like healthy bars or 100 calorie bars ? And how many calories a day I should eat ? 1000 or less ? Thank You !
The number of calories you should eat depends on many factors. The best way to make sure you get enough calories and still lose weight is by eating just enough healthy food to keep hunger away. The best low calorie foods are vegetables, fruits and white meat.
For the snacks you can eat anything that will make the hunger go away just as long as needed to reach the next meal. You shouldn't eat a snack instead of a meal.
hi! im 17 weigh 170 and am 5'3. 5 months ago i weighd 140. i liked my weight even though i was over weight :P Now Im practically Obese :( . My porblem is that i eat for emotional needs. i broke up with my bf 5 months ago so i went to food for emotional support :P .. can u gime some adive on how i can avoid eating for emtional needs !!
The best way that I have found to take control of my emotional eating is by channeling all my negative emotions into something useful. So instead of eating try listening to some music, taking a walk, practicing some kind of hobby or even working out. It is like the old advice that is given to smokers: when you feel the need to smoke chew a gum. It makes you stop smoking but you become a gum addict. So be careful what you choose as a substitute.
Im fifteen and around 140 and im 5'3.. i really want to lose thirty pounds so i can be average for my age and height.i have tried to lose weight, but it never seems to work. I exercise, but dont always eat right. I am not comfortable with my body at all. this reason is because i have stretch marks from being overweight. do you have any tips on how to get rid of them and help me lose weight??????
If you want to lose 30 pounds, even more or less weight, just follow the advice I gave you in the article above.
When it comes to getting rid of stretch marks I don't have a solution that works. I have some stretch marks too because I gained weight fast a long time ago and it too me a long time to get it off. I still have some stretch marks, but they are a lot smaller and less visible. Lasing weight has this effect.
I came to terms with my stretch marks and I consider them war scars from my battle against fat. I have searched for solutions but I wasn't able to find something 100% effective. If you do please get back to me because I am interested.
Hi, I am 18, 5'10" and I weigh about 180lbs. My goal is to lose thirty pounds this summer and to have a nice, slimmer, toned body when I go back to school in the Fall. I stumbled upon you site while I was looking for some tips. My plan is to cut back calories, drink nothing but water, and to not eat after about 7-8 pm. I do not normally eat breakfast but I am starting to grab a small bite of something to kick start my day. I really hope this works and I will inform you of when I lose that 30lbs.
I wish you good luck Kyle. I hope you will be able to lose 30 pounds. Please get back to me and tell me how it went. If you need any help send me an email.

I read the article above and it looks interesting I'm gonna give it a try, I'm 5'2 and weigh 160, I wanna get down to 130 because I know I'm never gonna be model skinny and I know at 130 i'll be happy with my weight and the way I look :) for exercise i'm planning to take my doggy on longer walks he usually goes on 10 minutes walks 3 times a day but i'm planning to take him out on 20 minute walks instead.. will that work??
Any form of exercise is great. Especially if you have a sedentary life. Anybody that wants to lose weight should start exercising. You can start with less physically challenging exercises. When you realize you are getting diminishing returns from your exercise routine increase their difficulty. That is the best way to make sure you always benefit from your workout.
I started exercising about a month and half ago - 40 mins of cardio everyday. I drink 6-8 glasses of water a day and I eat 3 normal meals with occasional snacking but I haven't seen any weight loss at all. (I'm not sure if this is relevant but due to shin splints, I cut my work out to 4 days a week, 30 mins a day, about a week ago) Any advice?
How hard was it to implement these changes in your life? If you were active before and ate healthy food this weight loss plan has a small impact on your body and you will get smaller results over time. The bigger the results you want the more you must change your lifestyle and eating habits.
Also cardio isn't that great for weight loss because it doesn't help that much. Try some strength training exercises to increase your muscle mass and benefit from the increased fat burning that you get after you finish doing the exercises.
Hi, I'm 16 ,5'2'', 130 pounds.
My goal is to get down to 100 by the start of my senior year. So I would be doing this over summer vacation.
Would following this article verbatum help me do so?
How many calories would you recommend comsuming daily for this goal?
My problem is that I binge eat, I take my stress out on food. I gained 30 pounds this year and I'm sick of it. I want to to go back to how I was at the start of this year.
Thank you
This article was great by the way.
I'm 16, 5'2'', 130 pounds, and I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds by the time my senior year starts. So I have summer vacation to work on my diet/exercise regimen.
If I followed the information in this article verbatum, would I be able to do that? How many calories would you recommend I eat to achieve this goal?
My problem is that I binge eat and take my stress out on food, so I feel like summer is the only time I'd really be able to commit to a diet/exercise program.
