Help,in losing weight
 

iv always wanted to lose weight but never had the motivation:| to or even when im hungover i need crisps or fizzy drink to help the hangover.lol.:sad:but when i see myself in the mirror i really want to lose weight!:shocked:

i really want to lose weight but how do i go about it,3 meals a day and the gym or walking etc..im 19 5ft 4" and round 12 and half stone:shocked::wall::oops:

HELP!!please..

its not about what you weight it about how you look im 23, 5ft.9 and 15.8 but dont look it

what do you wanna do just lose weight? or keep it off?

you'll need to change your life style and eating habits

east 6 small meals (snacks) a dau insted of 3 main meals

dont miss breakfast

start weight training

30mins cardio in the morning before breakfast

The missus lost about 4 - 4.5 stone and i lost 3 -3.5 stone in 12 months!!!!!

We followed the slimming world plan, now eating what i want ( within reason ) now and never been happier!

We've also been more active too.....


Good luck, but i'd wait till Jan!

i want to lose it and keep it off, but i know people who are doing the weight watchers diet and they can eat what they want by counting their calories for their day.

could that also work? some days i could just eat 2 things then other days i cant stop eating:shocked::cry:does special k help you lose weight?

if i started the gym will that not only tone me up,i wana lose weight then get toned up:grin:i would give anything to lose weight, soo hard:shocked:

yeah was thinking that,maybe wait to after xmas then it can be my new years resolution and really work hard at.:shocked:

Im a Slimming World consultant, i would definitely recommend the plan to anyone, men especially as you dont need to go hungry to lose weight unlike many " diets ".

You will find as a man that your weight loss will be in the region of 2-3lbs weekly on an average, if you stick at it 100%.

Might be something to consider.... ;-)

The thing with WW is that it is calorie controlled, but not neccessarily in the healthiest way, as you can realistically waste all of your points on a big mac then starve yourself for the rest of the day, as you have exceeded your daily allowance.

SW is also calorie controlled, but it doesnt feel like it as you have lists of unlimited free foods which you can eat, without measuring any time of the day, things like lean meat, poultry,pasta, rice, potatoes fish, eggs, low fat dairy products, fruit and veg, with small amounts of bread and cereals.

special k alone wont help you lose weight, reducing the amount of calories you consume and exceeding the amount you normally use will make you lose weight.

Ive lost 2.5st and ive got another 1st to go i think, maybe 1.5st ill see how i fare. I know ill be at target by April at the latest :DD:

Hi Mate, Here is a bit i wrote for Coldo on his Post.

This is a Fair read but will Help You.

I Have a few freinds who are Pro Body Builders who have helped me and i have learned a Bloody Lot over the Last Two years.

Best Way to shift the extra lbs is do some cardio as soon as you wake in the morning before any food/breakfast,you only need to do 20mins but is so effective its unreal.

I understand this aint for everyone so even cutting back on the amount of carbs you have in a day (this is how i did it) When im cutting and when i lost most of my weight it was due to cutting back on Carbs big time. I still ate loads of high Protein,Chicken etc but i cut back on the likes of all Bread and Pasta etc and this works very very well.

I wouldnt recommend doing a totall cut out of all carbs as u need them for energy and you will get mega tired, i had to live on sugar free Red Bull (it has zero carbs) to keep me awake during the day.

Cut back on Carbs and have plenty Protein and u will notice a diff,if u can add 20 mins Cardio (bike,treadmill etc) AFTER your workout this will help big time too.

At the mo i have a nice Belly on me too lol as im on 8 weeks of Bulking but when cut in jan i should loose it all and be nice and ripped.

The diet below is Good and dosent have that much Carbs and would do pretty well for you, if u can u could remove some of the sourses of carbs from it to make it work better for you.

Main thing is Dont Rush, Take your time, Most people loose interest as they want a fast result, I treat myself once a week to ANY meal i want (cheat meal), Last sat was a Belter of a 4 Course indian that would feed an army, but the follwoing day i was back to eating good and i put on Zero Weight.

This way it saves me getting bored of the good eating and gives me something to look farward to on a Sat Night.

Hope this Helps Mate

Diet:

During the day I drink around 2-3 Litres of water as well as the below

This diet is a a Guide for you. To sum it up if you can aim to get around 25g of Protein per meal and Keep carbs low (less than 20g) if you can you wont go far wrong, You also need to make sure you get some Good fats in you aswell, like Nuts etc or Fish.

Try doing its Natural First before you even think about any Help (i.e) ECA Stacks etc. Get Yourself into a Routine THEN if your struggling for Motivation/Energy maybe take something to help.

Bradz what a post, can I ask what Raw oats are?

s for all the advice people,but i think it just depends on your body, and how well it adapts to losing weight,hopefully good:clap:i agree aswell that you should have some kind of treat every week or youl just want to give up if your craving something esp after a nite out!:-)...
after xmas am going to lose weight.:greenjump:

ive replied to your pm :D

its not hard to lose weight its pretty simple eat less drink more... job done. shifted 2.5stone in 3months! from 13.8 to 11.2

Its all about self control

its not that simple for most people though is it ;-)

Raw oats are as they come and not cooked, straight from the bag, but by all means add some Water and microwave for 2 mins to get some more taste from them.

A Huge Bag of Oats from the likes of Asda is about £1.

well its self control lol!! depends how much u want to stick to it i guess?!

plenty of people wnat to stick to it, some people have very little willpower and need a lot of support to lose weight :clap:

..all i will say is plenty of good clean balanced food, then go to the gym,start working out it will make dieting easier...for some reason it is easier not to cheat and eat junk if you are having a good workout 3 times a week...as for routines just ask the local trainer to show ya...it will work if you really try...
