What is the best way to lose weight without hurting myself?
Question:
Answers:
it sounds like you're yo-yo dieting.. that never has good results.. just be patient.. keep doing exercise and watch how many calories you are eating each day.. DON'T stop eating completely! I've been working on losing weight the healthy way since the beginning of the year and so far I've lost 20 pounds.. it's not as fast as starving yourself, but you'll end up healthier in the long run..
First of all, I'm trying to start a weight loss group to help ppl trying to lose weight with motivation, tips, and such. If you're interested in joining, email me: iwannaloveyou48@yahoo.com... Here are some tips on a healthy diet and exercise plan:
In addition to 60 minutes of cardio a day (Walking, jogging, swimming, dancing, or jumping rope are great!) I do ab circuits multiple times daily.
*100 crunches
*50 bicycle crunches
*25 leg lifts
*balance your weight on your right elbow (20 seconds)
*balance your weight on your left elbow (20 seconds)
*20 push-ups
Tip: always keep your abs tight (even when sitting or walking)
Diet: eat foods low in sodium to counteract bloating of the stomach; eat healthy food all around
For arms, legs, etc. I use resistance bands, weights, and do squats and lunges (50 lunges at a time and 25 squats at a time).
Small changes are a key to starting a healthier lifestyle
*Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
*Walk up the escalator if there aren't stairs.
*During a break from work, just go outside and walk (you'll be more inspired to keep at it if it's outside on a pretty day) or do a few squats.
*Start small: Do a few crunches/ push-ups each day, and steadily increase the number.
*Even though your schedule is busy, try to fit in at least 30 minutes of walking or some other cardio. (jogging, swimming, jumping rope)
*Turn on some upbeat music and just dance... At home, this isn't embarrassing or anything. Just relax and dance; it's really fun!
*Throw out all the junk food in your house, and don't let yourself buy any... When you're tempted to buy/eat junk food, picture yourself as gorgeous and thin... that'll keep your focus on the goal.
*Switch to whole grain foods; they are much healthier.
*Choose healthier snacks... We're always tempted by sugary and high calorie snacks like we find in vending machines. Instead pack an apple, a rice cake (they are REALLY good), or a nutrition bar.
*Add more servings of fruits and vegetables; it's tough, but they are healthy and can fill you up faster.
*When fixing a meal, prepare everything then put up the bags, boxes, etc. so you won't be tempted by seconds.
*Brush your teeth right before and after a meal. It will curb your appetite.
*Eat slowly and take smaller bites because the "I'm full" hormones will be signalled better.

I have the same problem, and there isn't any easy answer, or I'd be rich now :P
When I was 15 I went to the nurse in my school, she was awesome. I saw her every 2-3 week and there we weighted me and then talked about how i was eating and all that. she was great, but i donno if u can go and talk with your nurse like that, not all of them are as sweet as that. I also had friends around me who knew about my problem, and who always helped me and cheered me up when I hadn't lost any weight during one week. That's very important. ANd also to give urself some treat for losing maybe just some pounds, but like my nurse said, not candy or anything like that, but maybe a nice day out, movies or somethign...
But unfurtunatly the only way, is to exercise and eat less candy and stuff. Never miss outo n food, that'll only make u gain more weight, since ur body'll think it's starving.
I dont believe in all those metods around today, like atkins, eat everything, green food, meat, bread, just make sure it's not too much of one thing.
Really hope you will lose the weight u wanna, and can be confident in urself.
Good luck :D