This article was great by the way, very uplifting :)
Yes Maria it will help you lose 30 pounds in a natural and healthy way. In this article I present the backbone of any healthy weight loss plan. The only sticking point of this lose 30 pounds in 3 months weight loss plan is eating the correct amount of food.
I can't tell you directly how much food to eat because everybody is different. The idea is to eat enough food to make hunger go away but not feel stuffed. Striking that sweet spot will speed up your weight loss dramatically. Combine it with eating healthy food (lots of veggies and fruits) and it will be almost impossible not to lose weight.
When it comes to binge eating you must find a way to put an end to it. Reduce the frequency of binge eating until it just doesn't happen anymore. Since your binge eating is stress related you should try meditating as a way to manage and eliminate the stress from your life. Getting rid of stress should be your first priority because stress forces your body to gain weight and to deteriorate your health. I know people who have lost weight just because they got rid of the stress form their life.
If you need any further help just write a comment or send me an email. I am glad you liked the article and I hope you will follow through with your decision to lose weight. You have to stick with your weight loss plan even if you go off it for 1 day. Say it's Sunday night and your friends make you eat lots of junk food. Come Monday get back on your weight loss plan. Also make a commitment to not let your friends influence your decision next time.
This is a GREAT article. I too want to lose 30 pounds in 3 months. Although I new this information in the back of my mind, to see it put together with reasoning helps to put it into action. It can be done, and I CAN do it. I am 5'6" and 199 pounds. Although I could stand to lose more than 30 pounds, I want to accomplish this goal first. The rest will follow.. Thanks again
I can't wait to hear form you Crystal with amazing news. I see you all pumped up and excited and I know you will succeed.
Hi, I'm 18, 5'4'' and weigh 160, my heaviest ever! I've been living in Dubai for three years and the lifestyle there makes you so lazy, so I gained 30 lbs in 3 years and now I wanna lose them in 3 months (I just left Dubai). Your advice obviously makes sense the most, I just hope I can do it this time. I'm gonna start jogging for about 30 minutes tomorrow and it shouldn't be hard to pick up the pace, I play basketball anyway. So here starts my journey!]
Hopefully by September 25th, I'll be back to my ideal weight of 130 pounds. Wish me luck!
Good luck Nadine! I know you will lose 30 pounds if you set your mind to it and stick to your weight loss plan.
I need to lose 30 pounds. I eat lots of high protein, low fat food (like plain tuna), lots of veggies, and snack on lowfat yogurt during the day, I also swim and do weights/cardio at the gym for about an hour+/ a day 6 days a week. I am not really seeing any results and only have 87 more days to my deadline. Any advice? I don't really have any more time to spend at the gym, because that will put me working out after 9pm then Insomnia sets in.
The only thing I can honestly say I need more of is water. I know I don't drink enough water but I had bladder surgery in January and water just goes right through me. Working in a cubicle all day isn't really conducive to restroom breaks every 10 minutes.
Thanks!
It sounds to me that you are very stressed Gretchen. Stress is very fattening. If you take a thin person, make her keep its diet plan and exercise level but add stress and she will gain weight. Many naturally thin people gain weight during stressful periods of time, and lose it once they get rid of it. So you have to find a way to get rid of stress. Have you ever tried meditating to clear your mind and eliminate stress?
You should really give meditating a try. Find some calming music, crate a relaxing environment around you, sit in a comfortable position and just relax. Let the stress melt away. You will be amazed of the results.
You have been pushing yourself very hard to achieve your weight loss goal. It is very common to strive for something and only get it once you get more detached and relaxed. It happened to me several times during my life. Sometimes going full frontal after something works, at other times it takes a more relaxed approach.
When you are more relaxed you have a clear mind and you can see where you are making mistakes. For example I went to the gym for 1 whole year, 4 times a week without getting any significant results. My brother came for just 3 months and he got all the results he was after. I was really furious. After calming down, analyzing my workout routine and taking working out more litely I was able to get to where I wanted to be from a fitness perspective in just 2 months. Go figure.
All I can say to you is to take a detached look at your weight loss program, see where possible flaws could be hidden. To make good decisions learn to relax and eliminate stress from your life. Especially don't let losing weight stress you and frustrate you. You won't get any results that way. Find creative ways to have fun while losing weight and the results will show up.
PS:try to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. It really helps improve your health. When it is hotter than hell outside drink a little more water. Just to be on the safe side.
heloo(: my name is Dominique. i'm 14 years old going to be a sophomore so i'm kind of youngish. I'm 165 pounds at the height of 5'2". I am actually very very active.. i play competitive soccer.. so i practice for 2 hours sometimes 3 hours four days a week and i usually have games every weekend with one day off during the week..
Once i got into highschool i realized that i needed to change the way i look just so i would stop being made fun of and to get in better shape for soccer although i did play varsity my freshman year.
My problem is mainly my eating.. i honestly dont eat that much really i just think its kind of all wrong.. and its hard to eat healthy when the rest of my family simply doesnt. My sister is thin and plays soccer, so she doesnt have to worry about what she eats and my parents just dont seem to care. I discussed that i wanted to lose weight with them and they told me it was a dumb idea and refused to go along with it, so they have stocked up even more on junk food and all that crap. I think it would be a lot easier if i got support from them.
It's summer so i'm really tempted to just lay around and eat and do nothing all day, especially because i have TONS of summer homework that i have to sit down for hours to complete..
Once school starts, it will be even harder with hours of homework, soccer practice, and little sleep. I also play basketball for the school, so that will add even more to my schedule..
I know what i have done wrong in my past, i know what i have done right, i know what i need to change, and i can change it, just somethingg that makes me give in a lot.. i cant figure it out. i feel so weak and powerless.. and i absolutely hate it..
Any suggestions?
Wow I am amazed at what young age you realized the importance of a healthy balanced life. Truly amazing. Congratulations for that.
From what you wrote you seem a very active person. The only sticking point is eating lots of junk food. The fact that your parents are refusing to get involved is too bad. It sound that they could benefit form healthier eating also.
The first thing you should do is eat more fruits and veggies. I know this health tips is ever present, but it is the best thing you can do for your health. It is amazing how little raw food most people eat.The more fresh fruits and vegetables you eat the better. If your family can afford it, organic fruits and veggie are the best choice. Since you are still growing make sure you give your body enough proteins form low fat meat. Grilled chicken meat is great. Please avoid deep frying your food, especially the meat you eat.Boiling, baking or grilling your food is the best way to cook it. For more healthy eating tips browse the site. There are tons of them.
If your parents are stubborn about buying healthier food, go with them shopping. While at the supermarket guide your parent towards healthier foods. Put more fruits and vegetables in the shopping cart. At home you can cook your own meals. I don't think your parents will force you to eat exactly what they eat. Be proactive and help your parent see the light at the end of the tunnel.
You get lots of aerobic exercises, but you should also consider doing some light strength training exercises. All you need are two dumbbells to exercise in your home. Your purpose shouldn't be building muscle, but strengthening your muscles.
A great time to exercise a little is just before you have to study. It will oxygenate your brain better and make you perform a lot better while doing your homework. You get to train your body and get an A too. Pretty cool. Just don't exercise too hard because then you will get too tired to think.
This summer don't just stand around, find some physically challenging activities in which you can get involved. You could also get a job, moving lawns, moving furniture, helping a neighbor with home repairs... you will get to make some money and exercise too. Find something that you like to do and do it.
Take small baby steps in the right direction and soon you won't feel weak and powerless anymore. Since you are young, if you form a good healthy lifestyle you will avoid lots of health problems later. You don't need to diet. Just get good eating habits and you will be just fine.
should i be eating protiens in all 3 meals or what should i eat?
Hi, I am 13 years old and 4'10" and weight about 120 lbs. my goal is to be 95 lbs. what kind of exercises can I do in order to achieve this goal in three months?? if I were to run on the treadmill at speed 5 for 20 minutes, eat better (and follow the tips you mentioned in the article), and do this 6 minute workout I found (1 minute of pushups, 1 minute of curl ups, 1 minute of lunges, 1 minute of squats, 1 minute of planks, and one minute of reverse standing curlups) could I achieve this goal?
It depends. If you are working out a lot and you want to strengthen and increase your muscle mass, increasing the number of calories you eat will help you achieve that goal. Also if you are getting hungry all the time, an extra portion of healthy proteins will help you get a lot less often hungry.
If your goal isn't that of building too much muscle mass, you don't have to eat that much. But you still need them. The simple way to evaluate how often you need to eat proteins is by looking at how often you exercise and how hard you exercise. The more you push your muscles, the more repairing they will need, which in turn needs proteins. To keep your muscles lean and strong adjust your protein intake accordingly.
If you are doing only light exercise, mainly walking, you don't need that many proteins. To avoid getting hungry all the time just eat more dietary fiber rich foods. They will keep you full for longer periods of time while supplying your body with just a few calories.
It is hard to give you a clear cut answer. It all depends on your goals and your current physical shape and activity. The golden rule is to give your body all the nutrients making sure they are healthy and in the required quantity. Learn to listen to your body and it will tell you exactly what it needs and how much it needs.
I believe you will. While exercising make sure you do it at an above average intensity. If you don't sweat a little you aren't exercising. I would recommend you run on the treadmill for 30 minutes 3 times a day and turn the 6 minutes workout into a 12 minutes workout 2 times a day (just do each exercise twice). This should get you started and on your way.
Another great way to get plenty of exercise is to go out with your friends and play ball or any other game that involves lots of movement. I know that getting disconnected from the computer or the tv can be hard, but having fun outside with your friends beats it by far. Just engage into fun physical activities. If you don't have willing friends, join a karate dojo, a dance class, a sports team... you get the idea. You will form new friendships, have fun and get a monster workout without knowing it. Plus you get to learn something new and cool.
Since you are so young please don't use diets to lose weight. Just get good healthy eating habits and you are set for life. Your body will grow and this will help you become thinner even if you maintain your current weight. So don sweat it. Just eat healthy food that doesn't come in a package and a huge ingredients list and find a sport you enjoy doing and start practicing it 3-4 times a week. You will never have weight problems in your whole life if you do this and stick with it.
hi,im katie. im almost 16 years old, 6 feet tall and about 170 pounds. my goal is 140.i have this condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)and it makes it really hard to maintain a healthy weight. I have been struggling with my weight since i was about 12 and went through puberty. thats when my pcos became a know problem in my life. since then i have struggled with self image, confidence and inumerable amounts of fad diets to try to lose weight. but still, i try to eat as healthy as possible, and have an active life. i feel like i go through phases where i am so focused, and eating perfectly and feel so good. but then, i have just a bite of something, and it completly throws me off track. then i find myself gaining weight, and binging on all junk food throughout the day. i dont know why cheating once just totally throws me off, but it ruins my hard work and makes me feel like crap.i am about to go into my sophmore year, and all i wish for is that i can be happy and confident in myself for school. Is there anything you would reccomend for me?
It seems to me Katie that what you need is a healthy dose of self-belief in your own powers. How can a cookie be more powerful than you. If you indulge a craving it doesn't meant that you messed up all your healthy eating and you need to binge like crazy.
The trick is to eat just a small of unhealthy food when you feel the need. You eat the cookie because you want to and because you can. From that position you won't need to worry about binging again.
You are still young and getting healthy habits should be your main focus. They will also help you control your PCOS, maybe even cure it. Having healthy eating habits doesn't mean that you can never eat junk food. Heaving healthy eating habits is all about being in control of what you eat.If you can exert portion control and make wise eating choices you will be set for life and enjoy a beautiful healthy body.
A trick you can use is the following. Each time you want to eat some junk food, first eat a healthy portion of some healthy food. Never eat junk food when you are hungry. Only eat junk food when you have the munchies, not because of hunger.
I'm sixteen, 5'6, and I weigh 180 pounds. I've been running for half an hour everyday and when I get home, I do 100 sit-ups. I also play field hockey. I have practice for 2 hours three days a week. Soon to be six days a week. I eat 1200 calories a day. I know I can lose 30 pounds in three months. But does anyone have any other advice?
I will be starting my more serious task to lose 30 lbs here today. I was a fit 5'10" weighing 155 lbs, athletic and very active male before. tragedy struck me when i injured my spine in a basketball game. I had to stop all physical activites by then. I started gaining weight as i resorted to eating more than what i used to since the accident. I was able to recover from the injury but the toll was visible enough. goodbye 6 packs. I started slowly and gained my strength back together with my form until another tragedy struck. I lost my fiance. (sad face) the emotional stress that i went through was hard. it rendered me useless for months and again I returned to my couch potato lifestyle. From 155 lbs i have blown up to an embarassing, to 210 lbs. That's putting a two year old in me. I started to have health problems and my apetite spiraled just out of control. I f***ed up myself.
4 months ago I decided it's over. I have to be me again. I started out with a decent diet and light exercise and maintained it for the 4 months. Now, I am 190 lbs (i hit 185 but i gained it back by being lazy during weekends) Now my goal is to be at 160 lbs by January 1, 2011. I stumbled in this site and found it very interesting and it inspired me to step up all my efforts. I want my goal badly. but the question how willing I am to sacrifice for it. and so are you.
I just finished my weights routine for today as I am writing this. just 30 minutes of intense upper body weight exercises and tons of stairs and squats for my legs. I am eating healthy and even if it's my bro's bday tomorrow, there will be no excuses. let's help motivate each other to gain our goals. I will give up elevator use starting tomorrow at work. (I am working in 6th floor) not bad I guess. No sodas, no more subway lunches, no more popcorn in movies, no more chocolate bars, ( i still have a twix in my lunchbag) LOL. and hello healthy balanced diet. oh, most especially no more beer and hard drinks. (I guess sex will count as exercise eh?, so I will not scrap that out) lmao
I will be posting my progress in this site from now on and hope to inspire others to follow up in our goal. 1-1-2011 my goal is 160 lbs. I have barely 3 and 1/2 months to go. can I do it? Yes I will. and so will you.
Let's make our dreams to reality and say hello to our new selves. booooyyyeaaaahhh!!! I'm pumped! :) Good luck everyone!
